Gabriel’s Message to Mary Luke 1 They had waited hundreds of years. They were looking for a man, for a king, for a Messiah. Did they know God had decided to send HIMSELF? No, they didn’t. They simply could not fathom that God’s plan was to send Himself. It was the most miraculous message ever …

Luke 1. God’s plan was beginning to unfold. It began with an angel named Gabriel, sent to tell Zechariah that he would have a son, and his son was to be named John. John would be the messenger to prepare the way for the Lord.

God is not slow in keeping His promises!

God spoke to His prophets long before Jesus appeared on earth. God had a plan from before the world began. Jesus was and is the Lamb who was slain at the foundation of the world. God gave glimpses of His plan to His people hundreds of years before Jesus came. There was no possible reason …

Jesus said, “I am the way, the TRUTH, and the life….” He also said that He would send the “Spirit of Truth” which is the Holy Spirit. The world would try to tell us that we can create our own truth, but God has already declared what truth is. He IS truth. He defines truth, …

The only explanation that Job’s friends could find for why Job was suffering was to think it was because he had done something wicked. Their theology only left room for the wicked to suffer. Yet, we learn from the story of Job, that the righteous will face suffering and persecution as well. God is good …

Job 1-2 We must get a right theology of God for when we face suffering. We will suffer in this life, and that does not mean that God is bad. The first thing Satan wants us to do is curse God when we are in pain because He knows that will bring separation between us …

God promises us that if we rely on Him, we will be like a tree that is planted by streams of living waters, flourishing and prospering with roots that go deep. The one who trusts in himself will be like a bush in the desert…dead and lifeless. God’s Word is truth, and His promises are …

Nehemiah 12-13. Nehemiah understood the importance of order in worship. He reminded the people of the God’s command to tithe and keep the Sabbath. Both of these practices are safeguards to make sure worship is a regular part of our lives. When we give back to God what He has given to us, we are …

Nehemiah 8-9. Upon hearing the Word of the Lord read aloud, the people’s hearts were stirred. They fell on their faces in worship before the Lord. They repented of their sins and renewed their covenant with Yahweh. God’s Word is alive and active and will always accomplish its desired purposes in the lives of people. …

Nehemiah 4-6. God had called Nehemiah to a specific task, but it would not be without opposition. There will always be enemies of God, but that does not mean we should give up. Nehemiah faced fierce opposition, but rather than fight it in his own strength, he looked to the Lord to be his defender!

Nehemiah 3-4. Nehemiah saw a need, and he stepped out in faith to be a solution. God partners with us, His people, to step out in faith. He places burdens on our hearts for specific people and needs, and He then asks us to step out and trust that He will provide what we need …

Nehemiah 1-2. Nehemiah was a man of prayer and faith. He knew His God would be faithful.

Ezra 7-9. Ezra was a man of the Word. He had diligently studied the Word of the Lord, and because of his faithfulness to know and study God’s Word, the hand of the Lord was upon Him. The same is true for us today!

Esther 5-9. God moves and works in ways we cannot see. He is always at work. We must trust that when we cannot see what He is up to, that He works all things together for good to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose! Esther put her faith in God, …

Esther 2-4. The book of Esther reveals the sovereignty of God. He is all powerful and thus, always in control. God’s sovereignty is not diminished by our free will. Rather, the mystery of God’s sovereignty is that He allows us free will. He allows us the opportunity to partner with Him for “such a time …

ש Sin and Shin 161 Rulers persecute me without cause,    but my heart trembles at your word.162 I rejoice in your promise    like one who finds great spoil.163 I hate and detest falsehood    but I love your law.164 Seven times a day I praise you    for your righteous laws.165 Great peace have those who love your law,    and nothing can make them stumble.166 I wait for your salvation, Lord,    and...

Esther 1-2. God’s favor was upon Esther, just as His favor had been upon Joseph and Daniel in a foreign land. God’s favor is never an end unto itself. God places favor on the lives of His people for the calling He has placed on their lives. God calls you and I to live out …

Haggai 1-2. God spoke to Haggai in order to stir the hearts of the people to not give up on the rebuilding of the temple. What they thought looked like ruins, was just the beginning of God’s work of restoration. God had a plan beyond their wildest dreams. This plan would involve the healing and …

 Qoph 145 I call with all my heart; answer me, Lord,    and I will obey your decrees.146 I call out to you; save me    and I will keep your statutes.147 I rise before dawn and cry for help;    I have put my hope in your word.148 My eyes stay open through the watches of the night,    that I may meditate on your promises.149 Hear my voice in accordance …

Ezra 3-4 The Israelites faced much opposition upon their return to the Promised Land. The enemies in the land began accusing the Israelites and setting up obstacles to their continuing the rebuilding of the temple. Satan is called the accuser of the brethren. Day and night, he never stops accusing. The only way to drown …

Ezra 1. God is never late. He is working even when we cannot see Him. His timing is not our timing. Don’t give up on God, friends. He has not given up on you. Even in the waiting, He has a plan, and He is always working all things together for our good!

פ Pe 129 Your statutes are wonderful;    therefore I obey them.130 The unfolding of your words gives light;    it gives understanding to the simple.131 I open my mouth and pant,    longing for your commands.132 Turn to me and have mercy on me,    as you always do to those who love your name.133 Direct my footsteps according to your word;    let no sin rule over me.134 Redeem me from human …

Daniel 6. Daniel was a man of integrity and character. When his enemies tried to find fault with him, they came up empty. Daniel lived his life in public just as he lived it in private, so when a law was made that forbid him to pray to his God, Daniel could not obey. He …

Daniel 5. God sets kings on their thrones, and God removes kings from their thrones. Lest we not forget, God is sovereign, and He is Lord over all. In the end, every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Let us not be found wanting like King Belshazzar!
