The phrase “Him which is, and which was, and which is to come” is not to be found elsewhere in the New Testament. The Jehovah of the Old Testement is the Jesus of the New Testament. He is the I Am of Moses as well as the Christian. What holy joy fills the soul to know there is a Man in the glory who links heaven and earth, the Old and New Covenants and is sufficient for my every need in the past, present and future. —Les Rainey

Unlike his brother Aaron, Moses was not a powerful speaker. God made it clear that both needed, and would receive, His help. Whether we are overwhelmed by a responsibility, or feel that we can handle it, we must not forget to commit it to God, seeking His power. Failure to do so can lead, in the one case, to a hopeless giving up, or in the other case to proud success without reward. —David Logan

Who gave—a supreme sacrifice! Himself—an enormous cost! For our sins—a heavy burden! That He might deliver us—a great rescue! From this present evil age—a satanic environment! According to the will of God and our Father—a divine purpose! To whom be glory forever and ever—an eternal joy! —Jim Paul

The moral beauty of the Lord Jesus can be seen actually in the Gospels, doctrinally in the Epistles, and typically in the Tabernacle with its furniture and vessels, its sacrifices and offerings. The flour of the meal offering was the finest of fine flour, with no coarseness at all. It was made fragrant with frankincense and was offered in sweet savour to God. So was the life of the Saviour, a perfect blending of every moral virtue and every pleasing feature, a cloud of precious human incense ever ascending from Him to heaven. —Jim Flanigan

Satan has whitewashed sin. Human society smiles upon evil and readily indulges in it. But God has not changed. The sinner must be washed, not whitewashed, by the fountain that was opened through the death of Christ at Calvary. That washing justifies; so that the sinner is made clean; and is seen by God as being in Christ. If you are in Christ, you know it. If not, you are in your sins, and far from God.—Doug Kazen

When the Lord separates me from ones dear to my heart and identity, let me also trust, quickly accepting His will and anticipating multiplied blessings and fulfillment. —M. MacMullen

These sisters sought the Lord in their time of trouble. This was the best thing that they could have done. When trouble comes, and it surely will, it will do one of two things to us. It will either draw us to the Lord for strength, or it will turn us against Him and make us bitter. It will either soften us or harden us! It softened Jonah. It hardened Pharaoh. It depends on our individual will as to what it will do to us! Are you facing trouble today? How will it affect you? —Jim Pizzulli

Just inside the main entrance to Carnegie College in Dunfermline, Scotland, is a statue of a youth. It is called the “Ambition Statue” and the inscription on it reads “Let noble ambition be the thirst of youth”. Perhaps you are young and ambitious to be the best or to do the best? Would you consider being ambitious for God? Perhaps to do something that would make a difference to your assembly and its members? Perhaps to be part of leading a soul to the Saviour? Ambition for Him is the greatest ambition of all. —Brian Powlesland

Communing with the Lord is essential to the Christian life. We call it a quiet time. Two elements are required for this quiet time. A place (“a desert or private place”) and a time (rest a while, no length of time is specified). You must take the time, from something else, to make time for Him. Then look for a place to be alone with God. Remember, if you don’t take the time, it won’t take place. —Rex Trogdon
