    Unexpected

    "However the LORD God of Israel chose me above all the house of my father to be king over Israel forever, for He has chosen Judah [to be] the ruler. And of the house of Judah, the house of my father, and among the sons of my father, He was pleased with me to make [me] king over all Israel. "And...

    Teamwork

    Obil the Ishmaelite [was] over the camels, Jehdeiah the Meronothite [was] over the donkeys, 1 Chronicles 27:30 NKJV Obil and Jehdeiah were King David’s logistics directors. They oversaw the official “truck fleet” of ancient Israel, undoubtedly managing a large team of drivers. The two are among...

    Move On

    But some became stubborn, rejecting his message and publicly speaking against the Way. So Paul left the synagogue and took the believers with him. Then he held daily discussions at the lecture hall of Tyrannus. Acts 19:9 NLT No surprise here: Jesus was right when He said, “In this world you...

    You’re Surrounded!

    Now the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, "Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not keep silent; "for I am with you, and no one will attack you to hurt you; for I have many people in this city." Acts 18:9-10 NKJV Ever feel like you’re surrounded by troubled, troublesome people? In...

    God Will Do What Is Good

    "Be of good courage, and let us be strong for our people and for the cities of our God. And may the LORD do [what is] good in His sight." 1 Chronicles 19:13 NKJV The unsaved world often describes Christianity as a crutch…in their view, faith is simply something that weak people use as a prop...

    Doing vs. Being

     ‘Furthermore, I declare to you that the LORD himself will build a house for you. 1 Chronicles 17:10 CSB On the whole, men are doers. We like to accomplish things—for ourselves, our loved ones, our communities and churches. God made us to work like our ancestor Adam: “The LORD God took the man...

    Take A Stand

    Then Phinehas stood up and intervened, And the plague was stopped. Psalm 106:30 NKJV Psalm 106 recounts a particularly grievous event in the history of ancient Israel. Between the time prophet-for-hire Balaam blessed rather than cursed the Israelites (Numbers 22-24) and the people prepared to...

    “But His Father…”

    Paul went on to Derbe and Lystra, where there was a disciple named Timothy, the son of a believing Jewish woman, but his father was a Greek. Acts 16:1 CSB Here is Timothy’s biblical debut. The man who would become the apostle Paul’s “dearly loved and faithful son in the Lord” (1 Corinthians...

    Even So

    Our ancestors in Egypt were not impressed by the LORD's miraculous deeds. They soon forgot his many acts of kindness to them. Instead, they rebelled against him at the Red Sea. Even so, he saved them--to defend the honor of his name and to demonstrate his mighty power. Psalm 106:7-8 NLT Have...

    Never Stop At One Verse

    And certain [men] came down from Judea and taught the brethren, "Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved." Acts 15:1 NKJV Does today’s scripture “feel funny” to you? It should, as it contradicts the biblical message of salvation by grace alone. The...

    You’ve Been Warned

    Confirming the souls of the disciples, [and] exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. Acts 14:22 KJV Dishonest sellers have long used the “bait and switch,” a technique that draws customers in with the promise of a great...

    Man’s Passions, God’s Heart

    These were all David's sons, with their sister Tamar, in addition to the sons by his concubines. 1 Chronicles 3:9 CSB David was a bundle of contradictions. The man who composed powerful worship psalms also collected women like so many pretty stones. The heroic slayer of Goliath also schemed...

    God is Patient

    "Now for a time of about forty years He put up with their ways in the wilderness. Acts 13:18 NKJV The “he” in today’s scripture is God. “their” refers to the ancient Israelites who had just escaped slavery in Egypt. “ways” includes whining, complaining, and outright rebellion. God “put up”...

    Justice is Served

    Then immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give glory to God. And he was eaten by worms and died. Acts 12:23 NKJV Some scriptures just bring out a man’s inner eight-year-old. Eww, gross! We think, with a gleam in our eyes. Death by flesh-eating worms is some of the...

    You Can Break The Pattern

    Now before him there was no king like him, who turned to the LORD with all his heart, with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the Law of Moses; nor after him did [any] arise like him. 2 Kings 23:25 NKJV Today’s scripture summarizes the life of Judah’s King Josiah. The...

    Dependence Day

    Here is the sea, vast and wide, teeming with creatures beyond number -- living things both large and small. ...All of them wait for you to give them their food at the right time. Psalm 104:25, 27 CSB On July 4, 1776, the thirteen American colonies declared their independence from England. What...

    No Fear Necessary

    "Thus you shall speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying: 'Do not let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, "Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria." 'Look! You have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands by utterly destroying them; and shall...

    End of the World?

    You placed the world on its foundation so it would never be moved. ...Then you set a firm boundary for the seas, so they would never again cover the earth. Psalm 104:5, 9 NLT We hear dire predictions of our planet’s demise due to climate change. Some of us, though, can remember terrifying...

    No Lost Causes

    So when he had received food, he was strengthened. Then Saul spent some days with the disciples at Damascus. Immediately he preached the Christ in the synagogues, that He is the Son of God. Then all who heard were amazed, and said, "Is this not he who destroyed those who called on this name in...
