Song 7:13 The mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates are all manner of pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved.
KJV
I have preached a few messages out of Song of Solomon over the years, not many because of the content of the book. But there are some great blessings in that book that are at times overlooked. Here I find pleasant fruits laid up, both new and old and […]

Mic 2:1-3 Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.

3 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall […] -

Luke 12:34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
KJV
Had a bit of answered prayer yesterday that for some reason or other I did not expect. It reminds of the treasures we find in Christ which is exactly what it was. It makes me this morning want to that the Lord more and more for His wonderful grace and mercy. It makes me stop and count my blessings and thank the Lord for the prayers […] -

Rom 3:26-28 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
KJV
Jesus Christ is the justifier. How can one be made just as if they never sinned, how […] -

Rom 3:23-24 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
KJV
Many times in the Bible one can read a verse of utter despair and a verse of unspeakable joy, one right after the other. Romans 3:23-24 is one of those times. What gloom I find in Romans 3:23. To be a sinner, to be short of the glory of God […] -

Eph 1:13-14 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
KJV
An earnest is a guarantee. I signed one many years ago, a guarantee that I would pay back the money I borrowed […] -

Jer 32:41-42 Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.
42 For thus saith the Lord; Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.
KJV
This is a puzzling thought. God is certainly pleased when we do good, but does God bring […] -

Ps 84:1-7 How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!
2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.

Jer 33:1-3 Moreover the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying,
2 Thus saith the Lord the maker thereof, the Lord that formed it, to establish it; the Lord is his name;
3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

Verse three above is a very well known verse and one […] -

Phil 2:15-16 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.

As was brought out earlier it is not easy to keep your eyes on the Lord, not easy to […]
