Hopeless Weaving

Isaiah 59:5-6

Watch a spider spin its web. The intricate detail and the deliberate nature of its craft are a wonder of nature. When it is finished, the web can withstand wind and rain while still holding its shape and function. Yet, we know how flimsy it really is. One swipe of a broom and it is gone.

Isaiah paints this picture as a symbol of our feeble attempts at creating a kingdom like God's. We work hard to build a web of conveniences that look substantial but in the end, it is useless.

One disaster can show that our material lives are cobwebs. Instead, let's learn to seek to clothe ourselves with Christ- fine fabric, well tailored for life today and forever.

Skin Deep Repentance

Hosea 5:15-6.6

In this disturbing passage, God calls his people to express sorrow for their sins. They do so and then expect his help in their lives. But instead of helping them, God accuses them of having fair-weather faith and warns of trouble ahead.

Those who turn to God only in times of personal difficulty show a lack of understanding in their faith. God will be there to share our tough times, but he also wants us to remember him during the good times. He wants a faithful people, not people with a faith of convenience.


Are you a "fair-weather" believer? God gives his all to us and He expects the same in return.

Jesus the Light

John 8:12-47

John now turns his discussion of Jesus as water and food to Jesus as light. Jesus called himself the light of the world because it was obvious to him that those who wouldn't listen to him were stumbling around in spiritual darkness. He said his light would lead to life because everyone who turns away from the light of Jesus wanders deeper into the darkness away from God and into death.

Knowing that Jesus is our guiding light is an idea that makes people who want to be near God glad. People who don't want anything to do with God get angry with Jesus for saying they will die. Following the eternal light of Jesus will assure us of eternal life with our saviour.

Beware of Luxury

Amos 6: 1-7

Material wealth and a comfortable lifestyle gave Isreal the illusion of security. To the east, north and west great cities had been destroyed (Vs 2), yet the people of Isreal continued to live as if nothing were wrong.

In the midst of our cozy homes, sitting in a favourite chair, we too can forget the command from God to seek justice, love, mercy and walk humbly before Him. (Micah 6:8). Let's not be blinded by our lifestyle while the world around us is dying.

Life Out of Death

Genesis 22: 6-12


God was testing Abraham to see if he still loved God. Maybe now that Abraham had his promised son, he would love the gift more than the one who gave the gift to him. After everything Abraham had been through, he knew that he had to obey God. Abraham knew that God gives his best to those who are willing to give him their best.

Just as Abraham was about to plunge the knife into Isaac, the angel of the Lord stopped him. Abraham had shown God that his faith was still in God. Everything that Abraham had belonged to God.... even Isaac.

Consider the person in your life who is your most treasured gift. Maybe it is a child like Isaac, or a dear friend, a family member or a spouse. How would you feel if God asked you to give up this gift? Have you thanked God for giving you this gift?

It's the Right Thing To Do

1kings 12:25-33


Jeroboam soon realized that if his followers kept looking to Jerusalem as their center of religious life, it would be too easy for them to be persuaded to follow Jerusalem's king instead of him. In a speech that sounded right, he told the people that they did not have to travel all the way to Jerusalem to worship God. That was too hard to do; they could worship at the towns of Bethel or Dan.


Jeroboam started new festivals, similar to the ones that God's people were expected to attend three times each year in Jerusalem. He even set up some gold calves to help the people worship. But Jeroboam's actions were wrong. They were the first of many steps that would lead the people of Isreal to destruction.


Because something sounds right, looks right and is even said to be right by someone in authority, that still does not make it right. If something goes against God's Word, it is wrong.

Music: Tim Godfrey- Amen

A Divine Examination

Psalm 139:23,24

When we look into our hearts, we often find many conflicting emotions and motivations. We want to have God's presence woven into the fabric of our lives but we are still full of selfishness. It is one thing to take a close look at ourselves but it is another to surrender to God's investigation.

Can you stand strong under the severity of the Lord's gaze? We must pray that God will deliver us from that which is unholy and unworthy, as a threshing machine separates the corn from the chaff. Our own way of life is marked by emptiness. May God, with his infinite wisdom, show us the true path of righteousness.

Food For Starving Spirits

Nehemiah 8: 1-12

When Ezra and the Levites read and explained God's Law, it was like a free banquet for starving people. Most of these people had been born and raised as captives in a foreign land and many of then may never have heard the Word of God read and explained.

It is not surprising that their first response to hearing the truths of God was to weep. For the first time, perhaps, they recognized the sins of their fathers, as well as their own. But Ezra and Nehemiah let the people know that this was a day of celebration. God had given them a new start. Their sadness was turned to gladness because the Lord would be their happiness and strength.

When we allow God's Word to speak to our hearts often our first response is to be aware of our sins. When we realize that God has forgiven us of our sins, we can experience true freedom and joy.

Who is to Blame?

Isaiah 50: 1-5

Blame-shifting seems to have become a national sport. When we do something wrong, we often blame circumstances, heredity, other people, the church, fate or even God. The people of Isreal had the same trouble. Instead of recognizing their Babylonian captivity as God's punishment, the blamed it on him!

Not only did the people fail to listen to God's voice they ignored him completely (v.2). Don't get caught in the blame game. Take responsibility for your actions. Ask God for forgiveness. Then. You will be able to hear his voice and follow his ways.

The Best Laid Plans

Isaiah 28:20

Did you ever go to camp and try to sleep in a bunk with bedding that was made for someone half your size? Isaiah used this picture to represent our best-laid plans. Our plans never reach far enough; they are insufficient. We pay close attention to our selfish interests and forget about the will of God.

In addition, our schemes are often insecure. We try to plan for ever possible problem, but inevitably fail to cover all of the angles. Jesus told a parable about a house built on sand that looked so grand when the sun was shining. But after the first heavy storm it was washed away. Let's learn to wrap our plans in the secure arms of the Almighty God who is able to completely cover us with his protection and security.
