“And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.”
Matthew 4:18
When Christ needs men for important positions He never looks for them among idlers. He always seeks in the ranks of busy people, among those who are [...]

I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron. (Isaiah 45:2)
This was for Cyrus; but it is evermore the heritage of all the Lord’s own spiritual servants. Only let us go forward by faith, and our [...]

But it is good for me to draw near to God:
I have put my trust in the Lord GOD,
that I may declare all thy works.

Jesus’ Wonderful Works
Posted in John, Scripture, Work on June 29, 2008 | No Comments »
And there are also many other things which Jesus did,
the which, if they should be written every one,
I suppose that even the world itself
could not contain the books that should be written.
Amen.
John 21:25
The Weaver {unknown}
Posted in Gold, Poetry, Pride, Work on June 23, 2008 | No Comments »
My life is but a weaving
between the Lord and me.
I cannot choose the colours;
He worketh steadily.
Oftimes He weaveth sorrow,
and I in foolish pride
forget He sees the upper,
and I the underside.
Not ‘til the loom is silent
and the shuttles cease to fly,
shall God unroll the canvas
and explain the reason why.
The dark threads are as needful
in the Waver’s [...]

“The power of the Lord was present to heal them.”
Luke 5:17
It was not always so. Once we read that Jesus could not do any mighty works at a certain place. It was not said that He would not, but that He could not. It seems strange that could not should ever be written of the [...]

The world knew him not.
That’s what the Holy Spirit said in John 1:10, “He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not.”
The world knew Him not.
That is an amazing fact. At face value, this Scripture teaches that creation did not recognise its Creator.
Have you ever pondered [...]

Men with a vision are builders. Noah and the ark, Abraham and his family, Moses and Israel, Solomon and the temple. Men who see what God gives them to see, men who have a real vision from God are builders. The Lord Jesus Christ said that He would build His church. When He rose from [...]

“They come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.”
Mark 2:3
That was a very touching sight, those four strong men carrying their helpless friend to the Healer. That is the kind of help we ought always to be willing to give to one another. There are on all sides of [...]

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto My Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in My Name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. [...]
