SUMMARY:”I am the Lord"   [Leviticus 26:1\,2\,13 & 45]
DESCRIPTION:”I am the Lord”.  The Lord repeatedly reminded the Israelites that He was Lord as He gave instructions for their behaviour.\nLook at the prohibitions:\n     No idols – wood\, stone or any man-made icon;\n     No Sabbath desecration – it is the day to rest.\nLook at the long list of blessings:\n     Good crops and harvest;  all you need to eat;\n     peace in the land;  no threat from invasion;\n     victory in battle and the presence of God among His People.\n     No slavery to the Devil but service to the Lord.\nIn all this the bottom line now\, as then\, must be making Him Lord. Ours is the privilege to exalt Jesus to the highest place upon the throne of our heart. Where a life has this foundation today it makes all the difference.

SUMMARY:”when they got into the boat\, the wind ceased"   [Matthew 14:32(RAV)]
DESCRIPTION:”when they got into the boat\, the wind ceased”.  The disciples’ experience is a picture of those who enter into the ark of salvation upon the seas of life.\nMany make shipwreck of the life God has given them. It was not Peter’s return to the boat\, but Jesus’ coming aboard that brought the calm. After all\, it is our fear of what will happen to us that makes us afraid.\nWhen Jesus comes into our life we have peace with God\, peace with ourselves and a purpose in the life He gives us. His presence makes all the difference. The hope of heaven and the joy of salvation transcend all the petty anxieties if we take Christ on board.\nWhen you know He is aboard with you\, storms that loomed large before are largely forgotten.

SUMMARY:”the glory which shall be revealed in us"  [Romans 8:18]
DESCRIPTION:”the glory which shall be revealed in us”.  Who are these that are to have glory revealed in them? They are nothing special to look at – it’s probably only when under pressure or duress you’d pick them out.\nTheir educational attainment may not be outstanding though some are keen to take every opportunity to learn more.\nFor them there is no bypassing suffering or avoiding difficulty – in some ways they have much persecution and adversity.\nStorms still rage about them like anybody else\, but if you look carefully\, you’ll see there is a peace in it all.\nGet near them\, though\, and they’re sure to tell you they love the Lord. They are Christians\, and the day is coming when the whole creation will be astounded at the glory of God seen in them.

SUMMARY:”he who lays up treasure for himself\, and is not rich toward God"  [Luke 12:21(RSV)]
DESCRIPTION:”he who lays up treasure for himself\, and is not rich toward God”.  It is a natural desire to want to succeed. We are given pounds to trade with and talents to use. But it is making a profit without thought of God or seeking His will in it all that condemns us. And the world is full of people who are doing this.\nThe bank of heaven pays a good dividend – gilt edged in so much as it will never depreciate. Investment is easy and can be done by the poorest in this world’s rating.\nIndeed\, if you give to those in need until you have little left you can continue depositing good in the vaults of heaven.\nRich toward God may not be noticed by others\, but riches of that nature will never fade or fail.

SUMMARY:”You will not be allowed to eliminate them all at once"   [Deuteronomy 7:22(NIV)]
DESCRIPTION:”You will not be allowed to eliminate them all at once”.  Many parallels may be drawn between the restrictions laid by Jehovah upon the Children of Israel and God’s plan for His disciples today. Here is one of them. Success was not to be achieved immediately in the overthrow of the nations ranged against God’s People. It was not to be a short sharp battle followed by years of ease and laziness.\nAnd so\, the Lord Who gives you an average ‘three score and ten’ will fill each one of those years with just the degree of success needed to make the whole of your life accomplish that for which He has called you to be His servant.\nIt is today added to all the other days that will give the overall picture of success that the Lord has promised to give you.

SUMMARY:”they … wished for the day"   [Acts 27:29]
DESCRIPTION:”they … wished for the day” .  Storm or distress or grief can make the night seem endless. When tossed to and fro by the waves as Paul and his companions were\, or so disturbed that bed in the safety of home does not grant sleep\, you long for day.\nSuffering can seem like a never-ending night\, and many are called to suffer for their faith. Others just suffer seemingly without reason and irrespective of their faith. For them the night can seem endless.\nYet you know it is not! Your wish only extends to bring daybreak nearer. Your wish is a prayer.\nGod knows your longing\, He hears your cry. Often the Lord seems to extend our nights of suffering – but only to make the break of day more appreciated and blessed.

