Psalms 17:14-15. From men which are thy hand, O Lord, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.  As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when…

Psalms 13:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? Sometimes when the Lord does not answer our prayers as fast as we want we quickly begin to think He has forgotten us.  David thought, at times, it…

1 Corinthians 13:5 – Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; One thing about charity, in I Corinthians 13, is that it does not seek its own, it is not selfish.  The world’s mentality is-you are number one.  Everything is about pleasing self.  If we are…

1 Kings 18:37 Hear me, O Lord, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the Lord God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again. When Elisha was praying to the Lord before the altar, he asked the Lord to hear him.  God wanted to reveal himself to to his people.…
