The End of Death | Oct. 13th

“O Death, where are plagues? O Sheol, where is your sting? Compassion is hidden from my eyes.”

   Hosea 13:14

  Death and the grave seem to prevail. There is a heavy sorrow that burdens us when we remember those who have gone before us. Even with the hope of eternal life, we still grieve. For there is still this great divide that separates us from those we love and the moment when all things will be made new.

  Our courage in the face of death is grounded in death's own destruction. The moment when death itself will cease to exist. There is no compassion from God for the grave. Behold the Christ the King who conquered sin and death. He sealed the fate of death while assuring everlasting life for His own. Let us rejoice in the final destruction of death.

In Christ Alone.

The Table is Set | Oct. 10th

 “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.”

    Psalm 23:5

   Beloved, God has prepared a place for you within His providential care. Within His providence, all that is needed in your life will be supplied by your Heavenly Father. There is no need; he is not aware of it.

  When we consider our spiritual condition, our dependence upon God’s mercy and the power of the Holy Spirit, let us be assured that the enemy of our souls has no ability to sever us from God’s care. We are involved in a spiritual conflict, but the supply chain of God cannot be cut off.  Within our struggles, there is God’s table of provision.

   A table that supplies us with everything we need in abundance. Mercy and grace are supplied to nourish the weary. Faith is kept when the child is weak, and power is given to the faint. All that is needed is found in Christ, and He alone keeps us secure.

  Receive what is needed from the hand of God today. The table is set for you.

In Christ Alone.

Worship the God of Creation | Oct. 9th

 “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge.”

  Psalm 19:1-2

   There is a lesson to be learned with the dawning of each morning. Wisdom to be gleaned from the evening host above. Creation is the handiwork of God. He is the creator of heaven and earth. All that is within creation is sustained by His good hand.

   Beloved, let us perceive that which God desires for us to acknowledge of Himself. We should be in awe of His power and wisdom when beholding creation. We should see God’s faithfulness, mercy, and kindness. Praise should come from our lips unto Him who has created such wonder and beauty.

  Though there is a rose and a thorn, God uses both to teach us lessons of trust and faith in Him. Take a moment today and behold the handiwork of God, for you are in the midst of His creation and He sustains you as well.

In Christ Alone.
