THINK ON THESE THINGS

“…if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things .” (Philippians 4:8).   An old adage says, “Idle hands are the devil’s workshop”.  I have also heard it quoted that “An idle mind is the devil’s workshop”.  Either way, though neither phrase appears in the Bible verbatim, there is much Biblical wisdom to be found in both.    They say a mind is a terrible thing to waste, but how many idle and vane thoughts pass through our minds day in and day out?  How many sleepless nights do we spend tossing and turning because we can’t turn off the restless thoughts in our heads?  Such thoughts rob us of our peace and feed our anxieties and fears.    Anxiety is the opposite of peace.  If we are feeling anxious, therefore, it’s because something has shaken us from our peace.  If we are at peace, on the other hand, our anxieties will flee away.  Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto yo...

THE TABERNACLE OF GOD

“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.  And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.  And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men , and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God .  And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” (Revelation 21:1-4).   A study of the Jewish Tabernacle of God in the Bible is a fascinating one to be sure.  Hidden within the blueprint of God’s House are mysteries relating to the spiritual growth and maturity of God’s people who are the true Tabernacle of God and Body of Christ.   God was very particular ...

BEHOLD, I SEND MY ANGEL BEFORE THEE

I recently read a passage of scripture out of the book of Exodus which blessed me greatly.   It is from the twenty-third chapter of Exodus, verses 20-33, and is some of the words that God spoke directly to Moses when the latter went up to Mt. Sinai to receive the Ten Commandments from the Lord.   They are especially precious to me because they contain many great promises for God’s people and hold such relevance for today.          ·         20 “Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.”   God promised to send an angel before the Israelites to keep them and guide them to the place which He had prepared for them to be.   What a wonderful thing to know that God has prepared a place for us!   Jesus said, “I go to prepare a place for you.” (John 14:2).   The Angel of the Lord appeared in a pillar of cloud and of fire to ...
