Today’s Meditation Click to read: Psalm 136:25 Why else should we give God thanks?  Look at your plate.  I don’t care if you are at a restaurant, and the waiter has messed up your order.  It doesn’t matter if you are having leftovers for the fourth day (and by this time, they ‘stinketh’).  Thank God that you have food. Without food, you die.  Without food, you don’t have energy to act, to live, to think, to be. Don’t … Read entire article »

Today’s Meditation Click to read: Psalm 136:24 I don’t know anyone on the list who has personally experienced human slavery to a great degree.  When the terms ‘slave’ and ‘master’ come to mind, we often substitute the words ’employee’ and ’employer.’  They’re hardly the same.  An employee goes home at the end of a job and lives in freedom for the rest of the day or week. Slaves never got to do that.  They were slaves 24x7x365.25.  … Read entire article »

Today’s Meditation Click to read: Psalm 136:23 A friend in need is a friend indeed.  It takes years sometimes to find out who your real friends are.  Sadly, some people are only friends during prosperity and leave when the dry season hits.  Not very many people care to be known as a friend to the down and out. God, however, is different. Ponder the words in your mind.  God remembered us when we were down and out.  God … Read entire article »

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 »
