SUMMARY:"The Lord is at your right hand"   [Psalm 110:5(RSV)]
DESCRIPTION:“The Lord is at your right hand”.  The shepherd on the Judean hillside may have little in common with the computer technician. But while the age is different and the demands more exacting\, some things do not change. Especially is this so in the Lord’s ability and readiness to meet man’s need.\nSuch is the assurance in this verse. The Lord does not remove the pressure always – more often He gives an awareness of His Presence alongside\, supporting and strengthening you.\nHe is as indignant at the godlessness of men as the disciple is. Repeatedly His Word speaks of the day of His wrath. Justice can only be ascribed to the final outcome. Until then be comforted to know that the Lord is at your right hand.

SUMMARY:"Jesus wept"       [John 11:35]
DESCRIPTION:“Jesus wept”.  Jesus did not weep because Lazarus was suffering\, that was over\, though He may have wept that Lazarus had been made to suffer. Neither did He weep because He would not see him again – He was soon to raise him up when they would be reunited. He may have wept at the sorrow caused by the loss of those who would not be raised.\nJesus’ tears were more than conforming to the custom when anyone dies. Jesus wept when confronted with the cutting sorrow that sin caused as He was faced with the loss of a friend. He identified Himself with all who feel the keenness of such loss.\nBut He did not merely weep. He went on to Jerusalem and gave His life so that all who trust might know eternal joy.

SUMMARY:"walk as children of light"  [Ephesians 5:8]
DESCRIPTION:“walk as children of light”.  Allowing the light of the glorious gospel to illumine all of your being.\nAllowing His light to shine upon your path. The healing rays of His life and love warming your innermost being. The lamp of His Word shining on the path He has chosen for you giving you clear guidance when the next step is to be taken.\nAllowing the light of His love to be reflected from you to all around. Taking care to let nothing in you mar or diminish its blessing to those looking on.\nKeeping your heavenly batteries charged – the means whereby you fulfil Jesus’ prediction that His disciples were to be lights in the world. This world has some very dark places\, but darkness must flee where the Lord puts the children of light to shine.

SUMMARY:"it shall come to pass\, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved"   [Acts 2:21]
DESCRIPTION:“it shall come to pass\, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved”.  ‘It shall come to pass’ means that the time will come.\n‘Whosoever’ builds the entrance wide enough for anybody. In reality there are those who feel that for one reason or another they have not reached that place of trust yet. But none need feel they never will get there. ‘It shall come to pass’ is a promise everyone may clutch in his quest for God.\nLife is a pathway: it is not an aimless round as we might be tempted to think. Those who seek shall find and the path Godward will reach its destination.\nSometimes the words will not come forth\, the call just is not there\, or the promise appears so far off. ‘But it shall come to pass’ though getting there for some takes longer than expected.

SUMMARY:"he made the storm be still"     [Psalm 107:29(RSV)]
DESCRIPTION:“he made the storm be still”.  The catalogue of God’s doings listed in this Psalm makes interesting reading. This part verse is but one of many.\nIt does not necessarily mean He caused the storm to cease its raging\, though that was what happened when Jesus stood among His fearful disciples in the boat and bade the sea to cease her roaring. It does mean that its raging no longer affects or disturbs the heart of those that cry unto the Lord in their trouble. In some cases He gives sleep; in others an awareness of the reality of His love\, so that what was frightening loses its dread. The storm that was frightening becomes thrilling as one recognises that the Lord rides upon it. It is a ‘still small voice’ that comes through the cacophany of sound that is around. There need be no turbulence within when Jesus whispers peace.

SUMMARY:"If anyone wants to boast"   [Jeremiah 9:24(GNB)]
DESCRIPTION:“If anyone wants to boast”.  Some people do seem to enjoy boasting. In many different areas we may obtain a sense of achievement. Yet the temptation to boast about our achievements is something we do well to resist in every area except one.\nThe prophet Jeremiah is talking about boasting that we know the Lord and feel His constant love.\nThe Apostle Paul said that the only thing in which he would glory was the cross of Christ\, the sign of the salvation that he experienced and preached.\nWise men should not boast of their wisdom nor strong men of their strength nor rich men of their wealth. Those who see the Lord and receive His forgiveness and mercy can boast in the Lord and His goodness to them.

