SUMMARY:"do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live"  [Deuteronomy 4:9(NIV)]
DESCRIPTION:“do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live”.  If this injunction was needed for the Israelite in the Old Testament\, it is certainly needed by the follower of Jesus today.\nJesus described His followers as fools and slow of heart more than once and chided them for forgetting what He had taught them and their experiences with Him in the past.\nThe only sure way to not let the lessons of the past slip is to rehearse them and thank the Lord for them.\nIf you’re for ever praising Him for bringing you thus far\, you’ll be convinced of His power to keep you and your trust in Him will be firm and sure. Enjoy the blessings of the past and with expectancy look to an even more blessed future. Rejoice in the Lord always.

SUMMARY:"now he commands all men everywhere to repent"  [Acts 17:30(RAV)]
DESCRIPTION:“now he commands all men everywhere to repent”.  We are so lethargic that God needs do more than provide a way of escape\, He must command us to take it! This he does and commands all men everywhere to repent; to turn from their evil ways and look to the Lord. We must behave responsibly with the life He has given us. It is to us that God is speaking today and it is our lives that carry responsibility.\nWe need to repent if we would be free from the failure and purposeless existence outside Christ. God offers eternal life – beginning now – to those who will repent. He has provided a way of salvation whereby whoever will may be saved from the consequences of sin. God has appointed a day when He will judge the world in righteousness. Man must stop\, assess his position\, turn to God in repentance if he will be saved at last.

SUMMARY:"The midwives … let the boys live"    [Exodus 1:17(NIV)]
DESCRIPTION:“The midwives … let the boys live”.  The Hebrew midwives\, Shiphrah and Puah\, feared God and recognised that the command of Pharaoh to kill all baby boys born to the Israelites was evil.\nThey did not do as the king commanded\, but found a way round the dilemma. They encouraged the Hebrew mothers to have their babies before they arrived\, or delayed their arrival until after the delivery! The important thing was that they let the boys live and later thousands of the young Hebrew men who left Egypt for the Promised Land owed their lives to these two brave and resourceful women.\nIn every generation there have been those despots who sought to thwart the plan of God. But the Lord has had His servants who have recognised the evil intended. We can thank God for all who take their stand against evil men.

SUMMARY:"Even the dogs eat the crumbs"  [Matthew 15:27(NIV)]
DESCRIPTION:“Even the dogs eat the crumbs”.  Here was a lady who accepted her position but was not afraid to ask. Jesus’ ministry was primarily amongst the Jews\, so Gentiles\, like this woman\, were ‘outsiders’.\nBy emphasising this fact\, Jesus not only gives the woman an opportunity to express her faith but also gives Himself\, the Christ\, the opportunity to demonstrate His love for all. The woman is happy for ‘crumbs’ from Jesus knowing that ‘crumbs’ will be enough for the needs of her daughter.\nAn experience of Jesus in your life and mine is not dependent on being one of the ‘in’ crowd or having religious pedigree. It’s simply dependent on the mercy of Christ and our boldness to come to Him in faith.

SUMMARY:"Wait\, my daughter\, until you find out what happens"   [Ruth 3:18(NIV)]
DESCRIPTION:“Wait\, my daughter\, until you find out what happens”.  Other translations say “Sit still” – the most difficult thing to do when you’re excited and wanting to get things moving. But it was sound advice that Naomi gave to her daughter-in-law.\nIt was almost too good to be true that the nobleman Boaz would take this refugee Moabitess to be his wife. Yet if God was in it\, there was no problem.\nGod’s plan is exciting for your life if you will surrender it to Him. It is often something that unfolds a little at a time as in the love match between Ruth and Boaz.\nThere is no need to rush ahead: sometimes you do better to sit still and see just what is happening. As your life is in His hand\, you will see it happen all in good time.

SUMMARY:"those who are … unstable twist"  [II Peter 3:16(RAV)]
DESCRIPTION:“those who are … unstable twist”.  The Apostle Peter refers to things in Paul’s Epistles which are hard to understand. These references were not made in any derogatory manner but as a warning to those who twist Scriptures for their own use.\nThe danger is that when we find something we do not like in the Bible we turn it around to mean something that better suits our thinking or conforms to some special revelation we think we have. Our great need is for the Holy Spirit to illumine those things we find difficult to understand. Rather than make the hard verse fit into what you already believe\, why not ask the Holy Spirit to reveal some new blessing He has for you from the Word of God today?\nWhatever you do\, don’t change the meaning – twisting Scripture is only done to the destruction of the soul.

