Daniel 4. It is God who sets up rulers and removes them. King Nebuchadnezzar allowed his pride to be his downfall. He was one of the greatest and most powerful rules of his day, until the Lord humbled him. Yahweh is King of kings and Lord of lords. No amount of earthly power or rule …

Daniel 3. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego would obey and follow Yahweh, even if it cost their lives. They were willing to be thrown into the fiery furnace rather than bow to a golden image. They trusted God, no matter the cost, and God rescued them in the fire.

מ Mem 97 Oh, how I love your law!    I meditate on it all day long.98 Your commands are always with me    and make me wiser than my enemies.99 I have more insight than all my teachers,    for I meditate on your statutes.100 I have more understanding than the elders,    for I obey your precepts.101 I have kept my feet from every evil path    so that I might …

כ Kaph 81 I deeply long for you to save me.    I have put my hope in your word.82 My eyes grow tired looking for what you have promised.    I say, “When will you comfort me?”83 I’m as useless as a wineskin that smoke has dried up.    But I don’t forget to follow your orders.84 How long do I have to wait?    When …

Even though the Babylonians had invaded Jerusalem, God would not give up on His people. He gave them a beautiful promise through His prophet, Jeremiah that said, “When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will come to you and fulfill my good promise to bring you back to this place. 11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares …

Jeremiah had followed Yahweh from the time he was a young man and heard His calling. Even though it had led him to a muddy pit, Jeremiah could still say, “Great is your faithfulness, O God.”

The Lord had placed His Words inside of Jeremiah, and even if he tried to walk away from his calling, he couldn’t. There was a fire inside his bones, the fire of the Word of God, that would not stay silent. God had given Jeremiah words to speak, and even though it caused him persecution, …

ט Teth 65 Do good to your servant    according to your word, Lord.66 Teach me knowledge and good judgment,    for I trust your commands.67 Before I was afflicted I went astray,    but now I obey your word.68 You are good, and what you do is good;    teach me your decrees.69 Though the arrogant have smeared me with lies,    I keep your precepts with all my heart.70 Their hearts are callous and unfe...

A new episode

God had called Jeremiah out of hiddenness, into the life of a prophet. God was placing His words into Jeremiah’s mouth. It would not be easy, in fact, it would be so hard, Jeremiah came to be known as the weeping prophet. God’s call is not to ease, but to obedience. A life with God …

ז Zayin 49 Remember your word to your servant,    for you have given me hope.50 My comfort in my suffering is this:    Your promise preserves my life.51 The arrogant mock me unmercifully,    but I do not turn from your law.52 I remember, Lord, your ancient laws,    and I find comfort in them.53 Indignation grips me because of the wicked,    who have forsaken your law.54 Your decrees are the theme...

The Word of the Lord is alive and active. It cuts through to the very heart of our motives and thoughts. This is why the enemy tries to get us to do anything but read God’s Word, for he knows that when we do, we will be like Josiah and the Israelites, convicted and repenting, …

2 Kings 21 and Isaiah 51. King Manasseh will be remembered as one of the most wicked kings who reigned over Judah. Because of Manasseh’s sin, Judah would be exiled from the Promised Land. BUT, God had a plan….

ה He 33 Teach me, Lord, the way of your decrees,    that I may follow it to the end.34 Give me understanding, so that I may keep your law    and obey it with all my heart.35 Direct me in the path of your commands,    for there I find delight.36 Turn my heart toward your statutes    and not toward selfish gain.37 Turn my eyes away from worthless things;    preserve my …

2 Kings 20. God sees our tears, and He hears our prayers.

The new king of Assyria had turned his sights towards Jerusalem. Sennacherib dared to threaten the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He soon found that Yahweh is no mere false god made of wood or stone. The Holy One of Israel would not let His name be blasphemed. All who are proud will be …

ג Gimel 17 Be good to your servant while I live,    that I may obey your word.18 Open my eyes that I may see    wonderful things in your law.19 I am a stranger on earth;    do not hide your commands from me.20 My soul is consumed with longing    for your laws at all times.21 You rebuke the arrogant, who are accursed,    those who stray from your commands.22 Remove from me their …

2 Kings 17. The end of the northern kingdom of Israel is one of the saddest stories in the Bible. It’s a story of what happens when people choose to follow their own self-made gods rather than the One True and Living God. God had called Israel, His chosen people, to be a light to …

2 Chronicles 29. A highly important, yet very overlooked woman of the Bible is Abijah. While married to an evil and wicked king, she faithfully raised her son to follow in the ways of the Lord. Talk about the power of a mother! Abijah’s faithfulness to raise her son in the ways of the Lord …

א Aleph 1 Blessed are those whose ways are blameless,    who walk according to the law of the Lord.2 Blessed are those who keep his statutes    and seek him with all their heart—3 they do no wrong    but follow his ways.4 You have laid down precepts    that are to be fully obeyed.5 Oh, that my ways were steadfast    in obeying your decrees!6 Then I would not be put to shame    when …
