Isaiah 59:1-3 ESV
“Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save,
or his ear dull, that it cannot hear;
but your iniquities have made a separation
between you and your God,
and your sins have hidden his face from you
so that he does not hear.
For your hands are...
Ezekiel 2:1-5 ESV
And he said to me, “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.” And as he spoke to me, the Spirit entered into me and set me on my feet, and I heard him speaking to me. And he said to me, “Son of man, I send you to the people of Israel, to nations of rebels...
Proverbs 14:2, 5, 25 ESV
A faithful witness is not just a singular individual giving a witness to something. A faithful witness is the true gospel of our salvation from sin, the whole counsel of God. For it teaches us to walk in uprightness and holiness and in the fear of the Lord. And it...
1 Peter 5:1-4 ESV
A shepherd of the sheep, in a spiritual sense, is a person who cares for and who protects the Lord’s sheep, i.e. Jesus’ true followers (disciples). And the Lord’s true sheep are those who listen to him, who heed what he says, and they follow (obey) him (John 10:27). And these...
1 Chronicles 16:23-29 ESV
Jesus Christ is God, the second person of our triune God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He was with God in the beginning, and he is God, and he is our creator God. He made us. And God the Father sent his Son Jesus Christ to the earth to be born of a human mother yet...
Time will tell if you be true,
If words you speak are genuine.
Time will tell if thoughts you think
Are pure in heart and disciplined.
Time will tell if you profess
What is the truth, and sins confess,
Or if you lie and cover up
The lusts of flesh o’er you obsess.
Time will tell if plans you...
Matthew 16:5-12 ESV
Brainwashing
There is an old secular (non-Christian) song by Malvina Reynolds titled, “Little Boxes.” The lyrics speak of housing neighborhoods where the houses are “ticky-tacky,” i.e. they are all made of the same inferior or cheap material. They are cheaply built and...
Psalms 90:1-2 ESV
To be “in Christ” means that we dwell in him and he dwells in us. But this doesn’t happen upon a mere profession of faith in Jesus Christ. The Scriptures teach us that to love God is to obey him. For God dwells in those of us who live according to his commandments (New...
Jeremiah 6:10 ESV
In the year 2022 here in America, sadly this describes perhaps the majority of people calling themselves Christians and children of God. For so many of them have bought into a diluted gospel message which tells them that they can “believe” (usually not defined) in Jesus...
Proverbs 15:3 ESV
The Lord knows what is going on, even if we don’t. He sees behind closed doors and he hears private conversations and he can see what is being viewed on the internet by all of us. He knows who is telling the truth and who is lying. He knows who is at fault and who isn’t. We...
Psalms 100 ESV
My parents were both singers. They had beautiful voices in their younger years. My mother played the piano beautifully. We used to sing the hymns all the time, at the gatherings of the church, at home, on car rides, and sitting on the porch with neighbor children singing...
Hebrews 10:26-31 ESV
With a True Heart
These words are addressed to Christians and to professing Christians. And right before these words were spoken there was an exhortation given to draw near to God with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil...
I’m thankful for the cross of Christ
Where Jesus died for me
So I could die with Him to sin
And live eternally
I’m thankful that He cared for me
And called me to be His
So I could serve Him with my life
And do all that He says
I’m thankful that He’s chosen me
To serve Him in this way
So I can...
Psalms 101:1 NASB
It is good, if possible, if we can use Bible study helps like Bible Gateway and Bible Hub, which are both on the internet, mainly because the English translations of the Bible do not always do justice to the original text. But we should never use these in place of the Holy...
2 Corinthians 3:16-18 ESV
Prior to us surrendering our lives to Jesus Christ and repenting of our sins and turning to the Lord to walk in obedience to his commands, we were all in a state of spiritual blindness, symbolized here by a veil. We were not able to enter into the presence of Almighty...
Colossians 1:9-14 ESV
These words are addressed to the saints and to the faithful Christians. And the saints are all those who have died with Christ to sin and who have been raised with Christ to walk in newness of life in him, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. We are...
Psalms 1:1-2 ESV
As followers of Jesus Christ we are no longer to be those who are following after the ways of the flesh and the ways of man and the ways of the world. We are to get our counsel and our instructions from God and not from the world. We are to follow after the wisdom of God and...

Proverbs 13:12 NASB
As I contemplated the meaning of this proverb, and as I prayed for understanding, there were two main “deferred hopes” that came to mind. The first one is the hope of salvation for my loved ones who have not yet surrendered their lives to Jesus Christ. They are...
1 Thessalonians 5:1-3 ESV
We Who Believe in Jesus
When we believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of our lives, and if our faith is genuine God-given faith, and not of ourselves, then we are crucified with Christ in death to sin and we are resurrected with Christ to walk (in conduct, in...

Psalms 16:7-11 ESV
I work for the Lord full-time. So he often gets me up in the night to counsel me or to have me pray for someone or to have me write a devotion or a poem or to record a video talk. And I realize that not everyone has that freedom of schedule to be up long in the...
