They Will Fly Again!
Isaiah 40:31 “They who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.” Over the last year, the issue of suffering and death have been front and center in my life. I’ve lost a brother-in-law and an aunt…

Perfect Peace!
Isaiah 26:3 “You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.” I read something this morning from the late Samuel Brengle that helped me understand just a little bit more what the wonderful verse above is telling us. Samuel Brengle was a commissioner in the Salvation Army…

When the Roll is Called Up Yonder
Isaiah 53:12 “He poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors.” I was reading from C.H.

Inner Peace
Isaiah 26:3 “You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.” One of the great benefits of the Bible is that it exposes what’s going on inside of us. We have mirrors which enable us to look at our outsides, and while the look on our face…

Will the Trouble Never End?
Isaiah 40:25-31 “Why do you say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, ‘My way is hidden from the Lord, and my right is disregarded by my God’? Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; His understanding is…

For the Glory of God
Isaiah 6:3 “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!” Typically, when I read the verse above, my mind goes to the Creation. How can anyone look around them at the mountains of Pennsylvania in the fall of year and not see the glorious brush strokes of our awesome…

The Unshakeable Fortress
Isaiah 49:16 “. . . your walls are continually before me.” Psalm 62:2 “He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken.” In ancient cities, people relied on great walls for protection. They trusted in them. They served as a fortress. People believed they were safe as long…
