Wonderful Benefits
1 John 1:7 “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.” Two of the most wonderful benefits of knowing and living for Christ are shown in the verse above. One is the wonderful benefit…

Bearing spiritual fruit
Galatians 5:22 – 23 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” The fruit of the Spirit should be manifested in every Christians’ life. So, if you are a Christian, is it these things that describe you? Or do you…

The very best things
Leviticus 3:16 “The priest shall burn them on the altar as a food offering, a pleasing aroma. All the fat is the Lord’s.” Have you ever wondered what in the world the verse above is all about? I have. Then one day it dawned on me that in Hebrew, “the fat” also means “the best…

Wonderful unity
Psalm 133:1 “Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity!” One of the things that is constantly in the news today is the divisions that are so evident in the U.S.A. No matter where we look, there is discord: division between races, division between political parties, divisions in families, divisions between genders,…

The believer’s hope
Psalm 121:7-8 “The Lord will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life. The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore.” One of the greatest blessings of the believer is his or her joyful anticipation of the future. Isn’t it so often that the fear of the future robs people of…

The overcomers
John 16:33 “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” Jesus gave us His Word that we might have peace – in this world – in spite of inevitable tribulation – in this world. This peace was possible because…

Loving the law
Psalm 119:165 “Great peace have those who love your law; nothing can make them stumble.” Are there any laws that you absolutely love? How about the speed limit? Don’t you just “love” it, especially when you’re late for work? How about the tax laws? Aren’t they fun? Or maybe it’s the fishing laws? Don’t you love…

The source of great peace
Psalm 119:165 “Great peace have those who love your law; nothing can make them stumble.” What’s better – anxiety, fear, depression, turmoil – or GREAT PEACE? What’s the key to the latter? It’s loving the law of God, i.e., the Word of God, the Bible. That’s what we’re told in the verse above. So, what…

Order
Numbers 2:34 “Thus did the people of Israel. According to all that the Lord commanded Moses, so they camped by their standards, and so they set out, each one in his clan, according to his fathers’ house.” 1 Corinthians 14:33 “For God is not a God of confusion but of peace.” It is interesting to…

Seeing wonders
Psalm 119:18 “Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law.” This is one of my favorite verses. God’s law, His Word, the Bible, is filled with wondrous things; but if God doesn’t open our eyes to them, we will miss them. They are things that are more precious than gold,…
