Psalm 78:1-39 Meditation: Genesis –The Pharaoh and his servants (or officials depending on your version) were pleased to hear about Joseph and his brothers reconnecting. We can guess that Joseph has been in his position for at least 7 years since the famine has started. He has obviously created a relationship with the Pharaoh and …

Psalm 80 Meditation: 1 Corinthians – This is not the first time that Paul pleads for people to not get married. He seems specifically concerned that marriage is a thing of this world and could prevent the participants from remaining wholly focused on the Lord. I don’t know about Paul, but I know people whose …

Psalm 95, 69 Meditation: 1 Corinthians – Paul’s letters have been used to provide a basis for women physically belonging to their husbands.

Psalm: 97 Meditation 2 Chronicles: The Mosaic Law was nothing if not thorough. It seemed to provide for any contingency – this is a case in point.

Psalm: 89 Meditation 1 Corinthians: These verses may help us to understand why Paul was discouraging marriage. It is not because Paul thinks there is anything wrong with it but rather, I think, by the sense of urgency brought on by the imminent return of Christ.

Psalms: 136 Meditation 2 Kings: Who says the OT is boring? Here we have all the makings of a Shakespearean tragedy. We have an evil queen, Athaliah, the only woman ever to have ruled in Jerusalem (or Samaria, for that matter). She was likely the daughter of Jezebel (evil queen in Samaria – wife of …

Psalms: 91 Meditation 1 Corinthians: Here Paul gets to the crux of one of our most basic instincts – sex. He seems to think the world would be better off without it as it seems to be the fount of all immorality. He is also pragmatic – if you must have sex then you must …
