“Repaying” The Lord

On September 25, 2020September 22, 2020 By aaronosowski7In encouragement, TopicalLeave a comment

Of course we cannot repay The Lord for what He has done for us, and Jesus doesn't expect us to: He didn't save us so that we could repay Him. Paul says that what Jesus has accomplished for us through salvation is God's "unspeakable gift." As Jacob said in Genesis, truly, "[we are] not worthy …

The LORD Delights in Our Hope

On September 24, 2020September 20, 2020 By aaronosowski7In encouragement, TopicalLeave a comment

It can be tempting to feel discouraged because we have "failed" God or to get down on ourselves when we don't perform, but I think that God has a very different view of us in these moments. After all, The Lord chose us for Himself before the foundation of the world, which means He already …

A Thousand Times Better

On September 23, 2020September 20, 2020 By aaronosowski7In encouragement, Growth, TopicalLeave a comment

The best place in the world to be is in God's presence: we should be continually seeking this out. David tells us that being in God's presence is the chief thing he desired in life; saying, "One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the …

Faithful to Hear

On September 20, 2020September 18, 2020 By aaronosowski7In encouragement, TopicalLeave a comment

God is a wonderful Father. He is never too busy for us, and is always welcoming us to pray to Him. In fact, this is one quality of God's faithfulness toward us and His righteousness. David says, "Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy …

From the Dunghill to Glory

On September 18, 2020September 11, 2020 By aaronosowski7In encouragement, TopicalLeave a comment

Those who are Jesus' have experienced a drastic change. Each of us have been permanently transformed from lowly peasants as it were to glorious nobility in the house of our Messiah Jesus' blessed Father. Consider this passage from Psalms, "He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the …

Our Humble God

On September 16, 2020September 17, 2020 By aaronosowski7In encouragement, TopicalLeave a comment

The title "Our Humble God" probably sounds odd. I don't think many of us tend toward thinking God is humble. After all, He is above all things. He is God Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, the sea and all that therein is! Look at what God says of Himself in these passages, "Thus saith …

Praise as a Weapon

On September 14, 2020September 9, 2020 By aaronosowski7In encouragement, TopicalLeave a comment

Have you ever considered the fact that your praise to God is a weapon against Satan? It most certainly is! Our genuine praises to God with an upright heart can defeat the enemy in our lives and in others' lives. Take note of an account from 2 Chronicles, "And they rose early in the morning, …

False Comfort

On September 13, 2020September 9, 2020 By aaronosowski7In encouragement, Growth, Topical1 Comment

The book of Judges is one of my favorite books; there are so many awesome accounts of the past - battles, great acts of faith, lessons from God. One of the most memorable characters from Judges is Samson. Let's look at just a few verses from his life and learn from them. Samson was a …

Being a Wonder to Many

On September 10, 2020September 10, 2020 By aaronosowski7In encouragement, TopicalLeave a comment

We look back on Jesus' life on earth today as an awesome thing, as an inspiring thing; we look on it with the greatest amount of respect and wonder. Jesus indeed lived the most remarkable life in the history of the world. It was because He Himself was God. But have you ever thought about …

Jesus, Jonah, and a Sea of Wrath

On September 3, 2020September 4, 2020 By aaronosowski7In encouragement, TopicalLeave a comment

Jonah is a type of Christ in very many ways, but perhaps the most interesting has to do with Jesus' payment for our sins. Jesus alludes to this, saying, "But [Jesus] answered and said unto them, an evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but …
