WORD STUDY – DAVID’S SPIRITUAL SECRET
Psalms 16:1-2 “Michtam of David. Keep me, O God; for I have taken refuge in Thee. I have said unto the Lord: ‘Thou art my Lord; I have no good but in Thee.’” The word michtam is a transliteration from the Hebrew and literally means from gold or from the...
WORD STUDY – REJOICE WITH TREMBLING
Psalms 2:11: “Serve the Lord with fear and rejoice with trembling. Do you realize there are over 16 words in the Hebrew for rejoice or joy. How many words do we have in English for joy? Whatever is important in a culture is reflected in the language. ...
WORD STUDY – BETROTHED TO JESUS
Hosea 2:19, “And I will betroth thee unto me forever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.” There is much talk among Christians today of being the bride of Christ and being married to...
WORD STUDY – A SELFISH GOD
Proverbs 16:4 “The LORD hath made all [things] for himself. From first reading of this passage it would appear that God is a very selfish God. But then the word selfish tends to carry a negative connotation. There is a positive spin on selfishness. Do we not...
WORD STUDY – FEAR NOT
Isaiah 41:12-13, “Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, [even] them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought. For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help...
WORD STUDY – ONCE YOUNG BUT NOW OLD
Psalms 37:25: “I have been young and am now old, but I have never seen the righteous forsaken.” Today feels like one of those days that I am being struck down (but not destroyed – II Corinthians 4:9) but still struck down on all fronts. It was just one of those...
WORD STUDY – DELIGHTING IN GOD
Psalm 37:3-4 “Trust in the Lord and do good, dwell in the land and cherish faithfulness. So shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and He shall give you the desires of your heart.” “Dwell in the land…” Does that not go without...
WORD STUDY – SHELTERED IN THE HEART OF GOD
Psalm 139:5: “Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.” I suppose you could translate this verse a number of ways. What I find interesting in this verse is the word for beset which is sur. As a noun this is what Moses struck to get...
WORD STUDY – PEACE IS YOUR UMPIRE
Psalms 120:2: “Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.” At first reading it appears that the writer is saying: “Lord make those gossiping about me shut up, punch ‘em in the mouth.” But upon closer examination, the writer is not...
WORD STUDY – BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER
John 15:12-14, “ This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.” I was reading in the Aramaic Bible...
