WELL DONE, GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT
God gives each of us time, talent, and money that we are to use for the expansion of His Kingdom. In times past some had considerable responsibility and authority as some do today. Others are not gifted in such a way as to be able to do all the things others do,...
THE NEED TO REMAIN WATCHFUL
Matthew 24 Verse 42 applies all that Jesus said beginning in verse 32. Jesus' disciples need to remain watchful because the exact time of the His return is unknown even though signs of His coming will point out His approach. Jesus continued instructing His...
THE CERTAINTY OF GOD’S WORD
Jesus was telling His disciples what the signs would be before He would come back and all the things that would happen. Then He tells them of the certainty of all this happening with the words in this verse. With these words He is claiming that all of His...
INVITING THE LORD TO EXAMINE ALL THAT WE ARE
Have we done as David did and invited the Lord to examine our innermost motives, thoughts, and what we stand for? David did and could say before the Lord and others that he knew how loving the Lord is. He could also say that he had walked in a proper manner...
REFLECTING GOD’S GREATNESS AND HOLINESS
David expresses his trust in God several times in this Psalm and also asks that he not be ashamed. He truly trusts in God as he says and has gone public in affirming his trust in the Lord. If the Lord lets him down and his enemies triumph over him not only will...
DIVINE GUIDANCE
David knew he needed divine guidance and instruction to be able to walk in righteousness before the Lord, but needed help in knowing exactly what to do. Every day is a new day and opportunity to walk worthy of the calling of the Lord Jesus Christ. Do we seek His...
SYMBOLS OF BLESSING

THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT
Every day we miss the mark on the greatest commandment to Love God like He deserves. He deserves first place in all we do and the way we do it should be pleasing to Him. The second, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself" is quoted from Leviticus 19:18 and is...
WHO OR WHAT IS YOUR GOD
Who or what is your God? A god is anything we sacrifice to or for. We can sacrifice all our time, money, and energy for a job, a hobby, family, or any number of things. These can be good things if put in the proper priority. We need to make sure that God is the...
GOD IS HOLY AND SAYS BE HOLY AS I AM HOLY
God used Moses to speak to them all the information (The Word of God) they needed to live in such a way as to please Him. The people affirmed all that God said was good and said they would obey the commands. They made two mistakes as we often do too. First they...
LORD, WE WANT OUR EYES TO BE OPENED OR THE BREAD FROM HEAVEN
God fed the Israelites with the food that came down from Heaven. Jesus said He was the bread that came down from Heaven (John 6). This manna was the only food they had for the 40 years of wilderness wandering. Christ is the only (spiritual) food we need during...
THE LORD WENT BEFORE THEM
The Israelites were not left alone to wander aimlessly, trying to find their way out of Egypt. He did not deliver them from Egypt only to leave them to their own devices as to which way to go, how to get there, and to face all the obstacles and dangers on their...
