Work With God | March

"It is vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep."

Psalm 127:2

It can be an advantage to rise early with intentions to accomplish a task or to stay up late to ensure that responsibilities are taken care of. However, this does not always guarantee success. These actions require a disciplined and mature character, but in all of this, we still must look to the Lord for His will and guidance.

Things done in our strength can lead us to eat the bread of sorrow. Our strength is fleeting, our wisdom imperfect, and we do not have a clear understanding of the future. Only God is omnipotent, wise, and eternal.

We must look to the Lord for all things. We must depend upon Him and follow the Lord. In the will of God is sleep for His beloved. The Lord grants rest to those who look to Him and rely upon His grace and provision. Let us trust the Lord today.

In Christ Alone,

The Waiting Room | March 4th

"It will be said on that day, " Behold, this is our God; we waited for him, that he might save us. This is the Lord; we have waited for him; let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation."

Isaiah 25:9

Beloved, perhaps you are waiting for an answer to prayer. You could be hoping for a burden to be lifted or a breakthrough in a dark period. The waiting could seem endless, but do not be dismayed; the Lord you are waiting for will come.

Many times we feel as though we are waiting on God while wondering why He delays. The work He is doing is often within us. The Lord is molding us and working grace in our lives. We must hold to His promise that all things will work for the good of our salvation.

Our daily waiting will culminate with Christ's return, when He will make all things new, and we will enter into our eternal hope. There are days of rejoicing here when God's salvation comes to us, but there is coming a day when we will never wait again.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight

Reliable | March 3rd

"Those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you,"

Psalm 9:10

Beloved, my hope and prayer is that you have at least one friend who has stood the test of time—an individual you have known for a considerable length of time who has been proven faithful throughout your relationship.

Neither person is perfect but faithful and loyal. Always available the best they can and who is understanding.

None can compare to our Lord. The longer we walk with Him, the more we realize God truly will never forsake us. God has been with us through every season of life, regardless of our condition. He has not left our side. The more we understand God and His ways, the more we trust Him. The Lord has proven to be faithful, put your trust in Him today.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight
