Secure | June 17th

"Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand."

Romans 5:2

It is in Christ alone that we have been saved and are eternally kept. We can never step off the cornerstone, Jesus Christ, and we can never come out from under the capstone, Jesus Christ.

It is in Him that we are firmly grounded and covered. The grace of God is what keeps and renews us day by day. You are never to venture out in your strength or self-righteousness. The assurance we have as the children of God is in His grace. Knowing that His mercy is new each day and that we are forever kept through grace alone.

Let this be your hope, joy, and peace.

In Christ Alone.

Playing the Fool | June 16th

"I was brutish and ignorant; I was like a beast toward you. Nevertheless, I am continually with you; you hold my right hand."

Psalm 73:22-23

The Psalmist does not give us an excuse to doubt God or question His providence. However, he does reveal the inner struggle we have at times in our walk with the Lord.

Unfortunately, there is a tendency to stray while the heart can become indifferent. When we come to our senses, we realize that we have sinned against our Savior, the only hope we have in this world and the One who is worthy of our adoration.

Truly, God has never forsaken us, and we have only come this far by faith because of the mercy of God. Beloved, let us humble ourselves before the Lord and seek His mercy. Let us respond appropriately to the One who is holding us.

In Christ Alone.

Goodness is Coming | June 12th

For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay."

Habakkuk 2:3

Beloved, let us remember that God's timing is always good. If God is working all things for our redemptive good, then we can anticipate that the providence of the Lord is brought about with kindness.

Delays and disappointments are not meant to bring us to despair. We will experience sadness and frustration, but the Lord is also completing within us the good work He began. The Holy Spirit is working within our hearts.

We will find that the Holy Spirit will bring peace and grace to our hearts. We should look forward to knowing the goodness of God is present and goes before us at an appointed time. The Lord has never failed us.

In Christ Alone.
