For Reading and Meditation:     Isaiah 11:1-9

Yesterday we said that envy is born out of two things: ignorance and making wrong comparisons. Having seen how a wrong comparison can produce envy, we focus now on ignorance. How can ignorance give rise to envy? Far too often our judgments of people are based only on what we see, and we fail to take into account other...

For Reading and Meditation:     Psalm 36:1-12

How wonderful it is, in an age where unfaithfulness abounds, to focus our gaze on those Scriptures that point to the trustworthiness of our God. The one before us today is quite wonderful, but consider also these: "O Lord God Almighty, who is like you? You are mighty, O Lord, and your faithfulness surrounds you" (

For Reading and Meditation:     Deuteronomy 7:7-20

We move on now to consider another aspect of God's character - His abiding faithfulness. God is utterly trustworthy in all He says and does, and this is the rock-bottom reality on which everything in the universe depends. In an age when so much unfaithfulness abounds, how good it is to realize that we have One who...

For Reading and Meditation:     Psalm 99:1-9

"No one can know the true grace of God," said the great Bible teacher A. W. Tozer, "who has not first known the fear of God." He continued: "Always there was about any manifestation of God something that dismayed the onlookers, that daunted and overawed them – I do not believe any lasting good can come from religious...

For Reading and Meditation:     Matthew 8:18-34

Have you ever wondered why Jesus is never referred to as Jesus the Great? We speak of Alexander the Great, Charles the Great, and Peter the Great but never Jesus the Great. And why? Because He dwells in a sphere where no real comparisons are possible. It simply doesn't seem right to use the designation "the Great" of...

Why was Christ chosen out of the people? Speak, my heart, for heart-thoughts are best. Was it not that he might be able to be our brother, in the blest tie of kindred blood? Oh, what relationship there is between Christ and the believer! The believer can say, "I have a Brother in heaven; I may be poor, but I have a Brother who is rich, and is a King, and will he suffer me to want while he is on his throne? Oh, no! He loves me; he is my Brother. " Believer, wear this blessed thought, like a...

Blessed are they to whom the gospel is proclaimed; that is, a blessing is put within their reach. But especially, essentially blessed are they who know it as glad tidings of great joy.

One land is blessed with great fruitfulness; another with great mineralogical treasures; another by its geographical situation, favorable for commerce. One nation has a liberal government; another an admirable system of education. One country has numerous and exquisite remains of ancient art; another...

" Forty centuries look upon you," said Bonaparte to his soldiers, pointing to the pyramids. Compared with the ordinary structures of man, these are immense, massive, enduring. Yet all the monuments of men are built upon leased ground, and with borrowed materials. They must vanish away. Another monument is to be reared; a monument to the mercy of God. Nothing less than the entire length and breadth of the earth will suffice for its foundation. Even the sea must be dried up to make room for...

Ever bestowed, never exhausted. The vessel that contains it is one that can never be emptied. God himself is a vessel of mercy to communicate mercy to me; and I am a vessel of mercy to receive that mercy. To say that God will keep mercy is to say that God will keep himself. There is mercy in him and I am its object. Mercy first makes me an appropriate object for itself, and ever after keeps me so. I can say to my soul, " Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years: laid up too in a...

No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him. § [Jesus is] the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person. § The god of this age has blinded [their minds], who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.Make Your face shine upon Your servant; save me for Your mercies’ sake. Do not let me be ashamed, O Lord, for I have called upon...
