4-1-06 Isaiah 52:10

Isaiah 52:10 (KJ21)
The LORD hath made bare His holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.

Isaiah 52:10 (NAS)
The LORD has bared His holy arm In the sight of all the nations, That all the ends of the earth may see The salvation of our God.

Isaiah 52:10 (NIVUS)
The LORD will lay bare his holy arm in the sight of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.

Isaiah 52:10 (NLT)
The LORD will demonstrate his holy power before the eyes of all the nations. The ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.

When two men are getting ready to fight each other, they will strip off some of their clothing, so that they are not restricted in their movements. Boxers and wrestlers wear very little in their matches. Not only does this give them more freedom of movement, but it reveals their muscular bodies to their opponents as further intimidation.

A time came when the Lord Jehovah bared His holy arm and revealed His force and strength. His arm is like no other; just the sight of it intimidates His enemies. They tremble and quiver, as they observe Adonai's power. There is no one stronger or mightier than the Lord.

All the nations of the earth will soon see what God's bared arm has done. It brought salvation, deliverance, and victory to all people. Prosperity and welfare is now made available to everyone. All of this is possible because the Lord God reached down and raised Yeshua the Messiah from death and the grave.

3-31-06 Isaiah 12:6

Isaiah 12:6 (KJ21)
Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion! For great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.

Isaiah 12:6 (NAS)
Cry aloud and shout for joy, O inhabitant of Zion, For great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel.

Isaiah 12:6 (NIVUS)
Shout aloud and sing for joy, people of Zion, for great is the Holy One of Israel among you.

Isaiah 12:6 (NLT)
Let all the people of Jerusalem shout his praise with joy! For great is the Holy One of Israel who lives among you.

People make noise over many causes; some are worth the noise. Others are disturbances of the peace. The most important cause to cry out over is not a cause at all, but it is a Person.

You are a child and servant of the Most High God and as such, you should not withhold your praises. As a stallion neighs shrilly over his herd in pride, you should give a ringing cry of joy and exaltation for the One who is worthy of all praise.

Even though you used to dwell in a dry, parched place, you now live and abide in Adonai, the Holy One. He has made you excel; you are bright, preeminent, and enduring. He has set you up as a signpost and monument of His grace and mercy.

The Lord your God is great and powerful; He is important and distinguished. Magnify Jehovah, the Almighty God, who always prevails over your enemies. He is the ram, the Lamb of God, who sacrificed His life and shed His blood to deliver you. He is Emmanuel, God with us. who drew near to you to save you.

3-30-06 Isaiah 65:18

Isaiah 65:18 (KJ21)
But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create; for behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.

Isaiah 65:18 (NAS)
But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create; For behold, I create Jerusalem for rejoicing, And her people for gladness.

Isaiah 65:18 (NIVUS)
But be glad and rejoice forever in what I will create, for I will create Jerusalem to be a delight and its people a joy.

Isaiah 65:18 (NLT)
Be glad; rejoice forever in my creation! And look! I will create Jerusalem as a place of happiness. Her people will be a source of joy.

At one time you may have thought that Adonai was hard and difficult to please. It is true that He sets high standards for His people, but that is only for your welfare and protection. He knows, as should you, that the wages of sin is death and He desires you to have life, not death. He, therefore, puts before you the way that leads to life.

An important part of life is rejoicing and exultation. The Lord your God wants you to be full of joy and gladness. Sadness and bitterness are not yours. The joy that the Almighty has ordained for you is not temporary. He wants to see you rejoicing continually and forever throughout eternity. You should take pleasure in all that He has created--the heavens above, the earth beneath, mankind and animals.

Peace is another aspect of life that you should experience continually. Adonai created Jerusalem as a place where His peace could reside, but His peace also resides in you. He pours it over you like rain. You know you can live at peace for the Lord God has made you whole and complete. He has restored you to soundness, so that you would have a good life.

Therefore, keep on rejoicing in God's city of peace and His people. Remember that the Lord God created you to experience continual joy and that is the best way to live!

3-29-06 2 Timothy 4:18

2 Timothy 4:18 (KJ21)
And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work and will preserve me unto His heavenly Kingdom, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

2 Timothy 4:18 (NAS)

You belong to the Lord Jesus Christ, who is God the Messiah, and He has the power to decide things for your life. Your responsibility is to agree with His decisions. He also has the power to deliver and rescue you from everything that presses and harasses you. He separates you from anything evil, wicked, and bad drawing you to Himself. He causes annoyances, hardships, and perils to simply flow away.