SUMMARY:"he went up to the temple of the Lord and spread it out before the Lord"  [Isaiah 37:14(NIV)]
DESCRIPTION:“he went up to the temple of the Lord and spread it out before the Lord”.  Hezekiah’s example is a good one to follow. He was a godly king and used to praying to the Lord and when Sennacherib\, King of Assyria sent a threatening and frightening letter to say he was about to attack\, it is not surprising to find that Hezekiah turned to the Lord.\nNote that he laid the letter before the Lord. The Lord knew all about it\, but by doing this Hezekiah was able to lay his concern before the Lord.\nDon’t hesitate to tell the Lord everything that is in your heart. Go into detail even though you realise God knows all about the matter. The Lord delights to share the needs of His children and He may allow us to be apprehensive because it makes us plead the case before Him.

SUMMARY:"Blessed is every one who fears the Lord"   [Psalm 128:1(RAV)]
DESCRIPTION:“Blessed is every one who fears the Lord”.  “Everyone blessed” is a sweeping statement\, but it is true. Whoever places the God of the whole earth in His rightful place must know blessing. To expect enduring blessing without Him is folly.\nExalt Him: Extol His mighty Name in your heart\, experience Him in your life and blessing will be yours. Seek His face\, hear His voice\, desire to do His will and untold blessing will flow. Hardship and difficulty may continue: sorrow and turmoil cross your path\, but the blessing that flows from His Presence within will carry you through all that life brings.\nYou will have an anointing from above that will carry you forward in His will and make you see fruit for His glory. It is blessing indeed to all who fear the Lord.

SUMMARY:"narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life"   [Matthew 7:14(RAV)]
DESCRIPTION:“narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life”.  A man must humble himself if he would enter the gate.\nOnce sin is confessed and forgiven and Jesus is in His rightful place as Lord\, there can be no sitting back at ease. All hell may be loosed to get the Child of God back into the devil’s camp again. Add to this the fact that the Christian life is an upward climb all the way and you will see that “difficult” is no overstatement. Yet neither the narrowness of the gate nor the difficulty of the way need deter the one who would attain life.\nThe gate is not too narrow for the Holy Spirit to lead you through it\, neither is the way so difficult that the strength of the Lord cannot sustain you in it. Whoever will may come. Those who come He does not turn away. Once on the way\, eternal life is yours in Christ.

SUMMARY:"children of the promise"  [Romans 9:8(NIV)]
DESCRIPTION:“children of the promise”.  This is what we have become through faith in Jesus Christ. God promised Abraham that “through your offspring all the nations of the earth will be blessed.”\nIn and through the work of Christ\, the blessing is now available to all. In Christ we have become children of God and now share in the eternal promises given to Abraham.\nThis is not for a worldly inheritance that will fade and perish but for a place in the new heaven and earth. It’s a promise that still stands and is secure in Christ. It will be fulfilled when Jesus comes again.\nUntil then\, let us be sure to live as ‘children of the promise.’

SUMMARY:"and great will be your children's peace"  [Isaiah 54:13(NIV)]
DESCRIPTION:“and great will be your children’s peace”.  This chapter in the prophecy of Isaiah describes the future glory of Zion\, the city of God. Those journeying there should not be afraid – they will not suffer shame. They should not fear disgrace and will not be humiliated.\nIt is the Holy One of Israel who is their Redeemer\, the Creator of all things\, the Almighty One whose word is pledged for you. With everlasting kindness He will have compassion on them and His love for them be unfailing.\nThe city will be built with stones of turquoise\, its battlements will be rubies\, its gates sparkling pearls and its walls precious stones. Best of all\, their sons will be taught in the Lord and great will be their children’s peace. Comforting indeed in a world of strife.

SUMMARY:"the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man"    [Titus 3:4]
DESCRIPTION:“the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man”.  Where can greater love be found than in God so loving the world that He gave His Only Son?\nThe object of that loving kindness was rebellious and unlovely. Even now most of those on whom this love was expended are disinterested in what God has done for them.\nChrist dying for our sins was but the beginning of a caring and loving that would protect and guide those who would respond.\nGod’s love for His children must be the wonder of the hosts of heaven. It never ceases to amaze those who reach out in faith and receive it. The kindness and love of God reaches the very depth of one’s being. The blessing you may experience today is but the beginning – the day is coming when we shall bathe in its eternal fullness.

