THE BIBLE SPEAKS DAILY (20092023)

Today's Verse: Lamentations 3:26

"...It is good that one should hope and wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord..."

WAITING QUIETLY.

It is our duty always, and will be our comfort and satisfaction, to hope and sincerely seek for the salvation of the Lord Jesus Christ. Afflictions do and will work very much for our good: many have found it good to bear this yoke in their youth; it has made many humble and serious, and has weaned them from the world, who otherwise would have become proud and unruly. 

If tribulation works patience, and patience works experience, then experience makes a hope that makes not ashamed!

Have you noticed most of our time in this world is spent in waiting? We wait standing in line for our turn at the Bus Terminals, we wait for Exam results, and we wait for the Lord’s Day. Though we wait, but time passes away slowly!

Waiting is a big part of life. It becomes overwhelming when we’re in distress. Sometimes, we experience cascade of emotions and thoughts overlapping each other; anxiety, excitement and joy. We must admit that we are always restless. God will consistently crush our doubts over and over again. Proving to us that His timing, plans and ways are the best. He really is with us throughout all our ordeals. Be it guiding the hands of the physician or the pilot of a plane we’re aboard. 

It’s common to hear “peace be with you”, but isn’t it high time to practice “wait in peace and be patient”? God knows our every thought and need. We need not shout for Him to hear us. Instead, let us ask, seek and knock, as we wait quietly, peacefully grounded in the faith, for our prayers to be answered!

Today's Prayer:

Heavenly Father, teach us to faithfully wait on You, and give us your peace, and rest, as we wait. Help us to serve You without complaining, and murmuring. We place our trust in You, oh Lord , for all the days of our lives.
Kindly heal the sick, and provide for the needy around us. 
Amen.

CHRISTIANS AND POLITICS.

Image
              CHRISTIANS AND POLITICS. By: Benson Omole. If there is anything that will spark a spontaneous debate, among believers, if not an outright argument, it is a discussion involving politics. As followers of Christ, how should we view politics, what should be our attitudes and our involvements with politics? In these contemporary times we live in today, it is increasingly becoming difficult to differentiate between an active Politician, and a faithful Christian! Small efforts shall be made to define what Christian life and values are. Why are we saved, and our responsibilities, now that we are saved? We shall also examine few classical definitions of politics, and its theories.  Readers must be able to decide whether to enter in “by the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many are they that enter in thereby. For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leads unto life, and few are they that find it.” –Jesu

The Origin of Israel.

ORIGIN OF ISRAEL. The origin of Israel is rooted in ancient history and has complex historical, religious, and political dimensions. It's important to understand that the topic is multifaceted, but I can provide a brief overview: 1. Ancient History: The region that is now Israel has a long history dating back thousands of years, with various indigenous peoples and empires controlling the area. In ancient times, the land was inhabited by Hebrews, Canaanites, Philistines, and others. 2. Biblical History: The Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) contains accounts of the Israelites' conquest of the land under figures like Moses and Joshua. It describes the establishment of the Kingdom of Israel. 3. Roman Conquest: In 63 BCE, the Roman Empire conquered the region, leading to the dispersion of Jews and the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE. 4. Modern Israel: After centuries of Jewish diaspora, the Zionist movement emerged in the late 19th century, advocating for the reest

The Truth About Christmas

The Truth About Christmas                            George G. Pennock. As we enter the season of the year when many of our friends and neighbors are observing the birthday of Christ, it is appropriate that we give some time to a careful study of Christmas. In this article we will attempt to give you a comprehensive picture of the truth about Christmas. Some of the material presented has been adapted from James L. Dennison's booklet, "The History Of Christmas" and Eris B. Benson's work, "The Question Of Christmas." We lay no claim to originality. Have you ever stopped and thought about the origin and history of Christmas? We are prone to take so many things for granted! Where did Christmas come from? Who authorized it? Many of us will quickly answer that it was ordained by God, and originated when Christ was born. But are you sure of this? Could you prove it from the Bible? Permit us to deal with some of the traditions which most of us have taken
