    2 SAMUEL 1:17. "David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son."

    HOW ARE THE MIGHTY FALLEN! 2 Samuel 1:1, 2 Samuel 1:17-27. The first verse of the second book of Samuel follows on from the report of the death of King Saul and his three sons at the end of the previous book. They died in a battle against the Philistines in Mount Gilboa (cf. 1 Samuel 31:1-6). At ...read more

    Joseph as a type of Jesus.

    ALL THINGS FOR GOOD. Genesis 50:15-21. Young Joseph made the mistake of sharing his dreams with his brothers, and ended up in a pit, then sold into slavery, then falsely accused, and thrown into prison, then forgotten by someone for whom he had done a favour. Yet God did not make a full end ...read more

  • A Path Through The Sea.

    The focus of the passage before us is the mighty victory that the LORD wrought against Israel’s pursuers.

    A PATH THROUGH THE SEA. Exodus 14:19-31. EXODUS 14:19a. The “Angel of God” removed Himself from ‘going before’ the people and “went behind them.” We see here, and in other places where the Angel is mentioned, that the Angel is a distinct divine personality, and yet is at one with the LORD. The ...read more

    The transition of leadership from Moses to Joshua.

    DEATH OF MOSES. Deuteronomy 34:1-12. DEUTERONOMY 34:1-4. Moses’ long ministry was drawing to an end, but the LORD had one last treat for His faithful servant before he died.

    God keeps His promises to Israel as they at last enter the promised land.

    CROSSING JORDAN. Joshua 3:7-17. JOSHUA 3:7. Transition from one ministry to another is always challenging, but if the Lord’s people recognise the new incumbent as God’s man then they can agree under God to hearken to him (cf. Joshua 1:17). Moses was dead, but the LORD had appointed Joshua in his ...read more

  • From Lament To Praise.

     | 999 views

    God is, and ever has been, my protector. Why would He let us down now?

    FROM LAMENT TO PRAISE. Psalm 43:1-5. Bold prayer dares to address God in the imperative. It seems that the Psalmist, speaking on behalf of many a pilgrim since, has lost his sense of the immanence of God. Yet we cannot rely upon senses, so he falls back on what he knows about God. ...read more

  • The Arrival At Sinai.

    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
     | 1,224 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

    A metaphor from God's dealings in Creation to describe God's dealings with His Word.

    THE WORD GOES FORTH. Isaiah 55:10-13. Isaiah 55:10-11 is about God’s words not returning to Him void. At first, we might imagine that God is talking about the weather, with all this talk of rain and snow. And what if there is no rain, nor any melting snows from the mountains of Lebanon? Famine! ...read more

    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 Destiny Of Creation.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 14, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,739 views

    Creation groans. We groan within ourselves. Creation is subjected in hope. We are saved in hope.

    THE DESTINY OF CREATION. Romans 8:12-25. 1. The Mortification of Sin (Romans 8:12-14). Paul has just commented that ‘if Christ is in you the body is dead on account of sin’ (cf. Romans 8:10). And that ‘the Spirit of Him who raised up Jesus from the dead will also quicken (revivify, make ...read more
