Relaxing in the Shepherd

8/30/2019

0 Comments

 
Dear Father,
To relax in difficult circumstances is a need common to everyone in the world, and we who know You are blessed beyond words. When financial pressures crowd in on us, when our mind cannot shake a specific fear, when friends let us down, or when health fails, we have a powerful, spiritual medicine available to us 24/7. It’s a truth that we can claim by faith, a statement of reality, an anchor that will not move... for few things will calm the restless soul as quickly as, “The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.”
Thank You in Jesus’ Name.
Psalm 23:1

Stop and thank

Dear Father,
Our lives are often so busy and full of stuff... important and necessary stuff, even valuable ministry matters. But we can misprioritize even good and needful things and lose focus on what is absolutely essential — our walk with You. Help us today to have sense enough to take advantage of those little opportunities to STOP, look up, and thank You for your kindness. In Jesus’ Name.
1 Thess 5:1

Forgiveness

8/9/2019

Dear Father,
It is quite sobering to imagine life in the OT sacrificial system, witnessing the bloody death of thousands of birds and lambs and cattle. It seems so barbaric when compared to our typical modern lifestyle. And yet how important to remember that we are every bit like the Israelites, very proud sinners who urgently and constantly need the forgiveness those raw scenes spoke of. How privileged we are that today, through Jesus, you are pleased with our heart sacrifices, when they are truly broken and humbly offered to you. Thank you for always accepting our sincere repentance and restoring us back into your joy. In Jesus’ Name.
Psalm 51:1

Stop questioning

8/6/2019

I’ve known people who seem to always be questioning God and His Word, seeming to always put Him on the defensive.
To start with questions is logical, proper, even Biblical. But when dealing with an infinite God there has to come a point where you STOP...
And start BELIEVING.
