Blessed is he who considers the poor; the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble. The LORD will preserve him and keep him alive, and he will be blessed on the earth; you will not deliver him to the will of his enemies. The LORD will strengthen him on his bed of illness; you will sustain him on his sickbed. Psalm 41: 1-3, NKJV. Dear God, We thank You for Your loving kindness toward us. We are grateful, that You are always willing to meet with us, for the study of Your Word. In the holy name of Jesus we...

Blessed is he who considers the poor; the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble. The LORD will preserve him and keep him alive, and he will be blessed on the earth; you will not deliver him to the will of his enemies. The LORD will strengthen him on his bed of illness; you will sustain him on his sickbed. Psalm 41: 1-3, NKJV. Gracious God, as we approach Your Throne of Grace, we ask that You will show us the way we ought to go, and give us a renewed vision of what You expect of us as...

Behold I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind. But be glad and rejoice forever in what I will create, for I will create Jerusalem to be a delight and its people a joy. I will rejoice over Jerusalem and take delight in my people; the sound of weeping and of crying will be heard in it no more. Isaiah 65: 17-19, NIV. Dear God, as we think about the new heavens and the new earth that You are preparing for us; we want to be faithful...

But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul. When you are in distress and all these things have happened to you, then in later days you will return to the LORD your God and obey him. For the LORD your God is a merciful God; he will not abandon or destroy you, or forget the covenant with your forefathers, which he confirmed to them by oath. Deuteronomy 4: 29-31, NIV. Merciful God, thank You so much for not dealing with...

The Spirit of God came upon Azariah son of Obed. He went out to meet Asa and said to him, "Listen to me Asa and all Judah and Benjamin. The LORD is with you when you are with him. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will forsake you. For a long time Israel was without the true God, without a priest to teach, and without the law. But in their distress they turned to the LORD, the God of Israel, and sought him, and he was found by them ....

"I am the LORD's servant," Mary answered. "Be it unto Me as You have said." Luke 1: 38, NIV.  Gracious God, please teach us how important, our influence as mothers, can be as we meet here to study Your holy Word. In the blessed name of Jesus we humbly pray! Amen. Many adages have been penned about mothers. Perhaps, the most famous, and I would endeavor to say, most important, of these, is:  "The hand that rocks the cradle, is the hand that rules the world." I believe that this adage was God-inspired. The influence of mothers upon their children...

Then they brought little children to Him, that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who brought them. But when Jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased and said to them, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God. Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it," And He took them up in His arms, laid His hands on them, and blessed them. Mark 10: 13-16, NKJV. Dear God, as we enter the...

Then God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth and subdue it . . ." Genesis 1: 28, NKJV. Gracious God, we are always blessed by being in Your presence. We look forward to the day when we will meet You face to face. We thank You for not leaving us to grope in darkness. May the light of Your Word be shed upon our path. In the blessed name of Jesus we humbly pray. Amen. Yesterday, our study was about being fruitful in child bearing. We looked at woman's capacity to carry...

Then God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth and subdue it . . ." Genesis 1: 28, NKJV. Dear Heavenly Parent, how grateful we are to You, for considering us worthy to become a part of Your work of pro-creation. As we come into Your presence this morning to study Your Word, we pray that Your Holy Spirit will guide our study, and show us marvelous things out of Your Holy Word. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. What a wonderful God we serve! God created Adam and Eve in...

The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him." Genesis 2: 18, NIV. Dear God, please come very close to us, as we study Your Word. We ask this in the blessed name of Jesus Christ, our LORD and Savior. Amen. Today, we take a step backward to the days before sin entered our world. Let us look at the purpose, we believe, God had in mind, when He brought the man and the woman together. This purpose becomes evident by the description He gives to the...
