The Lord’s desire today is to obtain the Zion in Jerusalem, the overcomers in the churches, those who are ripened earlier for His satisfaction, those who will bring Him back. The Lord said He will return soon, but it has been over 2000 years since He ascended to the Father – why has He not […]
enjoying the many positive functions of the law as the word of God (Psalm 119)
When we read Psalm 119 carefully we realize how much the psalmist loved the word of God, the law, the precepts, the ordinances, and the commandments. Yes, on the one hand, the law of God / the word of God exposes us of our sin and preserves us unto Christ, but on the other hand, […]
this is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!
Praise the Lord – this is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it (Psa. 118:24)! This day is none other than the resurrection day, the Lord’s day, the day on which Christ resurrected and was set by God as the cornerstone for God’s building (Acts 20:7; 1 […]

In the last few verses of this psalm we see that Christ […]
