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 …

Psalms: 72 Meditation 1 Kings: The thing to remember is that at that time the “prophet” may or may not have been appointed by God but rather by the king as in this case. The irony is that prophesies are so unspecific as to be reinterpreted more favorably when the event is past. “Go… for …

Psalms: 54 Meditation Matthew: John the Baptist made no attempt at popularity. Like any prophet worth his salt, John was no fashion-plate either, proclaiming “Repent” – the only thing missing from this caricature was the sandwich board reading: “The end is near.” He was fearless confronting king, Pharisee and priest alike warning even them that …

Psalm: 93 Meditation 1 Kings: Obadiah, chamberlain to King Ahab, was as is name suggests (a devout believer in the LORD) commissioned by Ahab to search high and low throughout the land for Elijah. Elijah, apparently, had developed a knack of disappearing (or of being snatched away at will) when he was most wanted. Obadiah …

Psalm: 119:49-72 Meditation Daniel: Daniel is a somewhat unique prophet or visionary who, like his predecessor Joseph, found favor wherever he went. He was gifted, (some say plagued) with numerous visions most of which he could interpret. This seer’s life was far from easy. Some of Daniel’s visions baffle scholars to this very day and …
