CAN WE BE SURE?

 

Psalm 18:30

 

"This God--his way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him." ESV 

 

We have all questioned God or gotten angry with Him. We have all felt God has failed us or hasn't heard us. It is then that we stand on our faith, not our feelings, declaring that God is perfect, holy, and loving. We can choose to ignore our faith and the Holy Spirit. If we do that, we need to search our hearts to find if we have ever really known Him.

 

Lord Jesus, in our hearts we know You are the perfect, loving God. Forgive us for those times when we doubt and our faith is weak. Help us to bring honor to Your name no matter what is going on in our lives. In Your name we pray, Amen.

PUT SOME LIGHT ON IT

 

John 3:21

 

"But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God." ESV 

 

Isn't it interesting that we tend to hide when we know we have done something God would not like? Adam and Eve covered themselves up in the garden trying to hide their disobedience from God. Keeping our sins hidden so they won't be publicly exposed is very exhausting and stressful. Don't we all want a clean conscience? If we bring our sins to the light, confessing them to God, stop doing them, and ask for His forgiveness, we will have clean consciences. Then we can keep clean by living each day close to our Lord.

 

Heavenly Father, we ask You to forgive us and cleanse our hearts so that we will be able to come out of the darkness into the light. Help us to stay in Your light, free to live above sin and rejoicing in our clean consciences. In Jesus' name, Amen.

USE IT OR LOSE IT

 Philippians 3:16 

"Only let us hold true to what we have attained." ESV 



We often wonder why we have not received answer to our prayers for more maturity, knowledge, and revelation from Him. The reason we have not received more is because we have not used what He has already given us. If we put into practice all that we have, we will find that He gives us more in His time and in His way.

 

Heavenly Father, forgive us for failing to live in the light You have already given us and yet, we ask for more. Help us to savor the light we have, to use it to it's fullest so that we will be prepared to receive the light You are longing to add to what we have. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.

TRUE AND FALSE TEST, ITS PASS OR FAIL

 Matthew 13:24,25 "He put another parable before them saying, 'The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field, but while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away." ESV

 

 

Satan cannot uproot true Christians, so he deceitfully plants counterfeit Christians among them. He even goes so far as to plant counterfeit churches, counterfeit preachers and teachers, and in the last days, a counterfeit messiah. Unfortunately, this evil tactic will result in some of the very elect of God being deceived and believing lies. In His time, the true and the counterfeit will be revealed. If we stay alert, hide the Word in our hearts, keep being filled with the Holy Spirit, and always examining ourselves, we will be found as true Christians when our Lord comes to separate the true from the false.

 

Heavenly Father, You have told us that deception would be rampant in the last days. We earnestly pray that you will help us to stay alert, immerse ourselves in Your Word, and stay open to ongoing infilling of Your Holy Spirit. We long to be found as Your true children. In Jesus' name, Amen.
