What a wonderful promise that was given to that prideful and rebellious nation: that the Lord would not abandon His people, despite their repeated grievous sins against Himself. The reason God stayed true to His promise to make Israel His own possession, was that to break it would dishonor His holy name. And God's Word will never be broken, His character is flawless, His Word is perfect. That Precious Promise made to Israel is equally effective today, and that the same glorious truth of God's faithfulness to His people can similarly be applied to the New Testament Church of today. The many precious promises, spiritual gifts, and eternal glories that God has prepared in heaven for those that love Him, can never be broken, to do so would discredit His righteous name and contradict His eternal character. Let us never forget that though we may prove faithless yet He will remain faithful to His many precious promises. For the sake of his great name the LORD will not reject his people, because the LORD was pleased to make you his own. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You that Your love never fails and Your compassion never ceases toward us. Praise Your name for the many examples of Your eternal faithfulness to each one of Your children, which is fresh and new every morning. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN. God Is Faithful And True, and that His mercy stretches from one generation to another. We must acknowledge that He even shows favor to the evil-doer, His rain falls on the just and the unjust alike, and sinners and saints are warmed by the rays of the same sun. God acts in judgement, it causes the people of the earth to know that He is God and to learn that the way of righteousness is by faith in Him. However, they also recognize that the ungodly do not learn to be righteous. They refuse to recognize that God is the Sovereign Lord of heaven and earth, and they will be punished accordingly. But God has promised to save those that trust in Him, and the joyful song of celebration which the remnant of Judah sang, rejoices with the words: LORD, you establish peace for us; all that we have accomplished you have done for us. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, how precious to know that You have always had a remnant that is true to the gospel of God, despite many following after false gods and unbiblical doctrines. No matter what path others choose to take, we pray that You would keep our feet planted on the Rock of our salvation. Help us to walk in the way of righteousness, for Your name's sake and for Your greater glory. Thank You for the prophetic writings that remind us of the importance of looking to You, moment by moment, in spirit and in truth. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN. God weighs the very words that proceed from our mouth and examines the motives that are manufactured within our heart, nothing is hidden from Him. How important therefore that our speech is not boastful or proud, but Seasoned With Salt, full of grace and truth, and glorifying to His holy name. How necessary that the meditation of our heart is always honoring to the Lord and that the thoughts of our mind are always acceptable in His sight: "For the Lord is a God of wisdom and understanding and with Him all our actions are considered." “Do not keep talking so proudly or let your mouth speak such arrogance, for the LORD is a God who knows, and by him deeds are weighed. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, keep us from prideful thoughts and careless actions, and put a guard on our lips, we pray. May the words of our mouths and the meditation of our hearts be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN. As we look back on our lives, we hope that others will remember the good things about us, and not bring up those times we would prefer to remain buried in the sea of forgetfulness. We would prefer that those little indiscretions were relegated to a closed archive - never again to see the light of day! And we genuinely thank God that our sins are forgiven, and praise Him, that in His goodness and grace He has clothed us in Christ's righteousness and remembers our sins no more. The Bible, however, does not sweep sin under the carpet, and there are many indiscretions and much carelessness, foolishness, ungodliness, and rebellious actions that are given center stage, as we read through the pages of Scripture. God's Word Is Written For Our Learning - to teach the godly way to live and warn us of pitfalls to avoid. The LORD alone led him; no foreign god was with him. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the way You are leading and guiding us, in the difficult days we face, just as you protected and cared for Your people Israel throughout their history. Thank You that when we lose heart, You remain faithful. Thank You that when we wander from Your perfect path of righteousness, You are there to lead, and to guide us into the way of truth. Keep us looking to Jesus and trusting in You in all things, Whom to know is life eternal - this we pray in Jesus' name, AMEN. God has always had a remnant of believers who trust His Word, believe His promises, and give glory to His name, even when the experiences of the life and the ungodly behaviors of others seem to indicate the reverse. Isaiah was warning of the coming great day of judgement, the great and terrible 'Day of the Lord' and 'Time of Jacob's Trouble', the coming Tribulation Period when God will pour out His wrath on a Christ rejecting sinful world. But even in that terrible seven-year period, which will follow the any-day Rapture of the Church into heaven, Isaiah writes of a little remnant that will bow their knees to the Lord and lift up their voices in joyful praise and worship to God, singing: LORD, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago. Never forget that no matter what trials and tribulations we face in this Age, let us be part of today's little flock who trusts God's Word, believes His promises, gives glory to His name, and lifts up our voices in joyful praise and worship: "Lord, You Are My God; Our United Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, You are our God, our Lord, and our salvation. We will praise Your name forever and ever, for You have done wonderful things for us and for all who trust in Your unfailing goodness and mercy. Praise the Lord O our souls, and let all that is within us glorify and worship His holy name. In Jesus' name we pray, AMEN. |
