Does God Delight in Me | Nov. 22nd

"For the Lord takes pleasure in his people, he adorns the humble with salvation."

Psalm 149:4

The accuser of the saints often causes God's people to wonder if the Lord finds pleasure in them. Condemnation from the enemy or misunderstanding God's mercy add to our doubts. We wonder if there is any hope of God's pleasure in us.

Beloved, do not allow your brokenness to cause you to doubt the truth of God's word. God has declared His pleasure in you and has promised to adorn you with salvation. Salvation belongs to God alone and has chosen us in Christ.

The Lord delights in you, and you belong to Him. Be reassured of His lovingkindness towards you and be at peace.

In Christ Alone,

Lovingkindness | Nov. 21st

"As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you."

Isaiah 66:13

The nurturing affection of a mother is one of the greatest comforts in this life. From the moment of birth, a mother tends to every need of her child. Feeding, clothing, instructing, and mending wounds are the tireless lovingkindness of a mother. A child often longs for the tender words and embrace of their mother.

The Almighty Creator of heaven and earth describes His compassion for His children in this way. Where else would a mother's endless love come from? It is the God of love who has put such compassion and sacrifice in her heart. He is the source of lovingkindness.

God will comfort you today, beloved. Do not let your heart be troubled, instead come to God and lay your burdens at His feet. He will sustain and keep you through His tender mercies and endless love.

In Christ Alone,

Ask for Help | Nov. 19th

"Look on my affliction and deliver me."

Psalm 119:153

The plea for help. One may hesitate to ask for help because of pride, or perhaps a request for help in the past was met with disdain. There can be different hindrances to why one refrains from seeking help, but none of these should keep us from seeking God's help.

The Son of God died for us while we were dead in sin. You have been redeemed by God. Because of His mercy and kindness, we should always look to the Lord for help. Let us fully expect that He will hear and be willing to help us. We have no other hope in this life like God.

The Lord has promised never to forsake us, to work all things for our good, and providentially works in our lives. Let us seek God's help today and put our trust in Him.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight
