The Lord Hears | Nov. 15th

"He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry. As soon as he hears it, he answers you."

Isaiah 30:19

Beloved, have you ever hesitated to ask for help? Perhaps you believed that your plea would not be received. Unfortunately, painful experiences have caused you to distrust. Your failures and the broken promises of others have quenched your faith.

May we all be healed from brokenness and be renewed in our faith. God has committed Himself unto His people. He has promised to be with and for us. The Lord knows all the details of our lives and has welcomed us into fellowship with Him.

The grace of God is ours in Christ. Our cries entreat the Lord, bringing His faithfulness and goodness to us. Do not hesitate, and do not doubt or be afraid. Lift your voice to the Lord, and He will answer you.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight

The Signature of God | Nov. 14th

"I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts."

Jeremiah 31:33

Beloved, have you ever had a foreign object stuck in your eye? You could not remove it without assistance because you could not see it. You were helpless because of your condition.

The hopeless condition of having our vision impaired resembles our inability to write the law of God upon our hearts. We cannot put the law of God within ourselves or have it inscribed upon our hearts so that it becomes a part of who we are.

The Spirit of God is the only one who can put the law within us. The hand of God alone can write His law upon our hearts. We are powerless to do so and often lack the desire. As we seek help in momentary blindness, may we seek the Lord to write upon our hearts. With humility, let us seek the help of God and surrender our hearts to Him. The Lord is willing and able to write His law and purposes in our lives.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight

The Angels of God | Nov. 13th

" The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them."

Psalm 34:7

Beloved, do you feel as if you are alone today? Do you think that you face your trials alone?

Do not be dismayed. God has promised never to forsake you and to work all things for your redemptive good. The Holy Spirit dwells within you. He comforts and empowers you through this life. In Christ, you have become a part of His church where the brothers and sisters of the Lord encourage each other.

The psalmist reveals another group dispatched by the Lord to minister to His people. The angelic host who carries out the purposes of God to the benefit of His people. Some have distorted this sacred blessing, but we cannot make the mistake of ignoring the scripture's mention of the angels of God and how they have acted on behalf of God for His people. They are not to be worshiped or prayed to our sought-after, but may we thank God for all His blessings and acknowledge we are not alone in this world.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight
