Psalm: 71 Meditation Jeremiah: As the reading tells us, Jeremiah was called to be a prophet even before he was born. (I could have a field day against abortion with this verse alone but that will have to wait.) So, when he says he was a “child” he really was. Jewish boys enter a rite …

Psalms: 51, 95 Meditation Jonah: Jonah is a reluctant prophet. He did everything he could think of to avoid this calling from God to go to Nineveh. So, he ends up in the belly of a great fish and there “repents”. He is restored to the land, so the LORD came to Jonah “a second …

Psalm: 41 Meditation Luke: Today we will glimpse at 4 scenes. First, David’s audacious proclamation: “The LORD said to my Lord.” (Ps. 110:1) The first LORD = YAHWEH (God Himself – thank you KJV) and the second Lord = master just as the disciples often addressed Jesus. I think Jesus, by His question, affirms David’s …

Psalm: 39 Meditation Luke: John the Baptist was a Levite, Jesus of the tribe of Judah. Isaiah in chapter 40 prophesies John’s coming. By the time John arrives on the scene, there had been no prophet in the land – numerous false messiahs but, alas, no prophets. John had received the gift of the Holy …

Psalms: 82, 84 Meditation Numbers: We are now introduced to a new face – Balaam, apparently a “world famous” prophet. Balak, king of Moab, sought out Balaam to curse Israel for a hefty price. Balak and the Moabites were terrified of Israel. The Moabites were distant relatives of the Hebrews through Abraham’s nephew Lot. Balaam …

Monday, February 8 Psalm 80 Meditation: John – Why can a prophet not come from Galilee? The Pharisees say that it is impossible out of a need to dismiss Jesus, but also as evidence to Nicodemus. Galilee was a mixed-race region of Israel, and the people were not very anxious to follow the letter of …

Psalm 6 Meditation: John – In this passage, John the Baptist tells the priests and Levites that he is not the Messiah but the one preparing the way for him. They even ask if John is Elijah or a Prophet. John had his own position. He is the fulfillment of Isaiah’s prophecy. John recognizes his …

Psalm: 113, 115 Meditation Luke: John (the Baptist) was born to a Levitical family – his father Zechariah was among those serving in the Temple. Zechariah would closely adhere to the Law thus when John was 8 days old, he was thus circumcised. That was the day the child would be named. John’s name was …

Psalm: 114 Meditation Jeremiah: Jeremiah is commissioned to tell the exiles just what they don’t want to hear. These people were carried away against their will and now Jeremiah is telling hem to settle in and raise new families, build homes and support the enemy king. The LORD tells them: “I know the plans I …

Psalm: 18 Meditation Jeremiah: I don’t know what “prophet of the LORD” meant to the people of Jeremiah’s day – probably no more than we do of a favorite or not-so-favorite preacher. The thing is Jeremiah was much more than ordinary. He, for his day, was a mouthpiece for God yet they threw him into …
