The Enduring Nature of God...🕊🌿🌼

The enduring nature of God should be a great comfort to His people—especially in times when everything else seems uncertain. The prophet of Lamentations, in the middle of his anguish over the destruction of the city of Jerusalem and the captivity of his people, sees the inevitability of morning as a reminder of God’s compassion: “Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. … It is good that one should hope and wait quietly For the salvation of the Lord” (Lamentations 3:22, 23, 26). Even when everything is coming apart at the seams, the sun will still rise and our God will still be Faithful.

Faith Is The Victory...🕊🌼🌿

Faith is the Victory:

Even Christians who have accepted the claims of the moral law are not too concerned about how well they fulfill it. In a subtle way they have been affected by the prevalent belief that too much concern about obedience is a form of salvation by works. Incredibly, some seem to be so fearful of keeping the law too closely that they actually make provision to break it. By doing so they perversely comfort themselves for not being legalistic.

Jesus has already defeated the devil, and no Christian should be intimidated by an inferior, defeated foe. We have no business justifying the transgression of the Ten Commandments.

Without faith by the receiver not even God’s promises can be appropriated. The limits are clearly defined in the words of Jesus, “According to your faith be it unto you” (Matthew 9:29).

The Battle Is The Lord’s...Stand Still...🕊🌿🌼

So it shall be, when you are on the verge of battle, that the priest shall approach and speak to the people. And he shall say to them, ‘Hear, O Israel: Today you are on the verge of battle with your enemies. Do not let your heart faint, do not be afraid, and do not tremble or be terrified because of them; for the Lord your God is He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.’

Deuteronomy 20:2‭-‬4 Walk In Faith...

The Touchstone...🕊🌼🌿

A touchstone is a tablet of dark stone, finely grained, that is used for determining the quality of soft metals.

Scripture is our touchstone.

God has authored and inspired it through the pens of faithful men to reveal Himself to us.

He has shown us His holiness, His perfection, His grace, His justice, all of these facets of Himself and His character.

We must, like a piece of gold being tested, draw ourselves across the stone of the Bible. Instead of comparing ourselves with each other, we should look to God’s word as the measure of our lives.

Don’t give your joy away to comparison against the lives of imperfect human beings, but instead compare yourself with Christ for a true measure of spiritual fruit.

Open your Bible today and let the word of God encourage, challenge, and restore you!
