devotion 

compassion

The combination of great power and great restraint is well-know in civilized life and in the laws of nature.  The fire that warms the room when properly regulated, will, if abused, reduce the proudest palaces to ashes.  The river, which softens and refreshes the landscape, if allowed to escape its bands, can devastate the most fruitful fields. 

In pointing out the terribleness of God, I do not appeal to fear . . . We do not say, ”Be good, or God will crush you.”  That is not virtue, that is not liberty - - it is vice put on its good behavior.  It is iniquity with a sword suspended or its head. 

The great truth to be learned is that all the terribleness of God is the good man’s security.  When the good man sees God wasting the mountains and the hills and drying up the rivers, he does no say “I must worship him or he will destroy me.”  He says, “The beneficent side of that power is all mine.  Because of that power I and safe.  The very lightning is my guardian, and in the whirlwind I hear a pledge of benediction.” Joseph Parker

Facts from the Bible 

WHY IS THE BIBLE CALLED “The Bible”? 

The word comes from the Greek “Byblos”, the name of the city in Phoenicia which produced papyrus, the first paper, for the Greeks. 

The work “biblia” was then coined to describe little books, and since the Scriptures are essentially that  - a collection of little books - the word Bible was used to describe them. 

February Poem 

Live Each Day for God 

Don’t fret about tomorrow

Or live in yesterday.

Concern yourself with current things

And do your best today.

Tomorrow lies beyond the stars,

Beyond the sleeping sun,

And yesterday lies in the past

And cannot be undone.

Live life in the present tense

And wisely spend your time,

For time is such a precious things

You dare not waste a dime.

Set your sights on a worthy goal

And choose the path you’ll trod.

Your tomorrows will be brighter

When you live each day for God. 

Clay  Harrison 

Seek ye first the kingdom of God . . .

weakness

I distinctly remember the day when I left home to face lived, amid its crowned ways, for my self.  My father, whose philosophy was certainly that of the Hebrew wisdom, gave me (Proverbs 3:5-6) as providing complete guide to life.  All such failure, such turnings aside, such wanderings, have resulted from leaning to one’s own understanding.  The measure in which I have trusted Jehovah, and acknowledged him, has been measure of walking in the paths of real life.  Doubt of God, pride of intellect, and independence in volition, these are the things which blight and blast.  Paths chosen for us by God all lead onward and upward, even when they seem to us to turn about in inextricable confusion, and to move downward to the valleys of humiliation and suffering.  He is the SLL-WISE, and to him, wisdom is the way by which love gains his victory

Great is God’s Mercy 

Great and merciful is our Lord,

  A gracious god is He;

His mercies are new every morning,

  They’re there for you and me.

So often we fail our Saviour

  As onward through life we go

But if we will ask Him for mercy

  Mercy to us He’ll show.  

God says He is rich in mercy

  And mercy so oft’ we need.

Toward each and all those

  Who fear Him.

His mercy is great, indeed.

“Twas according to His mercy

He saved us, made us new;

  Since merciful is our Father,

May we be merciful, too.

start reading your bible

I want to start my 5 year out by encouraging any body who haven’t been reading their Bible daily start today; don’t want another moment.  The Bible: the more your read it, the more you love it; the more you love it, the more your read it (From Daily Bread December 31, 2001).   

I read in the Daily Bread someone summarized 2 Timothy 3:16 by saying:  “God’s Word shows us which road to take (doctrine).  It tells us when we get off track (reproof) how to get back on (correction); and how to stay on (instruction in righteousness).” 

God’s Word is a precious gift. So let’s read it through this coming year. –DCM 

The Bible is a lamp from God,

A sword of truth and light;

It searches heart and soul and mind,

And helps us know what’s right.  –Bosch 

So start today by setting a certain time of day to read the Bible; it will bless your heart. If you thinking about reading the Bible through in a year check out my website Read The Bible Online ;it has information on it to help you read your Bible in a year. 

Have a blessed month.

God’s Love 

How matchless is God’s

Wondrous love.

It’s higher than the

Sky above,

It’s deeper than the deepest sea

And lasts through all eternity.  

No limitations has

God’s love,

So full His storehouse

Up above.

God’s love can span

A boundless chart,

And yet I hold it in my hear.

strength 

    He was crucified through weakness” (2 Corinthians 13:14).  Jesus Christ represents God limiting his own power for one purpose:  He died for the weak, for the ungodly, for sinners, and for no one else.  “I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance” (Luke 5:32) 

    The “strong man” idea is the one that appeals to men, the strong man physically, morally, strong in every way; the kingdoms of men are to be founded on strong men and the weakest are to go to the  wall.  History proves, however, that is the strongest that to the wall, not the weakest.  

    In all trade and commerce there is oppression, and we try to justify it b saying that the weakest must go to the wall.  But is that so?  Where are the mighty civilizations of other days?  Where are the prehistoric animals, those colossal powerful creatures?  It is they that have gone to the wall.  The great blunder in kingdoms among men is that we will demand strong men is that we will demand strong men, consequently each kingdom in its turn goes to the wall because non chain is stronger than its weakest link.

facts from the Bible 

What was the greatest love in the Old Testament? 

  That would have to have been Jacob’s love for Rachel. 

  According to Genesis 29, he fell in love with this daughter of Laban and agreed to work for her father for seven years in order to win her hand. 

  But at the end of the seven years, Laban tricked Jacob into marrying Rachel’s older sister Leah 

  In order to win Rachel, Jacob agreed to another seven years of servitude – though the second seven years “seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her” (Genesis 29:20) 

  Rachel bore, Jacob two sons : Joseph and Benjamin.  She died giving birth to the latter (Genesis 35:18 

Poem 

Have No Fear

  God only seems afar off

When troubles’ round you press.

  You’re only blinded by your fears

But He’s still there to bless. 

  You only thin God is no near;

And prayers you pray unheard.

  You’ll find His ever-present love,

  When you read His Holy Word. 

  He’s help in time of trouble,

And a friend for just a prayer.

  God is waiting patiently;

And He’s always, always, there!
