Healing | March 20th

"He took our illnesses and bore our diseases."

Matthew 8:17

Beloved, though our outward man is perishing, we have the promise that the Holy Spirit is renewing our inner man daily. The promise of regeneration should not keep us from asking for physical healing.

God will providentially heal us according to His will. The Lord may allow the medicine to succeed, or He will touch us without the aid of modern medicine and in some instances we may suffer.

In all of this, we should look to the Lord, knowing that He is working all things for the good of our salvation. Let us be emboldened to seek for healing. Our diseases were taken by Him. If we do not experience our healing here a day is coming when death will be swallowed by life. We shall put away mortality for immortality and dwell with God.

In Christ Alone.

From the Depths | March 19th

"Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord!"

Psalm 130:1

The Psalmist is not the first or the last of God's children who have been in the depths of despair. Some Christians mistakenly think that depression or overwhelming anxiety is something believers do not experience. Sadly that is not the case.

We can become emotionally broken just as our arms can. Broken bones tend to heal more quickly than hearts and a wounded spirit is more painful than a broken bone. A fractured limb can be easily diagnosed while the heart is far more difficult.

The hope we have is that there is not a pain so deep that the Lord is not with us or able to bring us out. Christ has suffered far beyond what we could ever fathom and He is able to help us. He knows what we are facing and willing to comfort us. Let us lift our voice if we be in the depths today, God will answer.

In Christ Alone.

Messengers of Mercy | March 18th

"Have mercy on those who doubt."

Jude 1:22

Beloved, we all desire to be people of strong faith, but let us recognize that we all have doubts.

When we consider how we struggle at times with our doubts and desire mercy from our fellow believers, we should show mercy when we see someone having doubts. We do not always have a firm hold upon convictions and battle with anxiety. In such seasons we need merciful encouragement and listening ears.

Let us be those who encourage others with mercy and words that edify. Gracious servants of Christ willing to strengthen the doubting heart of others. God has shown us mercy in our times of doubts let us be the comforters of God for His people.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight
