The Delight Of Despair
The Delight Of Despair And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. — Revelation 1:17 It may be that like the apostle John you know Jesus Christ intimately, when suddenly He appears with no familiar characteristic at all, and the only thing you can do is to fall at His feet as dead. There are times when God cannot reveal Himself in any other way than in His majesty, and it is the awfulness of the vision which brings you to the delight of despair; if you are ever to be raised up, it must be …
The Fruit of the Vine
Reflections The Fruit of the Vine I am the vine, you are the branches: He that abides in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. (John 15:5) To ABIDE in Christ as a branch is possible only if I am first IN HIM. But once that is so, I have to live FROM HIM – I have to live drawing upon His life. Of course this is done by faith. But it also requires that I lose my life. Christ cannot be my life if I am still alive …

The Whole Armor Of God
The Whole Armor Of God We are to put on the “Whole Armor of God”, And having done so – stand, As the forces of evil seek to destroy God’s work and perfect plan. We gird ourselves with the “Truth”- Christ Jesus – Lord of all; And as our minds are stayed on Him, We’re safe whatever befall. We put on the “Breastplate of Righteousness” As we face the daily fight, Shunning all the works of iniquity, Standing for what is right. Our feet are shod with the “Gospel of Peace” As we walk on the battle ground, Leaving footprints …
“His mercies are new every morning”
“His mercies are new every morning” The LORD’S lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23 The prophet Jeremiah is believed to be the author of Lamentations (2 Chronicles 35:25). Jeremiah wrote Lamentations at a time of grief and sorrow, after Jerusalem fell to Babylon circa 586 B.C. This book describes great anguish and great hope in poetic form. The first two chapters lament over the fall of Jerusalem in excruciating and personal detail. The tone changes from despair to hope in chapter 3, verse 21 “But this …
“God has every one of your tears in the bottle of His remembrance (Psa. 56:8)
“God has every one of your tears in the bottle of His remembrance (Psa. 56:8), held in loving hands in a beautiful place where God never forgets the pain that has crushed our dreams and broken our hearts. God assures us that in one of the most compassionate acts of love ever recorded in the Scriptures, He will ‘wipe every tear from our eyes.’ Death will be gone for good–tears gone, crying gone, pain gone. With the gentle hands of a loving Father, He will reach over and wipe from your face those droplets of water that on earth have served …
Nobodies into Somebodies
Nobodies into Somebodies 1 Samuel 16:1–11 Samuel Anoints David as King Now the Lord said to Samuel, “You have mourned long enough for Saul. I have rejected him as king of Israel, so fill your flask with olive oil and go to Bethlehem. Find a man named Jesse who lives there, for I have selected one of his sons to be my king.” 2 But Samuel asked, “How can I do that? If Saul hears about it, he will kill me.” “Take a heifer with you,” the Lord replied, “and say that you have come to make a sacrifice to …
