Mercy for Today | July 29th

“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”

  Lamentations 3:32-33

  The dawning of a new day does not always appear to greet us with signs of mercy and endless love. The cares of yesterday did not change; their weight grew heavier, and there is fresh cause for concern. We are left to wonder, how long shall I endure?

  Beloved, the steadfast love of God and His mercies are not represented by comfort or ease. The Lord Himself is your mercy and steadfast love for the day. The Holy Spirit living in you is the glory of God’s mercy and the sureness of His lovingkindness. The Lord will surely help you in all your needs, but may you fix your eyes of faith upon the One who is holding you in the palm of His hand. The Lord will never let you go and will lead you through this day.

In Christ Alone,

Pour Out Your Heart | Psalm 62:8

 “ Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us.”

  Psalm 62:8

  It is a blessing to have someone we can pour our hearts out to. To bare our thoughts and feelings without a need for clarification or concerns of being judged without being heard first. Beloved, you will never have anyone who will take you in as the Lord. You can safely reveal all of your heart to Him. The Lord already knows.

  The Lord desires for you to pour out your heart before Him. To bring all your cares to Him. God often uses our trials to draw us closer to Himself. To show us how much we need and can trust Him. So do not delay any longer, cast your burdens upon the Lord.

  The Lord will not forsake you. He is already at work on your behalf and is keeping you.

In Christ Alone.

No More Wars | July 25th

 “Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared.”

   1 John 3:2

  We have contemplated this verse for a few days, thinking of the different ways in which we will be different when all things are made new. That which awaits us is beyond what we can imagine, yet its reality is true as any experience of today.

  What is a painful reality to us in this life is the struggle with our sinful nature and the temptations from without. We are vexed inwardly and outwardly. From the time we are aware of right and wrong to our final hour, temptations are present.

  The day is coming, beloved, when we will no longer struggle with the enemy of our soul or our flesh. The full work of redemption will be realized and enjoyed for all of eternity. We will know peace like we have never experienced in this life. So do not lose heart, the reward is just ahead. The enemy will be fully annihilated, and we will enter into that final rest. The armor will no longer be needed, and we will worship our Lord forevermore. Praising Him for the victory won on our behalf.

In Christ Alone.
