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.

I Will Be Right There | June 11th

"I will come to you."

John 14:18

Hopefully, we all have that one person in mind who, if we needed them in an hour of need, there is no doubt they would respond.

If you do not have such a person in your life, don't despair. For every child of God can call on the Lord in full assurance that He will respond. We are never alone in this world or without hope. With God, there is the assurance of His grace, mercy, and peace daily.

The Holy Spirit is with you and will empower you. The blessings of God will not be withheld, and the enemy cannot destroy you. The Lord has promised to supply your needs and to work in your life providentially. When you call out to God, He will come to you.

In Christ Alone.
