This is the book of the genealogy of Adam. In the day that God created man, He made him in the likeness of God. 2 He created them male and female, and blessed them and called them Mankind in the day they were created.  3 And Adam lived one hundred and thirty years, and begot a son in ….  Read More

Another of Jesus’s followers said to Him, ‘LORD, I WILL FOLLOW YOU, but let me first go and bid them farewell who are at my house’, Luke chapter 9 verse 61. Once again, there is no reason to doubt this person’s initial desire; nevertheless, his words betray his total lack of understanding as to what ….  Read More

Hear my prayer, O Lord, give ear to my supplications! In Your faithfulness answer me, and in Your righteousness. 2 Do not enter into judgment with Your servant, for in Your sight no one living is righteous. 3 For the enemy has persecuted my soul; he has crushed my life to the ground; he has made me dwell in darkness, ….  Read More

I cry out to the Lord with my voice; with my voice to the Lord I make my supplication. 2 I pour out my complaint before Him; I declare before Him my trouble. 3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then You knew my path. In the way in which I walk they have secretly set a snare for me. 4 Look on my right hand ….  Read More

“Whatever He says to you, do it” John’s Gospel chapter 2 verse 5. These were words spoken by Mary, the mother of the Lord Jesus to servants at a wedding. Please read the chapter.

Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, and said, “I have acquired a man from the Lord.” 2 Then she bore again, this time his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. 3 And in the process of time it came to pass that Cain brought an offering of ….  Read More

Jesus never set out on a journey in an aimless way. Every step He took had a purpose in mind. In today’s meditation, we meet Him taking a journey to Galilee. It was referred to in a derogatory way as, ‘Galilee of the Gentiles’, because it was heavily populated with Gentiles. Isaiah, the prophet, said ….  Read More
