“As for God His way is perfect; The word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him” Psalm 18:30. God’s word is perfect as He Himself is perfect, i.e. entire, complete, and lacking nothing, there is nothing to be desired beyond it; full of truth and integrity. His […]
After the death of Moses God spoke to his assistant Joshua placing the responsibility of leading the Israelites on him. The time had come for them to claim and conquer the land God had promised, which they had failed to do approximately 40 years earlier. It must have brought awe and fear to Joshua, however […]
In Psalm 4:1 David’s prayer was “Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness!” Did God answer his prayer? Oh yes He did. In Psalm 40:1 he said, “I waited patiently for the Lord; And He inclined to me, And heard my cry” (He bowed down listening to my prayer). Interestingly, the words […]

Psalm 62 is a great Psalm of encouragement to those trusting God through times of adversity and testing, those who are established firmly on the rock of salvation having the calm assurance that God is their defense, their strong tower of refuge and safety. When looking at his adversaries the Psalmist sees them as we […]
“There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His” Hebrews 4:9-10. God’s work of creation followed by rest in Genesis 1-2 forms a perfect picture of His new creation in us “through the redemption that […]
In Luke 24:13-35 we have the account of two of Jesus followers going to Emmaus on the day of His resurrection, they were downcast, sad, their hopes dashed, and their future plans crumbled, not really knowing how to face their future, when Jesus appeared on the road and joined them. While they had heard His […]