SUMMARY:"set your affection on things above"    [Colossians 3:2]
DESCRIPTION:“set your affection on things above”.  There is so much to attract below that it needs a conscious effort to do this! Our world is so full of fascinating things which\, while not evil in themselves\, detract from the things of God.\nFascinations\, obsessions and desires that are not of the Lord need pulling out like weeds from our garden if we would please the Lord.\nThis only happens when you set your affection in the right place. The Bible tells us not to love the world because it wants us to love the Lord. You cannot serve both – if you try you will hate one and love the other.\nFall in love with the Lord and enjoy a life in the Spirit and claim the promises that God has given you.

SUMMARY:"women who work hard in the Lord"     [Romans 16:12(NIV)]
DESCRIPTION:“women who work hard in the Lord”.  This is not about whether you go out to work or not. It’s not about getting status from a job title or how much you earn. This is work that is done ‘in the Lord’ – based on a relationship with Christ. Hard work involves effort\, sacrifice\, even struggle. What makes it worthwhile is that it is done ‘in the Lord.’ Paul encourages the Church in Corinth with the words ‘you know that your labour in the Lord is not in vain.’  Whether working for a secular or Christian business\, whether helping the local church or helping family and friends\, our love for Jesus and desire to honour Him should motivate us to work hard ‘as unto the Lord.’ Irrespective of what reward we get on earth\, a reward is waiting in heaven.

SUMMARY:"He touched her hand and the fever left her"    [Matthew 8:15]
DESCRIPTION:“He touched her hand and the fever left her”.  Fever rages in many today.\n     The fever of frustration – trying so hard yet never seeming to get there.\n     The fever of human effort – demanding we put all we have into it yet gaining nothing of eternal value.\n     The fever of passion and of evil desire – a fever that can rise to great pitch if left unchecked.\n     The fever or fire of temptation – its temperature is so hot.\n     Suffering the fever of persecution and animosity against the children of God.\nBut the touch of the Lord will dispel all these and many more. Don’t let Peter’s mother-in-law be the only one to benefit. If you’re running one of these fevers\, it’s the touch of the Lord you need.

SUMMARY:"The Lord has done great things for us"  [Psalm 126:3(RAV)]
DESCRIPTION:“The Lord has done great things for us”.  Often at the time\, God’s plan and purpose was obscure – you did not recognise just what He was doing. But now you can see things in better perspective. You are enjoying today the fruit of God’s blessing upon your life in days past.\nThe way He called you out of sin’s darkness: the way He calls to you day by day in loving guidance and fellowship. These are great things.  That He has given you great and precious promises in His Word which you may prove as you exercise the gift of faith. This is a great thing.  The fact that He has gone ahead\, preparing the way and preparing to receive you into His eternal Kingdom.\nThese and the myriad other “greats” the Lord has done for us make us glad.

SUMMARY:"you have put all my sins behind your back"    [Isaiah 38:17(NIV)]
DESCRIPTION:“you have put all my sins behind your back”.  Hezekiah had just been granted an extension to his life after God had told him to put his house in order because he was about to die. He had been very distressed about this and pleaded his case before the Lord. And the Lord confirmed by a miracle that Hezekiah’s prayer had been heard. The shadow on Hezekiah’s sundial went back ten steps.\nHezekiah\, though a godly king\, was sinful as we all are\, and he was told that God had put all his sins behind His back. Today we know that to be gloriously real when we confess our sin and receive the forgiveness made possible by the death of Jesus on the cross. This is a truth that lifts the burden from the spirit.

DESCRIPTION:“I want to encourage you”.  What a lovely expression! How we should all be seeking to do this\, one to the other! Here are some ways in which we may encourage our brothers and sisters:\n     take a genuine interest in their situation\n     tell them you appreciate what they are doing\n     assure them you’re praying for them\, talk positively with them\n     tell them about others who have won through\n     be an overcomer in the Lord yourself and help them to do the same\n     pick them up when they’re down\, put them right when they’re wrong and do it all in true brotherly love\n     be ready to sacrifice something in order to help them\n     show them from the Scriptures the goodness of the Lord.

