Today we are thinking about the glory of God’s kingdom as revealed in Jesus when He came into the world through human birth. John 1:14 says it like this, “…the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” […]
Psalm 34:4 says, “I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears (Hebrew fright).” Someone has observed that there are 365 “fear not’s” in the Bible; if so, then there is one for everyday of most years. The Bible clearly says “God has not given us the spirit of […]
Psalm 145:11 “They [the saints] shall speak of the glory of your kingdom, and talk of Your power.” The word glory (depending on its context) can have an array of definitions; here it speaks of the splendor and copiousness of the manifestation of God in His kingdom. And since presently His kingdom is established in […]
This world is filled with terror, anxiety, uncertainties, and disasters; if our eyes are focused on these, they can become overwhelming. Do you remember the story of Peter walking on the water? When his eyes focused on the surroundings, instead of on Jesus, he began to sink, Matthew 14:30. God has promised to be with […]
King Darius had it right when he said “…His kingdom is the one which shall not be destroyed, and His dominion shall endure to the end” Daniel 6:26. Truths about the kingdom are woven like a cord throughout the Scriptures, so don’t be surprised if from time to time you see kingdom truths come up […]

Hebrews 13: 15 which we touched on in the meditation about worship in the kingdom, draws our attention to the praise and worship aspect of living as part of that kingdom, but then verse 16 directs our attention to […]
Over the next eleven weeks Rose’s poetry rhymes will carry us through some of the promises God has made to His chosen people. Just so you make no mistake, His chosen people are all those who take Christ Jesus as their Lord and Savior, calling upon Him in truth. Psalm 145:18 says, “The Lord is […]
We are continuing to look at various aspects of the kingdom of God (or of heaven). Being part of a kingdom means living by the regulations of that kingdom. In Hebrews 12:28 we read, “Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace by which we may serve God […]
An inheritance is something of value that is received from an ancestor, predecessor, or friend; usually by virtue of relationship with them, rather than being earned. Perhaps Paul had family inheritance in mind when writing in 1 Corinthians 12:14, “the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.” […]
During the Christmas season several outstanding words that are prominently used are Love, Joy, and Peace, each being a treasure in itself. God has brought all three to us as a gift in “the Man Christ Jesus” 1 Timothy 2:5. To have the love of family and friends is a treasure greater than earthly wealth […]
