Psalm: 89:1-18 Meditation: ActsWhy does mankind insist on telling an omnipotent God what he can and cannot do? Jesus regularly healed with his word, his touch, his spirit, and by the hem of his robe. The shadow of Peter heals the believers that it falls upon. Later, Paul heals people with cloths and aprons. Why …

Psalm: 78:40-72 Meditation Hebrews: “He [God] guaranteed it by an oath, so that through two unchangeable things [God’s word and His oath], in which it is impossible that God would prove false, we who have taken refuge might be strongly encouraged to seize the hope set before us.” (vv. 17b-18) I think that in an …

Psalm: 103 Meditation James is very big on “be doers of the word” (v. 22) which has pitted many on the horns of a dilemma: when does “doing” become “work”? James clarifies that question by suggesting an old habit of God’s: to care for the orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself …

Psalm: 106  Meditation Deuteronomy is a retelling of the law. Simple enough. It also serves to “fill in the gaps” left in the law’s wake. Verse 3 cuts to the heart of the matter like a laser: “one does not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of the …

Psalm: 150 Meditation John: I doubt I shall ever fully understand the great significance of these 18 verses. If these verses were all we had of the bible, I think it would be enough. John introduces us to the “Word” by whom all things were created, as God’s only Son. He then tells us that …

Psalm: 72 Meditation Jeremiah: These 8 verses discuss just how important “keeping the sabbath” is to God. This is not about “Sunday”!  The point here, as in Lent, is to take time away from the vicissitudes of life to relax and to focus on God (and His word). I doubt that if it were not …

Psalms: 28, 95 Meditation Romans: The whole exhortation of Romans 2:25-29 is a rephrasing of Jesus’ quote in Matthew 15:8 and Mark 7:6 which he cited from Isaiah 29:13 namely: lip-service. The advantage of the Jews over the rest of us is that they were entrusted with the Word of God (and they did a …

Psalms: 4, 5 Meditation John: These are the last days of Epiphany (or Manifestation) so this passage from John is quite appropriate. Without apology, I tell you that this one passage, arguably, is the most significant in all of Scripture. If I were limited to but 18 verses of the Bible – these are the …

Psalm: 31 Meditation 1 Thessalonians: One of the major stumbling blocks for the Jews was their status as God’s “Chosen People”. If ever there were a reason for their arrogance, would it not be this? Because of their unclear thinking regarding being “chosen”, the Jews could not accept the notion that God would, or could, …

Psalm: 135 Meditation Ecclesiasticus: All throughout Scripture we are admonished to “remember”. The truth is we don’t, so occasionally we are given “boosters” to remind us. Most of the time we are exhorted to remember the law, or the word of God. In this case, Sirach delves into the lives of OT saints much as …