The Lord Yeshua not only saves you from evil, but He heals and restores you. He reserves a place for you in heaven, so that you can abide with Him in His royal Kingdom. There you will rule and reign with the King in His eternal glory and majesty. His splendor and brightness is greater than that of the sun, moon, and stars. He rules in excellence and grace.

3-28-06 Isaiah 45:7

Isaiah 45:7 (KJ21)
I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil; I, the LORD, do all these things.

Isaiah 45:7 (NAS)
The One forming light and creating darkness, Causing well-being and creating calamity; I am the LORD who does all these.

Isaiah 45:7 (NIVUS)
I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the LORD, do all these things.

Isaiah 45:7 (NLT)
I am the one who creates the light and makes the darkness. I am the one who sends good times and bad times. I, the LORD, am the one who does these things.

According to the non-verified theory of evolution, mankind originated from apes and the earth was created by a big bang. However, in considering this, you might look at the orderliness of the universe. It is hard to believe that everything just fell into perfect order and that men sprang up on the only planet in our solar system that can support life. But men with darkened minds, in their attempts to become gods, put forth these outlandish ideas that take more faith than believing that a Supreme Being created the universe.

Adonai, the Almighty, is the Creator and Sustainer of all. It was His well organized mind that put everything in its proper place. He spread out the stars to cover the heavens. He formed light and from it fashioned a day. He made the sun to shine brightly and He illumines the moon and stars. Day and night, light and darkness were both created by the Most High.

All of the works of the Lord Jehovah’s hands are complete and whole. Through Him come peace, safety, and soundness. When you trust in Him, you have quiet tranquility, prosperity, and health.

However, those who turn against Him will be cut off. They shall have pain, unhappiness, and misery. Adversity and calamity shall be their lot. Those, who do evil, shall have distress come back upon them.

3-27-06 Jeremiah 32:41

Jeremiah 32:41 (KJ21)
Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with My whole heart and with My whole soul.

Jeremiah 32:41 (NAS)
And I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will faithfully plant them in this land with all My heart and with all My soul.

Jeremiah 32:41 (NIVUS)
I will rejoice in doing them good and will assuredly plant them in this land with all my heart and soul.

Jeremiah 32:41 (NLT)
I will rejoice in doing good to them and will faithfully and wholeheartedly replant them in this land.

There is Someone who has His eye on you. He watches your every move, but you need not fear. He does not wish to do you harm. In fact, He has many benefits in store for you. You give Him great joy. Your welfare is Adonai's main concern He wants to make your life good, right, and beautiful. He makes your path smooth and straight, for He esteems and approves of you.

As a parent, the Lord God desires to give you an inheritance. He wants to plant and establish you in your own land. He holds you in the center of His heart; His thoughts are filled with you. He understands your needs. You are His passion. His breath will refresh you. Jehovah, your Lord, is faithful and you can always rely on Him. He makes you firm and stable. He supports you with the truth of His word; through it you are nourished and fostered.

3-26-06 Psalm 104:31 32

Psalm 104:31, 32 (KJ21)
The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever; the LORD shall rejoice in His works.He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth; He toucheth the hills, and they smoke.

Psalm 104:31, 32 (NAS)
Let the glory of the LORD endure forever; Let the LORD be glad in His works; He looks at the earth, and it trembles; He touches the mountains, and they smoke.

Psalm 104:31, 32 (NIVUS)
May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the LORD rejoice in his works—he who looks at the earth, and it trembles, who touches the mountains, and they smoke

Psalm 104:31, 32 (NLT)
May the glory of the LORD last forever! The LORD rejoices in all he has made! The earth trembles at his glance; the mountains burst into flame at his touch.

Many people do not believe that there is a God and because of that, they live their lives to suit themselves. These beliefs, however, are wrong. There is a God and He is mighty and wonderful. Adonai, the Most High God, is glorious with splendor. He holds abundance and riches in His hands. His presence is weighty and He deserves honor and respect. The glory of the Lord Jehovah shall endure forever. There is no end to His existence.

The Almighty is not always hard; in fact, He is easily entreated. He looks on the things He has made and rejoices in them. He exults in what He has fashioned. You are a product of His creation and someone who has been skillfully wrought. You make Him glad.

You, however, should never lose sight of the Lord's might and power. When He looks on the earth, it trembles and quakes in His sight. If He reaches out His hand to touch the hills and mountains, they will begin to smoke. All of El-Shaddai's creation stands in awe of Him. He is great and greatly to be praised. Always let your voice be raised to magnify the Lord Most High!
