Lost at Sea | May 1st

"He will again have compassion on us; he will tread our iniquities underfoot. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea."

    Micah 7:19

   These words would have reminded the Israelites of God's deliverance at the Red Sea and the triumph over the Egyptians. There the Lord opened the sea so His people could safely pass through. Then, their enemies were overcome by those waters, never to rise again.

  We have no greater enemy than our transgressions. Our sins haunt us, and the flesh prevails unless the Spirit of God empowers us. It is this new life we have in Christ that enables us to be more than conquerors.

   The Lord had compassion on us and continues with steadfast love towards us. The Lord has trampled our transgressions underfoot with His life. Casting our sins, the enemy of our soul, into the sea, never to rise again. There they remain, powerless, never to condemn or disgrace those who are redeemed.

  Rejoice this day that the Lord has thrown your sins into the sea. You have been born again by the Spirit of God and cleansed by the blood of the Lamb.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight

Help Us | April 30th

"O Lord, there is none like you to help, between the mighty and the weak. Help us, O Lord our God, for we rely on you, "

  2 Chronicles 14:11

   The prayer is simple, the plea genuine, God help. It will not take many eloquent words to catch the attention of our Lord. God is attentive to the cry of His people. It is His nature to have compassion upon us. This does not mean we are exempt from trials, persecutions, and burdens. But through them all, He is with us.

  We choose to trust in the Lord, coming to Him in prayer. Let us acknowledge our need for God's help. He helps the weak. The needy and defenseless can rely upon the Lord's divine intervention on their behalf. God works things for the good of our salvation, even that which appears to be against us. The Lord will not abandon us in our difficult hour. He will minister grace and peace unto us. None can and will help like our Lord.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight

Out of the Pit | April 29th

"You brought my life from the pit, O Lord my God."

  Jonah 2:6

   The pit of sin and despair is bottomless. No one could ever free themselves from this pit of death. God's merciful hand alone had to reach us, taking hold and lifting us from the wages of sin and death.

    The gracious hand of God still holds you to this day, beloved. He has promised that nothing in this world shall ever be able to pluck you from the hand of God.

    The Lord keeps you, loves you, and watches over you this day. He who lifted you from the pit into the hope of eternal life will continue to keep you. Do not be anxious for today or tomorrow. If the Lord helped you when you were powerless and alienated from Him. How much more now will the grace of God be extended to you because you belong to Him?

   Your position in Christ is sure and steadfast.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight
