Acts 20:32—”And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give.” Commend means ‘to recommend’ in old English.

1 Peter 2:16-20—”Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God. Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor.

Psalm 34:1—”I will bless the LORD at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth.” This is what David said when he changed his behavior before Abimelech so that he drove him out and he went away. David knew who His God was. He wrote songs of praise and poured his heart out […]
Job 32:8-9—”But it is the spirit in a person, the breath of the Almighty, that gives them understanding. 9 It is not only the old[c] who are wise, not only the aged who understand what is right.” It is commonly spoken that ‘with age comes wisdom’. The thinking is that age, the x number, brings […]

Psalm 116:2: Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. God inclines His ear when His children speak to Him in prayer. The psalmist here says that He loves the Lord because He has heard his voice and his supplication. If you get an […]
Mark 7:34: And Jesus when He came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd; and He began to teach them many things. What is compassion? It means you really want to help someone in their need and not just stopping with feeling […]
Proverbs 16:2: All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the Lord weigheth the spirits. Man thinks that all his ways are perfect and clean before God. When God weighs the hearts of men, he finds them short of His standards. A man thinks that all what he does is […]
Psalm 27:3: Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. David was a king chosen by God and yet until the death of Saul, he had to be on the run for his dear life hiding in caves being […]
