Today’s Meditation Click to read: Psalm 1:4 The first look at the life of the ungodly is in comparing them to chaff. In the time of harvest, the reapers go out and gather all the grain they possibly can.  Then they bring that grain back to the barns where it is taken to the threshing floor.  At the threshing floor, the kernel of wheat is separated from ALL else that was part of the wheat as it … Read entire article »

Today’s Meditation Click to read: Psalm 1:4 The Bible is full of stark contrasts.  In fact, God knows that this is one of the ways that we humans learn best.  Try to describe the color white, and you might run into trouble.  Put white opposite black, and you can clearly point out the differences.  In this psalm, God wants us to understand clearly that there are big differences between those who delight themselves in His law and … Read entire article »

Today’s Meditation Click to read: Psalm 1:3 The last part of this verse amazes me so much.  People often wonder what they should do in life with regards to occupation or profession.  This verse makes it clear that if you delight yourself in the law of God, you can do anything and prosper.  OK.  Perhaps that offends someone.  But I didn’t write it.  God did.  Read it again. It will set you free. Instead of cowering in fear … Read entire article »

Today’s Meditation Click to read: Psalm 1:3 One of those sights which provokes sadness in a universal way is the picture of a field full of crops which have been blighted by drought.  Just recently I tried to transplant some vegetables which were not growing in the proper place.  After moving them, I gave them water and felt I had been careful.  The next day, I returned home from work to find all of the transplants wilted.  … Read entire article »

Today’s Meditation Click to read: Psalm 136:26 Finally, this psalm reminds us that we should be thankful to God because of His perspective.  He is, after all, the God of heaven.  His viewpoint is complete.  His understanding lacks nothing.  He is not simply a deity over a small portion of all that exists.  No, we are stewards over small matters, and at best we struggle with fulfilling our jobs perfectly.  But He is the God of the … Read entire article »

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 »
