Today, I’ve done a mini Bible study on the word “MOUTH” which could be enlarged even further if we also added the word “LIPS” to the study, but for the sake of my time and especially YOUR time in reading, I’ve kept it basically to just a study on the word, MOUTH,” using Psalms and Proverbs. In the Bible, there are 415 instances with the word “mouth,” 18 instances with the word “mouths,” 206 instances with the word “lip,” 119 instances with the word “lips,” and 161 instances with the word “tongue.” As you can see, we can learn much in studying what God’s Word says about the use of…

My God is bigger than your god!
Exodus 7: 10-12 10. And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent. 11. Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments. 12. For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods. I read this Scripture reference a few weeks back… Exodus 7:12 makes me lavishly grin each and every time I read it! It reverts me back to…

Do Your Trials Get in the Way of Believing God
Exodus has some incredible FAITH inspiration! Just reading through chapter one, I’m always inspired how God blessed the midwives with houses (Exodus 1:21 kjv) when they feared and obeyed God rather than Pharaoh, when he told the midwives to kill the baby boys being birthed by the Hebrew women. (Exodus 1:17 kjv) In Exodus chapter two, Pharaoh’s devastating cruelty is shown when he commands that all the baby Hebrew boys were to be cast into the river. Just ponder the pain for a moment… The Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigor; And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage… (Exodus 1:13, 14 kjv) And NOW……

I Have Enough.
Because Jacob swindled Esau out of his birthright and had also stolen the blessings that were to be given to Esau by his father, Isaac (Genesis 27), Jacob feared for his life while returning home to meet Esau, even though it was years later since these incidents. These two brothers were at odds with each other. Truthfully, I can’t say that I blame Esau for being so angry, yet… was earthly possessions worth committing murder and losing his brother, Jacob? Had Jacob been contented with what God had already given him, would he have connived to gain more from his brother Esau? To appease his brother’s wrath, Jacob sends before…

Where is your faith?
“And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.” – Luke 8:25 KJV One day, Jesus got into a ship with his disciples to go to the other side of the lake. (Luke 8:22) I’m sure this was a common practice of traveling during these times when you lived near water, but I do doubt the decision to travel by ship or boat was considered if the skies looked exceptionally stormy. So, I’m assuming it was a rather pleasant day when they launched…
