SUMMARY:"Not to us\, O Lord\, not to us\, but to thy name give glory"   [Psalm 115:1(RSV)]
DESCRIPTION:“Not to us\, O Lord\, not to us\, but to thy name give glory”.  There is always the temptation to take a little of the glory that should be the Lord’s. We can easily feel we have had a part in securing the blessing and benefit experienced. It may be because the temptation is ever present that the Psalmist repeated the request\, ‘Not to us’.  All we have is of the Lord. Every breath we take is given by Him. And if with the strength that is given to us we do something of value\, the design was His in the first place. Any successful venture only happens because the Lord invites us to share with Him in it. We are co-workers together with Christ only at His instigation.\nLet us therefore join with the Psalmist and take great care to give Him all the glory.

SUMMARY:"I find no fault in him"  [John 19:6]
DESCRIPTION:“I find no fault in him”.  There was no fault in Him! The Apostle Peter says the same when describing Jesus as holy\, harmless\, undefiled and separate from sinners.  Yet while being faultless made Jesus unworthy to die\, He needed to be faultless and without sin if His life was to atone for the sin of the world. He was the just giving His life for the unjust that He might bring them to God.\nWe can but marvel at what God did at Calvary. Jesus was the only One whose death could atone for sin.\nHe was perfect and could know nothing else. What Pilate did not realise was that the One in whom he could find no fault was about to have the sin of the world laid upon Him. He had before him the perfect sacrifice that God the Father was to accept.

SUMMARY:"he cried with a loud voice"     [John 11:43]
DESCRIPTION:“he cried with a loud voice”.  Nothing muted about the cry that woke Lazarus from the sleep of death. No mistaking the command of the One Who said ‘I am the resurrection and the life’ as He stood in the family cemetery.\nA loud voice is needed to awaken those who are felled by the enemy death. Jesus’ shout in the graveyard that day was but a precursor of the occasion when all who are in the graves shall hear His voice.\nNot many days later He was to experience death Himself. And then three days later rise again from the dead.\nThe loud call he uttered a week or so earlier raised but one of His followers\, yet it was enough to show the mighty power that was to be released at the resurrection. In that day there will be no mistaking the voice of the mighty Son of God.

SUMMARY:"Love her as the Lord loves the Israelites"    [Hosea 3:1(NIV)]
DESCRIPTION:“Love her as the Lord loves the Israelites”.  Gomer had a history of unfaithfulness\, even when Hosea first married her. An adulterous wife is not good for your reputation\, especially when you are a prophet of the Lord. But the Lord is not so concerned about reputations. Jesus made that clear in His ministry.\nGod’s call on Hosea is the same for the Church today. We are to have this sort of love; for each other as well as for the world. Accepting people irrespective of reputations\, is a huge challenge\, but then that’s just what Christ has done with each of us. As the Lord loves us\, so we must reach out in love to others. Love and forgiveness go hand in hand and if we are not willing to share what we have received\, then we’ll be the poorer for it.

SUMMARY:"of this he has given assurance to all men"    [ Acts 17:31(RSV)]
DESCRIPTION:“of this he has given assurance to all men”.  “Of this” – of the fact that God has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom He\n                has appointed. The Day of Judgment that is needed to put wrongs right and the crooked straight.\n“He has given” – God Himself. The Day of Judgment is under-written by God. It is central to the purpose and fulfillment\n                           of His creation.\n“Assurance” – the assurance is the resurrection of Jesus. The Christian gospel has not disappeared because\n                      Jesus is alive. He is leading\, blessing and empowering His People.\n“to all men” – God wills that none should perish. Look and live: believe and be saved. Be among those who know whom\n                     they have believed\, no matter what faces you today.

SUMMARY:"whosoever will\, let him take the water of life freely"     [Revelation 22:17]
DESCRIPTION:“whosoever will\, let him take the water of life freely”.  We recognise the Bible as the written Word of God conveying to man the great rescue operation that the Lord put in hand to counter the Fall. It is an exercise that is seen to engage the Almighty in the affairs of men throughout the whole of history. It involved the sending of His Son Jesus and exacted a price no less than the sacrifice of His life upon the Cross of Calvary. That God should suffer and die is beyond our understanding yet gloriously true.\nThe benefits of the great salvation thus purchased lift man to a far higher plane than Adam ever knew. It is now an eternal redemption. Not least in its wonder is that here at the end of the Bible whoever will is invited to take this ‘water of life’ freely. They must be fools or blind who decline to do so.

