“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye....

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.  Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ Matthew 7: 21-23, NKJV. Merciful Savior and Friend, Oh that we might know You, Who to know is life eternal (John 17: 3)! Oh, that we might...

Then he became very thirsty; so he cried out to the LORD and said, “You have given this great deliverance by the hand of Your servant; and now shall I die of thirst and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?” So God split the hollow place that is in Lehi, and water came out, and he drank; and his spirit returned, and he revived. Therefore he called its name En Hakkore, which is in Lehi to this day. And he judged Israel twenty years in the days of the Philistines. Judges 15: 18-20, NKJV. God of our salvation, as...

By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth. He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap; He lays up the deep in storehouses. Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast. Psalm 33; 6-9, NKJV. Gracious God, as we enter the study of Your Word, may Your Holy Spirit draw near to us and bless our study. In the...

Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous! For praise from the upright is beautiful. Praise the LORD with the harp; make melody to Him with an instrument of ten strings. Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully with a shout of joy. For the word of the LORD is right, and all His work is done in truth. He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD. Psalm 33: 1-5, NKJV. Most Gracious God and Creator, as we enter the study of Your Word, we do it rejoicing in Your mercy. We ask for wisdom and knowledge to be able to see...

In the name of our Savior Jesus Christ we pray. Amen. Today we return to Psalm 33. This is our fifth day, meditating on the second half of this psalm. We will...

“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the...

Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, on those who hope in His mercy, to deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. Psalm 33: 18, 19, NKJV. My LORD and my God, where would we be if You were not watching over us? Who would deliver in the day of trouble? We praise and glorify Your holy name for taking such good care of us, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. His Eye is on the Sparrow, is a Gospel hymn that was written by Civilla D. Martin and Charles...

No king is saved by the multitude of an army; a mighty man is not delivered by great strength. A horse is a vain hope for safety; neither shall it deliver any by its great strength. Psalm 33: 16, 17, NKJV. Dear Abba, we come with confidence into Your presence today, to hear a Word from You. Please speak to us dear God, for in You, and You alone, is our hope. Today is our third day meditating on Psalm 33. I was not aware of the many nuggets of truth that are embedded in this wonderful psalm! I had read it so...

This is our prayer, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ. Amen. How does it make you feel to know that God sees everything that you do;...
