Nothing to Fear | Oct. 8th

 “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?”

    Hebrews 13:6

    Beloved, if we are honest, people can do many things to us that we do not appreciate.  There are some things we have experienced at the hands of others that were not intentional, but they still had a negative impact on us.

  Unfortunately, others have acted maliciously towards us with intent. They have said hurtful things, spread lies, or tried to discourage us in some capacity. Then there is the struggle of living in a fallen world where the spirit of this age wars against those who belong to Christ. We are surrounded by conflict.

  However, through all of this, God is our helper. There is nothing anyone can do that will change God’s purposes for your life. No one can separate you from His love for you or keep the blessings of God away. If we understand the providence of God, His love for us, and that the Lord is faithful, then we will not fear. There is nothing man can do against us outside of God’s knowledge. The Lord is our helper, and He will work all things for our eternal good.

In Christ Alone.

Prayer Request Received | Oct. 7th

  “At the acceptable time, O God, in the abundance of your steadfast love answer me in your saving faithfulness.”

   Psalm 69:13

  Beloved, let our petitions be grounded upon the truth found within this verse. It is our Heavenly Father that we come to. To Him we bring our burdens and cares. There is nothing too hard for God.

  Our prayers are offered in humility. Trusting in the providence of our sovereign Lord. He will answer according to His will and purposes. At the right time and in a way that will be glory to His name while being for our redemptive good.

  Because of God’s unfailing love, we are received, heard, and answered. There is no merit of our own that enables us to stand before God or to make any request of Him. It is by grace alone we stand. The love of God drives fear from our hearts and assures us that we are welcomed in Christ.

  God is faithful and willing to save. These truths bring peace into our spirits and a hope that all things are working for our good. In light of God’s word, make your request known unto Him with thanksgiving in your heart.

In Christ Alone.

Just Another Day | Oct. 6th

 “ A woman from Samaria came to draw water.”

   John 4:7

  This woman is similar to many people mentioned in scripture. In that, no name is given. It appears to be a random person within many of the historical records of scripture. These lives reveal God is at work beyond their own understanding.

   Let us not take the providence of God for granted. He is at work in your life right now. We pass through the day without fully understanding how much God is at work in daily affairs and within our thoughts. God has set a path before us, and He is with His people.

  The Samaritan woman did not know what was going to unfold on that day. How her life would be changed for all of eternity because she was going to meet Christ, the Son of God. She did not set out to meet Him or desire to know Jesus, but He sought her.

  Let us be aware of God’s divine intervention in our lives and those He brings into our lives so that we might lead them to the living water. Nothing is by chance, and we are not held to fate as the children of God. God’s plan is fulfilled in and through our lives. The providence of God is always at work.

In Christ Alone.
