The Bible says, “To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven” Ecclesiastes 3:1. Yes, this includes the time to seek the Lord. Isaiah 55:6 says “Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near.” The season to seek Him will not always be available […]
As we continue looking at Psalm 46, in verses 8-11 we see God as our victorious warrior. The desolations He makes in the earth are explained by Jamieson-Fausset-Brown as literally, ‘who hath put desolations’, destroying our enemies.” Making wars to cease might refer to the time the angel of the Lord slew 185,000 Assyrian soldiers […]
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” Psalm 46:1. A refuge is a shelter, a place of protection, a fortress, and a place of hope. The message here in Psalm 46 1-7 is that even when the earth and all that is in it are in turmoil, in God there […]
“But the fruit of the Spirit is…self-control” Galatians 5:22-23. This fruit has to do especially with sexual activity, but as we learn from other Scriptures like Colossians 3:5-10, it encompasses every area of our life! The Apostle writes in 1 Corinthians 9:27 “But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest…I myself should […]
“But the fruit of the Spirit is…Meekness” KJV (which we are using for today’s meditation). Meek, gentle, humble, lowly all seem to be companions in this fruit. We should never confuse meekness as being weakness, rather as I quote from the Spirit Filled Life Bible; it is “power under control. The person who possesses this […]
“But the fruit of the Spirit is…faith” Galatians 5:22 KJV. Today we are again looking at the fruit of the Spirit called faith that is implanted in us by the Holy Spirit Himself. Colossians 2:7 says, “rooted and built up in Him (Christ) and established (stabilized) in the faith, (truth and truthfulness of God) as […]
“But the fruit of the Spirit is…faith” Galatians 5:22 KJV. Many of the newer versions use faithfulness instead of faith; the original King James translators separated faith and faithfulness which come from two different Greek words, their definitions however being very compatible, perhaps even complementary, with each other. Faith and faithful are distinguished by only […]
“But the fruit of the Spirit is…goodness”. This fruit obviously is closely related to kindness, actually we can look at goodness as kindness in action; indeed all of these fruit are related to each other, they are the fruit of the Spirit (singular) not fruits (plural) with each manifestation working together with the others to […]
“But the fruit of the Spirit is…kindness” These nine manifestations of the Holy Spirit in our lives sometimes overlap each other, all being interlocked like the links of a chain each lengthening it and being part of the whole. This fruit of kindness, which is translated as gentleness in the King James Version of the […]