SUMMARY:"She has come beforehand to anoint my body for burial"  [Mark 14:8(RAV)]
DESCRIPTION:“She has come beforehand to anoint my body for burial”.  We wonder whether these words of Jesus indicate that the lady who came to anoint Jesus in the house of Simon the leper had a special revelation of the passion and death that Jesus was about to experience. It is most likely that hers was a spontaneous expression of love enhanced by a recognition of who Jesus was\, that made this lady defy protocol and break the flask of costly oil of spikenard and pour it on Jesus’ head. She did not know that Jesus would describe what she was doing in this way.\nNone of us knows what purpose may be achieved when we express our love for Jesus. Jesus who gave such love waits to receive in return. We love Him because He first loved us\, and this truth binds together the family of God.

SUMMARY:"redeeming the time"    [Ephesians 5:16]
DESCRIPTION:“redeeming the time”.  A life lived without Christ in every part of it\, fails to attain the standard set – hence the need for even a cup of cold water to be given in His Name. But once a soul turns to Christ\, they should waste no time in catching up on missed opportunities\, or growing in grace\, and in helping others to do the same.\nThe only way to put time to the best advantage is to find what the Lord wants you to do with it. Once you know this you can put every waking moment to good use\, for the will of the Lord extends to every area of your life.\nThe Devil is the biggest thief of time. He tempts the followers of the Lord to squander this great gift of time. Thank God\, He promises to restore the years the locust has eaten\, and it is surprising how much you can catch up once you begin to tread the ‘narrow way’.

SUMMARY:"may I not wash in them\, and be clean? "  [II Kings 5:12]
DESCRIPTION:“may I not wash in them\, and be clean? “.  Naaman the leper wanted cleansing from his leprosy on his terms. The river of Jordan was not good enough for his pride – Abana and Pharpar rivers would be much better.\nIn a similar way the sinner looks to see if he can be cleansed any other way than by the blood of Jesus at the foot of the cross. The answer is that there is none. The blessed thing is that the fountain for sin and uncleanness is still flowing.\nFaith can still rise from the human heart and reach out and take God’s gift of sin forgiven\, peace with God\, restoration of a broken relationship through Jesus.\nThe extent of the sin is not the hindrance: it is your obedience and acknowledgment that Christ came to save sinners and that you ask Him to save you that is needed.

SUMMARY:"The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord"    [Psalm 37:23]
DESCRIPTION:“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord”.  Who or what will be guiding you through the avenue of life today? Your own expertise and experience may stand you in good stead. An awareness of things around you should ensure that you take great care in negotiating its difficulties and obstacles.\nThis verse marks out the good man as living by direct instruction from the Lord. Through the reading of His Word\, by listening to His voice and a sensitivity to the leading of the Spirit\, you can be divinely led throughout the day.\nIt is far more than an order-and-obey relationship. It is fellowship and friendship that can be found nowhere else. This ordering of one’s steps by the Lord is a delight.

SUMMARY:"they found that Jesus was alone"   [Luke 9:36(NIV)]
DESCRIPTION:“they found that Jesus was alone”.  Jesus was still there when Moses and Elijah had returned to heaven.\nThe disciples wanted to remain on the mountain top. Peter offered to build three shelters for Jesus\, Moses and Elijah. But time on life’s mountain peaks are to give us strength and fortitude in the subsequent struggles in the valley.\nWhen all have left and the lights have gone out\, Jesus is still there. It’s the same when the follower of Jesus enters a period of darkness – He is still there.\nYou may feel alone when others leave\, but alone with Jesus and you have the company you need. With others on the mountain top may be inspirational. Alone with Jesus is for ever blessed.

SUMMARY:"I will bless the person who puts his trust in me"  [Jeremiah 17:7(GNB)]
DESCRIPTION:“I will bless the person who puts his trust in me”.  Putting your trust in the Lord attracts God’s blessing upon every department of your life. No hidden snags or dangers when God blesses. His path and His calling are not easy but they are blessed. The work may be difficult but it is rewarding and the goals He sets achievable.\nIt is our resolve to trust the Lord in all things and with all that we have that sometimes falters.\nBeing convinced of the truth of God’s promise is paramount. You cannot trust a person if you do not believe what he says and that he only says what he can perform.\nSo trust in the Lord with all your heart and know His blessing in every part of your life.

