Isa 61:10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
KJV
One year for a gift my mother made me a bathrobe. It is big and it is warm and all these years later, at least 35, it […]

Heb 4:9-13 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, […] -

2 Sam 7:25-27 And now, O Lord God, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, establish it for ever, and do as thou hast said.
26 And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, The Lord of hosts is the God over Israel: and let the house of thy servant David be established before thee.
27 For thou, O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will […] -

Gen 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
KJV
Winter has finally arrived here in central PA. I like the changing seasons because they remind me of the faithfulness of God. For some weeks now many have been saying how much they like the warm temperatures through December and the first part of January, how they do not miss the snow, how much they […] -

1 Chron 16:11 Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually.
KJV
We end the week with another short verse. Where is your strength today? Is it in family, is it in government, is it in you bank account, is it in friends, is it in doctors, where is your strength today? If your strength lies any other place than in the Lord Jesus Christ it is misplaced. I am glad I have family, have a church family, […] -

2 Tim 4:6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.
KJV
Another of the shorter verses in the Bible, but this one leads to the most important question that can ever be asked, are you ready to depart? Not depart for work, school, vacation, or any other place on this earth, but are you ready to depart this earth, are you ready for eternity? Paul knew the day of his […] -

Matt 14:30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
KJV
Another of the shorter verses in the Bible but it contains the most important words ever spoken by Peter, “Lord, save me.” Peter on his own said some impulsive things in the Bible that he later regretted. Peter inspired by the Holy Spirit said some of the most important things in the Bible. Here Peter cries out […] -

John 11:35 Jesus wept.
KJV
Another short verse that speaks volumes. Who was Jesus weeping for, what was Jesus weeping over? Jesus was at the grave of Lazarus so He must have been weeping because He lost a friend, right? No. Jesus knew what He was about to do, raise Lazarus from the grave. So why was Jesus weeping, who was Jesus weeping for? Jesus was weeping over the brokenhearted, Jesus was weeping for those troubled in soul and spirit, […] -

Phil 1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
KJV
Very often it is the shorter verses in the Bible that say the most. There are twelve words in our text verse this morning, the longest containing five letters. But in this one verse we find the answer to a question man has been asking perhaps from the very beginning, what is the meaning of life, why are we here? Some philosophers have spent their […] -

2 Peter 3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
KJV
This is the Word of God, the Bible, God speaking to us, God commanding the believer in Christ to grow spiritually. These are also the last recorded words of the Apostle Peter and last words carry special meaning, they have in every society in every generation. The last words, the last […]
