Messengers of Mercy | March 18th

"Have mercy on those who doubt."

Jude 1:22

Beloved, we all desire to be people of strong faith, but let us recognize that we all have doubts.

When we consider how we struggle at times with our doubts and desire mercy from our fellow believers, we should show mercy when we see someone having doubts. We do not always have a firm hold upon convictions and battle with anxiety. In such seasons we need merciful encouragement and listening ears.

Let us be those who encourage others with mercy and words that edify. Gracious servants of Christ willing to strengthen the doubting heart of others. God has shown us mercy in our times of doubts let us be the comforters of God for His people.

In Christ Alone,

Call on the Lord | March 17th

"He regards the prayer of the destitute and does not despise their prayer."

Psalm 102:17

Beloved, the God of creation, regards your prayer today. The Lord turns His attention towards you when we plead for mercy. His regard is not a passing acknowledgment but one of deep affection. God's love for you is steadfast. He is for you and not against you.

The Lord will not reject the plea for mercy or disregard those who seek His help. God makes His mercy new for you each morning. His providence is working all things for the good of your salvation. There is no care He does not know or a problem God will not help you with.

God knows that our frame is weak, that our lives are but a vapor, and that our only hope is in Him. The gentle Savior will not pass you by but faithfully will attend to you as you call on His name.

In Christ Alone.

Resting | March 14th

"Come to me. all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

Matthew 11:28

The idea of having a moment of rest can be comforting and bring hope. Sometimes, we long for the day to end so that we might find rest. The day often wearies our bodies, minds, and hearts. Even days filled with enjoyment can cause us to be tired.

The brokenness of our spirit from sin, grief, and the pains of life cause the most fatigue upon the soul. We are troubled by what we see in our hearts and the chaos of sin in the world around us. In the midst of despair let us hear the voice of the Savior calling us to come.

He will soothe your troubled heart beloved. The Prince of Peace will give you rest in your spirit. Come to Him today and cast all your cares upon the Lord for He cares for you.

In Christ Alone.

Pastor Wight
