    I the LORD do all these things

    THE ALL-ENCOMPASSING SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD. Isaiah 45:1-7. This chapter opens with the astonishing reference to Cyrus, King of Persia, as the LORD’s “anointed” - literally, “messiah” (Isaiah 45:1).

    The Lord is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).

    A CALL TO SILENCE. Zephaniah 1:7; Zephaniah 1:12-18. Speaking during the reign of king Josiah of Judah, Zephaniah spends a lot of energy outlining a universal judgment against the whole earth (Zephaniah 1:1-3), INCLUDING Judah and Jerusalem (Zephaniah 1:4-6). “Hold thy peace,” he cries, “for ...read more

    From a trackless wilderness to a City to dwell in.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,031 views

    That Rock was Christ. 1 Corinthians 10 verse 4.

    LOOK UNTO THE ROCK. Isaiah 51:1-6. The imperative “Hearken to me” (Isaiah 51:1; Isaiah 51:4; cf. Isaiah 51:7) is strongly reminiscent of Jesus’ own expression, ‘He that hath ears to hear, let him hear’ (cf. Matthew 11:15; Matthew 13:9). Hearken. Listen intently. The words of God are ...read more

  • Complaint And Restoration.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 29, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,147 views

    God’s purposes are in no way thwarted by persecution, but rather, somewhat ironically, helped forward by the sufferers’ steadfastness.

    COMPLAINT AND RESTORATION. Jeremiah 15:15-21. This is one of the laments of Jeremiah. There is a complaint here (Jeremiah 15:15-18), and also a reply from the LORD (Jeremiah 15:19-21). JEREMIAH 15:15. The prophet is bold in his approach: “O LORD, thou knowest.” The LORD does know all our ...read more

  • A Bold Approach.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 29, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 986 views

    Praying as those who are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.

    A BOLD APPROACH. Psalm 26:1-8. We do not know what specific trouble that David was facing in PSALM 26, but it has all the hallmarks of a man pleading his case before God based on his INTEGRITY. Unfortunately, this is sometimes translated as blamelessness, which all sounds very arrogant and ...read more

    I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live.

    THE RECOMMISSIONING OF EZEKIEL. Ezekiel 33:7-11. EZEKIEL 33:7. The prophet Ezekiel had first been commissioned by the LORD to be a “a watchman” for “the house of Israel” back in Ezekiel 3:17. This is now a renewal of that commission. Again the warning comes from the LORD. EZEKIEL 33:8. As a ...read more

    That ye shall know that I am the LORD your God.

    BREAD OF HEAVEN. Exodus 16:2-15. In this passage, we join the children of Israel just six weeks into their wilderness journey.

    God, for His part, cares for the whole of His creation.

    THE PETULANCE OF JONAH. Jonah 3:10, Jonah 4:1-11. The LORD is merciful to those who repent (JONAH 3:10; cf. Psalm 130:3-4).

    THE MARVELLOUS WONDERS OF THE LORD. Psalm 78:1-4, Psalm 78:12-16. Psalm 78 is entitled a “Maschil” of Asaph, thereby signifying an INSTRUCTION. It is one of the longest Psalms in the Book, not only outlining a history of Israel, but encouraging us to LEARN from this history (cf. Psalm 78:8). ...read more

    Mortal man seeks divine assurance.

    A TRANSITORY LIFE AND A BETTER PROSPECT. Psalm 90:1-6, Psalm 90:13-17. 1. A Transitory Life. Psalm 90:1. It is remarkable that the children of Israel survived 400 years in Egypt, and for some of that time under unspeakable oppression.

  • Let Us Sing Unto The Lord.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 8, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 923 views

    This is serious worship, with its focus upon who the LORD is (the Rock), and who He is to us (the rock of our salvation).

    LET US SING UNTO THE LORD. Psalm 95:1-7a. In days gone by not everybody who gathered in our churches could read, so it was useful to learn things by rote. So when the praise-leader sang “O Come let us sing unto the LORD” (Psalm 95:1), the congregation knew to join in the singing of Psalm 95. ...read more
