Jesus Saves | Jan. 15th

"Beginning to sink he cried out, ' Lord, save me.' Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him. "

Matthew 14:30 - 31

The prayer was simple, and the response was immediate. The Lord is not concerned with lengthy discords but with genuine cries for mercy.

Our hope today should be the cry for mercy. You do not have to impress God with your words or convince Him of your need for help. The Lord is ever present to help regardless of what you are facing. He can reach you wherever you are.

There are times when we feel as though we are sinking. The weight of our sins and the burdens of life are overwhelming. But God will lift us from the pit of iniquity when we cry for mercy. He is our burden bearer, lifting our heads and revitalizing our spirits.

Cry for help today, beloved. God hears you and will take hold of you. You will not sink in despair.

In Christ Alone,

Everything Accounted For

"Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered."

Luke 12:7

Beloved, do you know the number of hairs on your head now? Could you even count them if you tried? Do you know that not one hair can fall from your head without your Heavenly Father knowing?

This small detail of our life, to which we do not give much thought, is fully known by God. If the Lord knows in great detail something that we consider insignificant, how much do you think He knows about what burdens you?

The Lord knows us better than we know ourselves and knows what we need more than we can understand. We must trust His lovingkindness and wisdom in working providentially in our lives.

God loves you. He sees you and will supply what you need. Put your hope in the One who knows all that concerns you and is working things out for the good of your salvation.

In Christ Alone,

Every Where

"If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me."

Psalm 139:9- 10

Beloved, no matter how swiftly you run, you cannot escape the presence of God. We travel from one point to another, and what remains constant is our existence. Two things continue throughout the journey: God is present, and so are we.

David spoke of taking flight upon the wings of the morning, being carried from the east into the far west as quickly as possible. There in the west was God, just as He was in the east and in every place between. God's presence is everywhere.

To the comfort of our souls, the Lord is always with us. No matter where we are physically in the world or what we are going through emotionally, the Lord is with us.

The Lord is guiding us in all places and seasons of life. He can keep us wherever we are, beloved.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight
