J U N E 1 5 “Then the king of Aram was fighting against Israel, and he took counsel with his servants, saying, ‘At such and such a place will be my camp.’” — 2 Kings 6:8

God Keeps Watch Over His Own

God uses different means to achieve His good purposes. In the days of Elisha the prophet, Ben-Hadad, the wicked king of Aram, wanted to go to war against Israel, the northern kingdom. So he sent one of his bands of marauders into Israel to take prisoners and gather substance and treasure. These marauding bands of Ben-Hadad were sent frequently into Israel. But all of a sudden something had happened. Every time they would go to lay a trap for... More

J U N E 1 4 “So the king said to me, ‘Why is your face troubled though you do not seem sick? This is nothing but a troubled heart.’” — Nehemiah 2:2

A Time to Weep, A Time to Act

Nehemiah was the cupbearer of the Persian king, Artaxerxes. He was among the Jews left in Persia who had originally been taken into captivity by the Babylonians. When Nehemiah got word that the walls of Jerusalem and its temple were in total ruins, he was very sad. We might go out in this day as Nehemiah did and survey the spiritual wall around America; then ask ourselves the question: Is that wall broken down or is it in good condition? It... More

J U N E 1 3 “Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voices of many angels, numbering ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands…” — Revelation 5:11

Angels and Their Roles

A comforting truth in the Scripture is that there are innumerable angels—these supernatural servants and messengers of God. There are myriads of myriads of kiliads of killiads, vast hundreds of millions of billions of angels, and there is no doubt that the angels of God outnumber the enemies of God. Not that they need to. If one of them can handle 185 thousand fully armed soldiers in one night (2 Kings 19:35), they don’t need to... More

J U N E 1 2 “I have more understanding than all my teachers, for Your testimonies are my meditation.” — Psalm 119:99

Hiding God’s Word In Our Heart

It has been well said that prosperity is the natural consequence of acting on good advice. Many people have received advice from counselors concerning their financial lives—investments in stocks, bonds or businesses. They have acted on that advice only to discover that the advice given was poor and they destroyed their lives and ruined themselves in the process. But the advice that is contained in the Word of God is invariably good... More

J U N E 1 1 “I will meditate on Your precepts and keep my eyes on Your ways.” — Psalm 119:15

The Lost Art of Meditating on the Word

We need to begin and end the day reading the Word of God, memorizing the Word of God, hiding it in our hearts, and then meditating upon it through the day and night: in the morning, to fortify us for the battles of the day; at night, to close the day in the presence of our God who shall make even heavy seasons light through His Word. As we meditate upon the Word of God, He is sculpting us through that Word into His own image and making us... More

J U N E 1 0 “To him who overcomes and keeps My works to the end, I will give authority over the nations…” — Revelation 2:26

True Success

What the Bible means by success has less to do with the end than with the aspirations—has less to do with reaching our goal than it has to do with setting the goal. That is, it is much more important to aspire toward a noble goal than it is to achieve a lower goal. The Bible talks about this in terms of faithfulness—to be faithful unto God’s goal for our lives. Was the Apostle Paul a success? He died without leaving any... More

J U N E 9 “But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh to fulfill its lusts.” — Romans 13:14

Transformed By the Word of God

In the 19th Century a famous skeptic in England challenged a noted minister to a debate. The minister said he would gladly involve himself in this debate under one condition: that the skeptic would bring with him two people who could testify that the teachings of this skeptic had bettered their lives. The minister said he would bring 100 people who would testify that what he had taught had bettered and transformed their lives. The skeptic... More
