Hosea: 14:10: “He who is wise will consider these words; He who is prudent will take note of them. For the paths of the Lord are smooth; the righteous can walk on them But the sinners will stumble on them. There are four words in this verse that really stand out to me. They
Haggai 2:4b: “Be strong all you people of the land, saith the Lord, and work for I am with you saith the Lord of Host.” “Work is love made visible, and if you cannot work with love only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate
Ezra 7:10: “For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the Lord and to do it and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments.” You read about Ezra and the word that comes to mind is fanatic. This old boy devoted himself to the Word of God. Jewish tradition teaches that

Thank goodness this verse was written in Hebrew and not English. Just because some
WORD STUDY – PLACE Genesis 28:16 “When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he said surely the Lord is in this place and I was not aware of it.” Place – Hebrew: qom – awaken, arise, place of awakening or arising The word for “place” is “qom” which has a Beth and Mem in front of
Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar and Nevim Arith Hayomim: Psalms 118:10: “All nations compassed me about, but in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.” The letter “Beth” can be used as a preposition for “in,” “on” or “with.” No English translation I know will render the Beth in this passage as “with.”
