Luke 2:4 – “And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David).” (KJV) Today’s New Testament devotional of course is the story of the journey of the holy family to …
Numbers 23:20 – “Behold, I have a received a commandment to bless: and He hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.” Balak (king of Moab) is very insecure because Israel is near his borders and he has heard about Israel’s recent victories over kings Sihon and Og. He tries to hire the prophet Balaam to …
Psalm 57:4 – “My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.” (KJV) This psalm was written by David when he was fleeing from Saul. He is being pursued wrongfully and …

Numbers 13:31-33 “But the men who had gone up with him said, ‘We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.’ 32And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, ‘The land through which we have gone as …
Psalm 51:16-19 “For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it; You do not delight in burnt offering. 17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and a contrite heart—these, O God, You will not despise. 18 Do good in Your good pleasure to Zion; build the walls of Jerusalem. …
