A stronghold in time of trouble…

Psalm 37:39-40 39 But the salvation of the righteous is from Yahweh. He is their stronghold in the time of trouble. 40 Yahweh helps them, and rescues them. He rescues them from the wicked, and saves them, Because they have taken refuge in him. (WEB) When I think of a stronghold, I think of a massive fortress with huge walls surrounded by a mote. Nothing can penetrate it and once you are inside and it is a place where you feel completely safe and secure. In today’s Bible reading, our God is declared to be our stronghold in the time...

THE ULTIMATE FINANCIAL SECURITY

“Abraham named the site Yahweh-yireh; hence people now say, ‘On the mountain the Lord will see.’ ” –Genesis 22:14 God the Father sees to our needs. He cares for us and gives us our daily bread (Mt 6:11). As His children, we don’t have to worry about what we are to eat, drink, or wear (Mt 6:31). God our Father is a perfect Provider. Therefore, we have complete financial security. However, if we aren’t aware of the perfect providence of God, we may feel obligated to try to take care of ourselves, as if we were Yahweh-Yireh. Of course, we...

BAPTISMAL AWARENESS

“As for the son of the slave woman, I will make a great nation of him also, since he too is your offspring.” –Genesis 21:13 After wandering around in the desert until she ran out of water, Hagar put her child, Ishmael, under a bush and walked a short distance away so she wouldn’t see him die (Gn 21:14-16). When the child began to cry, God sent a messenger to rescue the child and his mother by providing water for them (Gn 21:17-19). The Lord did this because Ishmael was Abraham’s child (Gn 21:13). Abraham was the father of the...

BACK LOT

“Lot’s wife looked back.” –Genesis 19:26 The angels told Lot and his family to flee from Sodom and Gomorrah and not look back (Gn 19:17). “But Lot’s wife looked back, and she was turned into a pillar of salt” (Gn 19:26). Jesus said: “Remember Lot’s wife. Whoever tries to preserve his life will lose it; whoever loses it will keep it” (Lk 17:32-33). By becoming Christians, we have left behind the polluted world (see 2 Pt 2:20) of Sodom and Gomorrah. We have “put on the Lord Jesus Christ” and made “no provision for the desires of the flesh” (Rm...
