Psalms

Remember: God is Faithful to all who come to Him.

Remember!  That God delivered you!

Moses said to the fleeing people, remember this night, this time in your life.  When you left Egypt, when you went out from slavery by the LORD’S powerful hand.  Remember this day.  Exodus 13:3   Today we are also to remember the day when God delivered us from the bondage of slavery of sin, Satan and […]

No Backing Down

After many plagues, eight in fact, Pharaoh did not change his mind, he would not let the sons of Israel, his slaves, go to worship God.  Exodus 7:14-10:20   Without a word to Pharaoh, God sent a thick darkness to cover Egypt, except for the land of Goshen, for three days.  The slaves had light, no […]

Contrite hearts are always heard by God.

Contrite means sorrow: to mourn due to sin in our lives.   Shouldn’t we all be contrite when we know we need to confess our sins in prayer to God? Psalm 51:17 Paraphrased prayer   Lord, God of the Bible, Your word is truth.  You know all about me.  I come to give to You the sacrifice […]

!Frogs!

The next judgment against Egypt: frogs!  Frogs everywhere!  In the houses, in the kitchens, in the bedrooms… frogs, frogs, and more frogs.  Ugh!   The LORD sent Moses and Aaron into Pharaoh’s presence, again.  “Let My people go, that they may serve Me.”   Of course, Pharaoh refused to let his slaves go.  Aaron again stretched […]

Hard Hearts ~ Do not listen!

Age doesn’t make a heart harden… attitude and unbelief in God hardens hearts.  No matter your age, unbelief will set your mind against God.  Pharaoh did not believe in the living God.  He believed in the many gods of Egypt.   Today, choosing unbelief is still rejecting God and hardening hearts.     The LORD knew Pharaoh […]

Frustrations with People and Situations!

Moses and Pharaoh were frustrated with each other.  Moses and Aaron (his brother and spokesman) met with Pharaoh.  They told Pharaoh what God said, “Let My people go that they may celebrate a feast to Me in the wilderness.” People frustrated with each other. Pharaoh refused!  He didn’t know this God they were talking about, “besides, […]

What?  You want me to do what…?

Moses was minding his own business, herding sheep in the wilderness.  He saw a bush burning, but not being reduced to ashes.  Curious, he went over to look.  Sure enough that was a real fire, flaming brightly.   The LORD spoke from the middle of that fire.  He said to Moses – I have heard the […]

 Grow in your knowledge of who God IS!

Death of a saint

Jacob was dying.  He summoned his 12 sons to bless them.     Reuben – first born – he had uncontrolled passions, he had bedded his father’s concubine, not good!   Simeon & Levi – they were violent men, self-willed and would be scattered throughout Israel.  [Levi was the priestly tribe, and they were scattered throughout the nation […]
