Ps 30:10 Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me: Lord, be thou my helper.
KJV
Our theme this week seems to be small statements that carry great weight and here we find another in Psalm 30:10. I am always filled with wonder at the change that takes place when one calls out to the Lord for mercy and help. Not just the change when the person calls out but the eternal change that takes place. Eternity is changed when […]

John 10:1-3 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
KJV
“He calleth His own sheep by name”. Another […] -

Ps 118:8 It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.
KJV
As I read my Bible I find that it is most often the simplest verse that makes the most profound statement to me. What a simple statement Ps 118:8 makes but what a tremendous truth. The man the Holy Spirit used to write down these words of God is not identified but I like to think, as most do, that it was David […] -

Ps 127:1-2 Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.
KJV
How many times I have read the 127th Psalm I could not begin to count especially when our children were young. Over and over I […] -

2 Cor 12:7-9 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will […] -

Isa 48:10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
KJV
The axe head floated, the mountain was made a plain as we have looked at the last two days. God is concerned with the smallest of things in our lives as well as the mountains set before us. Why is this so important for us to remember? Because we will be in the furnace of affliction many times while […] -

Zech 4:5-9 Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.
7 Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the […] -

2 Kings 6:1-7 And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell with thee is too strait for us.
2 Let us go, we pray thee, unto Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go ye.
3 And one said, Be content, I pray thee, and go with thy servants. And he answered, I will go.

Prov 16:17 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
KJV
I was driving on some roads yesterday that were anything but good, headed for a highway that most likely would have been worse. Where snow was not making driving difficult rain was starting to freeze on the roadway. I stopped and went back home in order to avoid an accident. Did you know there are highways in the Bible? […]
