Do we love the Giver even more that the gracious gifts that He has poured in abundance to us? Do we seek the Lord Himself in preference to the multiplied blessings and precious promises that are ours, by grace through faith in Christ? Do we unreservedly confess our dependence upon the Lord and unconditionally acknowledge Him to be sovereign in our life? Do we cast all our cares on Him? Do we Lie Down In Peace and sleep secure in the knowledge that He is in control? The Lord will always protect ALL His children. In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me dwell in safety. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we have scarce scratched the surface of Your grace and goodness toward us, in that You sent Your only begotten Son to die on the Cross to pay the punishment that we deserve. Our love is poor and weak, and our thoughts and prayers are too often motivated from selfish desires and a lack of understanding of Who You are and what You have done for us. Increase our desire and love for You, and help us to become "people after God's own heart" desiring You above all things. In Jesus' name we pray, AMEN. We who have trusted Christ as our Savior, have received the Holy Spirit of power by grace through faith in Christ. He has brought about our adoption into son-ship, and through Him we are enabled to cry, as we boldly approach the throne of grace, for mercy to find help in time of need. When we are looking to Jesus, and when the eyes of our heart are firmly fixed upon Him, we have a confidence in the promises of His Word, His Word is true and His promises stand fast forever and ever. Jesus reminded us: "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful. I Will Never Leave You Nor Forsake You and lo I am with you always - even to the very end of the age." I will not fear though tens of thousands assail me on every side. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, the increasing violence and wickedness in this world and the terrors that seem to increasingly stalk our paths, have too often caused us to divert our attention onto our mounting problems, instead of looking to Jesus and trusting Your Word. Thank You that no matter what happens in this world, You have promised to be with us. You are our Provider and Protector, our Defense and Defender. Thank You for the Holy Spirit and Your peace that passes understanding, where we can rest in Your love and praise Your holy name. And thank You that we have been brought into Your family, by grace through faith in Jesus. In His name we pray, AMEN. When we understand that the will of God is to rid each of His children of all the accumulated clutter of our lives and burn away all that is of me, myself, and I, we are better equipped to face the affliction in the knowledge that the tests and trials that we are facing are but for a moment: "And when He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold." Job was a man that knew his God and trusted His Word, even though he did not understand why the furnace appeared to be heated seven times hotter. Like Job, we may not understand the divine purpose behind the cruel trials that we are obligated to bear, but His Word reminds us that God knows the plans He has for each of our lives – plans for good and not for evil. Let us Trust His Word Of Truth, knowing that when He has tested us in His furnace of affliction, we WILL come forth as pure gold. But he knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold. Our United Prayer:
Loving Father, we don’t understand all that is going on in our lives, but our times are in Your hands and so are the circumstances of those that we love. Thank You that all we face is under the shadow of Your protection. We pray that when w have been tried, we too will come forth as gold. We pray that we will trust in Your unfailing love and not be afraid. In Jesus' name we pray, AMEN. The Lord Jesus Christ is portrayed as The Unique Son Of God Who was chosen before the foundation of the world to be the sinner's Savior. He offered His life as the sacrifice for sin and died to pay the price for the sin of the whole world. By His Resurrection from the dead, the only begotten Son of God received His Father's stamp of approval and was given complete authority in heaven and on earth. His sacrificial blood is indeed, on ALL who believe in Christ for salvation and trust His Word. And for a time... the kingdom of God, which was promised to Israel, has had to be postponed while the Lord calls out of the Gentiles a people for His name - who would proclaim the gospel of grace far and wide and make disciples of every nation. Christ offered His life as the sacrifice for the sin of the whole world and died to pay the price for our transgressions.. By faith in His name, we too will live with Him forever. Praise His holy name. I will proclaim the LORD’s decree: He said to me, “You are my son; today I have become your father. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You that You purposed to redeem mankind through Your sacrifice and decreed that the eternal Son of God would be born into the human race as the perfect Son. Thank You that He took the punishment for our sins so that by faith in Him, we also might be adopted into Your family and become people of the living God. Thank You that the day is coming, when He will be proclaimed King of Kings and Lord of Lords in His everlasting kingdom. Thank You that we are part of Your eternal family and that Christ is our Savior, in Whose name we pray, AMEN. Job was able to say with authority: "I know in Whom I have believed; I know that my Redeemer lives; I know that all the plans and promises of God will one day be fully realized." Job KNEW. Job had an assurance that what God had said, God would perform. Job's trust in God was a definitive 'knowing' and our faith in Him can also be an authoritative 'knowing' our trust stands on the unshakable facts within the Word of God. Like Job, we too can say with authority, I KNOW in Whom I believe. I KNOW That My Redeemer Lives. How blessed we are to be able to say with authority that we KNOW that He is coming back for his children and will set up His everlasting kingdom, to the praise and glory of God the Father. How blessed are the ones that KNOW their God. I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth. Our United Prayer:
Loving Heavenly Father, what a wonderful declaration to fall from the lips of Job: "We know that our Redeemer lives." Thank You for the truth of Your Word and the wonderful illustrations of real people who trusted You, no matter what. Thank you that You are our Redeemer. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN. |
