Precisely because He is zealous for His holiness, God’s judgment saves all who call upon Him – that is, all who worship Him in spirit and in truth. Lesson Passage: Zephaniah 3:8-17 Lesson passages taken from the Good News Bible Memory Verse for this week: Zep 3:17 The LORD your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with…..
A few weeks ago, during my quiet time with the Lord, I was led to a couple of verses in Paul’s 2nd letter to the Corinthians. Because all of us are in the “senior citizen” category, this chapter struck me as very relevant. There are several places in the Word of God where God has promised not to forget those who have aged in years. Sometimes when we get discouraged because we can’t walk like we used to, we can’t…..
I love the Psalms, the songs of King David. They teach us, they comfort us, they help in our prayers to God. Many things I’ll say to day I have said over and over, but they seem to be things that need to be said, to you, to me, to anyone who needs God. And who doesn’t need God? Today I want to look at Psalm 65. Praise is awaiting You, O God, in Zion; And to You the vow…..
Precisely because He is zealous for His holiness, God’s judgment saves all who call upon Him – that is, all who worship Him in spirit and in truth. Background Passage: Zephaniah 3:1-3:20 Lesson Passage: Zephaniah 3:8-17 Lesson passages taken from the Good News Bible Transform. That’s a word that seems to be popular right now. I have heard it on ads for life insurance, investments, dentistry, skin creams, and more. “Use this, take this, do this and transform your life.” …..
Background Passage: Zephaniah 1:1-2:15 (NKJV) Lesson Passage: Zephaniah 1:1-11 Memory verse: Zeph. 2:3: T urn to the LORD, all you humble people of the land, who obey his commands. Do what is right, and humble yourselves before the LORD. Perhaps you will escape punishment on the day when the LORD shows his anger. Much like God’s holy judgment against the earth in Noah’s day, so is His judgment against idolatry brought to bear in any spectacular day of the Lord……
How often do you wonder just what you should do? For some of us, it’s should I go here or there? For some of us it’s do I go to the dining room or the nurse’s office? Should I talk to this person or ignore them? Should I sleep or move around? Should I cry about this thing or pray about it? Should I watch TV or try and talk to someone? We all face many choices in our day,…..
The song, The Lord’s Prayer, has been on my heart for several weeks. I sang it at our morning church service two weeks ago and again at the Englewood Home on Union road for those in the Bible study. God has kept it on my heart and I believe I am to speak on it today. I copied several verses from Matthew 6 (from the NKJV) concerning prayer and felt they all went together. I grew up in a church…..
It is one thing to say “Fret not,” but a very different thing to have such a disposition that you find yourself able not to fret. It sounds so easy to talk about ”resting in the Lord,” and “waiting patiently for Him,” until the rest is upset – until we live, as so many are doing, in tumult and anguish, is it possible then to rest in the Lord? If this “don’t” does not work there, it will work nowhere. …..
In the late 90’s, Beth Moore and friends put out a book they called, Voices of the faithful. It’s a daily devotional that I used, along with another in my quiet time for years. Then it sat for several more years while I went on to other things. For the past 5-6 months I have been back into it. It has several short incidents from missionaries around the world, speaking about things they have had happen and how they were…..
This year I thought about a message I heard a very long time ago that contained the story of some of the women that traveled with Jesus. There really are several women prominent in scriptures, both in the OT and the NT. Then I was reading about Jesus with Mary and Martha, and how each one responded to Him. That made me think about how the Bible, and therefore God Himself, wants women treated. One of the ways God told…..
