Peace for the Day | Nov. 18th

"May the Lord give strength to his people! May the Lord bless his people with peace!"

Psalm 29:11

Every person in this life desires to know what God promises in this verse, strength, and peace.

The trials of life take our strength and disturb the heart. There is a deep longing within the heart to rest, not only a momentary peace but one that is enduring. The people of God have a hope that the Lord is going to make all things new. When strength and peace will last for all eternity.

Jesus is our peace and strength today. The Spirit of God supplies our daily needs and gives us strength for the day. Our minds and hearts are guarded by Christ and kept in His reassuring peace.

Let us lay hold of this promise today, knowing the lasting fulfillment of permanent strength and peace is not too far off.

In Christ Alone,

The Lord Hears | Nov. 15th

"He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry. As soon as he hears it, he answers you."

Isaiah 30:19

Beloved, have you ever hesitated to ask for help? Perhaps you believed that your plea would not be received. Unfortunately, painful experiences have caused you to distrust. Your failures and the broken promises of others have quenched your faith.

May we all be healed from brokenness and be renewed in our faith. God has committed Himself unto His people. He has promised to be with and for us. The Lord knows all the details of our lives and has welcomed us into fellowship with Him.

The grace of God is ours in Christ. Our cries entreat the Lord, bringing His faithfulness and goodness to us. Do not hesitate, and do not doubt or be afraid. Lift your voice to the Lord, and He will answer you.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight

The Signature of God | Nov. 14th

"I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts."

Jeremiah 31:33

Beloved, have you ever had a foreign object stuck in your eye? You could not remove it without assistance because you could not see it. You were helpless because of your condition.

The hopeless condition of having our vision impaired resembles our inability to write the law of God upon our hearts. We cannot put the law of God within ourselves or have it inscribed upon our hearts so that it becomes a part of who we are.

The Spirit of God is the only one who can put the law within us. The hand of God alone can write His law upon our hearts. We are powerless to do so and often lack the desire. As we seek help in momentary blindness, may we seek the Lord to write upon our hearts. With humility, let us seek the help of God and surrender our hearts to Him. The Lord is willing and able to write His law and purposes in our lives.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight
