Proverbs 9:10 – “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” Many times in scripture we are told not to fear. Fear can be crippling and debilitating. But our text today encourages us to fear…to fear the Lord. The word “fear” means “reverence.” If we …
NON-STOP Psalm 34:1 – “I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.” Psalm 34 is a tremendous Psalm. Half of it is today’s reading and the other half is tomorrow’s reading (I highly recommend you reading the entire Psalm at one sitting!). I want to highlight 4 …
PUT A STOP TO IT Exodus 34:5-7 “Now the Lord descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord. 6 And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, ‘The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth, 7 keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity …
MOVE ON Exodus 33:1 – “Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Depart and go up from here, you and the people whom you have brought out of the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, ‘To your descendants I will give it.’” One of the biggest …

THE LEAST OF THESE Matthew 25:40 – “And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’” The final judgment and the separation between eternal punishment and eternal life (v.46) is decided …
Exodus 27:20 – “And you shall command the children of Israel that they bring you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to cause the lamp to burn continually.” Matthew 25:1-4 “Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2Now …
Psalm 30:5 – “For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” The contrast in length between anger and favor is amazing. I’m so glad the long one is favor! As is anger and favor, so is weeping and …
Matthew 24:12 – “And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.” This chapter (Matthew 24) is full of end-time instructions to the disciples by Jesus.
