Jeremiah 1:11-12 The word of the Lord came to me saying “What do you see Jeremiah?” And I said I see a rod of an Almond “saqed” שָׁקֵד tree. Then the Lord said to me, “You have seen well, for I am watching “soqed” שָׁקַד, over my word to perform it. Both the word for Almond, and the
Exodus 3:15: “And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this [is] my name for ever, and this [is] my memorial unto all
Isaiah 41:8 “But thou, Israel, My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen. The seed of Abraham my friend.” James 2:23 “And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness” and he was called the friend of God.” II Chronicles 20:7 “Didst not thou, O our
Judges 7:2 “And the Lord said unto Gideon: ‘The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying: mine own hand hath saved me.” We have all heard this story in Sunday School and it is a story that
Isaiah 1:25: “I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all they tin.” I recently watched a silent movie on You Tube that showed an old Model T Ford from the twenties driving along a rough dirt road. It is a wonder these cars ever stayed

Exodus 35:21: “ And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, [and] they brought the LORD’S offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service, and for the holy garments.” As I am not a theologian
Exodus 4:24-26: “And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him. Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast [it] at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband [art] thou to me. So
Proverbs 23:7: “For as he thinketh in his heart, so [is] he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart [is] not with thee.” Something I have never understood in our Western culture are beauty pageants. I applaud the feminist movement for having successfully pointed out that beauty is very subjective
Deuteronomy 4:4: “But ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God [are] alive every one of you this day.” The context of Deuteronomy 4:4 is teaching that when others died Israel did not because they cleaved unto the Lord. That is such a wonderful promise that if just cleave to the Lord
