Spirit of God | April 9th

"The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit."

John 3:8

It is often said the winds of March bring in the spring. We see the evidence of these winds every season without a complete understanding of where they have come from or where they are going. Some winds are like a gentle breeze while others hold tremendous force. Either way, the evidence is apparent.

The Holy Spirit cannot be seen and His divine intervention within a life is a miracle. However, it is evident when the Spirit of God has transformed a life. A person once dead in sin has been brought to life by the Holy Spirit. The heart is changed and the life is set on a new path. The Life of the person is transformed and it is undeniable.

Beloved, let be evident that the Holy Spirit is at work within our lives. Though it cannot be fully explained may it be said that we are a new creation in Christ.

In Christ Alone,

Simply Trust | April 8th

" And he came out and went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him."

Luke 22:39

Jesus had been sharing the Passover with His disciples. He said many things that evening that were hard to hear and could not be fully understood. Jesus also told them that He had more to share but that they could not bear it now. One can only imagine what they were thinking and what their hearts were feeling. Despite this, the disciples still followed Jesus into the garden.

Beloved, we do not always understand what the Lord is trying to show us in our lives. We do not always understand His timing or ways. If we are honest, there are circumstances that we do not like at all.

When these times come, let us follow the example of the disciples. Let us continue to follow Christ. Follow the Lord into the garden even when you do not understand or know what the outcome may be. Simply trust the Lord. All God is asking of you is to trust Him.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight

You are Heard | April 7th

"Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save, or his ear dull, that it cannot hear;"

Isaiah 59:1

It is challenging to converse with a person who is hard of hearing. Sometimes you have to repeat yourself to be heard. There can be confusion about the subject of the conversation. In some situations there is no response because nothing was heard at all.

Thankfully our Heavenly Father hears the faintest cries. He hears the pleas from our hearts that have no words. The whisper that comes from a fainting spirit catches the attention of our Lord. He identifies us as His children and is willing to help us.

Let us take courage today, knowing that the hand of God is extended unto us in mercy. He will have compassion for you. Do not be discouraged for you are not alone. The Lord knows everything that concerns you today.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight
