Soon after leaving Egypt, crossing the Red Sea as by dry land, witnessing God overthrow Pharaoh and his army when they tried to follow them, and having a praise service for the victory (see Exodus 15) they come to the wilderness of Shur; in verses 23-25, finding no water for three days they came to […]
About a month and a half after being miraculously brought out of Egypt by God His people run out of food and rather than trusting Him for more miracles they resort to complaining against Moses and Aaron, God’s ordained leaders, which God considers to be against Him! Think twice before you find fault with those […]
A shield was an important part of ancient armor, used to protect the soldier against incoming rounds from the enemy. Figuratively it is used of God as the protector of His people. David used this figure of speech during the time of Absalom’s rebellion recorded in 2 Samuel 15 as he took flight to the […]
God knew there would be many difficulties in this life, opposition, pressures, trials, demands of life’s necessities, and those of society, Etc. However He instructs His children “to be anxious for nothing” Philippians 4:6-7; the word anxious (translated careful in KJV) is the same word Jesus used in Matthew 6:25 as worry (or take no […]
In Luke 24 we are told about two of Jesus followers (who were not of the twelve Apostles) going to Emmaus on the day of His Resurrection.

Since the conflict of the church is not against “flesh and blood”, though instrumentalities of flesh and blood may often raise it (in addition to our own fleshly lusts and desires), our battle is against the root cause, “against principalities, against powers, […]
Job was an upright man that feared God and kept himself from evil, 1:1. Being severely tested he neither sinned with his lips or blamed God, 1:22; 2:10. However he spoke beyond his knowledge, and when God questions him he acknowledges his error, despises himself, repents in full humility, then steps out serving God and […]
In Exodus 33:18-20 Moses asked God to be shown His glory, to which God replied that Moses would see His goodness and hear the proclamation of His name, but could not physically look on His face. In due time God sent Jesus to become a part of mankind, and through Him we can see God’s […]
It seems that the Judahites Thought of themselves as God’s chosen race that would always experience God’s good blessings, failing to keep in mind that those blessings are only attained to by abiding in and keeping His covenant. Because of blatant sin, moral decline, and rebellion, Babylon came against Jerusalem and captured it bringing […]
