The Morning Meditation

Yesterday on The Morning Meditation we look at 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 and saw how that You Are Not Your Own.  Being a servant of the Lord is so much better than being a slave to sin!  Today on The Morning Meditation, let us meditate on: SELF JUDGMENT Romans 12:3 “For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; b...

Yesterday on The Morning Meditation, we looked at The Unspeakable Gift of God.  What an amazing thought that the gift of grace that is ours cannot even be put into words.  Today, in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 we will meditate on the subject: YOU ARE NOT ...

Yesterday on The Morning Meditation, we saw Seven Wonderful Things from Titus 2:11-14.  Are you in awe of the Grace of God?  I am so thankful for all He has done for me.  That brings us to today’s meditation. THANKFULNESS FOR GOD’S UNSPEAKABLE GIFT 2 Cor.  9:15  “Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.” The subject that surrounds this verse is giving. In chapter eight Paul is commending the c...

Yesterday on The Morning Meditation we looked at The Trespass Offering and we saw how that in Christ, what we are guilty of He paid for on the cross. Today we are going to look at: SEVEN WONDERS Titus 2:11-14 "For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,  Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this prese...

Yesterday on the Morning Meditation we talked about the Second Touch and we saw how that Salvation is not a gradual process, but becoming like Christ is a growth process.  We need that Second Touch!  Today, we are going to look at: THE TRESPASS OFFE...

THE SECOND TOUCH Mark 8:22-26  “And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him. And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought. And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking. After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and ma...

GOD’S PURPOSE IN THE GIVING OF THE LAW Our Meditation this morning will be on the law of Moses as a schoolmaster. Paul deals with the law in Galatians. There were those in Galatia teaching that the keeping of the law was essential to salvation. Paul tells them that anything, including the law, that is inserted as a part of the gospel, perverts the gospel and makes it ineffective as a means of salv...

Exceeding Great Reward Genesis 15:1, “After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.” Everywhere we turn today, in society, in the business world, and in the home, tensions and pressures are creating a spirit of fear in the lives of people. We are constantly hearing of people taking a gun and going into...

THE SIN OFFERING Lev. 4:1-12 “And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin through ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which ought not to be done, and shall do against any of them: If the priest that is anointed do sin according to the sin of the people; then let him bring for his sin, which he hath sinned...

THE PEACE OFFERING, A PICTURE OF RECONCILIATION Lev. 3:1-5  “And if his oblation be a sacrifice of peace offering, if he offer it of the herd; whether it be a male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before the LORD. And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and kill it at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron's sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood...

THE INCARNATION OF GOD IN CHRIST John  1:14 “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” I have mentioned the incarnation in a meditation before. But this verse must focus entirely on that subject. John dips deep into the mysteries of God and comes up with the astounding truth of God becoming...

THE ROLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE CHRISTIAN LIFE Matthew 10:20 "For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you." The Holy Spirit identifies with the believer and becomes his source of information which he preaches.  Jesus said it is “the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.” Let's notice some of the roles He plays in the life of the believer. THE HOLY SPI...

THE INDWELLING OF THE SPIRIT Psa.  51:11 "Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me." This is the prayer David prayed after the sin of adultery with Bathsheba.  While God has never had but one plan of salvation, He has definitely dealt differently with regard to the Holy Spirit before Pentecost.  The Holy Spirit came on certain to empower their ministry and the Lord...

RECEIVING THE HOLY SPIRIT John  15:26 "But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:" The giving of the Spirit is as much a promise of Christ as salvation is. John  +15:26, "But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which procee...

A SEVENFOLD VIEW OF THE HOLY SPIRIT John 16:13 "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come." There is a sense in which the Holy Spirit has always been in the world.  For instance the Holy Spirit was in and worked in the lives of the saints...

THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH Gal.  +3:11  “But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.” There are at least seven things that is said about faith in Galatians two and three that I want us to look at in this meditation. Paul talks about the hearing of faith: Chapter 2 and verse 2 says, “This only would I learn of you, Received ye the...

I AM FROM ABOVE John 8:23 “And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.” This is one of those Scriptures that the Pharisees had such a problem with.  They were confused at this point.  The problem of where Jesus came from is settled once-and-for-all with this statement.  But just like unsaved religious leaders today, they buried their h...

THE GREAT COMMISSION Matt. 28:16-20 “Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. And when they saw him, they worshiped him: but some doubted. And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power...

AN ETERNAL MEMORIAL Exo.  12:14 "And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever." The passover is a graphic illustration of the deliverance one gets when he trusts Christ as his personal Saviour.  Someone has said, “The story of the first Passover is just an early edition of the...
