Isaiah Beholding God and Himself...🕊🌿🌼

Isaiah Beholding God & Himself:

Isaiah was born during a time when the nation of Israel was in apostasy and rebellion against God.

While serving as a priest in the temple, he writes: “I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple” (Isaiah 6:1). He saw angels who cried, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory” (v. 3).

It was as if the holy of holies had been thrown open before the humble priest and the glories of heaven were displayed before him. The glorious scene caused the whole temple to tremble. 

Isaiah was so moved by the revelation that he exclaimed, “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts” (v. 5). His admission revealed a knowledge of both the state of affairs in Israel and an understanding of his own heart.

All who, like Isaiah, respond to a true revelation of God by recognizing their own sinful condition, will experience a conversion of heart and a cleansing from sin.-AF

Through the Eyes of Faith...🕊🌼🌿

Through The Eyes of Faith:

When we look at the thief who died on the cross next to Jesus, we find all the steps in salvation. He saw Jesus hanging on the cross. He probably heard Jesus say, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” (Luke 23:34–42

The thief watched all these acts and deeds of kindness with no hostility or aggression, and seeing God’s goodness helped him become aware of his own badness. You see, the Bible tells us it’s the goodness of God that leads us to repentance. “I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, But now my eye sees You,” Job said. “Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes” (Job 42:5, 6

I’m talking about the eye of faith that sees God in His Word. -AF

Children of Light...🕊🌼🌿

We need regular exposure to strong light for our physical and emotional well-being.

The same is true in our spiritual lives. Without a regular supply of strong spiritual light, we can easily become discouraged and lose our way. The Word of God provides this light. “Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path” (Psalm 119:105).

In John 8:12, Jesus says, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” Because of Him we can “walk as children of light … finding out what is acceptable to the Lord” (Ephesians 5:8, 10). We don’t need to stumble around in the dark. Jesus promises to light our way.  

Walk In The Light!💡-AF

Having a Generous, Giving Heart...🕊🌿🌼

Jesus responded, “Now you Pharisees make the outside of the cup and dish clean, but your inward part is full of greed and wickedness” (Luke 11:39).

Appearance was everything to the Pharisees. As long as they “looked good” they were pleased with themselves. But Jesus pointed out that what is inside a person is the most important thing. The Pharisees, who made such a show of washing in a particular way, had neglected to clean their hearts. Jesus saw right through them, as He always does. He saw the greed and sin, and He knew what they really needed: generous, giving hearts. -AF

Bridges Of Life...🕊🌿🌼

Bridges of Life

Like the Philippian jailer, we all need to ask what we must do to be saved? The answer is in Jesus. There is a separation that sin creates between us and God. By acknowledging our sinfulness and coming to Christ, the Lord provides a bridge back to Himself. We must have faith and believe in what God can do for us. -AF

THE PHILIPPIAN JAILER: HOW THE PRISONERS FREED THEIR CAPTOR...🕊🌿🌼

THE PHILIPPIAN JAILER: HOW THE PRISONERS FREED THEIR CAPTOR

God had plans for Paul, Silas, and their jailer. As the two Christians sang hymns and praised God, an earthquake shook the jail with such force that every prisoner’s bonds were loosed, every jail cell opened. Catastrophic would be too mild a word to describe the jailer’s outlook. He was supposed to keep everyone in place, and now they were gone—or so he thought.

In the jailer’s darkest hour, Paul’s voice brought light: “Do yourself no harm, for we are all here” (Acts 16 v. 28). God’s power kept the prisoners in their place. Then came the jailer’s plaintive question: “What must I do to be saved?”

The answer was simple, yet complete: “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household” (Acts 16: v. 31).

That promise is just as true today: Believe and you will be saved! -Amazing Facts

The Rescue....🕊🌿🌼

There’s nothing quite as gripping as a good rescue story, and Paul, in Ephesians 2:1-10, gives us an up-close-and-personal view of the grandest, most sweeping rescue mission of all time—God’s efforts to redeem humanity. The drama of the story is heightened by knowing that we are not mere spectators of someone else’s rescue but witnesses of our own rescue...By Grace Through Faith!!-SSQ
