Unhappy | Sep. 24th

 “Restore to me the joy of your salvation.”

  Psalm 51:12

    Beloved, if we are honest, there are times when we become dull. We do not regard the glory and the privilege of the salvation we have in Christ. Worship and the gathering with the saints do not enrapture us. We tend to blame others or the songs chosen. We no longer hunger for the word as we once did, while our time of prayer feels more like a duty than a fellowship with a loving God.

  Let us ask the Lord to restore the joy of our salvation. Let us begin to seek that the Holy Spirit rekindle our hearts and minds. We have been saved by grace alone, and this same grace keeps us. The Lord is able to keep our hearts fervent with the joy of being a child of God. Ask, and the joy of your salvation will be given unto you.

In Christ Alone.

Feeling Trapped | Sep. 23rd

“He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler.”

Psalm 91:3

   Beloved, sometimes we feel as defenseless and helpless as a little bird, but God has promised to deliver us. The sanre has been set and we feel as though we cannot be freed from our circumstances. We do not see how we shall survive our current situation. But God has promised not to forsake us.

  Beloved, the Lord is at work even though your heart feels hopeless. He will deliver you. God’s grace will prove to be sufficient in the midst of the trial, even though there will not be an immediate change. The Spirit of the Lord will sustain you. Put your hope in God today, you will not succumb to the snare of the fowler.

In Christ Alone.

The Vine | Sep 22nd.

“I am the true vine.”

   John 15:1

  Jesus is the life source of the believer. He alone brings eternal life to the church and enables us to become the children of God. Only in Christ do we have eternal life. Only in Christ are we reconciled unto God. Only in Christ can we bring glory to God.

  There is no life outside of Jesus. Let us believe and trust that the Lord sustains every branch. We do not attach ourselves to the vine or hold to the vine by our strength. Christ sustains every branch. It is His faithfulness and power that keep us. Beloved, you are kept today by the power of God. In Jesus, you have grace, mercy, and peace.

  Let us look to Jesus, the vine, to bring us strength for the day with the assurance that His goodness and mercy are with us.

In Christ Alone.
