Wisdom is Calling | Sep. 12th

 “ ‘Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!’  To him who lacks sense she says. ‘Come, eat of my bread and drink of the wine I mixed. Leave your simple ways, and live, and walk in the way of insight.’ ”

   Proverbs 9:4-5

  Wisdom gives the invitation to all who would listen. To anyone who would take heed and come partake of wisdom’s goods.

  Godly wisdom is found in God’s word and administered by the Holy Spirit. We must come to the Lord for His guidance and understanding concerning what is true and righteous. For our ways seem right in our eyes and understanding. But our ways do not always align with God and His word. Therefore, we must hear the call from wisdom. We must acknowledge God in all of our ways.

  Beloved, take hold of God’s  word today and seek HIs wisdom through prayer. The table has been set and there is plenty. For the storehouse of God will never be empty.

In Christ Alone.

Wrestling with Wickedness | Sep. 11th

 “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God.

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against.... the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.”

   Ephesians 6:10, 12

   In every form of combat sports, there are weight classes. If you watch the Olympic Games, each discipline will have a weight class. Boxing, wrestling, Judo, and Taekwondo are all categorized into weight categories. If a featherweight is not expected to compete against a heavyweight, why should we believe we can stand alone against the present darkness? How can we resist cosmic powers alone?

  Beloved, evil powers exist in this world. Spiritual forces of wickedness are at work each day.  We overcome not by our strength or wisdom. The Holy Spirit living inside of us is greater than the spirit of the age. We are called to be strong in the Lord, to rely upon His strength, and be clothed in the armor He has supplied.

  Be strong in the Lord today. Commit yourself to God’s care while seeking Him in prayer and the reading of scripture. Christ has won the victory for us.

In Christ Alone.

Are You Listening | Sep. 10th

 “ Incline your ear, and come to me; hear that your soul may live.”

   Isaiah 55:3

    Beloved, there is a standing invitation from the Lord. The invitation to come is given unto you every waking day. If you rose from sleep this morning, then mercy has been extended to you another day.

   You are welcomed with the dawn of the morning to enter into fellowship with God. The Spirit of the Lord urges you to find your hope and peace in Christ. To lay aside your sin, your will, your plan, and lay your hand in God’s hand.

  Only in Christ is there salvation. Only in Christ is there everlasting peace. Only in Christ can you be reconciled unto God. Only in Christ can you be born again through the Holy Spirit. Only in Christ shall you have everlasting life and hope for the day. Incline your ear today so that your soul may live.

In Christ Alone.
