One of the greatest promises that we have been given by The Lord is forgiveness. What an immeasurable debt we owe God; and yet, because Jesus paid the due punishment for our sins, He doesn't require payment from us. What glorious freedom is in Christ Jesus for those who take refuge under His wings from …
Fear Brings Contentment
Consider this short passage from Psalms 34, "O fear The LORD, ye His saints: for there is not want to them that fear Him. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek The LORD shall not want any good thing." [Psa 34:9-10] Those who fear The LORD will not suffer need, …
Deliverance From Affliction
The LORD delivers us out of all afflictions. We can be confident that The LORD will save us from our troubles and afflictions. We only need to trust in Him, fear Him, cry out to Him. It may not be immediate, it may only come with death, but The LORD will be faithful to His …
Breaking Sin Into Pieces
There is a passage which speaks of the millennium, when Jesus Christ will rule upon earth, upon David's throne for a thousand years. But I think we can also take it and apply it spiritually to ourselves right now. It is found in the Psalms. "The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the …
Looking Unto Jesus
When we look to The LORD our faces are lightened. They are lit up, we are made to rejoice/be glad. When we behold Jesus Christ, our faces are lightened. We must look at Jesus more often and we will be made glad more often! You will not be filled with sorrow, nor disappointed, nor put …
Reacting to Praise
How do you react when others boast of Jesus, or when others rejoice in The Lord, speaking well of Him, praising Him, loving Him openly and freely? Does it also cause you to rejoice? If the answer is no, if the worship of others makes you uncomfortable, uneasy, or bitter, it is evidence of pride. …
Unashamed
Everything in this life will eventually let us down. There is no physical thing or person who will not eventually be taken away from us, or us from them. This life is fleeting and short, and everything that can be seen with the eyes and heard with the ears is temporary. John tells us, "And …
Grace From Birth
Whether we know it or not, we have been resting upon The LORD since birth. Since we have came out of the womb, we have been resting upon His grace and mercy. Without God's mercy, and without His help, all men are doomed. There is always grace at work, always mercy, though some do not …
In the Face of Enemies
Even in the face of enemies and persecution we can have hope. Even when things aren't going well, hope! Instead of living a life defeated by satan, sin, or the flesh, Praise God more and more, don't let the enemy get a hold of you! David says, "For mine enemies speak against me; and they …
Caring For the Poor
We "should remember the poor." We were poor and Jesus Christ gave us everything. We have been "blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ" and surely, "God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work." …
