(Psalm 107:1)…..OH, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.” This Psalm is wholly devoted to the praise of God’s mercy. In each of the twenty-six verses of (Psalm 107), we have the expression: “His mercy endures forever.” The Psalmist was full of this glad thought. Our hearts too should be filled with the blessed assurance. The everlasting, unchangeable mercy of God is cause for unceasing praise and thanksgiving. Let us read what is said about God’s mercy in the well known Psalm. …

(John 14:16)…..”And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever,…..

If you allow Him to, the Holy Spirit will guide you in every area of life; from the words you should speak, to the truth you will learn, to way you should pray, etc.. The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity of God. It is difficult for humans to understand how there can be only One God, as the Scriptures teach, yet be three distinct persons …

(John 15:5)…..”I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. There are three reasons to pray: for God’s benefit, for your benefit, and for the benefit of others.

To benefit God…..through our requests, God can justly intervene in earthly situations and bring His will to pass. So, praying in line with God’s Word benefits God. To benefit you…..prayer is communication with God. It includes listening, discussion, and giving thanks, not just asking for …

Why is it that David (king David of the Old Testament) can trust God? Why can we trust Him? Because He is Lord (my Lord) (Adonay; Ad-o-noy). He has authority and power and is matchless in His being. David wrote, “The LORD said to my Lord…” (Psalm 110:1). Thomas said, “My Lord and my God!” (John 20:27-28). Paul wrote, “…Christ Jesus my Lord” (Philippians 3:7-8), by virtue of His death and resurrection (Romans 14:8-9). Peter also proclaimed Jesus as Lord to the Jews on Pentecost (Acts …

The Bible teaches us that salvation is of the LORD from the beginning to the end. The Scriptures point out this truth in text such as (Jonah 2:9) (Psalm 3:8) (Psalm 37:39). These passages should convince the reader who the author of salvation is. Since salvation is wholly and absolutely of the LORD, everything involved in a person going to heaven must be provided and given by the LORD. God has provided and given to us the blood of righteousness of His Son. He has given us faith. He has given …

(Psalm 55:23)…..But You, O God, shall bring them down to the pit of destruction; Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; But I will trust in You. Having enemies can cause many to be afraid, David was certainly afraid at times. But how did he get victory? He put his trust in God, praising His word. The trust of David involved praising His word. David took God’s word and believed His promises, even in trying times. When we are tested it is time to trust our Lord …

I was in several Bible Studies this week and the conversation took a side way with the concern of what is happening in our nation and the world. In a few of the elderly the concern of what was going to happen if we lose such things as retirements, social security, the ability to buy the necessities such as food, gas, electricity, etc. Praise the Lord that we have Him! Praise the Lord that those are things He has promised to provide if we would seek first His kingdom. It’s awe-inspiring …

(Psalm 73:25-28)…..Whom have I in heaven but You?And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You. ²⁶ My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. ²⁷ For indeed, those who are far from You shall perish; You have destroyed all those who desert You for harlotry. ²⁸ But it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all Your works.

“Whom have I in …
