Have a Good Day | Feb. 24th

" God saw that it was good."

Genesis 1:10

In the creation account, we see all that God did was good. Creation was a unique moment unto itself, but the goodness of God is not isolated to that specific act of creation.

The Lord would have you believe and trust that His goodness is still at work in your life. You should not enter your day expecting the worst. It is more than having a positive outlook on life.

It is the Holy Spirit that enables us to see the beauty of the Lord. Let us know that God is for us and not against us. He has promised to work all things out for the good of our salvation, and He will supply our needs.

God's goodness and acts of kindness did not end in creation. He remains good, and the Lord will be kind to you, for you belong to Him in Christ. Expect to see the goodness of the Lord on your behalf.

In Christ Alone,

Waiting Patiently | Feb. 21st

"Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the later rains. You must also be patient."

James 5:7 - 8

There is a blanket of crystalized snow covering the ground. One can only hope for the coming of the growing season when the ground is softened, with the warmth of the sun and the early rains. The aroma and test of harvested fruits seem like a dream, but we shall partake.

Every generation of God's people waits for the coming of the Lord and His justice. We groan with creation, awaiting the redemption of all things. Scriptures exhort us to remain faithful and patient. We patiently wait to see the fruit of our labors, knowing nothing is in vain.

May we hear, " Well done, My good and faithful servant." When that day comes, we will enter into our rest and see the fruit of the harvest. Be patient, beloved, and remain steadfast.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight

When the Lights are Out | Feb. 20th

"Who among you fears the Lord and obeys the voice of his servant? Let him who walks in darkness and has no light trust in the name of the Lord and rely on his God."

Isaiah 50:10

Beloved, are you perplexed? Are you confused by what God is doing or has allowed in your life? Perhaps you are at a crossroads, unsure of what direction to take, uncertain about tomorrow, and confused.

When there is uncertainty, let us remember God's providence. What is veiled and unknown to us is fully known by God. All of our days are before Him in perfect order. Nothing is uncertain or unclear. He knows the beginning to the end of all things.

Those who walk in obedience are assured that their steps are ordered by God. They can fully trust that the Lord is working all things for their good. In this uncertain time trust the Lord is still holding you and is at work on your behalf.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight
