22 “Yet you did not call upon me, O Jacob;but you have been weary of me, O Israel!23 You have not brought me your sheep for burnt offerings,or honored me with your sacrifices.I have not burdened you with offerings,or wearied you with frankincense.24 You have not bought me sweet cane with money,or satisfied me withContinue reading “Isaiah 43: 22-28….The Old way of thinking which is to be forsaken!”

Rev 12: 7-12….Is this a war that involves us?
Introduction: If you read yesterday’s devotional I copied the whole of chapter 12 of the book of Revelation but only commented on the portion printed in red. Today, I’m concentrating on the portion in brown which yesterday I said was about ‘War in heaven between Good and Evil forces. Victory won for those on theContinue reading “Rev 12: 7-12….Is this a war that involves us?”
Revelation 10: 1-11….Don’t dare say it!
1 Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head, and his face was like the sun, and his legs like pillars of fire. 2 He had a little scroll open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea, andContinue reading “Revelation 10: 1-11….Don’t dare say it!”
Rev 9: 13-21….A verbal ‘video’ of events to come!
Introduction: With my way of doing things – doing roughly a week of each an OT book, Psalms, and a NT book – when I come back to one of them it is possible to have forgotten the context of where I start rewriting! I think of chapters 4 to the end of this bookContinue reading “Rev 9: 13-21….A verbal ‘video’ of events to come!”
Revelation 9: 1-12….Overview time.
Introduction: As those of you who regularly read these devotionals, will have worked out for yourselves that almost every eighth day I change between Psalms, an Old Testament and a New Testament book. At special times in the church calendar I will deviate a bit for a few days. I am doing a review todayContinue reading “Revelation 9: 1-12….Overview time.”
Revelation 8: 1-13….Trumpet Blasts Begin.
1 When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. 2 Then I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them. 3 And another angel came and stood at the altar with a golden censer, and he was given muchContinue reading “Revelation 8: 1-13….Trumpet Blasts Begin.”
Revelation 7: 9-17….A stringing together of magnificent phrases!
9 After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to ourContinue reading “Revelation 7: 9-17….A stringing together of magnificent phrases!”
Revelation 6: 12-7: 9…Action begins to happen!
12 When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood, 13 and the stars of the sky fell to the earth as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale. 14 TheContinue reading “Revelation 6: 12-7: 9…Action begins to happen!”
Revelation 6: 1-11….The scene is set.
Introduction: When I was going to High School, which I started a mere 75 years ago. we were in our Christian weekly meeting encouraged to have a daily QT (Quiet time). ‘Make a habit of reading your Bible daily, thinking about what you read and pray’ we were told. I asked Wikipedia what a devotionalContinue reading “Revelation 6: 1-11….The scene is set.”
Psalm 82: 1-8….A psalm of Asaph.
Introduction: If I were to translate ‘This food is finger licking good’ into Amharic and being translated back into English would be ‘This food makes me want to eat my fingers’. Often, in Amharic one hears it said, ‘little by little the egg learns to walk’. The first time you hear it you wonder whatContinue reading “Psalm 82: 1-8….A psalm of Asaph.”
