God sets the solitary in families; He brings out those who are bound into prosperity... Psalm 68: 6, NKJV. Dear LORD, it is wonderful to know that You are constantly looking out for those who have no one to care for them.  As we enter the study of your Word, may our hearts be softened toward those who are alone in this world; for Christ's sake.  Amen. The word solitary is closer related to the word alone, than to the word lonely!  Some definitions actually sound as if the solitary person, is alone by choice.  However, because we know that God...

You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.  These things I command you, that you love one another. John 15: 16, 17, NKJV. Dear God, as we enter into Your holy presence, we ask that everything that is not like You will be set aside, that we may worship You in righteousness.  In the name of Jesus we pray.  Amen. I decided to take an extra day to talk about...

"These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full..." John 15: 11, NKJV. Holy Father, here we are once more!  We long to hear a Word from You.  So please speak to us.  These mercies we ask in Jesus' name.  Amen. In John chapter 14, when Jesus tells His disciples that He will soon be going away, their obvious reaction is one of sorrow.  We surmise this by His Words of consolation to them, "Let not your heart be troubled..." (1).  Then He goes on to tell them that He will return...

And Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those sitting down; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wanted. John 6: 11, NKJV. Dear LORD, we pray for Your blessing upon our study today; in the name of Jesus.  Amen. When the five barley loaves, and the two fishes were brought to Jesus, the Bible says that "when He had given thanks He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those sitting down; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wanted."  Christ...

Then Jesus said, "Make the people sit down."  Now there was much grass in the place.  So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.  And Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those sitting down; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wanted. John 6: 10, 11, NKJV. Heavenly Father, there is so much that we can learn as we sit at Your feet.  Please teach us, we pray, in the blessed name of Jesus.  Amen. This had been a very long day,...

Jesus answered them and said, "Most assuredly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.  Do not labor for the bread which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him." John 6: 26, 27, NKJV. Holy Father, we thank You for feeding us with heavenly food, which will not perish.  As we study, teach us how to assimilate heavenly food, and be blessed; for Christ's...

Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you.  Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.  For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed.  He who eats my flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.  As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will...

When the LORD brought back the captivity of Zion, we were like those who dream.  Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing.  Then they said among the nations, "The LORD has done great things for them."  The LORD has done great things for us and we are glad. Psalm 126: 1-3, NKJV. Heavenly Father, with all our hearts we thank You for welcoming us into Your presence as we study Your Word. Please remain very close to us, and teach us; we pray in the name of Jesus!  Amen. Perhaps you have heard someone say, "I had to...

Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, do not forsake me, until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to everyone who is to come. Psalm 71: 18, NKJV. Heavenly Father, we pray that Your everlasting love will sustain us.  May Your Holy Presence now bless us, and lead us in ways of righteousness.  In Jesus' name we pray.  Amen. I feel impressed to say something more on this topic.  I truly believe that each generation owe a debt of love to the generations that come after them.  We need to be open and honest...

...You are My hope, O LORD God; You are my trust from my youth.  By You I have been upheld from birth.  You are He who took me out of my mother's womb.  My praise shall be continually of You...Do not cast me off in the time of old age; do not forsake me when my strength fails...O God You have taught me from my youth; and to this day I declare Your wondrous works.  Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, do not forsake me, until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to...
