"The Lord executes righteousness And justice for all who are oppressed.  He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel. The Lord is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy. He will not always strive with us, Nor will He keep His anger forever. He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor punished us according to our iniquities" (Psalm 103:6-10). Our Loving and Gracious Heavenly Father, We are thankful that Your justice and mercy go hand in hand! What a God of love You are! Please help us not to take Your...

"Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s" (Psalm 103: 3-5). Our Father who is in heaven, hallowed be Your name. We are so grateful to You for every blessing we have received from Your bountiful hand! You have blessed us more than we could ever have hoped for. Your mercies have been new every morning! So we give You thanks and praise! Please help us to be willing to...

"Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits" (Psalm 103:1, 2). Heavenly Father, during this week, when people from every walk of life in this country, and perhaps, other places in the world, have set aside a special day to express their thanks, we are reminded, that within every 24 hour period, there is so much, for which to be grateful, that an entire lifetime would not be enough to praise You for everything You have done for us! So from the depth of...

"Jesus said to her, ' "Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, " 'I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God' " ' " ' " (John 20:17). Heavenly Father, how grateful we are that death could not keep You in the grave! Therefore, we do not fear death, nor the grave, because You conquered them both! And because You live, we too shall live! We thank You in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, and our God. Amen!...

"And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself" (John 12:32). Heavenly Father, Please draw me as close as possible to Your side, and keep me there, so that by constantly beholding the beauty of Your chracter, I may be changed into Your image and likeness. In the blessed name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen. Before I continue with the message for today, please accept my sincere apology for the absence of Tuesday's message, without previously announcing that there would have been no message that day.  Today we are going to be talking about Joseph of...

"And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself" (John 12:32). My Lord and my God, You are the reason for my existence, the Source of my Joy, and everything I will ever need! May I be willing to share my glimpse of You with the world, for Your glory and the redemption of others! I ask this in the beautiful Name of Jesus Christ, my Lord! Today we are going to share the story of another individual, who saw Jesus "lifted up from the earth," and was positively impacted by the sight. We do not know...

"And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself" (John 12:32). Gracious God, we who have been drawn to the Savior, because of His great love, demonstrated at Calvary, would like to be instruments in the hand of the Holy Spirit, to help draw others to Him. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray, Amen. As we continue this conversation, I would like to introduce someone, whose name is not mentioned in Scripture, but whose story has brought hope to many, the thief on the cross. I should add the "repentant" thief. His complete story is...

"And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself" (John 12:32). Dear loving Heavenly Father, we give You thanks for being willing to be "lifted up" upon the cross of Calvary! You chose our death, that we might receive Your life! Please help us never to forget the cost of Your love for us! Help us to proclaim this love to the world, that they too might get a glimpse of the Savior! In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. When I was a young girl attending MV (Missisonary Volunteer) meetings at church, we sang a little chorus...

 "Its gates shall not be shut at all by day (there shall be no night there)" (Revelation 21:25). . . . .And the Spirit and the bride say,' "Come!" ' And let him who hears say, ' "Come!" ' And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely" ' " ' " (Revelation 22:17). Dear Lord, as we contemplate the covenant You made with Your servant Abraham, that through him all the families of the earth would be blessed, our hearts rejoice, that by faith in Your grace, we too, can be a...

"Its gates shall not be shut at all by day (there shall be no night there)" (Revelation 21:25). Dear Lord and Father, Whom have we in heaven, or on earth, but You? To whom can we go in times of need and discouragement? It is You who have words of eternal life! So thank You so much dear Lord, for being everything that we need now, and for eternity! In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen. Yesterday we began a rather interesting study on a time when there will be no night. I believe that some who read...
