RSVP | Sep. 1st

 “The Spirit and the Bride say, ‘Come.’ And let the one who hears say, ‘Come.’ And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price.”

   Revelation 22:17

   Beloved, the Lord is high and holy, but His mercy is no less. Our sins are as scarlet, but His atonement has removed the guilt and shame. Therefore, let not doubts keep you from receiving the invitation.

   We cannot and dare not come on our own merit. Christ has called us by name, and so we come to a table that has been prepared for us. He has set the place where you shall be seated. He has made provision, and there shall be no want at the table of God.

   Let us hear the call of God today. Let us come to the table of His word and receive all that we need according to the promises of God. The invitation still stands, do not delay and come. The Lord would not invite you unless He has already provided for you and desires you to be present.

In Christ Alone.

 “For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown for his name in serving the saints, as you still do.”

   Hebrews 6:10

   The deeds of kindness that we do in the name of the Lord for His people do not go unnoticed. Let us be reminded that whatever we do for the lord is never in vain. As you desire to be a blessing to others because of your love for God and the body of Christ, know that the Lord sees it all.

   There may be times when you will become weary in well-doing, feel alone, or unappreciated. Do not become disheartened; rather, fix your eyes upon the Lord. Remember His kindness towards you and how faithful God has been in your life. Seek His approval and renewed strength. The Lord will help you and notice all that you are doing for Him, both in public and in secret, for the benefit of His children.

 Rest in the favor of God. By His grace, you shall hear, “ Well done, good and faithful servant, enter into your rest.”

In Christ Alone.

 “Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him.”

   Matthew 8:3

  I recently caught my finger in a door. This resulted in the nail turning black. A visit to the doctor to cauterize the nail so the blood underneath would be released. Eventually, the nail fell off. The finger did not look well. On a couple of occasions, a cashier would cringe and hesitate to receive payment from that hand. So I would try to cover it until it was more presentable.

  This is a far cry from leprosy, and leprosy is even less offensive than our sinful nature. Jesus still stretched out His hand to cleanse the leper and make him whole. Christ continues to stretch out His hand to make us whole. Let us be assured today that the loving, healing, and forgiving hand of God will still touch us. He knows that the only way our corruptible nature can be made clean is by the touch of the Holy Spirit.

   The hand of the Lord is extended to you; be made whole.

In Christ Alone.
