A Song for the Day | March 21st

"All creation, come praise the name of the Lord. Praise his name alone. The glory of God is greater than heaven and earth."

Psalm 148:13

One of the wonders and beauty of this season is the predawn symphony. In those moments of twilight in predawn, there is a host of God's creations who give a sweet melody. Far more soothing and majestic than any windchime. The birds of creation greet the dawning of the day with their song.

The fowl of the sky serves as a testament to the God of Creation. A witness to His power, wisdom, and lovingkindness. Beloved, may our ears be opened to their choir and stirred to lift our voices to our God. They are creatures of instinct while we have been made in the image of the Creator. We choose to worship. Thoughts and emotions joined together in adoration and gratitude. We have far more to awaken the day with. Far more to be grateful for. Let us start this day with an attitude of praise. For we are the children of God.

In Christ Alone,

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.