SUMMARY:”faithful over a few things"   [Matthew 25:23]
DESCRIPTION:”faithful over a few things”.  As children we play at what we one day expect to be real. Adulthood is not long reached before we realise few if any of our childhood dreams will come true. But it is not what you have missed but what you have been given that is important.\nAdult life and its responsibilities bring home the truth that for most of us mismanagement of what we have is our biggest problem.\nDon’t spend too much time chasing bubbles or reaching for the stars. Spend it developing what you have to the glory of God and to the benefit of your brother and sister in need.\nIt is not how much you have\, but how faithful you are with what you have\, that will matter when your final assessment is made.

SUMMARY:”I will listen to what God the Lord says"   [Psalm 85:8(NIV)]
DESCRIPTION:”I will listen to what God the Lord says”.  There are a number of steps you’ll need to take if you are going to join the Psalmist:\n     stop all else you’re doing;\n     switch off television and radio;\n     discard the tinsel that obscures reality;\n     remove the wax from your ears;\n     pay more attention to what God is saying to you.\nYou will have to:\n     be prepared to do what God says;\n     put His commands first on your list of priorities;\n     avoid excuses and procrastination.\nBut if you can do all this\, the result will be well worth any sacrifice.

SUMMARY:”if you consider me a partner"   [Philemon v17(NIV)]
DESCRIPTION:”if you consider me a partner”.  Partners can sometimes be easier to make than to keep\, especially if we are not prepared to maintain the relationship.\nPhilemon no doubt thought it an honour to have the Apostle Paul as a personal friend. The test came when on the strength of that friendship he was asked to do something.  Irrespective of what he felt within\, was he prepared to forgive and receive back a runaway slave for Paul’s sake?  Onesimus may have robbed him.  The believer’s relationship with the Body of Christ is one of partnership. In the light of that\, he or she is asked to do many things just as difficult as Paul asked Philemon. But when you are in love with your Lord you’ll do anything. After all\, whatever you do can never equal that already done for you.

SUMMARY:”many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples"   [Matthew 9:10(RAV)]
DESCRIPTION:”many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples” .  Matthew did not keep his conversion secret: rather\, he made it the opportunity for his acquaintances to hear Jesus for themselves. So we read that tax collectors and sinners sat at his table. Any not accepted in the synagogue found they were able to meet Jesus around the table in Matthew’s home.  Not that Jesus shared with these men in their sinful life but He did make it quite obvious that He loved them (while hating their sin) and wanted to help them.\nIt’s a pity we don’t have more feasts like this one.  Matthew’s workmates accepted the invitation extended to them. Sitting around a table is a good place to talk. When did you last sit and chat the gospel with those you invited to a meal?

SUMMARY:''the whole creation groans"   [Romans 8:22(RAV)]
DESCRIPTION:”the whole creation groans”.  Groaning as a sufferer in pain for which no remedy can be found. The world is rocking beneath its own curse as well as its misuse by man.  That war rages incessantly somewhere or other on our planet: that famine has a large proportion of our population in its grip: that as soon as one disease is spent another rears its painful head; these and many other signs say quite plainly that something is wrong. The whole world is groaning\, but for what?\nIt is surely anticipating the return of the Lord Jesus. He is its Creator and has said He will return again. He promises to resurrect what has expired and to return this world to rightful ownership. Those He assures of this know that all things work together for good.

SUMMARY:''let me glean and gather after the reapers''  [Ruth 2:7]
DESCRIPTION:”let me glean and gather after the reapers”.  Ruth in the Old Testament is not unlike the Canaanite woman in the New Testament who begged for crumbs at Jesus’ table.\nShe was content to collect up what the others left.  Circumstances had brought her low in worldly wealth but her situation brought out hidden beauty that we might otherwise have never seen.\nYou may not have all you want: it may be that your heart’s desire eludes you for many or all your days. But let the situation in which you find yourself bring out the best in you.\nEven the poorest can bestow the priceless gifts of kindness\, meekness\, love and gentleness which the more affluent find difficult to muster even when they see the need.

SUMMARY:”waiting for the moving of the water"   [John 5:3]
DESCRIPTION:”waiting for the moving of the water”.  The crowd clustered beneath the arches around Bethesda’s pool were clutching at a straw. The chance each had of healing was very small.  Some of the ‘moving waters’ mankind still waits for are – to be left a fortune; to win the pools; become famous: have better luck next time; enjoy an easy life; experience perfect bliss! All are an illusion.\nYet there is something in life worth waiting for\, though it may elude some for a long time. It is an encounter with the living Christ Who rose from the grave 2\,000 years ago. It is this that has brought peace and purpose to His disciples ever since.\nWaiting is worthwhile when it is the Lord Who is coming.

SUMMARY:”But now … " [Ephesians 2:13]
DESCRIPTION:“But now … “.  Thank God for ‘but now’! It is one ‘but’ we cannot do without. It is a declaration of being. It announces the difference Christ makes. It declares freedom and forgiveness from the past\, new life and new relationships for the present and the hope of heaven for the future.  Each time it is used in the epistles\, it underlines the comparison with the past. It emphasizes the reality of living in Christ rather than in sin.\nListen to God’s ‘but now’. It removes the doubts that come to us all\, answers our questions and confirms our position before God. It banishes the old nature and welcomes the new. It lifts us out of despair and gives us hope to keep going. So come\, leave the old behind\, move on in Christ today and experience the ‘but now’ of God.

SUMMARY:"You did not choose me\, but I chose you"    [John 15:16(RAV)]
DESCRIPTION:“You did not choose me\, but I chose you”.  Jesus chose to call His disciples. As far as we know\, all the twelve whom He called responded positively.\nIt was not an open invitation but a specific one. Jesus came to James and John mending their nets\, Peter and Andrew casting their net and Matthew sitting at the collector’s booth.\nThis does serve to show us the great honour that is ours when we hear Him calling us to follow Him. We may later testify that we decided to follow Jesus and so we did. The greater and wonderful thing is that He called us.\nThere are those who do not seem to hear His voice; others do not appreciate He is calling them personally. It must be a personal step – hearing His voice\, acting in obedience and then walking with Him.

SUMMARY:"those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works"  [Titus 3:8(RAV)]
DESCRIPTION:“those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works”.  This is wise counsel to all believers. The danger is that the believer mistakenly thinks that faith is all that is needed.\nTo say I believe and not do anything that faith demands is like advertising my assumed godliness with no product to support it\, whereas good works undertaken in the name of the Lord speak more loudly than any spoken profession.\nWe need good works that spring from our faith. If we do not love our brother\, how can we love God? Faith in God is evidenced in love for our fellowmen. With your faith firmly placed on the atoning work of Christ for salvation\, for there is salvation in none other\, the good that you do today will be directly related to and identifiable with your faith.\nThe apostle urges us all to be careful to maintain this.

SUMMARY:"when did we see you …? "  [Matthew 25:37\,38\,39(RAV)]
DESCRIPTION:“when did we see you …? “.  Those pronounced righteous on the Day of Judgment repeatedly asked this question when told they had met the Lord and attended to His need.\nThe fact was that they had seen Him but not recognised Him – when they took warm clothes and wrapped the shivering child\, when they spent time prison visiting and sought to relieve the anguish of the prisoners\, when they took food to the hungry and drink to the thirsty and administered medicine to the sick. All this and a hundred and one other deeds of mercy brought these benefactors face to face with the Lord and they did not know it. But He did and remembered it as we see from the reward they received.\nOnly a relative few engage in these missions of mercy today\, don’t they?

SUMMARY:"a choice between the way that leads to life and the way that leads to death"  [Jeremiah 21:8(GNB)]
DESCRIPTION:“a choice between the way that leads to life and the way that leads to death”.  The choice found in Jeremiah is not the only one. God gives us all that same choice today. We cannot all be wealthy or educated or intelligent\, but we can all choose the way that leads to life. It is God’s way\, not ours. We would choose a way that looks right but all too often ends in defeat. Because Jesus died for our sins\, His is the way of life. There is forgiveness of sin\, newness of life and power to live to God’s glory through faith in Christ. This is the way that leads to life.\nSo much rubbish and undergrowth in modern living that it can be difficult to find the door. We are promised that we shall find it if we seek for it. When we do find it there comes the moment of decision for us to go forward in the way that leads to eternal life.

