“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.” Romans 8:1-2 We are human, we all make mistakes. We say things we should not say and do things we should not do. Often our attitudes are completely opposite to what the Lord would want us to show. We often feel guilty, wishing we could turn back the clock and do things differently. At those…
“But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.” Isaiah 53:5 I am so glad for the cross of Calvary and the blood that Jesus shed for us there to purchase…
“But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they…

“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30 God told the prophet Jeremiah to make a wooden yoke and use it as an illustration to the people of what God was planning to do. He told them that the Lord was going to allow Babylon to take over their country as well as many…
“(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)” II Corinthians 5:7 I have always enjoyed reading stories about the early settlers who left their homes behind and made the long journey to settle in the west. They had no idea of all the difficulties they faced, and there were many who lost their lives on the journey. In many cases as they looked at the mountains they were approaching, they wondered how they would ever make it across. But somehow most of them found a way. In books at least, when faced with the impossible, they always found a way…
“And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13 When I woke up this morning, I heard birds singing. I am sure that they were singing praise to their Creator, who had given them wings to fly, and provided the seeds and berries that they needed for their food today. I raised my blinds and looked at the beautiful blue sky, with just a few fluffy clouds here and there. I opened my window and felt the cool breeze, such a relief after several very warm days.I admired…
“And of Asher he said, Let Asher be blessed with children; let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil. Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days, so shall thy strength be.” Deuteronomy 33:24-25. In Chapter 33 of Deuteronomy, Moses is pronouncing blessings upon each of the tribes of Israel. After leading them for many years, he is now about to be taken away from them. He makes predictions and promises about what awaits them in the future. I like the last phrase of his prophecy to Asher: “As thy…
