(Psalm 91:1-8)…..He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.” 3 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence. 4 He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. 5 You shall not be afraid of the …
The Lord Preserves Us!
(Psalm 16:1-6)…..Preserv me, O God, for in You I put my trust. 2 O my soul, you have said to the Lord, “You are my Lord, My goodness is nothing apart from You.” 3 As for the saints who are on the earth, “They are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight.” 4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god; Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take up their names on my lips. 5 O Lord, You are the portion of …

Why Should We Pray?
(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.
This verse has spoken volumes to me in the past years. It became even my go to verse for a year or so, always coming up in my thoughts and conversations. This verse really points people to the importance of prayer, and staying in communications with the Lord. There are three reasons to pray: for God’s benefit, for your benefit, and for …
Jesus, No Ordinary Man!
Just the fact that God stepped out of eternity into time is almost mind boggling. I read of the shepherds lowly and undeserving. I read of the angels amazed that the Creator was born in the image of the creature. I read of the wise men and that these Gentiles traveled far to praise the Lord Jesus Christ. I read of the manger and I am reminded that Jesus as a baby was still holding all His creation together as He played in the arms of His mother. I read …
He Shall Be Great!
(Luke 1:32-33)…..32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. 33 And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.”
This verse in Scripture reaches far back beyond the time of David to the days of Jacob. It brings to mind the words of Jacob spoken to his son Judah just before he died (Genesis 49:8-12). As he lay dying, …
Jesus! What a Name
(Matthew 1:18-25)…..18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. 19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly. 20 But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to …
His Mercy Endures Forever!
“OH, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.” (Psalm 107:1)
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, …
A Gift – For Me?
Jesus’ humble birth signified the kind of life He would live all the time He was here on this earth. At one point in His ministry He had no place to call home (Matthew 8:20). When He died others provided the things necessary for His burial (John 19:38-42). God Who made everything, Who owns everything, Who possess all authority and all power, Who is mighty in glory and majesty, humbled Himself so you could have everything in heavenly places in Christ. So glorious is He (John 8:58) (John …
