Rom 2:16 says that “God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ.”  Ecc 12:14 says, “God shall being every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.”  How is it possible that God can judge the secret things?  God will...

In Ps 143:8, twice David said to the Lord “Cause me.”  To cause is to make it happen.  He said, “Cause me to hear thy loving kindness in the morning.”  And he said, “Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk.”  By searching for the phrase “cause me,”...

The church in Sardis had a name that they lived, and yet they were dead.  There are so many Christians like this today.  Because we are saved, we are alive in Christ.  We are born again.  We have eternal life.  We are going to heaven when we die.  Yet, despite...

In Num 2:12-13, God told Balaam, specifically, not to go with the men who came from Balak and not to curse Israel because Israel was blessed.  So, Balaam knew, in no uncertain terms, exactly what God wanted him not to do and why.  When Balak’s men came back and tried...

When Israel went into the land of Canaan, they conquered the land by little and little.  God could have killed all the inhabitants in a day, but the land would have been overrun by beasts.  After four and a half years, Israel had conquered enough land that they could distribute...

There are things in your life that will affect your spirit.  And when your spirit gets down, you are in trouble.  We often think that our spirits won’t be lifted until whatever has gotten us down is resolved or is taken away.  But such is not the case.  You can...

In Acts 11:22-24, Barnabas exhorted the church at Antioch “that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.”  To purpose in your heart to do something is to become so resolved that nothing will change your mind.  For instance, in Is 14:24-27, the Lord purposed to break the...

In Ps 23:1, David said, The Lord is my shepherd.  Though he was the king of Israel, and the best king Israel ever had at that, he needed a shepherd.  With the Lord as his shepherd, he had: Contentment – I shall not want Rest – lie down in green...

Ps 119:1-8 shows us that we are supposed to walk in the law.  This is not in the sense of keeping the Old Testament law for salvation.  To walk in the law is to walk by the faith of the words of God; to obey what God shows you to...
