We look and yearn and feel after eternity,if we might chance upon a taste of that which is so glorious;if that blessed confidence might be struck to us as flesh upon the bone,and our hearts be found true and pure,meekly waiting beneath our master's table for one crumb of His word. So let us be …

A Higher Motive for Blessing
"Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word." [Psa 119:17] How many times do we ask for blessings in our lives simply to make them easier? Simply to have some sort of pleasure or benefit that is not necessarily spiritual? How many prayers for blessing are not prayed in order …
Walking in The Way
"Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of The LORD." [Psalms 119:1] Blessed are those who are in the path of God's word, who follow that way. What a wonderful statement this is! Yes, we may slip from time to time or lose the path, but what path are we …

Avoid the World’s Hire
When trouble comes, to our lives or to our nation, what we have hired out of the world isn't going to help us. Everything that we have bought or put effort into in an attempt to remain safe, healthy, happy, wealthy, etc… those things will be like, as The LORD points out through Jeremiah, "bullocks …
