    God has not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness (1 Thessalonians 4:7).

    TOWARDS SANCTIFICATION. 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8. As Paul approaches the subject of “sanctification” (cf. 1 THESSALONIANS 4:3; 1 THESSALONIANS 4:4), he encourages his readers on their “walking” and “pleasing God” so far; but also “beseeches” and “exhorts” them “in the Lord Jesus” to “abound more ...read more

    THE SECRET OF THE LORD. Psalm 25:14-22. “The secret of the LORD” (PSALM 25:14a). This speaks of the friendship, the intimate fellowship that the believer has with the LORD.

    THE CALL OF ELISHA. Abridged. 1 Kings 19:19-21.

    "Show thy marvellous lovingkindness" (Psalm 17:7).

    UNDER THE SHADOW OF THY WINGS. Psalm 17:1-8. PSALM 17:1. How can a man, born dead in trespasses and sins, plead with the LORD to “hear the right?” Well, it is as Abraham said, ‘Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?’ (Genesis 18:25). When we use this Psalm, we are not appealing to our ...read more

    “I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel” (2 KINGS 5:15).

    NAAMAN THE SYRIAN. 2 Kings 5:9-16. It must have been quite a commotion: Naaman and his entourage, horses and chariot and all, turning up at the door of the house of Elisha (2 KINGS 5:9).

    THE CREATOR GOD, OUR REDEEMER. Psalm 33:6-12. PSALM 33:6-7. “The word of the LORD” (cf. Psalm 33:4) is the same powerful, Creative word by which the cosmos was created (cf. Genesis 1:3).

    All things DO work together for good for those who love the Lord (cf. Romans 8:28).

    JOSEPH REVEALS HIS IDENTITY. Genesis 45:1-7, Genesis 45:15. The Old Testament Joseph is very much a Type of Christ. Favoured by his father (cf. Genesis 37:3), Joseph was sold by his brethren for twenty pieces of silver (cf. Genesis 37:28). Favoured by His Father (cf. Luke 3:22), Jesus ‘came ...read more

Shaphan the scribe ...read more

    "For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever" (PSALM 9:18).

    REASSURANCES FOR THE NEEDY. Psalm 9:13-20. A personal petition seems to appear in the text with a startling suddenness: “Have mercy upon me, O LORD: consider my trouble” (PSALM 9:13a).

    A prayer that God might honour His own great name.

    AN APPEAL FOR MERCY. Psalm 79:8-10. God’s people can sometimes see their afflictions as the outworking of their own rebellion against Him.