SUMMARY:"is well known for her good deeds"   [I Timothy 5:10(NIV)]
DESCRIPTION:“is well known for her good deeds”.  This is the quality of a godly widow. Being ‘well known’ speaks of many people testifying to her good deeds. Paul gives a list of some of the actions that are included and they benefit the young and the old\, the hungry and those who struggle.\nThis lady doesn’t mind getting her hands dirty or putting in the effort for the wellbeing of others. She’s not given to feeling sorry for herself\, but is aware of the needs of others. She’s not out to be popular\, but to be of service to those around her. Her acts of kindness are not on a whim or for show but have been proved over time and make a real difference. Such women are still around today and are an example for us all to follow.  [AP]

SUMMARY:"Return home"   [Luke 8:39 (NIV)]
DESCRIPTION:“Return home”.  In many cases home is the hardest mission field. Everybody knows you at home. So it is there that the change will be noticed. You cannot start your life afresh like going to a new environment. And it is your new life as a follower of Jesus that must begin at home.\nIt does not matter how useful you think you could be elsewhere. When Jesus sends you home as He did the demoniac whom He healed\, it is home you must go.   The graduation course in true discipleship is undertaken at home. When at home you can’t really pretend to be someone else. There they read you like a book.\nAnd when Christ has come into your life that is what they need to do. Home\, if you’ve not witnessed there\, is the place to start – and there your life will speak most.

DESCRIPTION:“Then Philip ran”.  Once you are clear what God wants you to do\, some extra speed may be called for to do it.\nIf Philip had not run he might never have caught up with the chariot and seen the conversion of this court official. The two disciples ran to the tomb to check the exciting news that it was empty and Jesus had been seen alive.\nThe demon possessed man who lived in the tombs ran to worship Jesus when he saw Him coming ashore.\nAbraham ran to meet his heavenly visitors\, Rebekah ran to tend to the needs of Isaac’s servant\, the wife of Manoah ran to tell her husband the angel had appeared again and the boy Samuel ran to Eli when he mistook God’s voice for this aged prophet.\nWith what enthusiasm and devotion do you serve Him?

SUMMARY:"could this happen? "   [II Kings 7:2(NIV)]
DESCRIPTION:“could this happen? “.  Be careful you do not despise or question the promises of God like this servant of the King of Israel did long ago.\nIn a time of severe famine Elisha had said that tomorrow flour and barley would be plentiful. The courtier on whose arm the king leaned ridiculed the statement saying that if windows opened in heaven could this happen!\nNext day this man was killed in the stampede to get through the gate of the city and out to the tables of the Aramean (Syrian) army left laden with food when they fled in terror.\nYou may ask your friend or neighbour if something might happen but do not limit God. Seek His face\, hear His promise to you. Believe it\, act upon it\, and then see just what the Lord will do with and for those who trust Him.

SUMMARY:"Whosoever shall confess me before men"    [Luke 12:8]
DESCRIPTION:“Whosoever shall confess me before men”.  Confession need not be saying anything: it may just be standing up and being counted as a true Christian. Like nailing your colours to the mast\, it is raising the flag so that it cannot be taken down.\nOpportunities to do this are often missed. Once you have made Jesus Lord\, it should be done straight away\, and it may be done in a sentence. Sadly\, many who will sing about Jesus in their fellowship do not mention His name to those outside who need Him.\nThe reward for confessing Christ before men is great and completely out of proportion to the effort put in. Perhaps the answer is to be so filled with His love that you cannot keep quiet! Jesus says He will mention or confess our name as His disciple to His Father in heaven.

SUMMARY:"my redeemer … shall stand at the latter day upon the earth"   [Job 19:25]
DESCRIPTION:“my redeemer … shall stand at the latter day upon the earth”.  Job had a keen spiritual insight. His trouble only served to make this clearer. Divested of all he had\, Job dwelt upon the promise of God and the assurance of faith.\nJob’s anticipation may have been of Jesus at His First Advent. That was certainly an event to which Job could look forward. For him\, salvation was something yet to be effected. His description of the ‘Latter day’ and associating this in the next verse with his own resurrection\, may indicate his looking to the Second Advent of Jesus\, that will be the occasion when every eye shall see the Son of Man and when He will judge the world.\nAll men of faith have needed to receive Christ as redeemer. Only through Him can redemption be secured.

