Before Sunset | May 30th

"Before the day passes away like chaff-

Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land,"

Zephaniah 2:2, 3

By the mercies of God, we have this day. We cannot regain yesterday, and there is no knowledge of tomorrow. It is today that the Lord requires of you.

If we believe that the chief end of our life is to live for God, then every morning is directed in that truth. There is no time to be consumed with self or to fret away the day with anxiety. Today, the Lord has granted unto us to enjoy Him and live for the glory of God.

Let us humble ourselves before the Lord and follow Him in faithful obedience while counting all the blessings God has bestowed upon us. Do not let this day pass without fellowship with God and entrusting yourself to His care.

In Christ Alone.

Bird Watching | May 29th

"Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?"

Matthew 6:26

Have you watched and listened to the God of creation teach you lessons through His creation? Scripture is supreme in instruction, but the Holy Spirit will relay truth to us through the witness of creation.

It is amazing to watch the birds this time of year as they nest in various places. Some chose a tree that appears more natural, while others will find a hidden spot within a man-made structure. You will hear them sing and be busy building their nest while God supplies their needs. What a wonder to witness.

How much more beloved will God care for you? You are infinitely more valuable in the sight of God. You are His beloved, and He is yours. There is nothing in this life that you will experience that will separate you from His lovingkindness. Watch the birds and know that the Lord is watching over you.

In Christ Alone.

Welcome Home | May 28th

"Return to me, and I will return to you, says the Lord of hosts."

Malachi 3:7

Unfortunately, there are times when relationships are severed. A misunderstanding or an argument can cause people not to speak with one another. Sometimes, the fear of being rejected or not forgiven keeps individuals apart.

Let us remember that God is willing to forgive. He will not turn the penitent heart away. The Lord invites you to return to Him. Adam and Eve hid themselves, but God sought them out. The Good Shepherd found the lost lamb. The father received his prodigal son home again by running to him.

Do not hesitate any longer. Seek the forgiveness and mercy of your Heavenly Father. He will return to you when you return to Him.

In Christ Alone.
