Godly Sorrow | Sep. 6th

"... though he causes grief, he will have compassion according to the abundance of his steadfast love; "

Lamentations 3:32

The Lord's chastisement is redemptive in its purpose. God is concerned with the eternal condition of our souls. If the momentary comfort of our lives is rooted in sin, He will afflict such a heart, bringing it to a place of true repentance.

The Holy Spirit is faithful to trouble the wayward heart. He takes peace from the mind and stirs the heart until it is restless. Beloved, let us trust that the Lord is working all things for the good of His redemptive purpose in our lives and those we are praying for. Even the grief He causes is guided by steadfast love.

Perhaps the Lord's steadfast love is working grief in the lives of your unsaved loved ones. Keep praying and entrust them to the Lord.

In Christ Alone,

Safe and Sound | Sep. 5th

"If God is for us, who can be against us?"

Romans 8:31

Satan has been in opposition to God's people from the beginning. The one against us is called the accuser of the brethren and the father of all lies. The Bible warns about his evil schemes and fiery darts that he wishes to assail us with.

With all this, we shall not be afraid of the evil one, for the Lord is for us and with us. Christ is our Redeemer. He has cleansed us from all unrighteousness. Jesus has imputed His righteousness and holiness unto us. Whatever the enemy tries to condemn us with, our advocate silences the accusations.

Christ has saved us with His own life. He holds us in the palm of His hand, and nothing in this life can separate us from the Love of God in Christ Jesus. The Lord is your strength, hope, and peace today.

A Light for the Soul | Sep. 4th

"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light unto my path."

Psalm 119:105

Beloved, we know that this world is in darkness. We understand that we are not to be like the world and to stay on the narrow path that leads to life. There is an adversary of our soul who tries to tempt and discourage us from remaining on the straight path. Life comes with trials and pitfalls.

For these reasons, we should have the word of God as the lamp for our feet and the light for our path. Only the word of God can illuminate the right direction and the correct manner in which we need to live.

It is God's word that instructs us and preserves us. Scripture warns, rebukes, comforts, and strengthens us/ Let us take up this light today to walk rightly before the Lord and man.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight
