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 …

Redeemed Through Judgment

On November 19, 2020November 18, 2020 By aaronosowski7In Admonition, encouragement, TopicalLeave a comment

Jesus redeems us by God's judgement on him. The cup which Jesus drank, praying, "let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt" was the very wrath of God we deserved for our sins. Our offences against a holy God were cast upon His Son, "whom God hath set …

The Greatest Promise

On November 9, 2020November 5, 2020 By aaronosowski7In encouragement, TopicalLeave a comment

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 …

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 …

Looking Unto Jesus

On November 5, 2020November 2, 2020 By aaronosowski7In encouragement, TopicalLeave a comment

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 …

Unashamed

On November 3, 2020November 2, 2020 By aaronosowski7In encouragement, TopicalLeave a comment

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

On October 12, 2020October 5, 2020 By aaronosowski7In encouragement, TopicalLeave a comment

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

On October 11, 2020October 5, 2020 By aaronosowski7In encouragement, TopicalLeave a comment

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 …

“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 …
