Ps 22 & Ps 78 The psalmist says we are to tell the next generation about the Lord and his saving deeds and what he has accomplished. We can’t pass that job off onto the preacher or the missionary because the psalmist says, “we” will tell. Jesus said to “go and tell.” How many of […]
Psalm 19 The Heavens Declare the Glory of God! The other night God graced us with a double rainbow! What a joy to see it and to remember the promise of God to never flood the earth again. The weather and the creation of God is an amazing picture of His holiness and majesty. Perhaps […]
Psalm 16-18 “Innocent” When you see this word what comes to mind? What is the standard we use to determine whether one is innocent or guilty? The Hebrew defines that word as what is right, rightness, justness. When we look at David’s life we read and see his sin of adultery, his faithlessness in disciplining […]
Ps 13 to 15 “Through God’s Eyes” Wouldn’t it be marvelous if we could see with God’s eyes? Instead, God says trust me, for I see not as man sees. King David reflected on his world around him and viewed with a renewed vision exactly what God saw. First, he saw men like blameless Job […]
Psalm 9-12 God’s Longsuffering Patience We are learning more and more about the power of prayer in the lives of believers. Yet there will always be those who rebuff God and refuse to bow the knee or utter words of praise to Him. They are like the men in Romans 1:20 who see the evidence […]
Psalm 8 begins and ends with the same phrase: “O Lord, our Lord, How majestic is Your name in all the earth,” “We need not wonder at this, for no heart can measure, no tongue can utter, the half of the greatness of Jehovah. The whole creation is full of his glory and radiant with […]
Psalm 1 to 4 “Blessed Men and Women” God blessed Job; “a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and turns away from evil.” James references Job “Think of how we regard as blessed those who have endured. You have heard of Job’s endurance…” [James 5] Now, as we leave Job behind and move […]
Job 38-41 We have been waiting for 37 chapters to hear God speak and answer Job and Satan. The one surprise is that God does not speak to Job’s suffering, nor does He solve Satan’s challenge. No-where in these chapters does God speak to Job’s dilemma at all. Instead, God reminds the listeners about Himself […]
If there is one truth that we have hopefully gleaned from this Coronoavirus is this: there is no guarantee of a tomorrow. Elihu wants us to realize that . Job 35-37 Elihu is full of words as he continues to share his wisdom. He is right in that God is exalted in power. Even though […]
