Come!Isaiah 55:1-13 “As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater…” We have all been brought up to believe that there is no such thing …

THIS IS THE HERITAGE OF THE SERVANTS OF THE LORDIsaiah 54:1-17 “For your Maker is your husband—the Lord Almighty is his name—the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; he is called the God of all the earth.” It is quite amazing, really, that God would commit himself to Israel as a husband to his …

JUDGEMENT AND LOVEJeremiah 32:1-44 “I will surely gather them from all the lands where I banish them in my furious anger and great wrath; I will bring them back to this place and let them live in safety.” In his judgement of Israel, God did not mince his words: “The people of Israel and Judah …

The servants are exactly …

WISDOM AND TRIALSJames 1:1-18 “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” We should note that James does not say that the trials he speaks of are only the ones that originate from God. In fact he goes …

THE WISE LISTEN AND FOOLS HATE KNOWLEDGEProverbs 1:1-33 “How long will you who are simple love your simple ways? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge?” Matthew 13:10-12 is a very interesting account where the disciples asked Jesus, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?” Jesus replied saying, “Because …
