Numbers 14:19-20 “Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now. And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word:” Moses was eighty years old when the Lord directed him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt to the promised land. In spite of all their murmurings and complaining, he had done his job well. He brought them to Kadesh-Barnea and sent the twelve spies into the land to check it out. They came back, carrying samples of the…
“Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice…
2 Corinthians 10:5 declares, “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.” Our minds are so powerful, they can allow untruths to take root to where we will begin to believe a lie.…

“I was there when he set the limits of the seas, so they would not spread beyond their boundaries. And when he marked off the earth’s foundations,” Proverbs 8:29 Humans struggle with being told what to do. Everyone wants to be the Captain, to be in charge, to take orders from no one. We don’t like having boundaries, and we love to exercise our “right” to our own free will. God has placed boundaries for a reason though, a very important, life saving reason. Have you ever driven through a highway, that was over-looking the ocean? You can smell the…
“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6 Mountains of difficulty ahead It seems you cannot make it through. Rocky paths that you must tread. Storm clouds obscure the view. Look up! Help is near. God leads the way. Have no fear. Just pray. Faith. How easy it is to quote this scripture to a friend or family member who is going through a trial. We advise them to just pray and trust the Lord and everything is…
1 Samuel 3:1 ESV “Now the boy Samuel was ministering to the Lord in the presence of Eli. And the word of the Lord was rare in those days; there was no frequent vision.” There are a few interesting facts about Samuel. First, he was a miracle baby. His mother Hannah was barren and desperately wanted to have children of her own. God heard all of her fervent prayers, and along came Samuel. She immediately dedicated him back to the Lord once he was weaned, and he began serving the chief priest in the tabernacle. During those days, the word of the Lord…
Sometimes God will put a word on my heart. Most of the time, I don’t know why or what direction He wants me to take it. Sometimes I don’t respond immediately. In the last couple of weeks, the word remember has been on my heart. My husband recently gifted me Noah Webster’s 1828 Dictionary, published by Foundations for an American Christian Education. It has been such a blessing to me and to my studies! I love it. I know it sounds really silly to be excited about a dictionary, but I am! The definitions often tell you what the word…
