Introduction:
Giving Praise Every Day
O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day . P SALM 119:97
T his devotional is designed to help you in your walk with the Lord each and every day so that you may understand God s Word more deeply and praise Him more passionately. We hope you will read each devotional thought along with the listed Scriptures to appreciate how deeply God wants to communicate His truth and love to you. As the Bible describes God s great program of redemption through the ages, it also features the individuals and relationships God has worked through to accomplish His marvelous plan.
Sprinkled throughout the Scriptures are moments of pleasure and pain, victory and defeat, faithfulness and failure, love and hatred, sternness and humor. God hides nothing about humanity; our challenge is to learn and apply the lessons He is teaching us through this marvelous Book.
We trust you will be encouraged to dig deeper into the written Word so you may walk more closely with Jesus Christ, the One who has been the Word from the very beginning.

Adam s Rib
And the rib, which the God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man .
T his amazing record of how the first woman came into being has been the object of much ridicule, but it is nonetheless true. The rib was most likely not a rib at all-the Hebrew word means either side or side chamber.
It may be that God formed Eve s body from Adam s side or from something within the chamber of his side. The surgery must at least have involved the shedding of blood. The life of the flesh is in the blood, so such a primeval blood transfusion from Adam s body would be uniquely appropriate to bring life to Eve s body.
Adam s deep sleep thus becomes a prophetic foreshadowing of the last Adam, when a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. As Adam s sacrifice gave life to his bride, so did the death of Christ for the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. Just as Eve shared Adam s very life, so do believers today constitute Christ s beloved bride, and we are hid with Christ in God, so that Christ Himself is our life.

Disobedient Midwives
The midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them .
S hiphrah and Puah were midwives in Egypt who risked their lives to prevent Pharaoh from murdering newborn males among the Israelites. They courageously disobeyed and even lied to Pharaoh. But Scripture says that God dealt well with the midwives. Bible critics frequently use this incident to charge God with a tolerance of evil .
Two other women in the Bible, Tamar and Rahab, prostituted themselves but are direct ancestors of the Messiah. And God even sent a lying spiri
