Generosity | Sep. 17th

“One gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.”

  Proverbs 11:24

  Beloved, wealth is not always measured in monetary terms. A person who gives freely can become richer by the blessings they bestow upon another. Because it is more blessed to give than to receive. When generosity is expressed, it generates gratitude, joy, and comfort in others. Those who exercise this kindness find that they, in turn, experience joy in seeing others blessed.

 Those who withhold when they have the means to help only find themselves in want. They might not have a material need, but they lack compassion. Their life is void of the blessing that comes with helping others. There is a joy and renewed strength that comes from meeting the needs of others, even if something is given sacrificially.

  The joy that comes with generosity can only be tasted by the one who gives. Let us give what we can today, so that others may be blessed and thank God for His goodness to them.

In Christ Alone.

“My Father is the vine dresser.”

   John 15:1

  Jesus told His disciples that the Heavenly Father is the vinedresser of His people. God tends to the well-being of His people.

  The vinedresser not only prunes his vineyard, but he also ensures its health and well-being. He protects it from vermin and pestilence, all of those things that would corrupt, weaken, and cause decay to the vineyard. Beloved, may you understand God’s protective care and affection for that which belongs to HIm.

  God is watching over you today. He is concerned for your spiritual well-being, and the Holy Spirit has come to ensure that you are strengthened from day to day. You are not defenseless or hopeless in this world. You are a branch abiding in Christ; in Him, you have eternal life. Trust the Lord today. God is with you.

In Christ Alone.

Moving Forward | Sep. 15th

 “ The Lord God helps me; therefore I have not been disgraced; therefore I have set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame.”

  Isaiah 50:7

  Beloved, your ability to persevere comes from God’s faithfulness to strengthen you. The assurance of God working in and through our lives enables us to trust His providence.

  We belong to the Lord, and He has promised never to forsake us. With this hope, we face each moment knowing that we are not alone. We are not dependent only on our abilities or resources; we know that God knows all things. He calls us by name and has promised to supply our needs.

  The Lord saved us by His grace. He will keep us by grace, and we can set our face like flint with unwavering conviction that He will see us through all the seasons of life. Put your trust in the Lord today; you will not be disgraced, you will not be put to shame, because He will help you.

In Christ Alone.
