Have you Responded | Sep. 29th

“Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.”

   1 Peter 5:7

   Beloved, have you responded to your invitation from the Lord? As with any earthly invitation, it is up to the recipient to respond. Those who are invited to a celebration or enjoy the fellowship of others must save the date and set aside time to attend.

  God has invited you to cast your cares upon Him. Because of His love for you , God desires that you not carry your burdens. The God of all comfort wants you to be at peace concerning the circumstances of your life. That you would trust in His providence, provision, and protection. Have you responded to Him?

  Will you continue to do things in your own strength, will you only rely upon your wisdom, and will you remain in a constant state of fretting? Let us respond to the Lord’s invitation today. Let us be assured by His love that we can come to Him while laying down our heavy burden. There is peace in God’s providence.

In Christ Alone.

Unwilling to Willing | Sep. 26th

 “Uphold me with a willing spirit.”

   Psalm 51:12

     Beloved, are you weary today? There are moments when we are not willing to surrender to God. We struggle to forgive others when we have been hurt. Faith seems to escape us. The trial feels overwhelming. Our spirit grows tired in such seasons and for many other reasons.

   However, let us not fall into despair. God is with us. Take the example of the Psalmist and ask the Lord to give you a willing spirit. Ask the Lord to renew your inner spirit. To not only comfort you but also empower you to stand strong. To be willing to serve the Lord no matter the cost and to follow Him in faithful obedience. This request will not go unanswered. The Spirit of the Lord will enable you to carry on in His strength. God will uphold you today.

In Christ Alone.

Faith vs Chaos | Sep. 25th

 “So we can confidently say, ‘ The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?’ Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”

   Hebrews 13:6-8

   Beloved, in the worst of times, when darkness seems to be encroaching upon this world, we must not lose heart. Through the epochs of human history, there have been many times in which the hearts of men could have failed them. Days of uncertainty. True causes for concern and an uneasy outlook on the future,

  Scripture reminds us of God’s continued faithfulness to every generation. He will always have people who will be light and salt in the world. Jesus left a mission to His disciples, to go into all the world and make disciples. This mandate has not changed. Christ will continue to empower God’s people to fulfill His purposes until His return.

  In a world that is constantly changing, Jesus Christ remains the same, yesterday, today, and forever. Stand strong in the Lord and in the power of HIs might.

In Christ Alone.
