Zephaniah 3:17 – The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing. So many people in this day and age never received the blessing from their mother or father. They […]
Psalm 11:7 – For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright. God’s business is putting things right. We don’t see Jesus settling many disputes or negotiating conflicts. But we do see him cultivating inward harmony through acts of love: Washing the feet of men he knew would betray him. Honoring the […]
Proverbs 1:33 – But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil. It seems as if those who fail to “give heed” to wisdom are increasing in our day. Even among those who claim to follow and worship Him, are many who are more interested in their own […]
Psalm 34:20 – “He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.” This psalm written by David is a true prophecy of the Lord Jesus Christ. When Jesus was crucified on the cross for the sins of all mankind, His body was beaten, bruised, flogged and pierced. But through it all, none of […]
Isaiah 41:10 – “Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God.

Numbers 14:18 – “The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty…” Most of us are by nature impatient. We don’t enjoy waiting in long queues and barely hold it together when someone cuts us off on the road. We try to be patient to a certain extent, […]
Isaiah 32:4 – “The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.” Have you ever made a hasty decision without thinking things through, only to regret it later? Most of us have spoken hastily or made rash judgements without thinking of the consequences. […]
Luke 4:18 – “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised…” In today’s verse, we see […]
