On Your Side | Feb. 6th

"If it had not been the Lord who was on our side - let Israel now say - if it had not been the Lord who was on our side...Our help is in the name of the Lord,"

Psalm 124:1-2,8

The Psalmist knew that it was because of God's intervention that Israel was preserved. Israel is exhorted to exclaim their dependence upon God and gratitude for His salvation.

May the redeemed of the Lord follow their example, and may we understand that we are saved by grace alone through Christ alone. Jesus has rescued us from the enemy and purchased us from the slave block of sin. Ransoming us with His own life.

Let us lift our hands to God and praise His holy name for the great things He has done for us. Today recognize that if it had not been for the Lord, we would still be lost. God is on your side today if you are in Christ.

In Christ Alone,

Reputation | Feb. 5th

"First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed in all the world."

Romans 1:8

Paul celebrated the news of Christians within Rome spreading around the world. It was becoming common knowledge that the church of Christ was in Rome.

Beloved, what are you known for today? Does your family know that you are a follower of Christ? Do friends and coworkers see you as a person of deep faith? Let us pray that those around us will come to know us as Christians. We are part of the church and attend worship service every Sunday.

Let it be proclaimed of us that we are people of faith. We understand scripture and are quick to pray with anyone in need. May godliness and kindness be something others can easily attribute to our nature. Let us pray to this end and be intentional in living for God so that the world knows about our faith in Christ.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight

When I Stumble | Feb. 4th

"He will guard the feet of his faithful ones."

1 Samuel 2:9

One of the things my children learned in martial arts was break fall. So you can properly break your fall, whether backward, side to side, or forward. The intention is to keep you safe when you fall for whatever reason and minimize injury.

It is reassuring to know that our Heavenly Father is watching over us. He is the one who keeps our feet from straying and if we stumble the Lord is willing and able to pick us up again.

If you feel that you are stumbling today or perhaps have fallen, look up to the Savior. Ask the Lord to watch over your feet and heart. The Holy Spirit will empower those who ask for help and humble themselves before the throne of grace. God will guard your feet today.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight
