Isaiah 55:3

For Reading and Meditation:     Psalm 145:1-20

We ended yesterday by saying that the fact God knows everything ought to strengthen our faith and cause us to bow in adoration before Him. Yet how little do we reflect on this divine perfection. Those who are inclined to rebel against God hate this aspect of His Being and would do away with it if they could. They wish...

For Reading and Meditation:     Isaiah 55:1-13

After seeing in Genesis 1 that God is all-powerful, the next thing we observe about God is that He is personal.But what does it mean to be a person? What predicates personality? The best definition of personality I know is the one given to me by the tutor who taught me...

For Reading and Meditation:     1 Corinthians 2:6-16

We have been seeing that by going "into the sanctuary" - the place where God had made provision to meet with His people - the psalmist has put himself in a position where his perspectives can be changed.

The true life of the soul is in union with God. The souls of men are dead, because they are separated from God.

All the price required has been...

Isaiah 55:1-13

The Bible seeks in every possible way - to make men know the divine love and mercy. A great novelist in one of his stories tells of a child who ran away from her home. Every night when it grew dark a candle was set in the window of the old home and left to burn there all night, that the lost one, if ever she crept back, repentant, desiring to return - might see the light and know that it meant a welcome for her, that...
