Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.” Isaiah 1:18 “Come now, and let us reason together,” Says the LORD, “Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be […]
There is a rather surprising statement, made in the book of Genesis, concerning God’s ability to remember. It occurs just after Noah and his family came out of the ark. In Genesis 9:13-16, God said—“I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. “It

Joshua 3:11-13 “Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth is crossing over before you into the Jordan . “Now therefore, take for yourselves twelve men from the tribes of Israel , one man from every tribe. “And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests who

That must have been a great comfort to David when he wrote Psalm 139:8-10— “If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the

Please turn with me to Exodus 12:5-8 where we see God’s instructions concerning the Passover. “Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats. ‘Now you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month. Then the whole assembly of the
