By accepting Jesus Christ as our Saviour, we receive the gift of eternal life.
Consider and hear me, O Lord my God. Psalm 13 verse 3
Someone commented on the grace of God, saying it’s something we don’t deserve. It’s true. The God of the universe has so much love that He gave His only son to save us from sin. He wants us all to be saved and go back to Him. By accepting Jesus Christ as our Saviour, we receive the gift of eternal life. Christ died for us, the undeserving, to reconcile us with God. This is an undeserved gift. (1 Peter 3:18-22)
His mercy endures forever.
Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 Thessalonians 5 verses 16 – 18
When the days grow dark with worry and stress, we ought to look to the Lord for all our needs. His words are pure, and his promises are true. As we look to him for help, it is best not to lean to our own understanding. He knows the way and will make the path clear and clean for us to walk to safety . Rejoice in the fact that he is a good and compassionate God. Give thanks to him for his mercy endures forever. -adapted from Zoom Meeting 2024 – C. Heiland.
In God we trust.
If God be for you then who can be against you?
Sometimes, when things go wrong, and those around you rise up in false witness against you, discouragement sets in, and depression drives you into distress. Remember, those who seek to discredit you will not last. Their vain, brief victories will end. When God is for you, no one can be against you. ”The Lord is king forever and ever. The Lord hast heard the desire of the humble. In the Lord, put your trust.” Psalms 10 and 11.
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
And he said unto him, Fear not for the hand of Saul my father shall not find thee; and thou shall be king over Israel, and I shall be next unto thee and that also Saul my father knoweth. 1 Samuel 23 verse 17.
It is sad that Jonathan, Saul’s son, chose the wrong side and died with his father instead of standing at King David’s side. One mistake can lead to dire consequences. Say as Joshua did: choose today whom you will serve, but for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
Be strong and of good courage.
Once you experience God’s goodness, you can go on to encourage others.
And Joshua said unto them, Fear not; nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the Lord do to all your enemies against whom ye fight. Joshua 10 verse 25.
neither be thou dismayed.
Have not I commended thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed; for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
God tenderly guides his children to safety.
Be brave, knowing he is with us wherever we go.
Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward. Genesis 15 verse, 1
Don’t be afraid, and always remember the true and living God we serve is a good God. As our shield; he will protect us, and as our reward, he will honour us and provide for us.
Shield –
A shield is a piece of defensive equipment that is carried on the arm or, a person or thing that guards or protects.
He will do a new thing…
Thus saith the Lord, which maketh a way in the sea and a path in the mighty waters. Behold; I will do a new thing now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it? Isaiah 43 verse 16, 19
If we believe in God and trust what He says, He will find a solution when it seems impossible. Unlike us, we struggle to find solutions to difficult situations, but God can make a way even when there is no way. He can do whatever is necessary to keep us safe and provide for us.
If only we will believe.
Yet To Be 310
Although we may fear the uncharted, all the things hidden around the corner, the Lord is in control.
He remains faithful when we fall.
He catches us and holds us close when we are afraid.
There is no one like Him.
If we believe not, yet he abides faithful: he cannot deny himself. 2 Timothy 2 verse 13.
He loves us.
Yet To Be # 309
“My God, my God why has thou forsaken me?” Matthew 27 verse 46.
This is not a question that the Lord Jesus needed to be answered.
He knew why God could not look at him. Why God had to turn his back on his only begotten son.
He knew hanging on the cross, crucified for the sake of the world he was made sin by taking our sins on himself. He became the true sacrifice.
This was the work that the Father gave him to do.
And he fulfilled this work in perfect obedience.
In perfect satisfaction to God.
“God is of purer eyes than to behold evil, and cannot look upon sin.” Habakkuk 1 verse 13.