SUMMARY:"I am a woman who is deeply troubled"    [I Samuel 1:15(NIV)]
DESCRIPTION:“I am a woman who is deeply troubled”.  Hannah was disturbed in spirit because God had shut her womb and prayer did not seem to be having any effect. So she sets us the good example of continuing more fervently in prayer rather than giving up praying.\nFurthermore\, her fervent prayer was misunderstood by the priest Eli who thought she was drunk since her lips moved but no voice was heard.\nYet God heard her prayer and the fact that she was made to wait and prayed the more intently caused her to make the promise that her son would be wholly given to the Lord.   And we all know how God blessed Samuel whom she gave to serve the Lord.\nLet your deep trouble drive you to the Lord.

SUMMARY:"Peace\, be still"  [Mark 4:39]
DESCRIPTION:“Peace\, be still”.  There are really two statements in these words of Jesus as He stood among the frightened disciples in a storm.\nPeace – that is His Name – Prince of Peace. He challenged the fear that had gripped His disciples. In that boat with Jesus was the safest place they could be. “Peace” was spoken to their troubled hearts and it is Christ’s word to you today.\n“Be still” – that was the command to the raging sea. We can understand that the devil saw to it that the storm was the fiercest the disciples had seen. Jesus turned storm into calm – wind and waves had to obey Him.\nWe can be at peace in the storm when Christ is with us. A hostile environment changes at His word of command.

SUMMARY:"the people sat down to eat and to drink and rose up to play"   [Exodus 32:6]
DESCRIPTION:p>“the people sat down to eat and to drink and rose up to play”.  Aaron proclaimed it a feast to the Lord but it was idolatry. When worship becomes eating\, drinking and playing it becomes idolatry. True worship is both happy and deeply satisfying\, but it is not hilarity or play.\nGod was graciously real to the Children of Israel and worked miraculously on their behalf bringing them out of the bondage of Egypt. Yet when Moses ascended Mount Sinai to receive the Law\, the Israelites turned to idolatry in a way one could hardly imagine. And they made the worship of an idol made from their earrings a most festive occasion.\nTheir behaviour reminds us that happiness and a good time are not enough. What is important is whether our conduct pleases the Lord.

SUMMARY:"taken up dead"   [Acts 20:9]
DESCRIPTION:“taken up dead”.  The unforeseen happens\, our circumstances change\, things are no longer the same and what we knew as something very much alive we take up as something dead. We begin a new project but it dies on us; nothing we can do will revive it – we take it up\, but it’s dead. What was going so well we now have to say is as good as dead. This can be the experience of any one of us.\nWas it negligence on Eutychus’ part that he was asleep and fell? Should those responsible for the seating have moved him away from the window? But what use an enquiry when we think he’s dead? Thank God the miracle of resuscitation took place as Paul embraced him. And in God’s providence what you think has died on you can come alive and you can start praising again today.

SUMMARY:"fear the Lord your God … walk in all his ways … love him … serve the Lord your God … with all your soul"    [Deuteronomy 10:12(RAV)]
DESCRIPTION:“fear the Lord your God … walk in all his ways … love him … serve the Lord your God … with all your soul”.  With these words God commands His People through the words of Moses today.\n    Fear – an appreciation and respect for who He is and worship and honour given to His Mighty Name.\n    Walk in His ways – seeking His will in your life and then conforming to the plan He has for you.\n    Love Him – a love resulting from His great love for us. A poor yet sincere reflection of Divine Love.\n    Serve the Lord – recognise that once a believer\, you are a serving member of the Body of Christ.\n    With all your soul – complete commitment and dedication.

SUMMARY:"seeing him who is invisible"   [Hebrews 11:27]
DESCRIPTION:“seeing him who is invisible”.  This is a paradox that only those who have the experience can understand. Those listed in this great faith chapter knew about it and so do those who have exercised faith in the promise of God.\nThere is an unseen hand guiding the affairs of history. More important is God working unseen through Christ and bestowing His gift of eternal life on those who have the assurance of sin forgiven\, peace with God and a home in heaven.\nThe seeing is done by the eye of faith. The reality of it has sent the disciples of Jesus proclaiming the gospel message far and wide.\nThe day cannot be far away when faith’s eye becomes heavenly sight and we see Jesus face to face.

