OUR PROVIDER

 
 
Psalm 23:5


"You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows." ESV


The Lord is faithful to abundantly provide our needs openly before all to see. This is a testimony of His love and grace for unbelievers to know how loving our God is. Our enemies cannot stop God's provision for His children nor can they deny it. It is proof of God's favor toward those who belong to him.


Heavenly Father, how privileged we are that You would bless us in front of unbelievers. Forgive us for becoming prideful of that. Help us to understand that in blessing us, You are drawing unbelievers to Yourself. Give us hearts of humility and gratefulness so that we will be a testimony to those You are reaching. In Christ's name we pray, Amen.

KNOW HIM AS HE KNOWS US

 
John 10:14


"I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me." NIV


"I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine." KJV


A newborn baby learns it's mother's voice before it learns anything else. We recognize our loved ones by being familiar with them and their ways. We can only become familiar and know our Lord Jesus Christ when we spend time with Him and get to know Him in an intimate way. If we fail to do this, we will be deceived by others who seem to have the right answers. Only Jesus Christ will get us to eternal life, through Him. And that is only by knowing His voice and following only Him.


Heavenly Father, give us the hunger to make ourselves available to have communion with You so that we have intimate knowledge of You. Keep us aware of other voices in the world that sound good, but lead to destruction. Help us to hear and know Your voice so that we can be with You for eternity. In Jesus' name, Amen.

ANSWER THE DOOR



Do you ever wonder where your peace and communion with God are?
Do you desire it? If so, He is right here wanting you to answer His
call at the door of your heart. This is the place that you have gotten
separated from Him. He desires to come into your heart in complete
communion with Him. Listen for Him knocking, confess your sin, and
open your heart to Him. There is where you will find the peace and rest
you so desperately seek. It is with Him. Do you hear Him knocking at
your heart's door?

Read Revelation 3:20

"Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice
and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me."
(NIV)

"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and
open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with
me." (KJV)

WE'RE IN GOOD HANDS




In this day and age we often feel we are in a barren and dry place. Trouble
and uncertainty are all around us and we can get quite overwhelmed. Take
heart! God is right beside us, guiding us, and giving us everything we need
to make it through.

Read Isaiah 58:11

"The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun
scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well
watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail." (NIV)

"And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in
drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered
garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not." (KJV)

LORD OUR REFUGE




Seeking refuge in the Lord in troubled times is wise. This does not
mean we are running away from our problems and troubles. It means
we are in His hands where He can lift our spirit above our problems
and troubles so they do not overcome us. No one can tell us to run
from our enemies when we are in His hands.

Read Psalm 11:1

"In the Lord I take refuge. How then can you say to me: 'Flee like a
bird to your Mountain.'" (NIV)

"In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird
to your mountain?" (KJV)

HE IS OUR KEEPER




What a comfort to remember that we are God's people. He created
us and He watches over us with loving kindness and mercy. How
blessed we are!!

"Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his,
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture." (NIV)

"Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not
we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture." (KJV)
