Everlasting Light | Sep. 30th

 “Your sun shall no more go down, nor your moon withdraw itself; for the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your days of mourning shall be ended.”

  Isaiah 60:20

   Beloved, with Christ we have more than a light at the end of the tunnel. We are often told to look at the bright side of circumstances, but if the truth be told, there is none. We do not see tomorrow, and we are in the dark concerning the future.

  However, God is providentially working in your life. Because of Him, we are not in complete darkness, no matter how difficult the situation or how painful the sorrow. The Lord is with us, guiding us, even if we are passing through the valley of death. With Him, there is nothing to dread. Take comfort today, believe that the Lord is with you. Christ is the peace and hope that can never be extinguished from our lives.

In Christ Alone.

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.
