Psalm 71 Meditation: Genesis – Much of Sarah’s life foreshadows the troubles of the early Israelites. God changed her name as a symbol of their covenant, she became a slave of the Pharaoh in Egypt, and was freed from Egypt through a series of plagues. Finally, upon her death, Abraham took possession of a piece …

Psalm 38 Meditation: Genesis – Morality was a major issue when it came to the early Israelites, though they weren’t called that yet. Nakedness was not merely seeing someone’s body without clothes on, as it is often viewed today, but rather it was indicative of extreme sexual intimacy with another person. This difference in understanding …

Psalm 113 Meditation: Exodus – The Israelites had a knack for testing Moses’ and God’s patience. God only saved them from slavery, parted the Red and released the waves onto the Egyptian army, lead them across the desert with flame and cloud, created bread from dew while they wandered… It sounds ridiculous that the Israelites …

Psalms: 102 Meditation 2 Kings: Hezekiah, an exceptionally good king, is being harassed by Sennacherib king of Assyria, who like Goliath in days of yore, taunted the Israelites. Hezekiah seeks the LORD’s help and enquires of Isaiah what the LORD’s plan is. The LORD makes it clear that Sennacherib will not succeed. And if you …

Psalm: 80 Meditation Deuteronomy: For 40 years the Israelites wandered in the desert (wilderness) not knowing where their next meal was coming from. Thing is, the food provided was for each day and no more. The faithless would hoard “extra” only to learn that any food left overnight would then spoil. This is why Jesus, …

Psalm: 119:73-96 Meditation John: Much of Jesus’ life mirrors the life of Moses such as at the time Moses prays for God to send the Israelites' food. That food, from heaven, took the form of “manna” (translated: “what is this stuff?”) Here Jesus is telling these descendants of Moses that He is the bread that …

Psalm: 13 Meditation Deuteronomy here gives us a warning against self-righteousness where the Israelites (and we) tend to believe that our own righteousness defeats the enemy – not so! Anytime we entertain the notion that we are deserving of anything, it’s time to re-examine our motives. While in one sense this is true, we, of …

Psalms: 123, 128 Meditation Here in Deuteronomy we get a (fleeting) glimpse of just how detestable false gods are to the LORD. He warns his people to keep far away (i.e., detest) these false gods and the gold and silver they are made from. God wants Israel to destroy utterly all the idols especially those …
