Trustworthy | June 4th

"This saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance."

1 Timothy 1:15

Paul had a particular truth in mind when he made this statement, but his declaration should be taken in light of all God's promises.

The scriptures are trustworthy. You can build your life upon the word of God and will never be put to shame for doing so. You will have no regret living for Christ, and it is the high calling and the chief end of life to live for the glory of God alone.

Let us fully accept the truth and promises of the Bible. With full conviction accept the warnings and promises of scripture. Hold to the word of God and do not waver from it.

Take hold of God's word today for it is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance.

In Christ Alone.

Lost at Sea | June 3rd

"He will again have compassion on us; he will tread our iniquities underfoot. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea."

Micah 7:19

Compassion, where would you be not for the mercy of God? Beloved, we cannot fully understand the magnitude of God's compassion until we see it in the light of His holiness. In the light of God's holiness, we see our sinfulness.

It is sin that separates us from God. It is our iniquities that He has trampled underfoot. God had compassion for us. In one monumental moment, all of our sins were paid for and swept into the depths of the sea, never to be remembered again.

Christ the Redeemer made atonement for us, and now we are reconciled. The promise of reconciliation in Christ is the assurance for today. In Christ, God is for us and will never forsake us.

In Christ Alone.

Daily Bread | June 2nd

"Jesus said to them, " I am the bread of life."

John 6:35

Life contains mystery, wonder, and strife. It demands perseverance and wisdom. It will not take many years in one's journey to realize man cannot live by bread alone.

There are many pleasures in life, but nothing possesses an eternal quality. Nothing can help a person or keep them at peace within every season. We must look beyond ourselves and what is supplied by the world around us.

The God of creation has blessed us through His common grace within creation. What we need beyond this is divine intervention. We need the grace of God and the work of the Spirit within our daily lives. It is in Christ, the bread of heaven, that the soul is satisfied, fed, and preserved through all of life's journey. Jesus declared Himself to be the bread of life. Let us partake of Him today, for in Him there is life more abundant.

In Christ Alone.
