2 Tim 2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
KJV
Apologies for no devotional yesterday as I was away from my PC. We continue now with our word study looking at the phrase “Be strong”. Found only three of the thirty six times in the New Testament the first is in 1 Cor sixteen. (1 Cor 16:13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.) Here I […]

2 Tim 2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
KJV
Thirty six times in the Bible we find the words “Be strong”. Yesterday we looked at the first use of those words together in Nuumbers thirteen. Today we find the command to “Be strong and of a good courage”. (Deut 31:6-7 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it […] -

2 Tim 2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
KJV
A little word study for our devotionals this week. The phrase “Be strong” is found thirty six times in the Bible. Above is the last time it is used. The most well know occur in Joshua chapter one. This morning I want to begin with the first few. (Num 13:18 And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth […] -

John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
KJV
Another short statement to finish our week. What is truth? Where can truth be found today? Certainly not from the government or the news. I can’t even bring myself to watch the news today. Can truth be found in family and friends? Even if they do not intend to lie or mislead they can and perhaps often do. Where can I find truth that I can depend upon? […] -

1 Peter 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
KJV
This short statement carries a command. To be honest I tend to like the short statements that tell me what and who God is or what God will do for me rather than the ones that tell me what I need to be or do. This one tells me to be something I have trouble with each day. Be holy, be set apart from sin, […] -

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 […]