SUMMARY:"According to your faith be it unto you"    [Matthew 9:29]
DESCRIPTION:“According to your faith be it unto you”.  The two blind men were vociferous in their appeal for mercy and their cries caused them to be brought before Him. But they were to learn it was not then up to Jesus: their healing was as much up to them.\nJesus asked if they believed He was able to restore their sight. They said they did. Jesus then touched their eyes and gave them opportunity to demonstrate their faith. He made it clear to them that it was their faith that unlocked His mighty power.\nThings have not changed. We need faith to triumph in Christ and it is our faith that overcomes the pull of the world. God’s mighty power is available in our lives today. But we need to connect up with the divine supply – it is according to our faith the Lord works.

SUMMARY:"who changes rocks into pools of water and solid cliffs into flowing springs"   [Psalm 114:8(GNB)]
DESCRIPTION:“who changes rocks into pools of water and solid cliffs into flowing springs”.  Our verse lists rocks becoming pools of water and cliffs flowing springs\, no doubt alluding to water flowing from the rock when Israel journeyed through the wilderness. One cannot imagine any two more opposites than flint stone and running water.\nThe Children of Israel’s journeyings through the desert to the Promised Land are a picture of the disciple’s pilgrimage through this world. In our journeyings we come against rock-like obstacles. Our prayer often seems directed towards the moving of mountains.\nBut the God of Jacob has not changed. He provides for His children\, often waiting until their cry is urgent and the opportunity one that displays His mighty power – even turning a forbidding rock into a refreshing pool.

SUMMARY:"these men had been with Jesus"   [Acts 4:13(NIV)]
DESCRIPTION:“these men had been with Jesus”.  Not only had they been with Him\, but they had become like Jesus. They had caught something of the power and authority that Jesus was known to have – something of Him had rubbed off on them.\nThose who attempt to live up to the demands of the gospel without having met with the Lord are lifeless by comparison. Jesus shone out in all that Peter and John said and did.\nThere was no need to debate whether Jesus was alive. All that was needed was to look at the disciples. Their prosecutors may have liked to think that they only met Him before He was crucified. But the events surrounding the healing of the crippled man pointed to Jesus living in these men by the Holy Spirit. So\, today\, it is meeting with Jesus that makes all the difference.

SUMMARY:"Take careful heed to yourselves"   [Deuteronomy 4:15(RAV)]
DESCRIPTION:“Take careful heed to yourselves”.  The Lord leading and protecting His people for 40 years in the desert did not absolve them from responsibility\, neither was God’s care any excuse for them to be careless.\nThe Israelite’s experience was not unique. We who claim to be disciples need to take heed these many years later. A Bible full of promises that the Israelites never knew and a Holy Spirit sent by the Father to fill and guide all who seek Him still does not diminish the need for care.\nIf the spiritual plane onto which we are lifted in Christ is higher than anything found in the Old Testament\, we have further to fall and need to take more care than ever.\nThe care alluded to is that of making the Lord our God and allowing no other to be the object of our worship and adoration.

SUMMARY:"be clear minded and self-controlled so that you can pray"    [I Peter 4:7(NIV)]
DESCRIPTION:“be clear minded and self-controlled so that you can pray”.  No good being taken up with an hundred and one other things if you want to be effective in prayer. You must be able to put out all the hindrances and temptations if you would wrestle in prayer with God.\nIf\, like the church in John Mark’s house\, you would pray Peter out of prison you must pray non-stop. If\, like Elijah\, your prayer is to shut up the heavens and then open them again\, you must know what you are about and then exercise implicit faith that the Lord both hears and answers prayer.\nWhen you’re clear it’s salvation you want you take a hold of yourself and cry “Lord save me”. When it’s help\, enlightenment\, or any divine undertaking and you recognise your need\, you can pray believing and see God answer.

SUMMARY:"salvation has come to this house"    [Luke 19:9(NIV)]
DESCRIPTION:“salvation has come to this house”.  We are not told what happened other than Jesus stayed there with Zacchaeus. He was a seeking soul and it is therefore not surprising that he found salvation in this Friend of Sinners.\nThat Jesus included “this house” suggests that the others in the family trusted Christ\, too. They recognised they were lost and trusted Jesus to save them. For them\, receiving Christ meant looking forward by faith to the salvation soon to be effected on the cross.\nThis salvation experience did not evaporate when Jesus left. It was not an imagination but a blessed experience soon to be experienced by many. Start praying and keep praying that for your whole household.
