Today’s Meditation Click to read: Psalm 136:21-22 Another benefit that came from the battle with Sihon and Og was land.  We always want to spiritualize things.  However, if you look at the Old Testament, God was so concerned with giving land to His people.  He created dry land, planted a garden and gave it to Adam and Eve as a stewardship.  He promised Abraham land.  He brought Israel out of Egypt back into “the land.”  So much … Read entire article »

Today’s Meditation Click to read: Psalm 136:17-20 Who is Og?  Who is Sihon?  These names don’t mean a lot to us now, but in their time, these were very famous kings, powerful kings who ruled a fair amount of land.  Sihon and Og are examples of those who would oppose the people of God as they are attempting to follow God in their journey.  Israel was on a direct course, and in Numbers 21:21ff, they asked permission … Read entire article »

Today’s Meditation Click to read: Psalm 136:16 We have all had dry times in our lives.  You know, these are times when it seems that nothing new or exciting is happening, the times when our walk with God seems to be more work than relationship. With Israel, this was a real wilderness fraught with the dangers that come from such a place.  There were wild animals.  There was a blazing hot sun.  There was cold desert weather … Read entire article »

Today’s Meditation Click to read: Psalm 136:14-15 The book of Romans asks, “If God be for us, who can be against us?”  This passage is a good example of that, and it is yet another reason why we should give God thanks.  The same event which marked salvation for the people of God became the destruction of their enemies.  After opening up the Red Sea, the children of Israel still had to do something.  They had to … Read entire article »

Today’s Meditation Click to read: Psalm 136:13 What great lengths God will go to when His people need help!  Here before the Israelites lay the sea, large, deep, wet and threatening. On either side were mountains, and behind them were their enemies, threatening them one last time.  They felt cut off.  Their feelings, however, were lying to them. God had chosen the path for them to bring them to this point.  He wanted His people to know that … Read entire article »

Today’s Meditation Click to read: Psalm 136:11-12 Another reason for us to give thanks unto God is that He has delivered us from our enemies.  We are no longer held in oppression or bondage.  Not only that, when God delivered Israel, He took them out from among them.  The Israelites not only were free, but they also did not have to look at the faces of their former captors.  The emotional struggle which comes from such confrontation … Read entire article »

Today’s Meditation Click to read: Psalm 136:10 Give thanks to God, because His mercy endures forever, because He killed somebody…  WHAT?  If you are not reading simply to hear your head roar, this verse has to make you stop and wonder what is going on.  But there it is:  God smote the firstborn of Egypt, for His mercy endures forever.  I’m not so sure that the Egyptians would have been singing in harmony on this one. But that … Read entire article »

Today’s Meditation Click to read: Psalm 136:7-9 Have you ever been forced to dwell in a dimly lit room for any length of time?  A relative in our family had some bulbs in their house which were of the 15 to 25 watt variety.  In most homes nowadays those are known as night lights, and if you are not used to living around that, it can stress you out to try to read or find the toilet … Read entire article »

Today’s Meditation Click to read: Psalm 136:6 When we look at this scripture, there are two ways of viewing this. Either the psalmist is simply speaking of the fact that God made dry land (which is good for us since we live on it), or he is speaking by inspiration thousands of years before scientists really grasped that the continents themselves are massive floating chunks which slowly move.  No matter which idea you choose, God is to … Read entire article »

Today’s Meditation Click to read: Psalm 1:2 What do you stay up late for?  For some people, their late night pasttime is playing computer games until the wee hours of the morning.  Other people watch TV programs ranging from sports to talk shows.  Some people stay up late for the sake of sheer anxiety. But some people stay up late at night to think about the Word of God. Have you ever done that?  Have you ever just … Read entire article »
