Whether it be Isaiah, Jeremiah, the Apostle Paul, most importantly the Lord Jesus Christ Himself, there is a Divine plea to all of God's people to rise up out of spiritual sluggishness and inactivity and obscurity. How? As Jeremiah did, we find the Words of God, we eat them by...
Job believed that God was there with him. He just couldn’t see or feel Him during the progression of his trial. But like Moses, he purposed to keep relying on Him who is invisible. He refused to express himself in a false way. He reached the point where he closed...
“And the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush was burning, yet it was not consumed” (Exodus 3:2). It was a day like any other on the back side of the desert for Moses. He...
