Prince of Peace | May 6th

"You were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot."

1 Peter 1:18-19

Beloved, what is your hope today? Where shall you find peace and hope in every circumstance? It is the Gospel that strengthens the spirit. It is the Gospel that will lift you in every situation.

The eternal God, who is unchanging and faithful, has given you His great and precious promises. The foundation of your hope is God's word. The person of the Gospel, Jesus Christ, has laid down His life for you. He ransomed you from sin. Christ purchased you with His life by shedding His blood.

The sinless Lamb of God made atonement for you and you belong to God. The Lord will not forsake you. He will watch over you and keep you all the days of your life. The Gospel gives you peace today for Christ is the Prince of Peace.

In Christ Alone.

A Marked Man | May 5th

"So the chief priests made plans to put Lazarus to death as well."

John 12:10

What a peculiar thought. The chief priests planned to kill a man who was previously dead but had been risen to life again by Jesus.

They wanted to destroy the testimony of Lazarus, which verified that Jesus was the resurrection and life.

Beloved, let us live with the sober reality that the enemy has a similar notion concerning you. Your life stands as a testimony to the power of Christ. You were once dead in sin, but Christ has brought you into new life. You are a living epistle of God's saving grace and mercy. The spirit of this age has the same animosity towards you as it did against Lazarus.

Be not dismayed or afraid. God has promised never to leave you and will keep you until the race is run. The Lord is with you today.

In Christ Alone.

A Brighter Day | My 2nd

"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. And God said, ' Let there be light,' and there was light. And God saw that it was good."

Genesis 1:1,3-4

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

Revelation 21:5

Beloved, from the beginning of creation, all that God has done is good. We cannot comprehend or know the span of time between Genesis 1 and when God will make all things new, but we can be confident that His goodness will continue to be with us.

Life is filled with complexities and sorrows. There are times of confusion and uncertainty. However, the Lord is with us. He has promised never to forsake us. The Lord watches over us with steadfast love. Working all things for our good and blessing us along the way.

Life is beautiful and the mercy of the Lord is extended to us. Be not dismayed today. God is good and it will only get better when He makes all things new. There is another life awaiting us in the dawn of eternity.

In Christ Alone.
