Have you ever wondered how we are to wait on God? What does He mean when He says we should wait on Him? Let’s look at a couple of scripture verses to help us understand this: first, and I believe foremost, is Isaiah 40:31, “But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they […]
Diligence is a key and primary ingredient in both seeking and serving God. To be diligent and function in diligence is to put forth constant careful effort, preserving in hard work with steady effort, painstakingly. Half-heartedness is not acceptable with God. Jeremiah 29:13 tells us that we will find God when we search for Him with […]
In what is probably the most well-known “faith” chapter in the Bible, Hebrews 11, we are given a glimpse into the life of Abraham when God called him to leave his homeland to go to another country. By faith he began his journey even though he did not know where he was going, simply following […]
Because we, the human race, rejected God’s direction soon after our creation, we were cut off from entering His presence, except through the substitution of an innocent victim. Therefore, the Old Testament laws of sacrifice were established for that era of time; the tabernacle with all its statutes and ordinances was erected and practiced, but […]
The days in which we live are pressing days, with the demands of life and the concerns of the world around us weighing heavily upon us. The spirit of the age would entice us to be so focused on these things that our spiritual infrared vision is blocked; this in turn becomes a blocking mechanism […]
This week we conclude our mini series on “Have you been robbed?” Once again we emphasize from John 10:10 that our enemy, Satan, has a threefold agenda, which is to steal, to kill, and to destroy! Robbing us of health and vitality is another of his key targets. Some physical afflictions are directly attributable to […]
Once again we are reminded that we have a common enemy that is out to rob us of everything God intended and has planned for us, (John 10:10). Satan’s first hatred is against God Himself, originally trying to dethrone Him, according to Isaiah 14:12-15; failing in this, his next attack comes against God’s prime creation, […]
Today we begin a three-part prophetic exhortation that the Lord gave to Rose that we have entitled “Have you been robbed?” The truth of the matter is that we have a common enemy, called Satan, whose goal it is to steal everything God has given and made available to us, because he is a thief […]
“I will arise and go to my father,” Luke 15:18. This son known as “the prodigal” had wondered far away from the security, the safety, and the abundant provisions of home just like mankind had “wondered” far away from God and the abundance He had provided; this son was “living it up” in the “night […]
Today’s meditation thoughts bring us to another of the prophetic exhortations that have been given to Rose. As you ponder these thoughts, we suggest you read the several Scriptures that form a backdrop for them. Come first to the potters house with Jeremiah in 18:2-6, and view the remaking of a vessel that became marred […]
