Psalm: 56 Meditation:2 Corinthians: How do you give a message that someone doesn’t want to hear? Truth can still hurt. It has to be delivered with humility and respect for the person that is receiving the needed words. Paul writes to ask everyone to hear and remember the message. The messenger, way of speaking, or …

Psalms: 136 Meditation Isaiah: The LORD looks for two spiritual qualities in people whom He wishes to bless: humility and contrition. He loves that! Notice: “I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with those who are contrite and humble in spirit.” (v. 15b) Two rather holy women stand out: Hannah, mother of …

Psalm: 86 Meditation John: The opening here suggests that Jesus was baptizing people. I don’t think He did the baptizing Himself. I say this for that would be a clear demarcation between those baptized by Jesus versus someone inferior, by an ordinary apostle. This point is clarified in verse 2 of the next chapter. Also, …

Psalm: 17 Meditation Luke: “He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were religious and regarded others with contempt.” (v. 9) Well, I don’t like to think that I regard someone less religious than I in contempt. I have fallen victim to some self-complacency when I only wish others were …

Psalms: 28, 29 Meditation John: This passage marks the opening of the gospel of John. While typically reserved for special occasions like Christmas, today it serves only to launch our look into John’s gospel. I have remarked before that if we have only these 18 verses and no other Scripture, this would be enough to …

Psalm: 107 Meditation Matthew: Please (re-)turn to chapter 18:1-5 to hear an echo of what we are looking at today. Apparently, a child-like attitude (by which I mean “faith”) is necessary if only to prove to ourselves actually just how dependent we are upon God, from our next breath to our next meal. God is …

Psalm 119:49-72 Meditation: 1 Corinthians – Human knowledge and wisdom has very little impact on the spread of the Gospel. Acknowledging this and coming from a place of humble testimony is how Paul says he teaches and ministers. There is nothing more frightening than being the leader in a situation and acknowledge that no amount …

Psalm 25 Meditation: Philippians – Christ-like humility is not merely preventing yourself from boasting or believing yourself better than others. It’s also a lack of selfish ambition. How many people can you think of who used others to get where or what they wanted, either fictional or non-fictional. Christian humility comes from valuing others above …

Psalm: 107 Meditation Matthew: The question: “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” springs up with alarming frequency. The sad aspect here is that for some reason the disciples cannot seem to remember what Jesus says from one minute to the next. Jesus keeps iterating to the dolts that humility is the shortest …

Psalm: 86 Meditation Matthew: The Transfiguration. Why is this event so important? Well, it bears some similarity to Moses on Mount Sinai and the burning bush; God speaks here too. Jesus wanted people to make associations between Himself and Moses. How did Peter, James, and John know who was with Jesus? It is not as …
