During The Day of The LORD, no amount of wealth will be able to help. No one will have a store of food large enough, a shelter deep enough, wealth vast enough. In fact, God says that money will do absolutely no good in the Day, "when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth." [Isa …

Intimate In Distress
Sometimes it can appear as if Jesus is far away. Perhaps He has forgotten of us, perhaps He doesn't care, perhaps He's too busy. Sometimes it can appear as if Jesus is a God far off, and not near. But in fact, Jesus is just the opposite: God is just the opposite, for it is …
Secure With the Shepherd
In the prophecy of Micah, God gives us a wonderful glimpse of Jesus as our shepherd. The LORD speaks of Him which is to be "ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting," declaring, "And He shall stand and pasture [His flock] in the strength of The LORD, in the …
Pursued by Him
To those who trust in The LORD, He will be a stronghold in the day of trouble, in the day when God "ariseth to shake terribly the earth." But to those who do not trust in The LORD for salvation, through Jesus His Son, darkness shall pursue them. Nahum says, "The LORD is good, a …

Refuge Under The Skirt of Christ
The true story of Ruth and Boaz is a great picture of Jesus and His bride, the Church. One of the most important lessons I think we can learn from it is our great need to come under the "skirt" of Jesus. Just like Ruth did with Boaz, we must do the same with Jesus. …
Redeemed Through Judgment
Jesus redeems us by God's judgement on him. The cup which Jesus drank, praying, "let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt" was the very wrath of God we deserved for our sins. Our offences against a holy God were cast upon His Son, "whom God hath set …
Forgiveness Brings Knowledge
Because Jesus has died for our sins, resurrected, and given us the ability to be forgiven through faith, we can know The LORD. Though one might think they can know God through reading about Him or meditating upon spiritual matters: true knowledge of God comes only through Jesus and faith in Him. Intimate knowledge of …
Thinking Upon The LORD
There is a really interesting passage in the Old Testament, which speaks about a certain book called "the book of remembrance;" it reads, "Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the …
Two Sides of the Sun
Jesus is a Sun; The Sun! And if we come to Him before The Day of Judgment, "The Day of Vengeance of our God," we will not be smitten of Him. But to those who refuse Jesus, to give up their lives and follow Him, they will be scorched by the judgment of God. Though …
