When It’s Wise to Wait

by

God often uses times of waiting to prepare us for His answer or to bring us in line with His timing and purpose Psalm 130 130 Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Jehovah. 2 Lord, hear my voice: Let thine ears be attentive To the voice of my supplications. 3 If thou, Jehovah, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? 4 But there is forgiveness with thee, That thou mayest be feared. 5 I wait for Jehovah, my soul doth wait, And in his word do I hope. 6 My soul waiteth for the Lord …

“And God saw the light.” Genesis 1:4

by

This morning we noticed the goodness of the light, and the Lord’s dividing it from the darkness, we now note the special eye which the Lord had for the light. “God saw the light”–he looked at it with complacency, gazed upon it with pleasure, saw that it “was good.” If the Lord has given you light, dear reader, he looks on that light with peculiar interest; for not only is it dear to him as his own handiwork, but because it is like himself, for “He is light.” Pleasant it is to the believer to know that God’s eye is …

Resting in Christ

by

Reflections From the Psalms I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me. (Ps. 3:5) One of the greatest sources of spiritual paralysis in the life of the believer is pre-occupation with SELF. We do this in two ways — either we are constantly fussing over our sins and faults and trying to fix ourselves and make ourselves right, or we are continually exalting our value and worth. Both are from the same source and same error. Indeed, they are our only two options if we do not know Jesus Christ. The Truth of Jesus Christ …

A LIVING HOPE

by

We could never earn our way into God’s family, but Jesus Christ willingly paid the penalty on our behalf 1 Peter 1:3-5 (KJV) 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. Corinth was a city …

How Christ Dwells in Us

by

Reflections How does Jesus Christ dwell in a person? Not physically, but spiritually. Paul says: He that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit (with Him). (1 Cor 6:17) A Christian is a person in whom Christ dwells – one who is, “joined to the Lord.” The Greek word for, “joined,” could rightly be translated, “glued, or cemented.” We are being told that Jesus Christ has made us one with Himself – our human spirit has been joined with His Spirit. This is HOW Christ is IN US; it is HOW we are in Christ. If we are joined …

Power of God

by

As you grow in Christ, and come into the knowledge of Him, the power for such things to govern you will dissipate. That is because Christ is the power of God, and He will be your life. That is the only lasting solution, although many today like to make it more complicated. There are many Christians today who offer various programs geared to fixing such things, but most of them amount to pasting the name of Jesus on man’s wisdom — the world does exactly the same stuff without the name of Christ — AND you can make natural man …
