GOD’S WISDOM FOR YOU PROVERBS 29:13-16 13 The poor man and the one who oppresses meet each other here: They both have sight in their eyes from the LORD. No matter who we are, no matter whether I am a poor man or the sort of man who oppresses the poor and grinds […]

GOD’S WISDOM FOR YOU PROVERBS 29:9-12 9 If a wise man goes to court with a fool, the fool either rages or laughs, but there is no peace. This is a common theme in Proverbs. There is little hope of reasoning with a fool, and especially in court. Jesus warned, “Do not throw […]
God’s Wisdom for You – Proverbs 29:5-8 Faith that shows itself
GOD’S WISDOM FOR YOU PROVERBS 29:5-8 5 A man who flatters his neighbor is spreading a net for his feet. 6 In the transgression of an evil man there is a trap, but a righteous man will sing and be glad. These two proverbs are probably paired together because they both refer to […]

GOD’S WORD FOR YOU PSALM 96:11-13 11 Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and everything that fills it up. 12 Let the fields be triumphant, and everything that is in them. Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy; 13 […]

GOD’S WORD FOR YOU PSALM 96:7-10 7 Give to the LORD, O families of nations, give to the LORD glory and power. 8 Give to the LORD the glory of his name; bring a gift and come into his courts. In the first verses we had “Sing… sing… sing.” Now we respond to […]
God’s Word for You – Psalm 96:1-6 Petty little gods
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU PSALM 96:1-6 Psalm 96 is one of a handful of “orphan” psalms, with no author and no heading whatsoever. It is included with the fourth group or book of Psalms, poems that especially recall the exodus and the years in the wilderness when the people were led by Moses (Psalms 90-106). […]

GOD’S WORD FOR YOU ACTS 21:15-16 15 After those days we packed up and went up to Jerusalem. 16 Some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us and brought us to be the guests of Mnason of Cyprus. He was one of the early disciples. It’s about seventy miles from Caesarea up over the […]

GOD’S WORD FOR YOU MALACHI 1:9 9 O now, please, plead with God, that he may be gracious to us. With such a gift in your hand, will he show favor to any of you? says the LORD of Armies. Unless we take this to be bitter sarcasm in the mouth of the Lord, we […]
God’s Word for You – Acts 21:9-11 Girls who prophesied
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU ACTS 21:9-11 9 He had four daughters, virgins, who prophesied. There are some who elevate this passage to such heights that they think it contravenes the prohibition against women pastors in Paul’s letters. Paul said both publicly (1 Corinthians 14:33-36) and privately (1 Timothy 2:11-14) that women should not teach or […]
God’s Word for You – Acts 21:4-9 Doggedness
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU ACTS 21:4-8 4 When we found the disciples there, we stayed with them for seven days. Through the Spirit they urged Paul not to go on to Jerusalem. 5 But when our days to re-equip were completed, we left to resume our journey, but all the disciples with their wives and […]
