TRUST GOD TO ACCOMPLISH WHAT HE DESIRES THROUGH YOU! But Moses said to the LORD, “Oh, my Lord, I am not eloquent, either in the past or since you have spoken to your servant, but I am slow of speech and of tongue.” Then the LORD said to him, “Who has made man’s mouth? Who makes him mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Is it not I, the LORD? Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall speak.” But he said, “Oh, my Lord, please send someone else.” Then the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses and he said, “Is there not Aaron,…

WICKED HEARTS, WICKED ACTIONS Then the king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, one of whom was named Shiphrah and the other Puah, “When you serve as midwife to the Hebrew women and see them on the birthstool, if it is a son, you shall kill him, but if it is a daughter, she shall live.” — Exodus 1:15-16 With regard to the works of man, by the word of your lips I have avoided the ways of the violent. —Psalm 17:4 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil… —Isaiah 5:20 A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an…

GOD IS OVER ALL! When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “It may be that Joseph will hate us and pay us back for all the evil that we did to him.” So they sent a message to Joseph, saying, “Your father gave this command before he died, ‘Say to Joseph, Please forgive the transgression of your brothers and their sin, because they did evil to you.’ And now, please forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of your father.” Joseph wept when they spoke to him. His brothers also came and fell down before him and said, “Behold, we are your servants.” But Joseph said to them,…

ABIDERS IN THE LORD WILL NOT BE MOVED O LORD, who may abide in Your tent? Who may dwell on Your holy hill? —Psalm 15:1 If you do not want to be moved away from the Lord, then having these life focuses will surely help— To walk blameless before Him To do what is right To speak truth in your heart To not slander To do no evil to your neighbor To not take up a reproach against your friend To despise an evil person To honor those who fear the Lord To keep your word even to your own hurt To not charge interest To not take bribes against…

GO TO THEM SO THEY CAN CALL ON JESUS! The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds, there is none who does good. The LORD looks down from heaven on the children of man, to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God. They have all turned aside; together they have become corrupt; there is none who does good, not even one. —Psalm 14:1-3              Why does the fool say in his heart “There is no God?”  It is because they are corrupt and want to do “abominable deeds” and that which is not good.  They want to do what…

GOD PREPARES HIS PEOPLE FOR THE WORK HE HAS FOR THEM And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I have had a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. I have heard it said of you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.” Joseph answered Pharaoh, “It is not in me; God will give Pharaoh a favorable answer.”  Then Pharaoh said to Joseph… —Genesis 41:15-16  And Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find a man like this, in whom is the Spirit of God?” Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has shown you all this, there is none so discerning and wise as you are. You shall…

LIES, CORRUPTION, WICKEDNESS When abortion was “legalized” we were told it would be rare.  But the evil and corrupt nature of man is like leaven and man’s corruption corrupts at greater and greater levels.  Now there are a growing number in government that not only want to abort children in the womb at any time, but also want to kill children outside the womb who survive an abortion.  This is vile, wicked, evil and satanically driven.  People that promote this are out of their minds, mentally unstable and need to “come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his…

FLEE FROM WICKEDNESS AND SIN! How then can I do this great wickedness and sin against God? —Genesis 39:9 On every side the wicked prowl, as vileness is exalted among the children of man. —Psalm 12:8             Oh, that we would have that mindset about wickedness and sin.  How can we, why would we do “wickedness and sin against God?”  Remember this, wickedness and sin is AGAINST GOD!  Oh, may we flee from it as Joseph did when he was tempted to commit sexual immorality and do “great wickedness and sin against God.”  Yes, Lord may I have this mindset.  My desire is not to do anything that is against…

BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY And God said to him, “I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations shall come from you, and kings shall come from your own body. —Genesis 35:11 To Adam & Eve— And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” —Genesis 1:29 To Noah— Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill…

GOD’S WAYS WILL PREVAIL! Why, O LORD, do you stand far away? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble? In arrogance the wicked hotly pursue the poor; let them be caught in the schemes that they have devised. For the wicked boasts of the desires of his soul, and the one greedy for gain curses and renounces the LORD. —Psalms 10:1-3 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account. —Hebrews 4:13             There are times when it may seem that our Lord is distant from what is happening in our nation and…
