    Popular religion speaks about man reaching up to God. However, the reality is that God is reaching down to us. Yes, Christ is stretching out His arms to us upon the Cross.

    THE NEARNESS OF GOD. Isaiah 65:1-9. People sometimes talk about somebody who ‘found God.’ God was never lost; it is people who are lost. When the prodigal son returned to his father, the father said, ‘this my son was lost, but now is found’ (cf. Luke 15:24). Yet, in their distress, ...read more

    We are never alone.

    THE WILDERNESS AND THE CAVE. 1 Kings 19:1-15a. I. The Wilderness of Dissent (1 Kings 19:1-8). It is hard when we stand out in the crowd, but Christians are different. The Bible names us a ‘peculiar people’ - called out of darkness into His marvellous light (1 Peter 2:9). Privileges carry ...read more

    The hand of the LORD shall be known to His servants.

    THE FAITHFUL COMFORTED. Isaiah 66:10-14. This short passage was originally addressed to the faithful remnant within Israel, a nation within a nation if you will, a nation as it were ‘born in a day’ (cf. Isaiah 66:8). ISAIAH 66:10. These were the faithful who kept hope alive, even through ...read more

    What a privilege to be the chosen people of the LORD.

    THE ARRIVAL AT SINAI. Exodus 19:2-8a. EXODUS 19:1-2. The first thing which the children of Israel were expected to do after escaping from Egypt was to make their way to Mount Sinai, as the LORD had instructed Moses (cf. Exodus 3:12). This was not the promised land, that is for sure, but here in ...read more

    The on-going contention between the son of Hagar, and the seed of Sarah

    ISHMAEL. Genesis 21:8-21. The history of Ishmael and Isaac is the history of the struggle between flesh and spirit, between the carnal seed and the spiritual seed, between the world's way and God's way. In the first place, Abraham had faith. The LORD pointed him towards the ...read more

    The LORD will provide Himself a lamb for a burnt offering.

    THE FAITH OF ABRAHAM. Abridged. Genesis 22:1-14. Sometimes in our Christian lives we are challenged to surrender to God that which we hold most dear, that upon which we set our hopes, even that which God has given to us as a gift. God promised Abraham a son, but the patriarch’s wife ...read more

  • How Long?

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,379 views

    A flow from pain through prayer to praise.

    HOW LONG? Psalm 13:1-6. This is a lament, a Psalm of complaint. This is evident from the outset, with the fourfold cry of pain, “How long?” (Psalm 13:1-2). The complaint is addressed first to the LORD (Psalm 13:1), but then seems to descend into something resembling self-pity (Psalm ...read more

  • The Omniscience Of God.

    The response to "The LORD has searched me" (cf. Psalm 139:1) is “Search me and know my thoughts” (Psalm 139:23).

    THE OMNISCIENCE OF GOD. Psalm 139:1-12, Psalm 139:23-24. When we read Psalm 139, sometimes it is hard to tell whether we should read it with a sense of dread: The LORD knows me (PSALM 139:1); He knows everything I am doing (PSALM 139:2); He knows where I am going (PSALM 139:3); He knows my every ...read more

    The multifarious Creation by the One who dwells in impenetrable Light.

    A SONG TO THE GOD OF CREATION. Psalm 104:1-9, Psalm 104:24, Psalm 104:35c. The opening of this Psalm, “Bless the LORD, O my soul” (Psalm 104:1a), is familiar from the beginning of the previous chapter (Psalm 103:1). The response of the Psalmist to his own exhortation to “Bless the ...read more

    The restoration of Job.

    A NEW VISION OF GOD, AND THE RESTORATION OF JOB. Job 42:1-6; Job 42:10-17. The prose narrative bookends of the epic poem which is the Book of Job provide us at either end with the same judgment of Job’s character. Twice in the first two chapters the LORD taunts Satan with the integrity of Job ...read more

    He does not allow our foot to slip.

    A SPACIOUS PLACE. Psalm 66:1-12. The superscription to this Psalm is addressed, “To the chief musician. A Song or Psalm.” Whether sung or spoken, it is a call to all nations to “Make a joyful noise” to God (Psalm 66:1). Which God? Well, compare Psalm 100:1, where YHWH, ‘the LORD’ is named. ...read more

    A Solemn Charge to the Man of God.

    PREACH THE WORD. 2 Timothy 4:1-5. Paul has just given Timothy the assurance that “ALL Scripture is out-breathed by God and is profitable… that the man of God may be” complete, fully equipped for whatever work God has for us (2 Timothy 3:16-17). “I charge you therefore before God,” ...read more

  • Covenant People In The Dock.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,439 views

    When He calls His covenant people to judgment, those bound to Him by sacrifice, it is not necessarily something to strike terror into our hearts: because that covenant is true, and that all-sufficient sacrifice is Jesus.

    COVENANT PEOPLE IN THE DOCK. Psalm 50:1-8, Psalm 50:22-23. “A Psalm of Asaph,” reads the superscription. Asaph was a chief musician contemporary with King David (1 Chronicles 16:4-7). Asaph is also referred to as a ‘seer’ (2 Chronicles 29:30). Taken as a whole, the content of this ...read more

    The substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

    NOW FAITH IS. Hebrews 11:1-3, Hebrews 11:8-16. This chapter follows on from the quotation of Habakkuk 2:4 in Hebrews 10:38a: ‘the just shall live by faith’ (see also Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11). “Now faith is,” continues Hebrews 11:1. The first thing that we learn about faith is that ...read more
