HE IS OUR SAVIOR, IS HE OUR LORD ALSO?

 Psalm 37:7 "Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices." ESV 

We can wait with contentment and acceptance when we have truly given our lives over to the Lord. He has gone before us and has worked out everything in His time and in His way. Wait and see! We will give Him praise and glory for the amazing things He does in our lives. We don't need to get uneasy or upset because there are trials. Nor do we need to worry when we see ungodly people having a seemingly smooth life. They will reap what they sow.

 

Heavenly Father, we acknowledge that Your ways are right and just. Strengthen our faith, draw us to the

Word, and give us an unquenchable desire to commune with You. We recognize we are in critical need of allowing You to not only be our Savior, but to be our Lord. In the name of Jesus we pray, Amen.

Psalm 46:10

 

"Be still, and know that I am God. . . " ESV

 

We can let our minds work at causing the world around us to get more quiet. Stop thinking about tomorrow. Stop thinking about our finances. Stop thinking about our jobs or lack thereof. Stop thinking about our family issues. Stop thinking about our illnesses. Stop thinking about what we have, don't have, or want to have. We can be thinking of God and His great power, His love, His grace, and His mercy. This is the greatest spiritual exercise there is. It benefits not only our minds, but our spirits and bodies as well.

 

Heavenly Father, forgive us for allowing the noise of this world drown out the innumerable blessings You give to us each day. Help us to be still, to just make an effort to listen only to the sounds of Your presence all around us. We thank You and ask this in the name of Jesus our Lord, Amen.

GOT SALVATION? GOT STRENGTH?

 

 

Isaiah 30:15

 

 

"For thus said the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, 'In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength.' But you were unwilling." ESV

 

 

We all want the benefits God has promised to those who trust and obey Him. Sadly, many of us are not willing to do the thing that will guarantee that happening. We don't want to let go of our own control of things, our possessions, our own ways. There is only one way we will have eternal life and the strength to get through this earthly life. It is by repenting and trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. It's the only way.

 

 

Heavenly Father, search our hearts and show us those places we have not allowed You full control. It may not be what we want to see, but help us to see beyond that to the great eternal reward that waits for us. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
