I Had a Dream

“It will come about after this that I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind; and your sons and your daughters will prophesy, your old men will have dreams, . . .”  Joel 2:28  NASB Dreams – What is a dream?  The question has haunted human investigation for centuries.  If you’re curious, you might look at…

Seeing with Your Ears

The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz concerning Judah and Jerusalem, which he saw during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.  Isaiah 1:1  NASB Vision – Today you’ll read this short analysis.  You will see it with your eyes.  But if I were to have a vision, you wouldn’t see it at all unless…

Obadiah on Wide Screen

The vision of Obadiah.  Obadiah 1 NASB Vision – Have you read Obadiah?  I wouldn’t be surprised if you said, “No.”  It’s such a short book that it is often skipped.  After all, what can a prophet say in just 21 verses?  Before we discover how universal Obadiah really is, it’s worth examining the opening…

Blinded by the Light

Now it came about, when Isaac was old and his eyes were too dim to see, that he called his older son Esau and said to him, “My son.” And he said to him, “Here I am.”  Genesis 27:1  NASB Too dim to see – The Akedah is the turning point of the entire story of the…

Trail Theology

He makes my feet like hinds’ feet, and sets me on my high places. 2 Samuel 22:34 NASB My high places – “Just keep going up. At first you won’t see it, but just keep going up.” We were four miles into the climb. Not a hike. A climb. Every step was altitude gain. And…

How To See God

With the kind You show Yourself kind; with the perfect one You show Yourself perfect; with the clean You show Yourself clean; and with the crooked You show Yourself twisted. Psalm 18:25-26 (translation: M. Buber) You Show Yourself – The psalmist knew the secret to seeing the Lord.  Behavior determines vision.  What I do is…

Doubtful Vision-Casting

Where there is no vision, the people are unrestrained, but happy is he who keeps the law.  Proverbs 29:18 Vision – I recently came across the very interesting comment (it’s worth quoting in full): “You have no doubt heard the biblical axiom, “Without a vision the people perish…” It is used often in an effort…

Visión Doble

21 de junio Donde no hay visión, el pueblo se desenfrena, pero bienaventurado es el que guarda la ley. Proverbios 29:18 Visión – Recientemente encontré un comentario muy interesante (la cita completa vale la pena): “sin duda han escuchado el axioma bíblico, “si visión perece el pueblo…” Con frecuencia se usa en un esfuerzo para…
