Lost at Sea | June 3rd

"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

Compassion, where would you be not for the mercy of God? Beloved, we cannot fully understand the magnitude of God's compassion until we see it in the light of His holiness. In the light of God's holiness, we see our sinfulness.

It is sin that separates us from God. It is our iniquities that He has trampled underfoot. God had compassion for us. In one monumental moment, all of our sins were paid for and swept into the depths of the sea, never to be remembered again.

Christ the Redeemer made atonement for us, and now we are reconciled. The promise of reconciliation in Christ is the assurance for today. In Christ, God is for us and will never forsake us.

In Christ Alone.

Daily Bread | June 2nd

"Jesus said to them, " I am the bread of life."

John 6:35

Life contains mystery, wonder, and strife. It demands perseverance and wisdom. It will not take many years in one's journey to realize man cannot live by bread alone.

There are many pleasures in life, but nothing possesses an eternal quality. Nothing can help a person or keep them at peace within every season. We must look beyond ourselves and what is supplied by the world around us.

The God of creation has blessed us through His common grace within creation. What we need beyond this is divine intervention. We need the grace of God and the work of the Spirit within our daily lives. It is in Christ, the bread of heaven, that the soul is satisfied, fed, and preserved through all of life's journey. Jesus declared Himself to be the bread of life. Let us partake of Him today, for in Him there is life more abundant.

In Christ Alone.

Before Sunset | May 30th

"Before the day passes away like chaff-

Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land,"

Zephaniah 2:2, 3

By the mercies of God, we have this day. We cannot regain yesterday, and there is no knowledge of tomorrow. It is today that the Lord requires of you.

If we believe that the chief end of our life is to live for God, then every morning is directed in that truth. There is no time to be consumed with self or to fret away the day with anxiety. Today, the Lord has granted unto us to enjoy Him and live for the glory of God.

Let us humble ourselves before the Lord and follow Him in faithful obedience while counting all the blessings God has bestowed upon us. Do not let this day pass without fellowship with God and entrusting yourself to His care.

In Christ Alone.