SUMMARY:"I will follow you wherever you go"  [Matthew 8:19(RAV)]
DESCRIPTION:“I will follow you wherever you go”.  To the scribe who spoke these words\, Jesus answered by telling him that foxes have holes and birds their nests\, but He and His followers had nowhere (of their own) to lay their head. Perhaps the scribe was unaware of the hardship and thought that becoming a follower of Jesus would ensure his advancement and success.\nJesus calls us to follow Him and that following must be the expression of love for Him. We are not told whether the scribe did this. Having no certain lodging place is actually of little consequence compared with being with Jesus. No problem is insurmountable when the Son of God is your companion. Get the right motive – follow Him because you love Him and tell Him so.

SUMMARY:"The heart of the righteous weighs its answers"   [Proverbs 15:28(NIV)]
DESCRIPTION:“The heart of the righteous weighs its answers”.  Why? Because a hasty answer can cause much mischief.\nWords spoken cannot be retracted. We say we withdraw a statement made but we can’t: in fact\, we contradict it and the listener must decide which he will believe – the original statement or its contradiction.\nAnswers need weighing because questions can be set as traps – well camouflaged\, even to an experienced listener.  A right answer can settle the matter\, the wrong answer cause an explosion.\nThen it is the heart of the righteous that dictates what answer to make. Head knowledge can be impressive\, it is rarely assuring. Righteousness affects the heart.\nLet the answers you give today be characterised by integrity.

SUMMARY:"bread here in the wilderness"   [Mark 8:4]
DESCRIPTION:“bread here in the wilderness”.  This world is in many ways a wilderness. And when something good begins to grow in the wild terrain of life it is often cut down before it reaches what we call maturity.\nBut Jesus said\, ‘I am the bread of life’ and a true appreciation of the barrenness of this world makes His words all the more wonderful.\nFurthermore\, Jesus had compassion on the multitude\, seeing them as sheep without a shepherd\, and still does\, today.\nThe Lord satisfies the hungry soul – not with an occasional meal but with a satisfying fulness found nowhere else.\nMany may placate and allay the pangs of deep desire but only Christ can satisfy with the bread of heaven.

SUMMARY:"the daughters of Zelophehad"      [Numbers 27:1]
DESCRIPTION:“the daughters of Zelophehad”.  Zelophehad\, the son of Hepher\, the son of Gilead\, had five daughters and no sons. As the law of Moses stood at that time there was no provision for daughters benefiting from their father’s will. Their brothers were expected to look after them. So these five ladies found themselves disinherited on the death of their father.\nThey faced a new situation in a wise way. New situations do arise and they need new directives or legislation. They brought their case to Moses and Moses took the matter to the Lord.\nAs a result\, a law was introduced allowing inheritance to pass to daughters if there were no sons.\nNote the amicable way these ladies approached the matter. Let the daughters of Zelophehad be a reminder that matters can be resolved without rancour or dispute.

SUMMARY:"as they went\, they were cleansed"    [Luke 17:14]
DESCRIPTION:“as they went\, they were cleansed”.  The ten lepers called out to Jesus for mercy. He answered them and told them what they must do. It did not demand reason but obedience. Lepers went to the priest when they were healed for him to verify this. And these lepers recognised that in Jesus’ command to go to the priest there was the promise of cleansing.\nAll this would have meant nothing had they not turned around and started out in obedience. In many cases in the Christian pathway this is the same. It is as we move out in faith whether for salvation\, healing\, guidance\, victory or whatever\, that God gives us what He promises.\nLearn from the ten lepers – make obedience to the Lord the priority in your life today.

SUMMARY:"God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean"     [Acts 10:28(RSV)]
DESCRIPTION:“God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean”.  Tradition had led Peter to believe that some were common or unclean. He was the product of his upbringing. Like us all\, he had ideas ingrained which would have hindered if not prevented the growth and spread of the gospel.\nIt took a vision\, repeated three times\, to shake Peter out of his false spiritual pride. Once he overcame his prejudice and went with the messengers to Cornelius’ home he was amazed at the way the Holy Spirit worked among them.\nLike many of us\, Peter was ready to receive the Word of the Lord\, but only to do certain things.\nThank God he was sensitive and sensible enough to recognise that God was teaching him something new. We may also be amazed if we obey all he tells us.

SUMMARY:"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"  [Philippians 4:13(RAV)]
DESCRIPTION:“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”.  Many today will have formidable obstacles to overcome\, problems to solve and awkward situations to face. The key to success is walking through the day with the Lord – seeking His face\, listening for His voice and obeying His word. Then it is that His power can flow through you\, His presence go ahead of you and His peace be yours.\nThe strength Christ affords enables the followers of Jesus to triumph over self within and opposition from without. As the branch draws its strength from the trunk of the tree\, so the believer obtains all that is needed in the Christian conflict from Christ.\nLife will not be easy but Jesus promises to be with you and provide strength for everything you need.

SUMMARY:"floodgates of heaven"  [Malachi 3:10 (NIV)]
DESCRIPTION:p>“floodgates of heaven”.  See God’s abundance\, so different from the Israelites. They had become tight-fisted\, concerned that they should have enough for themselves rather than giving to the Lord. As a result\, even what they had was destroyed and their hearts were now far from God. Putting ourselves first pushes God away and will always leave us short.\nBut God loves to give and He doesn’t change. The God who wants to throw open the floodgates of heaven is the same heavenly Father who lavishes His love on His children. Our reluctance to put God first at times can deny us the blessings.\nGod loves a cheerful giver because God himself delights in giving. As we give ourselves afresh to the Lord today\, give cheerfully\, give generously and give everything. You’ll not go short; He’ll make sure of that.

SUMMARY:"Her children arise and call her blessed"    [Proverbs 31:28(NIV)]
DESCRIPTION:“Her children arise and call her blessed”.  We must be grateful for this epilogue in the Book of Proverbs that gives us the characteristics of a godly wife. It is worth reading in full. Here are some important points:\n  Skilful with her hands\, she gets up while yet dark to prepare the day’s food.\n  She has a business head and knows the price of things and is careful not to trade at a loss.\n  She is on call at night when needed.\n  She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy.\n  She embroiders coverings and is clothed in fine linen.\n  She is clothed with strength and dignity.\n  She can laugh\, can speak with wisdom and her instruction is invaluable.\nNo wonder the writer says she is worth far more than rubies and her children arise and call her blessed.

DESCRIPTION:“One thing is needful”.    A clean home? I’ve worked unceasingly since dawn this morning.\n  A meal worthy of the occasion? I’ve done nothing but plan and prepare ever since I knew you were coming.\n  A bit of help from someone? Well that would be appreciated\, but I’ve let you know what I think about my lazy sister\, Mary.\n  More care on my part? Why\, you yourself said\, Lord\, that I’m careful and take trouble about many things.\nMartha made an excellent servant and we can learn from her. But Jesus wanted her heart’s devotion and that could only be given in adoration at His feet.

SUMMARY:If one member suffers\, all the members suffer with it"   [I Corinthians 12:26(RAV)]
DESCRIPTION:“If one member suffers\, all the members suffer with it”.  Do you experience this? It is more than a being concerned for the plight of others – more than being moved when seeing pictures of those in famine stricken areas\, or being sorry and saddened when children suffer needlessly.\nThe Apostle is comparing the body of Christ with our natural body. You cannot close your mind to pain in a limb – shut it out and forget about it. So it should be within the body of Christ.\nWhen one member suffers\, all others should suffer with it.\nRegretfully it is not so. We can and do shut out the suffering and need of others and we become used to it and\, in the case of sin\, even accept it. It was not meant to be like this.

SUMMARY:"Moses took the bones of Joseph with him"  [Exodus 13:19(NIV)]
DESCRIPTION:“Moses took the bones of Joseph with him”.  Moses’ life\, like any one of our lives\, was making history.\nHe demonstrated his belief in the prophetic last words of Joseph years before. The bones of Joseph represented the hope of Israel.\nCould the bones of a premier who died years before live again? The hope they expressed never died and as Moses packed them the hope became a reality. Many years later Ezekiel saw a vision of the valley of dead bones and that God could make them live again. Job said though worms destroyed his body\, yet in his flesh would he see God.\nWe are part of a long line fulfilling the purpose of God: just be careful that the bones you carry are not merely relics. Take God’s promise: go forward in His Name.

