John 4:6

Now Jacob’s well was there.  Jesus therefore, being wearied from His journey, sat thus by the well.  It was about the sixth hour. John 4:6  We are told that when Jesus arrived, He was weary and He sat down by Jacob’s well.  He was tired. I think it is actually reassuring that Jesus knows how it…

Psalm 32:1

Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Psalm 32:1 Blessed can be translated “O how happy” and it certainly applies to this verse. O, how happy is he whose transgression, or breaking of the law, is forgiven. We have all failed in various areas of our life and none of us would be able to bear the weight…

And the Lord restored Job’s losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before. Job 42:10 Here at the end of the book of Job, we know he is a man who fears the Lord and is characterized by God as blameless and upright. He’s…

Luke 6:12

Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. Luke 6:12  I think this is a good lesson and reminder for us. Jesus Himself spent all night praying for comfort and direction. Jesus, the Son of God, prayed all…
