Yesterday's Prophecy, Today's News

The Bible declares, “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23 KJV). Because of sin, none of us can pay the price to enter heaven. Regardless of how many “good” works we do, we are still sinners by birth, unable to merit God’s favor. We have come short of God’s righteous standards. Thus, in order to enter heaven, we need God’s righteousness. The good news is that, through the finished crosswork of Jesus Christ on Calvary, we can be made “the righteousness of God in Christ” (2 Corinthians 5:21 KJV). We can receive God’s …

MY Master has riches beyond the count of arithmetic, the measurement of reason, the dream of imagination, or the eloquence of words. They are unsearchable! You may look, and study, and weigh, but Jesus is a greater Saviour than you think Him to be when your thoughts are at the greatest. My Lord is more ready to pardon than you to sin, more able to forgive than you to transgress. My Master is more willing to supply your wants than you are to confess them. Never tolerate low thoughts of my Lord Jesus. When you put the crown on His …

Other occasions in Scripture have been given where humans did not believe a prophecy regarding the coming of a child. Remember what Elisha said to the Shunammite woman ‘At this season, when the time cometh round, thou shalt embrace a son.’ And she said to him: ‘ Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thy handmaid (II Kings 4: 16). She too did not believe Elisha God’s prophet when he made this prophecy. But at the appointed time the child did arrive (II Kings 4: 17). The promised son was born when Abraham was a hundred …

Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord (Psalm 31:24, Isaiah 40:29-31, Isaiah 41:10) Wait upon the Lord, we will wait upon the Lord (Psalm 27:14, Psalm 130:5-6, Proverbs 20:22, Isaiah 8:17) Our God, You reign forever (Exodus 15:18, Psalm 146:10, Lamentations 5:19, Revelation 11:15) Our hope, our strong deliverer (Psalm 18:2, Psalm 56:13, Psalm 144:2, Jeremiah 14:22, 2 Corinthians 1:10, 1 Timothy 4:10, Hebrews 10:23) You are the everlasting God The everlasting God You do not faint You won’t grow weary (Genesis 21:33, Psalm 121:4, Isaiah 40:28) You’re the defender of the weak (Psalm 12:5, Psalm 18:2-3, Psalm …

  Snow that fell so softly in the night changed earth’s soot to white in glistening loveliness. Forgiveness like soft snow gently cover the soil and lo ugliness is beauty! Lucille Gardner God is committed to forgiving sin so thoroughly that He will put it out of His mind., out of remembrance, and out of sight. This is a great truth to grasp. God says in the Bible, “I, even I, am the one who wipes out your transgressions for My own sake; and I will not remember your sins” (Isaiah 43:25 Heb. 8:12; 10:17). God chooses not to remember …

Esther 8:15–17 15 Then Mordecai left the king’s presence, wearing the royal robe of blue and white, the great crown of gold, and an outer cloak of fine linen and purple. And the people of Susa celebrated the new decree. 16 The Jews were filled with joy and gladness and were honored everywhere. 17 In every province and city, wherever the king’s decree arrived, the Jews rejoiced and had a great celebration and declared a public festival and holiday. And many of the people of the land became Jews themselves, for they feared what the Jews might do to them. Breaking …

2 Corinthians 12:9 9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. It is those who, most conscious of their own weakness, exercise the greatest faith in the Lord as their strength, who open a way for the Lord to make the greatest measure of that strength manifest in them. The hindrance to the Lord’s strength in us is our own strength, so often. The way for His strength is our …

Satan Tried To Stop Messiah From Arriving As we celebrate the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ to this earth it is important that we become aware of the intense heavenly struggles that took place to block His arrival. Satan has made many attempts to stop our Lord from arriving on earth as a man to accomplish His task. Christ delivered us from Satan’s slavery to living freedom when we believe in Him as our savior. The measure of the wealth of God’s unmerited favor to every believer is the cost of Christ’s blood. It was accomplished not “out of” …

  JESUS was the Lord High Admiral of the sea that night, and His presence preserved the whole convoy. It is well to sail with Jesus, even though it be in a little ship. When we sail in Christ’s company, we may not make sure of fair weather, for great storms may toss the vessel which carries the Lord Himself, and we must not expect to find the sea less boisterous around our little boat. If we go with Jesus we must be content to fare as He fares; and when the waves are rough to Him, they will be …

Esther 8:9–14 9 Then were the king’s scribes called at that time in the third month, that is, the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the deputies and rulers of the provinces which are from India unto Ethiopia, an hundred twenty and seven provinces, unto every province according to the writing thereof, and unto every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language. 10 And he wrote in the king …

Matthew 18:3 “And Jesus said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.’”  _____________________________________________________________ There is on record, an eyewitness account of an event that took place with a man who had been blind from birth. The scenario, to some degree, could have been something like what we all have experienced. Present was a man, obviously impaired by the fact that he could not see – he was totally blind. For those who can see, there is a temptation to immediately help. We think …

Gerar was near the coast about 12 miles south of Gaza and about 50 miles south of Hebron, in the land of the Philistines (Genesis 21:34). So Gerar is located in the Gaza Strip, which has historically been the domain of the Philistines. They were from the line of Ham (Noah’s second son) while Abraham was from the line of Shem (Noah’s first and most righteous son. Abraham tells the king of Gerar that Sarah is his sister, a half-truth at best and really just another lie. The last time he did that (Genesis 12) he sought to protect himself from …
