You are Heard | April 7th

"Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save, or his ear dull, that it cannot hear;"

Isaiah 59:1

It is challenging to converse with a person who is hard of hearing. Sometimes you have to repeat yourself to be heard. There can be confusion about the subject of the conversation. In some situations there is no response because nothing was heard at all.

Thankfully our Heavenly Father hears the faintest cries. He hears the pleas from our hearts that have no words. The whisper that comes from a fainting spirit catches the attention of our Lord. He identifies us as His children and is willing to help us.

Let us take courage today, knowing that the hand of God is extended unto us in mercy. He will have compassion for you. Do not be discouraged for you are not alone. The Lord knows everything that concerns you today.

In Christ Alone,

A New Day | April 4th

"The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."

Lamentations 3:22-23

In the midst of his lament, Jeremiah recalls God's steadfast love, mercy, and faithfulness.

Beloved, perhaps you are laden with sorrow today? Does it appear that the circumstances of life are against you? Maybe you felt that things were coming together for you, only to be disappointed. Let not your heart be troubled and hope in God.

The day could have started with difficulty but God's mercy has been made new for you in greater measure. Nothing will change the faithfulness of the Lord in your life. He will bring you through this season. God remains steadfast in His love toward you.

The Lord will not depart from you or remove His help. God is for His people and for those who have put their trust in Him. Though you do not see the hand of God now, rest assured He is at work and His purposes will be fulfilled in your life. God's mercy never comes to an end.

In Christ Alone.

The Right Way | April 3rd

"So you will walk in the way of the good and keep to the paths of the righteous."

Proverbs 2:20

Sadly, many hikers become lost every year when they venture off trails marked for their safety. Some trials are kept clear of debris and are identified with reflector markers. These trails are easily identified compared to the untamed forest.

Beloved, the good way, and the righteous path are identified by the word of God. The life that has been born of the Spirit longs for this path. The child of God desires to keep the righteous. They find God's mercy enables them to walk this trail.

It is not always easy to navigate the narrow path. There are times when we must count the cost. But every traveler knows they do not walk it alone. The Good Shepherd leads the way, it is by His strength and guidance we make are way.

Christ will lead us safely home, so let us keep in the narrow way that leads to eternal life.

In Christ Alone.
