In Need of a Blessing | April 23rd

"Who will show us some good? Lift up the light of your face upon us, O Lord!"

Psalm 4:6

When we are in need who shall we go to? Who alone knows the beginning of all things and what is to come? Who alone works providentially in our lives and is merciful to the weak?

The Creator of heaven and earth beloved. The Lord is watching over you today and is with you. God has promised never to forsake you, to supply your needs, and to give you peace.

The trials of this life are not few. Many are the sorrows of the righteous but God has promised to deliver us from them all. Do you need a miracle today? Would you ask the Lord to bless you? Beloved, ask your Father to shine upon you in His favor. The Lord will help you.

In Christ Alone.

Peace for the Day | April 22nd

"Let not your hearts be troubled."

John 14:1

When our hearts are troubled, the last thing we want to hear is someone telling us not to be troubled. We wonder if they understand our feelings and why we are upset. It is easy to say not to be troubled when you are not the one in distress.

The exhortation within this verse is from the Lord. He knows what He is saying and understands the disciples' distress. The Lord can tell them not to be troubled because He is also giving them promises. This has not changed for God's people.

There will be moments when our hearts are troubled. When we lack peace and have questions. However, the Spirit of God will remind us not to be troubled. The Lord is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He has always met His people and supplied grace. Let us trust the Lord today while we cast all of our cares upon Him. He will receive them as God comforts us.

In Christ Alone.

Keep Praying | April 21st

He told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart."

Luke 18:1

Jesus taught the disciples the importance of praying and to do so without losing heart. Sometimes, what we are praying for causes us to lose heart when we do not see the answer. The request represents someone or circumstances dear to our hearts. We want God to answer us according to our timing and ways. We must trust that the Lord is already at work.

God is working all things for our redemptive good. Let this enable us to continue to pray. The mercy of God is new every morning. The Lord is willing and able to help. Keep praying while you trust God.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight
