“Through You we repel our foes; through Your name we trample our enemies” (Ps 44:5, BSB). Looking closer at this massive monster, the Lord gives Job, and the rest of us, a lesson in Leviathan’s anatomy (Job 41:12-24). God says he will not “conceal” or be uncommunicative about “his limbs, his mighty power, or his graceful proportions” (v 12). Here […]
“When you pray, say…” (Lk 11:2). Pre-approved. That’s the word used to describe someone who is promised a certain amount of credit in advance. Pre-approved loans or credit cards are offered to consumers so they can do business with the confidence that the money will be available. But wait! Imagine if we had pre-approved prayers! […]
“This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you” (Ex 12:2). As a new year begins, may we enter fully into the high privilege of our relationship in the Lord Jesus Christ. “You also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual […]
We won’t be overwhelmed by the Dragon’s bullying if we overcome by the Lamb’s blood (Rev 12:11).

CHRIST the WAITING ONE: “The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, till…” (Ps 110:1; Mt 22:44). As a fitting conclusion to our 366-day study of Christ, we conclude with a poem by George Weissel, written in 1642. Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates! Behold, the King of glory waits; The […]
“He who testifies to these things says, ‘Surely I am coming quickly.’ Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!” (Rev 22:20). Here is the last prayer in the Bible. Paul wrote, “The time is short” (1 Cor 7:29). Knowing the times we live in, and the certainty of His return, how should we respond? On May […]
“We desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises” (Heb 6:11-12). “A continual looking forward to the eternal world is not (as some modern people think) a […]
God says, “Behold, I am against you…O great monster who lies in the midst of his rivers” (Ezek 29:3). Le-vi’-a-than is a transliterated Hebrew word (liwyathan) from lawah, meaning “twisted” or “coiled.” Leviathan is mentioned in the Bible six times, and there’s more at stake than simply a large sea creature during earth’s earliest ages. In Job 3:8, […]
