Revelation 22:3 – “And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him.” Today’s devotional in both the Old and New Testament talks about the subject of curse. In Malachi 3 God tells His people that they are under …
Malachi 2:13-16 “And this is the second thing you do: you cover the altar of the Lord with tears, with weeping and crying; so He does not regard the offering anymore, nor receive it with goodwill from your hands.

Revelation 20:12-15 “And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead who were …
Revelation 19:11-14 “Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. 12 His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one …

Psalm 144:3 – “Lord, what is man, that You take knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that You are mindful of him?” David is amazed that God would take knowledge of us given our brevity of life here on earth and God’s greatness, strength and great wonders. How could God possibly think of …
Zechariah 6:15 – “Even those from afar shall come and build the temple of the Lord. Then you shall know that the Lord of hosts has sent Me to you. And this shall come to pass if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God.” God had given the people a promise concerning …
Zechariah 4:6 – “So he answered and said to me: ‘This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the Lord of hosts.’” Zerubbabel is the secular head of Israel’s repatriated community and in this chapter is prophesied over to finish the rebuilding of …
Psalm 141:3 – “See a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips.” WORDS…man, they can get you into trouble! But there is help for those of us who have had this recurring thought, “I shouldn’t have said that.” Loose Lips Sink Ships. That phrase was coined in the …
