Count Your Blessings | May 9th

"I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; I will recount all of your wonderful deeds."

Psalm 9:1

What will you remember today? How shall you look back over the week and the months that have passed, fading into years?

There are times of sorrow, failures, and missed opportunities. This narrow perspective can embitter the heart and rob one of hope. It is far better for us to recall all the blessings of God. Let us begin the day by counting God's promises kept. The prayers He has answered, and remember the Lord's daily provisions in our lives.

The Lord has done far more than we can recall and understand. We must give thanks to God with all of our hearts. Doing our best to recite each miracle and the wonder of saving grace. Give thanks to the Lord today and count your blessings.

In Christ Alone.

Help Me | May 8th

"Lord, save me."

Matthew 14:30

In our hour of distress, faith does not always prevail over anxiety. The humble cry the Lord will not refuse. Hope is rooted in God's goodness. We make our plea in light of His steadfast love and power.

We shall receive the grace that delivers not because of our tremendous faith but because of His infinite mercy. The Lord delights in our trust in Him, but He holds our hand.

The Spirit of God quickens our mortal hearts and strengthens our spirits. God hears your cry for help today. He will not deny you or turn you away. Trust that the Lord is working all things for the good of your salvation and that He is with you. Christ the Redeemer will save you.

In Christ Alone,

"I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ."

Philippians 1:6

There was a time when John, the follower of Christ, wanted to call fire down upon the Samaritans. That same man became known as John the Beloved, the writer of the Gospel of John, the three letters of John, and the book of Revelation.

Jesus chose John not because He saw the potential within him but because the Lord knew how He could change John. All have fallen short of the glory of God and we are in this world without hope. Christ came and saved us from our sins.

Christ has transformed our lives in the same way He saved John. Beloved, the good work that the Lord has started in you shall be completed by Him. Every child of God was in a fallen state before they became a brand new creation in Christ. The Lord has and will continue to transform your life.

In Christ Alone.
