Help for the Weak | Dec. 11th

" I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek your servant."

Psalm 119:176

"Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it

Prone to leave the God I love

Here's my heart, Lord, take and seal it

Seal it for Thy courts."

Come Thou Fount

The Psalmist and the hymnist see within their heart the tendency to stray. If we look within, we find no strength to endure. No peace that we can muster that will keep us from dismay. We do not have a reservoir of hope to bring joy for the hour of testing or the wisdom for all our doubts.

Our plea and hope is Christ alone. He is the One that we cast ourselves upon. Christ is the One we hide ourselves in. If you are weary and afraid today, do not look to yourself. Acknowledge your need for God's mercy and grace. Ask Him to keep you and to finish the good work God has begun in you. You will find that the Lord is faithful to keep you. You are not alone in your weakness. All of God's people trust in Him to keep them.

In Christ Alone,

You Are Heard | Dec. 10th

"Let my cry come before you, O Lord. "

Psalm 119:169

It is our privilege to be heard by God today. The plea of the Psalmist will not go unnoticed. This same hope is yours, beloved.

Do not doubt your acceptance in Christ. Jesus has reconciled you to the Father. Therefore, you come to His throne of grace with confidence. Knowing you are received and heard. There is peace now in your life and the assurance that God is with you and for you. So do not hesitate to cast your cares upon the Lord.

He will lift them from your shoulders and sustain you. Look to the Lord today. Your heavenly Father hears your cry.

In Christ Alone,

Unseen | Dec. 9th

"God chose what is low and despised in the world."

1 Corinthians 1:28

Beloved, do not despair today if you are struggling with the significance of your life. In an age when people or events are sensationalized, one can wonder if their life matters.

It is not how well-known you are or how many talents you may have that matters, but faithfulness. God chose us while we were dead in sin. There was absolutely nothing significant about us or anything that we could offer to Him. We were chosen by grace alone. From this place of hopelessness, we were brought into fellowship with God and purpose.

The Lord makes us a vessel fit for His purpose. No matter how small the task or unnoticed by men, it is to be done for the glory of God, and in that, there is great reward. Faint not, who you are in Christ, and what you do for Him is not in vain.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight
