Just Another Day | Oct. 6th

 “ A woman from Samaria came to draw water.”

   John 4:7

  This woman is similar to many people mentioned in scripture. In that, no name is given. It appears to be a random person within many of the historical records of scripture. These lives reveal God is at work beyond their own understanding.

   Let us not take the providence of God for granted. He is at work in your life right now. We pass through the day without fully understanding how much God is at work in daily affairs and within our thoughts. God has set a path before us, and He is with His people.

  The Samaritan woman did not know what was going to unfold on that day. How her life would be changed for all of eternity because she was going to meet Christ, the Son of God. She did not set out to meet Him or desire to know Jesus, but He sought her.

  Let us be aware of God’s divine intervention in our lives and those He brings into our lives so that we might lead them to the living water. Nothing is by chance, and we are not held to fate as the children of God. God’s plan is fulfilled in and through our lives. The providence of God is always at work.

In Christ Alone.

A New Day | Oct. 3rd

 “In the beginning, God created the heavens and earth.”

      Genesis 1:1

    “And he who was seated on the throne said,’ Behold, I am making all things new.’”

       Revelation 21:5

  Beloved, the Creator of heaven and earth is not far from your life today. He has not ceased from working in your life or been exhausted by our slow progress. The Lord remains faithful to HIs purposes and nothing can inhibit the will of God.

  Be encouraged that the Lord has intended to make all things new at the end of time and constantly renews our lives until then. We are not a hobby or a pet project to only be completed halfway. The Lord has saved us so that we might have life more abundantly in Him. We are branches that live by the life of the vine, who are protected by the vinedresser and who need constant pruning.

  The Lord is making all things new continually in us through the work of sanctification by grace. Rejoice today in Him and for the new life you have in Christ. Soon, all things will be made new forever.

In Christ Alone.

Tired of Life | Oct. 3rd

 “I am weary with crying out; my throat is parched. My eyes grow dim with waiting for my God.”

   Psalm 69:3

   Beloved, the Lord has promised never to forsake us; however, there are seasons when we feel He has. One of the beautiful things about the Psalms is that nothing is hidden. We see the raw emotions that some Christians try to hide or ignore..

   Some Christians act as if nothing terrible has ever happened to them in life. While others make you feel they have never doubted God, questioned their faith, or have been upset with God. There is true sorrow in the Christian life. Moments when we wonder if God hears us, sees us, or even knows we exist.

  We are exhausted in prayer, tired of trying to believe, and wonder what the point of the trials is. In these seasons be not dismayed. Do not think that you are the only child of God who has ever dealt with such thoughts and conflicting feelings. But know this, many have come before you and others in the same place today, but God has never failed His people. His grace will prove sufficient, and mercy is covering you more than the cares of life. The cross proves the unfailing love of God and His promises

In Christ Alone.