SUMMARY:"see a man who told me all things that I ever did"  [John 4:29 (RAV)]
DESCRIPTION:“see a man who told me all things that I ever did”.  Something of an exaggeration? It is unlikely that Jesus told the woman at the wellside all she had done but He obviously told her enough to make her think He could tell her it all\, and she was right.\nThe same holds for anything to do with the Lord Jesus. If He keeps one person\, He’ll keep them all. If He helps you in one tight corner\, He’ll not desert you in the next. If He met your need yesterday\, why do you think He’ll leave you today?\nWhen you know the Lord\, this woman reminds you what you should be doing – you should be telling others about Him.

SUMMARY:"bind this line of scarlet thread in the window"   [Joshua 2:18]
DESCRIPTION:“bind this line of scarlet thread in the window”.  It’s a line that ran through the Old Testament from the time that animals were slain to provide covers of skin for Adam\, down to the daily sacrifices offered in the Temple in Jerusalem.\nIt broke out into a fountain at the Cross of Calvary when the blood of Jesus was spilled. It has become a flood-tide in which many have washed and found cleansing from sin’s stain.\nThe line of scarlet points to the blood of Jesus. Nothing else removes sin from the human heart.\nIf you have this experience – bind the line of scarlet in the window – let everyone who cares to enquire know what it means.

SUMMARY:"Each day has enough trouble of its own"  [Matthew 6:34 (NIV)]
DESCRIPTION:“Each day has enough trouble of its own”.  Without our adding to it\, that is.\nSome unnecessary troubles include everybody else’s problems\, troubles that threaten to break tomorrow\, dreamt-up troubles\, illusions\, misunderstandings.\nGod will give you strength to solve today’s problems\, overcome today’s difficulties\, resist today’s temptations and triumph over today’s evil. Jesus’ teaching was: “Take no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.”\nYou’re a happy man if you can sort out today’s troubles. So go for that and put tomorrow’s on ice.

SUMMARY:"all my fears"   [Psalm 34:4]
DESCRIPTION:“all my fears”.  Many will think they could compete with the Psalmist in the list of their fears. But it is not how many\, but how terrifying your fears are.\nIt is not really important how well-founded your fears are: fear causes pain and pain is unpleasant and can in extreme instances become unbearable.\nThe Psalmist had found the answer to fear and we all do well to take note and follow his advice. He sought the Lord – laid the matter before Him\, listened for His counsel\, heeded His word and received His peace. This course of action delivered him from all his fears.\nIf you can’t help being afraid\, you can know the peace that Jesus gives and this turns trembling into tranquillity because the Lord is in control.

SUMMARY:"Neither did"  [Judges 1:27\,29\,30\,31\,33]
DESCRIPTION:“Neither did”.  The rot set in on the premise that if enough fall\, failure is not so bad after all. Manasseh\, Ephraim\, Zebulun\, Asher\, Naphtali all joined the “neither did” failure club. They didn’t drive the enemy out of the territory God had given them.\nIt’s an insidious evil\, this comparing ourselves one with the other instead of striving to make the summit.\nLet everyone else give up and join the “neither dids” if they will. By relying on God’s strength you can succeed today and drive out all evil to His glory.

SUMMARY:"It is the Spirit who gives life"   [John 6:63(RAV)]
DESCRIPTION:“It is the Spirit who gives life”.  Without the Holy Spirit\, the church is like a club\, the Bible is antiquity and the Christian life the mere adoption of high ideals.\nThe Holy Spirit makes the church the Body of Christ\, the Bible the Word of God and the Christian life a life in the Spirit.\nWithout the Spirit you may have enthusiasm\, a degree of wisdom and moral uprightness worthy of emulation. But without the Spirit you will never ascend to the hill of the Lord or stand in His holy place: the joy of the Lord will not permeate your being and you’ll never know the meaning of worship: power will be missing\, prayer will go unanswered and salvation will drop from the syllabus.\nIt is the Holy Spirit Who gives life.

