The House Stands | July 16th

God's firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: "The Lord knows those who are his."

2 Timothy 2:19

The church will always stand firm. It has often come under attack, whether by persecution or heresy, but it remains.

The church will always remain because its builder and maker is God. Christ is the cornerstone and capstone of His house. The Lord builds His house with living stones joined together in Him. The Lord knows those who are His.

He knows every heart and life in the church. It is a solemn reminder and one of comfort. When we see fellow believers finish their race well, be assured that the Spirit of God will enable us to finish our course well. The Lord knows you belong to Him, and He will keep you to the end.

In Christ Alone.

Weak Faith | July 14th

"Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe."

John 20:27

Thomas struggled to believe that Christ arose from the grave. His lack of faith did not inhibit Jesus from coming to Thomas. Jesus appeared and addressed his lack of faith. Jesus strengthened Thomas's faith by assuring him that He was truly alive.

Beloved, every believer will face a trial in their life when their faith weakens. We will be challenged in what we believe and if it is worth following Christ. In such moments, God will not abandon us or become impatient. The Holy Spirit strengthens the heart of God's people. Mercy is extended, and the Lord meets us amid our doubts.

Be not dismayed today. The Lord is with you, and if you are filled with doubts, He remains faithful. The Lord will see you through.

In Christ Alone.

Grace is Sufficient | July 11th

"My grace is sufficient for you,"

2 Corinthians 12:9

Will God's grace be sufficient for you today, beloved?

Have you been saved by grace alone? Did the grace of God remove your sins from you as far as the east is from the west? Though your sins wear as scarlet, are you now white as snow by grace? Are all of your sins lost in the depths of the sea of forgetfulness because of God's grace?

If the grace of God has made provision for our atonement, and we are continually secure in salvation through grace alone, by faith alone, in Christ alone. Then this same saving grace will be sufficient for all our needs for all our days until this grace brings us home.

The grace of God is sufficient for you now and always.

In Christ Alone.
