Hear the cry of the Psalmist, "Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation; that I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance." Psalm 106:4-5 May we remember the day You covered our sins and cast them in the sea of forgetfulness. May we remember You suffered when...

Just as our human father has certain responsibilities for his children, God has taken responsibility for us, His children. Our God is an everlasting Father, promising He will never leave Thee. Romans 8:15-16: "For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, th...

These are questions that need to stir our heart on occasion that we might grow in the things of the Lord! Christianity has wondered far away from total dedication.. Saints we need to strengthen our Love for God! It is good to stop on occasion and have a checkup as to how committed we are to God’s Love!

Green is a symbol of resurrection, we see it each year as the green springs forth all around us. What an incredible symbolism of our eternal life. To the Christian, it is our eternal destiny! It is growth, flourishing, as the rainbow filled with the colors of God. We are surrounded by Him. His presence surrounds us every moment of every day.

The mighty wind of God descended upon humanity this very day of Pentecost! O what a glorious entrance into our lives. Out of the treasures of God came the Holy Ghost, as the sound of a mighty rushing wind, and it filled all the house! The Spirit of Truth was ushered in and a Great Witness was given that Christ was sent from Father God, and this day of Pentecost He is glorified to all who believe o...

Proverbs 16:15-17 In the light of the king's countenance is life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain. How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver! The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul. Proverbs 16:19-20 Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to div...

This is a day no doubt everyone remembers their mother wither she was great or she disappointed you. She gave you Life! The Greatest Gift she could give. Let us be thankful, and why not give her a call if she is still with us on this earth!

"The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace." Numbers 6:24-26 Moses commissioned Aaron to speak this message unto the children of Israel. In this blessing of Aaron the priest is what God is to us! He is the blesser, the perserver, the provider. He is the Lover of His people, H...

We turn to the New Testament to hear the spiritual aspect of food for our souls. Hebrews 10 is a great study for your devotion this week. O how awesome is the New Covenant! The Word of God turns to exhort us in spiritual matters relating natural food to spiritual food.

Today we find a mortal being in scripture that will give us some thoughts that will strengthen our spiritual life. We are flesh, and sometimes fail our beloved God, but let us look at a man whose "heart was lifted up in the ways of the Lord!"

Psalm 145 is the psalm I wanted us to look at and meditate upon, so today the question is before us. "How often do I praise God?" When we praise Him, it is like saying I love You, Lord, and then we go into the many reasons we love Him. Then we declare His wonderful works to everyone around us! This psalm is a personal psalm of King David.

John 20:27-29 "Then saith He to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold My hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into My side: and be not faithless, but believing. And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen Me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed."

As we celebrate Palm Sunday, it is sad that the praise that sounded forth was temporary - for some of the same voices that "Praised Jesus ultimately turned to yell crucify Him." Shallow praise will never be in eternity! Only the ransomed will experience the glorious unending high praises that fill the heavens.

As we walk with Jesus in this Lenten Season we come to "A Mountain" where the awesome holy moment of Transfiguration happened. What a powerful moment that the disciples were given to see Jesus illuminated, glorified, and brilliantly shining, and with Moses and Elijah.

There may be various studies on the manifestation of Christ, but today, in this Holy Season of Lent, it is good to remember and mediate upon the fact that Jesus was manifested to destroy the works of the devil.

Today we follow Jesus into the synagogue and hear His first sermon. It is more than a sermon, it is a revelation of who He is and what He has come to earth for ... He stands up to signal He will read the Torah. Interesting, they hand Him the book of Isaiah. Hear the passage He chooses ... Isa. 61:1-3.

We do not have the whole account of Jesus' temptations for the scripture begins with "being forty days tempted of the devil, and Jesus fasting, now He was hungry. After these forty days of temptations we are now privy to the final three temptations which no doubt encompassed the totality of His temptations.

This is a remembrance! It is placed on the church calendar by our fore fathers many years ago that there would be a call to keep the suffering of Christ before us that we might remember the price He paid for our eternal life. So we stop in this holy season of sacrifice and each Sunday we walk with Jesus until resurrection brings the glory of life after death to us!

We know we are not perfect, yet He remains the same. Heb. 13:8 tells us, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever." He asks one thing of Us; Jesus said: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself." Luke 10:27

We look to the scripture to find biblical strength as we seek to develop a greater trust in God and grow in spiritual strength! We live in such a hurried time, busy, busy and little time to contemplate the love or glory of our God.

The price was paid by our God and His son! The call here is for us to thirst after Spiritual matters. The call here is for us to thirst after spiritual matters.

"Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied." I Samuel 17:45

Faith is part of our confession, but it must "have stay power behind it." We must be able to "walk" out the circumstances that sometimes challenge us. Faith is a staple of our life in Christ! It is a "Fruit of the Spirit" with companions of love, joy, peace, gentleness, longsuffering, goodness, meekness and temperance!

Mat 2:1-2 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. Mat 2:11-12 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshiped him: and...

This is a strong strategic hour in which we live. As we look to the future our hope must be in our God, not in the things of this world. If we know this, we must practice our "faith?" Faith is more than confessing that you believe and trust the Lord Jesus. It is actually walking in a realm where you know that whatever happens He will never leave you nor forsake you. It is living the life of trust...