SUMMARY:"Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever"   [I Chronicles 28:7]
DESCRIPTION:“Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever”.  This was God’s promise to David in relation to the accession of his son\, Solomon\, to the throne. It was\, however\, a promise with conditions attached that Solomon could not or would not keep\, to be constant in keeping God’s commandments.\nThe law of the Lord conveyed in the Old Testament was an excellent foundation but proved an impossible hurdle.\nIt is to Jesus we must look for the establishment of a kingdom that will never end. Following His successful mission to earth culminating in His atoning death and glorious resurrection\, God the Father has exalted Him to the highest place and given Him all power and authority.\nHis is the kingdom that will know no end and eternally blessed are all who have a part in it.

SUMMARY:"if\, while we seek to be justified by Christ\, we ourselves also are found sinners"   [Galatians 2:17]
DESCRIPTION:“if\, while we seek to be justified by Christ\, we ourselves also are found sinners”.  Justification by faith does not allow the believer to continue in sin. If it did\, Christ would become the administrator of sin.\nChrist paid the penalty for my sin and by believing I receive the gift of eternal life offered to me.\nIf I continue in sin something is wrong. A new creature in Christ Jesus means that all things are made new.\nWho might find us to be sinners? The Lord knows\, certainly. But would not the man with whom we rub shoulders detect it too? It’s on the parade ground of life that we put into effect the Christian drill.\nJustification by faith is the theory: no longer found sinners is the practical. Am I putting what I believe into practice in my life today?

SUMMARY:"Give\, and it shall be given unto you"  [Luke 6:38]
DESCRIPTION:“Give\, and it shall be given unto you”.  These words are part of Jesus’ ‘Sermon on the Plain’ – a lengthy discourse recorded for us by Luke in his Gospel. Like the Sermon on the Mount it contains injunctions that are difficult to put into practice\, such as loving your enemies\, turning the other cheek and giving to everybody who asks something of you.\nThese sayings accurately describe a spiritual turnover God would have in our lives. God will fill the hungry soul with goodness but unless there is a movement – giving out to the blessing of others and then accepting and doing the same with more – there can be no real or spiritual advance.\nKeep the ‘pot boiling’: give and get replenished from God’s limitless supply.

SUMMARY:"they may forget\, yet will I not forget"    [Isaiah 49.15]
DESCRIPTION:“they may forget\, yet will I not forget”.  We live in a world where anything can happen. Who can tell what a day will bring forth?\nThe strongest may weaken and the straightest bend. Put all your eggs in the safest basket and you run the risk of losing them all in one jolt.\nIt is a timely reminder that God operates on a different plane altogether. Our friends may forsake us\, God will never do so. Trust in man and he may let you down: trust God and you will never be confounded. Let a mother forget the child she has weaned\, God will not forget any of His children.\nPause to thank God for remembering you. Praise Him for His love and concern. Rest in the assurance that He cares for you\, that He has said He will not forget you.

SUMMARY:"strive lawfully"    [II Timothy 2:5]
DESCRIPTION:“strive lawfully”.  Put simply – don’t get disqualified.\nWhen the writer was young he belonged to an athletic club and well remembers an occasion when running the last leg of a relay race. He took the baton well down in the order and to his surprise noticed that the runner in front was cutting inside the marked track. There was no way of overtaking him if he did this. He reached the finishing line first but was disqualified.\nThere are rules in the Christian race and not everyone who appears to be running successfully is adhering to them. That is what the Judgment Seat of Christ is all about and many “unknowns” will be recognised there. Really\, you know\, it will give those a chance who spend all their life playing second fiddle.

SUMMARY:"one of these little ones"   [Matthew 18:6]
DESCRIPTION:“one of these little ones”.  Jesus warns about the seriousness of harming innocent children – the deserved punishment being a millstone round the neck and thrown into the sea.\nHe said that a young child – presumably one who has not yet attained the years of moral responsibility – has the protection of a guardian angel. This protection He describes as angelic representation before His Father in heaven.\nWe live in a day when Aids\, congenital diseases\, famine and bloodshed mean that many become innocent victims and premature deaths in infants and young children are common.\nJesus assures us that none go unheeded and we can be sure that those who so suffer in this life will be rewarded in heaven and that those who molest will not go unpunished.
