The Fountain of Life | May 26th

"On that day there shall be a fountain opened for the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and uncleanness."

Zechariah 13:1

The fountain Zechariah foresaw has opened in Christ. The sinless Lamb of God laid down His life for His own, and the blood of Christ has cleansed us from our sins and uncleanness.

It is the day that we should rejoice in—the day Christ reconciled us to God. He brought us into right standing with God while also removing our sins from us, as far as the East is from the West.

The fountain is open in the person of Jesus Christ. This fountain shall never lose its cleansing power and will freely cleanse all who seek to be forgiven and made whole. Come today, be made clean, and receive a refresher from God.

In Christ Alone,

There is Forgiveness | May 23rd

"Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love."

Joel 2:13

Sadly, in this life, we may have experienced strife with a person with whom we knew reconciliation would be impossible or difficult. Sometimes, family or friends find themselves in a situation where they cannot reach an agreement or a place of forgiveness.

Unfortunately, we carry these experiences into our understanding of God. We do not expect God's grace and mercy in light of our sins and failures. Beloved, God is willing to forgive the penitent heart.

The Lord is slow to anger. He is gracious and merciful. Come to God with a sincere heart of repentance, and you will find mercy.

In Christ Alone.

Fear Not | May 22nd

"Fear not,...the Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save."

Zepaniah 3:16,17

Why shouldn't we be afraid? God, who saves, is for us. The firm conviction in God's promise that He is for us drives fear from our hearts.

Everyone is susceptible to anxiety due to the cares of life. If we are wise, we understand the frailty of life. The careful observer understands that our lives are a vapor and that tomorrow is not guaranteed. Whether we experience trial or pleasure, the assurance that the Lord is with us carries us through the day.

The God who saves has promised that His mercy shall be made new every morning. That He is with us and will not forsake us. Therefore, do not fear, but put your trust in the Lord.

In Christ Alone.
