How to Live | Aug. 28th

"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: "

Ecclesiastes 3:1

Beloved, what season in life are you in? What are the current circumstances? How do you see them?

Some seasons of life are more enjoyable than others. Some life events are celebrated and planned for, while others, we desire to avoid.

Our response to life's seasons should be one of seeking God to be glorified in our lives. We need to be asking the Lord what He desires from us. Where should I live, and what should I do with my life for the Lord?

The Bible instructs us in what God requires of us, and as we learn through scripture what pleases the Lord. We then know how to live from day to day while seeking the direction of God. Let us desire to live for God today and enjoy Him forever.

There is Help | Aug. 23rd

"Call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me."

Psalm 50:15

Beloved, are you in trouble this day? Are you overwhelmed with a burden, a test too overwhelming for your heart? Call upon the Lord. He is ever present to help.

The Lord is the master of the breakthrough, who can change all things, for nothing is too hard for Him. In love, the Lord may not answer immediately or in the way you have requested, but He will certainly work all things for your good.

God has promised not to forsake you. His mercy be made new for you, and His grace will be sufficient for anything you face. Call upon the Lord in your trouble. He is near to you and willing to help. You will see the goodness of the Lord and glorify His name.

Do Not Be Afraid | Aug. 22nd

"Fret not yourself because of evildoers; ... Trust in the Lord, and do good, .."

Psalm 37:1, 3

There are many concerning events in the culture at this present time. Ideologies and actions that are in direct contradiction with God and His word. Circumstances like this have the potential of disquieting the heart and mind. We could end up being fixated upon what is negative and become weary in well doing.

God's people must set their minds and hearts upon God and His word. To entrust themselves to Him and all that concerns us. We are to be light in this world, beloved. This implies that the world is dark by nature. We live in a fallen culture that has rejected the Lord and His word. In this hostile environment, God has sent us out.

We do this not in our strength but in the power of the Lord. The Holy Spirit equips, encourages, and comforts us in life. Let not your heart be troubled. Trust in the Lord and the power of His might. God is with you.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight
