In Philippians 3:8-10, “that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection…” is the heart cry of the Apostle Paul. In the context leading up to these verses, he speaks of his background in Judaism with its rituals and his knowledge of the law, but he now understood that this did not “cut […]
We read in Hebrews 4:12, “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword …” and this tells us that the word of God is energetic, active, effective, and working. It is something that is said – the thought, topic, reasoning, motive, and expression – specifically the divine expression […]
When beginning his leadership role in Israel, God said to Joshua, “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night …” (Joshua 1:8). The “law” refers to the precepts or statutes of God, and “depart”, in the Hebrew, means receding by contact, or to […]
In Isaiah 55:1-3, God, speaking through the prophet, is inviting everyone that is hungry and thirsty to come and obtain satisfaction, delight, and to experience the full benefit of His covenant provisions. In these verses the water, the wine, the milk, and the bread are all used symbolically. The water of His presence will bring refreshing; […]
As we begin this New Year, Rose and I plan, for some weeks, to be focusing these meditation thoughts around the word of God. When a poetic rhyme accompanies the meditation it has been written by Rose, and her insights set the theme for the meditations. She and I seek to work together, with the […]
In Philippians 3:10, “that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection…” is the goal of the apostle Paul. The Contemporary English version says, “All I want is to know Christ and the power that raised Him to life”. Are you seeking to know Him, or are you merely seeking to know about Him? Are […]
Today, we continue from last weeks meditation, Full Surrender, looking at the picture Jesus drew from Luke 9; but now we’ll focus on Matthew’s account in 16:24-25, and the two words we are emphasizing is “save” and “lose”. In verse 25 He said, “For whoever desires to save his life, will lose it, but whoever […]
In Luke 9:23, Jesus says, “If anyone decides to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.” There are three words here that I want to call special attention to; they are “deny”, “cross”, and “daily”. In the language Jesus spoke, to deny is to utterly deny, […]
Heaven; a place many people talk about, but relatively few are preparing to go to! It is a place of indescribable beauty, splendor, abundance, and tranquility from the description of its capitol city given in Revelation 21:1-22. In John 1, Jesus tells His disciples (who were probably troubled because of His impending departure from them) […]
Both old age and youth are beautiful in the sight of God. “Behold, children are heritage from the Lord, The fruit of the womb is a reward” (Psalm 127:3). And Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God” (Mark 10:14). Yes “The glory of young […]
