BUT GOD YOU PROMISED!
Isaac was 40 years old when he married Rebekah. Grandpa Abraham had been promised many offspring, but after several years of marriage, Rebecca had still not conceived. I imagine that Isaac was saying, “But God you promised!” He probably wondered if he should have married sooner or have had more faith. Who knows his doubts? Gen. 25:21 says Isaac pleaded with the Lord and Rebekah conceived. Prayer answered … smooth sailing … NOT! Verse 22 says the twin babies...
Read MoreYou Shall Know the Truth

The...
Read MoreHow Firm a Foundation
The words of the old hymn, How Firm a Foundation, have been running through my mind today. What a message to meditate on! How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word! What more can He say than to you He hath said, To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled? This firm foundation begins way back in the beginning in Genesis 1. “In the beginning, God …” What a comfort it is to know that God was there in the beginning … and He will be...
