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 »

Today’s Meditation Click to read: Psalm 1:2 So what’s a person to do? Does God simply take all the “fun” out of life? The person spoken of here does not do any of the things that sinful men would describe as fun. Does that mean he lacks fun? Not at all. God replaces sinful and morally degrading pleasure with true joys. He is able to take a man’s heart and make it a heart that takes pleasure … Read entire article »

Today’s Meditation Click to read: Psalm 1:1 How blessed are you? There are a lot of ways that we count blessings. Sometimes we count our material possessions. Sometimes we count our health. But how about your friendships? This verse says that a person is blessed according to the type of person he hangs around. Now I know that we often look at this verse and say, “BECAUSE this man does not hang around the ungodly, he is … Read entire article »
