Intimate In Distress

On August 23, 2021August 19, 2021 By aaronosowski7In encouragementLeave a comment

Sometimes it can appear as if Jesus is far away. Perhaps He has forgotten of us, perhaps He doesn't care, perhaps He's too busy. Sometimes it can appear as if Jesus is a God far off, and not near. But in fact, Jesus is just the opposite: God is just the opposite, for it is …

Scattered For His Glory

On June 3, 2021August 20, 2021 By aaronosowski7In Morning Star Cleveland MinistryLeave a comment

Hedge trimming, trimming, and debris cleanup for a widow. There is a common plant, an invasive species, called bittercress, which when hit, sends seeds flying from the plant into all directions. It is often looked at as a weed, though it has some medicinal value, and when one attempts to destroy the plant, it ironically …

Deliverance From Fear

On May 28, 2021May 26, 2021 By aaronosowski7In encouragement, TopicalLeave a comment

Psalms 46 begins with, in my opinion, one of the most comforting truths in scripture. That our God is a safe place for us to flee to, finding refuge; a protection/strength; and an exceedingly near aid in time of distress. "God is [our] protection/defence/refuge, an exceedingly present help in trouble." [Psa 46:1] These three aspects …

An Exceedingly Near God

On May 18, 2021 By aaronosowski7In encouragement, Topical1 Comment

God is our refuge, He is the one to whom we flee when trouble of any degree arises. He is the one who is always ready and available for us, and He desires us to take advantage of this. The LORD, YHWH, our Father, is, as David says, "[our] protection/defence/refuge, an exceedingly present help in …

The Help of His Countenance

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

There are plenty of times, and will probably be plenty more, in our lives when we feel downcast, downtrodden, disquieted, disinterested. These are normal consequences of living in a cursed world ruled by satan and under the continual tempting of him, the flesh, and the world. But Jesus is more powerful, His beauty is more …

Deliverance From Affliction

On November 7, 2020November 2, 2020 By aaronosowski7In encouragement, Growth, TopicalLeave a comment

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 …

Transforming the Valley

On August 30, 2020August 31, 2020 By aaronosowski7In encouragement, Growth, TopicalLeave a comment

In the midst of affliction, we as Christians can thrive. We can transform the valleys of our lives into beautiful and lush places. This is only possible through The Holy Spirit, through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Notice what Psalms says, "Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south." [Psa …

Privileged to Bear His Name

On August 29, 2020August 26, 2020 By aaronosowski7In encouragement, Growth, TopicalLeave a comment

Whether we know it or not, we are bequeathed by God a very special privilege. We are given the responsibility to bear His name, to represent His name to the people around us. It is at the same time a fearful thing and a joyous. Look at what David says in the Psalms, "Thy name, …

Boundaries on the Waters

On August 27, 2020August 20, 2020 By aaronosowski7In encouragement, Topical2 Comments

The Father sets boundaries on our trials and afflictions. He graciously and mercifully does this. David says to God of the waters, "Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth" [Psa 104:9] And The LORD also promises, "When thou passest through the waters, …
