SIGNS OF THE COVENANT
Sir Godfrey Gregg D.Div My Bow in the Cloud. Genesis 9:13 A covenant is a promise or undertaking, resting on certain conditions, with a sign or token attached to it.

COMFORT IN THE DEPTHS
"Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee who passing through the valley of weeping, make it a well" (Psalm 84:5, 6). Comfort does not come to the light-hearted and merry.

Flowing From Us
Flowing From Us "Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south, blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out!" (Song of Solomon 4:16). Look at the meaning of this prayer a moment.

Therefore you can thank God for everything … Continue reading WE NEED MINOR KEYS TOO
THE DEGREES OF FAITH
Degrees of Faith "Let me prove, I pray thee, but this once with the fleece" (Judges 6:39). There are degrees of faith. At one stage of Christian experience, we cannot believe unless we have some sign or some great manifestation of feeling. We feel our fleece, like Gideon, and if it is wet we are … Continue reading THE DEGREES OF FAITH
DEAD SOULS
Awake, arise, come forth jumping and praising God. Hallelujah for this golden opportunity to be alive and have all senses intact. What a Mighty and Wonderful God we serve. "Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave, or thy faithfulness in … Continue reading DEAD SOULS

Read with me from the Book of Psalm 17:1-15 Three words summarize David's cry in Psalm 17. The first word is hear. "Hear a just cause, O Lord, attend to my cry" (verse 1).
