"My flesh and my heart fail; but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever" (Ps. 73:26 NKJ). This verse was visibly demonstrated to me in an intensive care unit. Leitha, a friend of the family, was rushed to the hospital suffering from a severe heart...
"But at evening time it shall…be light" (Zech. 14:7 NKJ). This verse speaks of a phenomenon of light at evening. It refers to a future time when Jesus will bodily return to earth and His feet will touch down upon the Mount of Olives. According to verse 4…the Mount...
"Who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in trouble..." (2 Cor. 1:4 NKJ). This is a case of "freely you have received, freely give." Each of us has received something from the Lord (in stress situations) that we can pass...
"He has made us accepted in the Beloved" (Eph. 1:6 NKJ). Accepted in the Beloved. What an encouraging word. In this world, with its constant search for affection, approval, and acceptance, it is good to know that we Christians are accepted in the Beloved. We do not...
"This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish - But the wisdom that is from above is first pure..." (James 3:15,17). There is a sentence in the Anglican prayer book that reads: "Deliver us from the world, the flesh, the devil." That...
"These things says He who is holy. He who is true, …He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens: See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it…" (Rev. 3:7-8 NKJ). This verse presents an area called the transition zone....
"Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you" (1 Peter 5:7 NKJ). This verse contains a play on words: your care becomes God's care. Reading in the original language helps add a dimension not always evident in the English version. The words "care" and...
"God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit…" (Heb. 2:4 NKJ). Just when you feel your witnessing is ineffective, your testimony discredited, your words falling on deaf ears, the Lord comes to add His...
"The peace of God - will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus" (Phil. 4:7 NKJ). This verse calls to mind an armed sentinel standing by to prevent intrusion. Soldiers guard fortresses; sentries watch over premises. But here is peace which stands guard....
"A land for which the Lord your God cares; the eyes of the Lord your God are always on it, from the beginning of the year to the very end of the year" (Deut. 11:12 NKJ). As we come to the end of this year and look back over these past twelve months, we see so many...
"In fastings often..." (2 Cor. 11:27 NKJ). The week between Christmas day and New Year's day is an ideal time for fasting and prayer. All the Christmas activities are over and we find ourselves looking right into a brand new year. For those who are able to do so,...