SUMMARY:"All my fountains are in you"   [Psalm 87:7(NIV)]
DESCRIPTION:“All my fountains are in you”.  This psalm extols the blessings of Zion\, the city of God. Zion speaks of the capital and centre of the kingdom of God and of the Children of God.\nThe fountains\, or springs as they are called refer to the strength and sustenance the Christian draws from the true family of God\, children\, friends\, privileges and protection. Scattered now\, as the salt of the earth\, the Christian must be looking for that city where God dwells with His people – a city that has foundations\, as Abraham sought long ago.\nIf you are drawing strength from the world it will dry up. Because the cisterns of this world hold no water of life\, set your affection upon the Lord and His promise and find with the Psalmist\, that all worth having is found in Him.

SUMMARY:"busy with your own house"   [Haggai 1:9(NIV)]
DESCRIPTION:“busy with your own house”.  Despite being busy\, the Israelites found that all their hard work was proving futile. The more they did\, the less they achieved. Whilst rebuilding the temple\, the people had become distracted with building homes for themselves and their priorities had changed. The house of the Lord could wait. Concern for self had replaced attention to God and as a result life was empty.\nOur busy lives can distract us from attention to the Lord. We can be so focussed on getting our lives in order that we leave the Lord waiting. We fit the Lord into the time available rather than being available with time for the Lord.\nThe excuse offered by the Israelites was that it was not yet time. Strange how we find time for other things! Put the Lord first and He will help sort out the business of life.

SUMMARY:"May all who come to you be glad and joyful"  [Psalm 70:4(GNB)]
DESCRIPTION:“May all who come to you be glad and joyful”.  They will\, if it is the Lord they seek. In the Old Testament the Lord has promised that if we seek Him with all our heart we will find Him. Finding Him is like finding the pearl of great price\, and worth losing the world if necessary to keep it.\nHe is the blessed and only Potentate\, King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He is the First and the Last\, the Omniscient and Omnipresent One.\nInstead of rejecting us\, which is what we might expect\, He promises to receive us. He lifts a man or woman out of the valley of despair and depth of failure and sets them on a high place of purpose and usefulness. Come to Christ\, if you would know a deep joy and a transcendent gladness.

SUMMARY:"he inquired of them the hour when he got better"  [John 4:52(RAV)]
DESCRIPTION:“he inquired of them the hour when he got better”.  In other words\, the nobleman checked out whether it was at the time that Jesus gave him the promise of healing that his boy was actually healed.\nThe gift of healing\, like answered prayer and any other promise of the Lord\, stands investigation. Things do happen by coincidence and there may be occasions when the mind exerts influence over matter. But when God works in answer to requests made to Him\, these have no place. It was not coincidence that the boy was healed at the same hour the nobleman talked with Jesus; it was an indication that the Word of the Lord healed him. And the father gave God the glory.\nCheck out what has happened and when you find what the Lord has done\, give Him all the glory and praise.

SUMMARY:"all that God had done with them"   [Acts 14:27]
DESCRIPTION:“all that God had done with them”.  This was the agenda for Paul’s meeting with the church at Antioch and the end of their first great missionary journey. It is always on the agenda when servants of the Lord return home after a tour of duty.\nWe should all recognise the hand of God in our lives and take opportunity to testify to His blessing and keeping power. God wants to do something to His eternal glory in each one of our lives. We do not labour in temporal things though we are in a physical world.\nThe weapons of our trade (or warfare) are spiritual.\nThe most important fact that Paul could mention was being used of God to bring the Gospel to others\, in his case\, to the Gentiles. And we are called to follow Christ and lead others to that commitment of faith.

SUMMARY:"you will eat and be satisfied"   [Deuteronomy 11:15(NIV)]
DESCRIPTION:“you will eat and be satisfied”.  We all eat but not all of us are satisfied. The menu for satisfied diners is to be found in the Word of God. God linked complete satisfaction with loving the Lord your God and serving Him with all your heart and soul. Only in this way can you know true contentment. Ignoring God\, or being ignorant of Him\, generally results in eating and ever wanting more. This is so in whatever way the hunger is expressed.\nSeeking and finding God and then loving Him for Who He is points to an eating of the satisfying diet of His goodness – a gathering in the good grain of His provision so that you and those with you are satisfied.\nIf life is not satisfying\, pay attention to the type of food you’re living on.

SUMMARY:"Noah lived 950 years\, and then he died"    [Genesis 9:29(NIV)]
DESCRIPTION:“Noah lived 950 years\, and then he died”.  A fascinating way to record this man who built the ark. First\, that he lived for so long: he was six hundred when he entered the ark. Second\, that though he lived so long\, he still took that step common to us all – he died.\nIf we live one tenth his years we do well. But the inevitable must be faced. The following are worthy of note:  \n   We can prepare for dying by living – Noah did\, the Bible describes him a righteous man.\n   We cannot return (or even go back a year or two) for a second try – today is God’s gift to us once: there will never\n      be a day just like this one.\n   We need to be ready for when the Lord comes or calls. \nDeath has lost its “sting” since Jesus died for all those who will receive His salvation today.

SUMMARY:"a great multitude"    [John 5:3]
DESCRIPTION:“a great multitude”.  Chronic sufferers\, cripples\, psychosomatics\, paralytics and those suffering as the result of an accident\, yet all there with one declared purpose – to get well again. This ‘great multitude’ is a picture of the world at large. Not all suffer in this way\, but all fall victim of sin which is rampant in our world. All are looking for improvement. Passing years can dampen the greatest enthusiasm and extinguish the flame of hope in anybody’s heart. Yet in Christ Jesus there is hope for every one of this world’s ‘great multitude’. He lifts the load\, cleanses the guilty conscience and gives a new start to a new life.\nThis world’s multitude is not too great for God to single out a blessing for you today.

SUMMARY:"godless chatter"  [I Timothy 6:20(RSV)]
DESCRIPTION:“godless chatter”.  Some people’s tongue is like a machine that never stops. They go on like a car without brakes rolling downhill. And incessant chatter easily resorts to godlessness.  The godly man examines his words before he speaks them.\nHe stops speaking before he needs to apologise for what he has said.\nSmall talk is shallow talk and does not allow for serious discussion. There are a hundred and one subjects the chatterer will try before he allows you to dwell on anything of great import.\nIt does serve to show the great value of godly conversation when we can get away from the incessant prattle of the chatterer.\nSpeak often if you must\, but let it be on the things that matter.

SUMMARY:"Let us make a little chamber"    [II Kings 4:10]
DESCRIPTION:“Let us make a little chamber”.  The prophet Elisha stayed in this home whenever he passed by that way and the lady of the house wanted to provide for the comfort he deserved. She had a desire to serve the Lord. Her husband recognised the wisdom of her suggestion and put no obstacle in her way. Though few words describe the situation\, it seems that both man and wife made a good partnership.\nFurthermore her simple desire to do something developed into greater things and she is the subject of one of the many miracles that took place in the time of Elisha.\nShe miraculously bore a son and when he was grown saw him wonderfully restored to life. It may only be a little chamber that you feel led to build\, but there is no knowing where one step of obedience will lead.

SUMMARY:"Strengthen\, O God\, what you have done for us"  [Psalm 68:28(RAV)]
DESCRIPTION:“Strengthen\, O God\, what you have done for us”.  This should be the prayer of all who have known the touch of God in their life. The voice of the Lord speaking to us\, the consciousness of His hand upon us\, the power of the Holy Spirit ministering through us are just the beginning.\nGod supplies strength day by day –  not a stock that will last us for the week! We need daily to draw upon Him. He will continue to supply all we need until life’s journey is complete. He will never put us in a path and then leave us to go forward in our own strength. It is by calling upon Him that we put ourselves in a place where His strength can pour into our weakness.\nWe see then how day by day He would perfect the work begun in each of His children. We call to Him to strengthen what He has begun in us.

SUMMARY:"The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit"   [Romans 8:16(RAV)]
DESCRIPTION:“The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit”.  The Christian life begins with repentance and an act of commitment. It is a definite decision to trust the Lord only made possible because one realises that Jesus died for one’s sins and rose again to be the Saviour of all who would take this step.\nBut once taken the matter does not rest there. It is followed by a witness of the Holy Spirit. This is hardly surprising because the true Christian is born of the Spirit. The witness enables one to say\, ‘I know whom I have believed’.\nThen there are gifts of the same Spirit\, – many of them listed in the Epistles. Any gift of the Spirit should make me know a little more about the giver.  Faith in Christ is far more than an act of the will.
