Devotional And a man shall be as an hiding-place from the wind and a covert from the tempest. — Isaiah 32:2 Who this MAN is we all know. Who could He be but the Second Man, the Lord from Heaven, the Man of sorrows, the Son of Man? What a hiding-place He has [...]

Devotional “Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.” (Psalm 37:4) Psalm 37 provides cures for the fretting (Hebrew charah, “anger”) that comes in a spiritual battle.

Devotional “This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.” James 3:15 True wisdom is “from above” and is “pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy” (v. 17). False wisdom, on the other hand, may come from the [...]
Devotional “Rejoice in the Lord alway.” - Philippians 4:4 Paul was growing old. The sufferings he had experienced had certainly taken their toll.
