“I will not eat until I have told my errand.” (Gen. 24:33) Just as Abraham’s servant had a sense of urgency in connection with his mission, so should we.

“I dwell among mine own people.” (2 Kings 4:13) A prominent woman in Shunam showed hospitality to Elisha whenever he passed that way.

“For the equipping of the saints for the work of service,” (Eph. 4:12, NASB) A revolutionary insight! The gifts in Ephesians 4 are given to perfect the saints for the work of the ministry.

“A wise man will hear.” (Prov. 1:5) The essential difference between the wise man and the fool in the book of Proverbs is that the wise man will hear and the fool won’t.

“Adam…begat a son in his own likeness, after his image.” (Gen. 5:3) It is a basic fact of physical life that we beget children in our own likeness, after our image.

“According to your faith be it unto you.” (Mt. 9:29) When Jesus asked two blind men if they believed that He was able to give them sight, they replied that they did.

“How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?” (John 5:44) By these words our Lord indicates that we cannot at the same time seek man’s approbation and the approval of God.

“But God hath chosen…the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty.” (1 Cor. 1:27) If a carpenter can take waste, scrap lumber and make a splendid piece of furniture out of it, it brings more credit to him than if he uses only the finest of materials.

“He will destroy them…so that you may drive them out and destroy them.” (Deut. 9:3 NASB) In all of God’s dealings with mankind, there is a curious merging of the divine and the human.

FEBRUARY 29 - One Day at a Time
“Jesus Christ…is Lord of all “(Acts 10:36) One of the great themes of the New Testament is the lordship of Jesus Christ. Over and over we are reminded that He is Lord and that we should give Him that place in our lives. To crown Jesus as Lord means to surrender our lives to Him. It means to have no ... Read More

“I know that Thou canst do all things, and that no purpose of Thine can be thwarted.” Job 42:2 NASB) No purpose of God can be thwarted. Man may have his wickedness, but God has His way.

“Be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” (James 1:22) There is a subtle deception that attending meetings, conferences and seminars is doing the work of God.

FEBRUARY 7 - One Day at a Time
“I have been crucified with Christ.” (Gal. 2:20 NASB) When the Lord Jesus died on the Cross, He died not only as my Substitute; He died also as my Representative. He died not only for me but as me.

“He that is not against us is for us.” (Luke 9:49, 50) At first this seems to flatly contradict our previous verse, but there is no contradiction. There the Savior was speaking to the unbelieving Pharisees and saying, “If you aren’t for Me, you’re against Me.” But here it is a different matter. The ... Read More

Forsaking All
“So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple” (Luke 14:33). To be a disciple of the Lord Jesus, one must forsake all.
