Out Of Them All!

We live in this world with all its problems and evil, so we can’t help but encounter troubles as we live our lives! But we have His promises to sustain us! When we cry out to the LORD in our affliction — He will deliver us! How many times will He answer our cry? Will He become weary of us crying out to Him? No, He says He will deliver us out of them all, and as often as we call!

A Clean House!

My friend told me the story of an aunt who was so particular about how the outside of her home appeared to those passing by! The grass must be cut, the flowers perfect, and the white picket fence just right! But, he said the inside of her house was filled with clutter, and such a mess!

Are we like this aunt? Do we have an outward appearance that does not match our inward condition?

Take Up Your Cross!

Jesus said these Words to His disciples! What do they mean?

Matthew 16:24-25
Then said Jesus unto His disciples, If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for My sake shall find it.

What did the cross mean to Jesus?

It meant love, it meant humility, it meant rejection, it meant mocking, it meant death!

Double-Mindedness!

There are so many people who claim to serve the LORD, yet the fruit of their lips, and of their lives is contradictory to His Word! Are you watching to see if these people actually live in accordance to God’s Word? Are you inspecting the fruit of their lives?

Many deceivers are among us and it will only get worse the closer we come to the return of Jesus! His Word is very clear about this!

Are You Willing To Be An Outcast?

Walking with the LORD is not the easy path to choose! It comes with a price, but the reward is eternal life with Him! One day you will hear these Words — Well done good and faithful servant! 1 Corinthians 4:12-13
And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it: Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.

Discipline!

No discipline feels good when it’s happening, but the end result of Godly discipline produces the fruit of righteousness in our lives! Hebrews 12:5-11
And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the LORD, nor faint when thou art rebuked of Him: For whom the LORD loveth He chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom He receiveth.

Be Careful!

We’ve talked about living, being mindful of the brevity of life — Of living as the Word says — Circumspectly! This means we are careful to consider all circumstances and possible consequences of our actions! To be alert, cautious, and guarded! Ephesians 5:15
See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise.

We must be careful how we walk, where we walk, and with whom we walk!

The Lifter Of My Head!

Are you compassed about on every side by your enemies — By those who wish to see you fall? Are there those who seek your destruction? David felt the anguish of being pursued by not only his enemies, but even those whom he loved, those who once walked with him — even his beloved son, Absalom!These men now pursued him, and sought to destroy him! He prayed this prayer to the LORD!

Betrayal!

When we think of betrayal in the Biblical sense, one name immediately comes to mind — Judas!

Judas will forever be remembered for his betrayal of Jesus, a man Who called him his friend! Matthew 26:24-25
The Son of Man goeth as it is written of Him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born. Then Judas, which betrayed Him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.

The Days Are Long — But The Years Are Short!

Sometimes it feels as if time is going so slowly! The days seem so long, but before we know it, it’s the end of the week, or the month, or the year, and we look back and exclaim — Where did the time go! Do you realize how precious each day is? God has ordained our days and He has set the number!

Are you living like your life will last forever, or are you dreading the days ahead?

Have You Thanked God For The Lice?

Do you want to see the LORD work in your life, in the lives of those you love, and in the world around you? I can’t imagine that you would answer any way but with an emphatic — Yes! When I pray for myself, those I love, and the lost world around me, I say, LORD, do whatever it takes to make our hearts completely Yours, and to fulfill Your purposes!

Behold What Manner Of Love!

Throughout the Word of God we see the great love our Father in heaven has for His children!

1 John 3:1
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God. Allow me to share just some of the things that came to my mind today. These are all based on His Word, but there’s not enough space to cite every scripture here!

His Mercy In Disguise!

How many times have you asked the LORD for something that didn’t come? How many times have you been frustrated, or even angry when you were delayed, or when things didn’t go as you had planned? Have you stopped to think that these unanswered prayers, and these delays might be His mercy in disguise!

The LORD knows what lies ahead, and He knows the consequences that will occur for each path we take, and each decision we make!

Out of Order!

The Word of the LORD tells us that He orders the steps of a good man! We know that none of us are good without Him! We are made righteous only through the blood of Jesus Christ, His Son! Psalm 37:23-26
The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in His way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with His hand.

The Strategy Of The LORD!

The worst of times calls for a new strategy they say! We know what man says, but what does the Word of the LORD say?

When trouble is in our land, what is the solution we have been given by the LORD? Do we rise up, and fight the enemy with physical weapons? Do we rail at the enemy with our words?

What should the people who are called by His Name do?

The Nations Rage!

When we look around and see evil seeming to win in this world, in the lives of those we love, and in our own personal lives, we would despair did we not know Who was truly in control of it all! In Psalm 2 we see the perspective from the throne room of God, and here is what He says!

Psalm 2:1-12
Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

He Watches Me!

The LORD sees you! He knows exactly where you are, what you need, and your every concern, and fear! You are never out of His sight, beloved! Matthew 10:29-31
Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

Will You Turn Back?

Let’s look first at the story of ten lepers who were healed by Jesus!

Luke 17:12-19
And as He entered into a certain village, there met Him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. And when He saw them, He said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.

Retribution Belongs To The LORD!

The LORD is our Defender, our Shield, our Protector — He will repay our enemies! To Him belongs retribution! Who has harmed us? Who has secretly devised a plan against us, and carried it out? The LORD knows — He is our Protector! He sees all, and He knows all!

He’s Right Beside You!

Do you feel alone? Do you feel like you can’t talk to the LORD, and He can’t hear you?

Beloved, Faith in God cannot be based on our feelings! We must believe God’s Word, and act upon His Word — even in times we have no feelings! His Word is Truth! He is doing, and He will do just what His Word tells us! That is an absolute truth that we can be assured of!

I’ve relayed this story before, but I’m reminded of it today! I hope it will encourage you that your Father is always by your side!

Eternal Life!

Do you know that you will live forever?

We have been given the Way to eternal life with Him! That Way is through His Son — Jesus Christ! He is the only Way! Acts 4:10-12
Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Whom ye crucified, Whom God raised from the dead, even by Him doth this man stand here before you whole.