SUMMARY:"It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord" [Lamentations 3:26]
DESCRIPTION:“It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord”.  Are you chasing around trying to do it all: or frustrated because you can’t do all that you want to do?\nHave you forgotten that the Lord is the one who saves – saves your life from destruction by faith in His salvation\, saves your hours and minutes from vain activity by His counsel and guidance and saves you from loss of friends and fellowship that you so cherish.\nThis is a way that many are too busy to notice – trust in the Lord engendering hope and confidence in His promises enabling a person to quietly wait.\nWhen it’s His work there is no purpose in going ahead without Him and making it your work. Peace is the possession of those who hope and wait.

SUMMARY:"a cup of water to drink"   [Mark 9:41]
DESCRIPTION:“a cup of water to drink”.  A very small thing but it can be a life saver. Really it is not what it costs\, but how much it is needed that counts.\nA suit of clothes for a man who has none is far more valuable than the same suit to a man who already has six.\nSome only ask a cup of water\, yet we demur after counting the cost of getting it to them\, or they die of thirst while we argue over the reasons that have brought the drought upon them.\nThen you can provide any number of cups of water and help multitudes of needy folk\, whereas more expensive gifts to those who already have so much must be limited in number. The promise from the lips of Jesus is that cups of cold water to those in need and given in His Name (out of love for Him) will not be forgotten by Him or them.

SUMMARY:"For the Lamb … will be their shepherd"  [Revelation 7:17(NIV)]
DESCRIPTION:“For the Lamb … will be their shepherd”.  Here is a wonderful turn of phrase. Lambs usually need to be cared for by the shepherd\, but in the Kingdom of God it is the Lamb who becomes the shepherd. John the Baptist spoke of Christ as the ‘Lamb of God’ who would be offered as the sacrifice for sins. Jesus spoke of himself as the good shepherd who would give his life for the sheep. Both are brought together in this glimpse into the heavenly realms as Christ takes his rightful place at the centre of the throne.\nThe One who was led out to be crucified now leads the saints in safety. The One who cried ‘I thirst’ now provides springs of living water. The One who came in humility will come again in glory and triumph. Worthy is the Lamb!  [AP]

SUMMARY:"My times are in your hand"  [Psalm 31:15(RAV)]
DESCRIPTION:“My times are in your hand”.  Because we do not know what a day may bring forth\, it is reassuring to read today’s verse. Doing God’s will now is more important than trying to anticipate what tomorrow may bring. If it is a time of waiting or of preparation remember it is still of purpose in God’s plan for you.\nThere is a time for everything and the Lord wants to bring His joy into all you do. If Christ cannot be there you should not be there!\nGod’s hand is a mighty hand\, full of blessing for His People. It can guide you through life’s most difficult maze and support you when called to carry the heaviest load.\nThere is no better place to be than in the centre of His hand for it is the centre of His care and love. Put your trust in Him at all times.

SUMMARY:"everyone to whom much is given\, from him much will be required"  [Luke 12:48(RAV)]
DESCRIPTION:“everyone to whom much is given\, from him much will be required”.  Better a little well used than a lot wasted. You are more likely to get five out of five than ten out of ten so why covet the lifestyle of those who have more than you?\nGod gives His gifts knowing what is best for us\, both as regards what we can do and what needs doing. So rather than thinking what you could do with what you wish you had\, look to what the Lord has given you\, seize the opportunities that come your way and put to use all you have.   Note there are no exemptions for age\, infirmity\, accident or emergency. It is “everyone”: we are all called and honoured to serve the Lord.

SUMMARY:"let not your hands be weak"  [II Chronicles 15:7]
DESCRIPTION:“let not your hands be weak”.  These words are part of the prophesy of Azariah spoken to King Asa. They were days when ‘there was no peace to him that went out\, nor to him that came in’.  In a world of war\, disease and sorrow we are tempted to say\, ‘There is nothing I can do’. But any such feelings must not be acceded to. Weak hands can make you the weak link in a chain.\nThe Lord Who gives strength to the weak expects you to lift up those weak hands in faith knowing that His strength is made in perfect in weakness.\nIn the Lord you shall do exploits. There is an anointing whereby He places His hands upon yours. The One Who creates men out of dust can empower them by His Spirit so that no hands need ever hang limply to the side.

SUMMARY:"Who has believed our report? "    [Isaiah 53:1(RAV)]
DESCRIPTION:“Who has believed our report? “.  What Isaiah foretold in prophecy was witnessed by dwellers in Palestine 200 years later. For nearly two thousand years the followers of Jesus have born testimony to the truth of the gospel in their lives as the news has spread all around the world.\nThe Jews could not accept that their Messiah was to suffer: they looked for a king who would release them from bondage. They did not believe the report. When Jesus was to be taken and tried by the religious leaders and rulers of His day\, all forsook Him and fled.\nAt first when the report of His resurrection broke\, His own disciples were slow to believe\, one of them insisting he would only do so if he touched His body. But the truth did dawn: the glory was revealed. Isaiah’s Suffering Servant was seen to be the Saviour Jesus.

SUMMARY:"he who believes in me has everlasting life"   [John 6:47(RAV)]
DESCRIPTION:“he who believes in me has everlasting life”.  Underwritten by His own atoning death and effectively sealed by His glorious resurrection\, Jesus has no difficulty in fulfilling His promise. The deepest sinner need have no difficulty in accepting it\, for beginning with the malefactor who hung next to Him at Calvary\, men ever since have had the assurance of sin forgiven\, peace with God and eternal life through trusting Him.\nBut since the Fall in Eden\, man’s desire has never been fulfilled – until Christ appeared to put away sin\, that is. It is a basic desire of man that he shall keep alive. The faith of those who had looked forward to His Coming could now be rewarded. And all who hear and receive the message of new life in Christ can enjoy the blessed experience of the new birth which is but the beginning of this everlasting life.

SUMMARY:"and I will bless you"  [Genesis 12:2(NIV)]
DESCRIPTION:“and I will bless you”.  The Lord promised Abram that if he would leave his country\, his people and his father’s household and go to the land of which the Lord would show him\, the Lord would bless Him.\nAbram obeyed and became the father of all who exercise this faith and obedience. The Israelites became God’s chosen people and in spite of their wanderings and waywardness became the forebears of that greater nation\, the redeemed out of all tongues and people\, who would form the church or body of Christ.\nAll who would have that blessing of the Lord that makes rich and about which there is no sorrow must seek God’s face\, listen to His voice and obey. Then He will bless you.

SUMMARY:"Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient"  [John 6:7]
DESCRIPTION:“Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient”.  No! Neither is two hundred thousand pennyworth\, nor all the bread from all the bakeries in the land enough\, if mankind is to be truly fed! For\, man shall not live by bread alone. But give these people Jesus and all their needs will soon be met. A miracle to satisfy today’s hunger is wonderful\, but Jesus satisfies the depths of the soul\, and that is greater still.\nSome of the relief operations to needy parts are miracles in themselves as food and provisions are collected\, then conveyed by ‘giant birds’ to the stricken areas. But humanitarian aid is not sufficient. The souls of men must be fed. Fed\, but add to this the bread of the Gospel.\nAre you telling others of the place where burdens are lifted and sin is washed away?

SUMMARY:"Ill-gotten treasures are of no value"  [Proverbs 10:2(NIV)]
DESCRIPTION:“Ill-gotten treasures are of no value”.  It is not what value your treasure is on the open market\, but how you acquired it. This may be something that only you and God know. Because of the importance attached to how we acquire what we have\, the proverb goes on to say that righteousness delivers from death. And since we have to leave all our treasure behind when we die\, the attainment of right or righteousness in the sight of God becomes of paramount importance.\nIt is not just a matter of collecting\, but of collecting what is of real value and as Jesus taught us of laying up or transferring treasure to heaven.\nJesus went about doing good as He proclaimed the gospel. We need to do the same. Deal in eternal things today!

SUMMARY:"How many loaves do you have? "  [Mark 8:5(NIV)]
DESCRIPTION:“How many loaves do you have? “.  With this question\, Jesus turns the whole perspective on the situation around. Instead of looking at what they hadn’t got\, as the disciples were doing\, Jesus looks at what they have got. Jesus hadn’t actually asked the disciples to provide the bread. He’d simply shared his concern for the people. But instead of asking how they could help\, the disciples\, like many of us\, could only see the difficulties. Jesus saw the opportunity.\nJesus longs to use what you and I do have to encourage our faith\, to bring blessing to others and to be a part of what He wants to do. Rather than looking at the problems and difficulties\, see the opportunities and offer what you have and are in service to the Lord today.    [AP]
