Provision Will Come

Verse of the Week

“The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make His face shine

upon you, and be gracious to you.” (Numbers 6:24-25 NKJV)

September 8^th – 14^th

Scripture Reading:  2 Kings 4; Numbers 6:24-26

Provision Will Come

For the first time in my life, when we went grocery shopping, the shelves were bare and it wasn't because of an expected snowstorm heading our way.  Out of fear people have panicked that they wouldn't have provisions.  With the global pandemic it has caused a ripple effect on merchandise and manufacturing that trickles down to product and sales.   No product, no sales.  How are we to respond to these realities as believers?

We are to remain in hope and trust God by reminding ourselves how He cared for others in our situation.  Throughout the Bible there are examples of how the Lord took care of His people in various circumstances.

Repeatedly God provided resources for the Israelites such as manna and quail when they were in the wilderness. He sent a prophet to help a desperate widow and filled her empty pots with oil (2 Kings 4).  Jehovah fed Elijah commissioning the assistance of ravens.  By the direction of God, Joseph set a plan during a famine and was able to feed nations.

Let us not forget how Jesus fed multitudes with fish and bread.  This same God will bless and keep you. Trust in Him to be gracious, believing your provision will come at the right time. (cw)

“The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make His face shine

upon you, and be gracious to you; the LORD life up His countenance

upon you, and give you peace.” (Numbers 6:24-26 NKJV)

Three Little Words

Verse of the Week

“God reigns over the nations; God sits on His Holy throne.”

(Psalm 47:8 NKJV)

September 1^st – 7^th

Scripture Reading: Deuteronomy 33:25; Psalm 47:8, 91:7, 96:10

Three Little Words

"Breaking News" seems to be flashing across our TV and computer screens more than usual.  With media bombarding so much negativity it sends an alarm of fear and uncertainty. The best thing to do at those moments is to turn off the electronics and stop believing the lies of the devil.

I’m not suggesting to cut ourselves off from society, or be oblivious to what’s happening, but don’t be persuaded by worldly beliefs.  Those who put their faith in the Lord shouldn't be taken in by what the world is reporting, but trust in God because He reigns over everything including nations.

“God reigns over the nations; God sits on His Holy throne.”

(Psalm 47:8 NKJV)

Say among the nations, the LORD reigns; the world also is firmly established.  It shall not be moved; He shall judge the peoples righteously.” 

(Psalm 96:10 NKJV)

Christians are to share the message to live by faith not fear, and that our hope is in the Lord.  We should never forget that He is in control and rejoice in these three little words – the Lord reigns!

When others look at a believer, they expect to see a confident person, not a mass of emotions or a bundle of nerves.  Whatever is happening in your life, learn to expect God to strengthen you for a good out come.

“Your sandals shall be iron and bronze; as your days,

so shall your strength be.” (Deuteronomy 33:25 NKJV)

Believe God will supply you with all the strength you need during difficult and trying times.  Be comforted by those three little words knowing the Lord will see you through it all. (cw)

Let the earth rejoice in these three little words:

The Lord Reigns. (Psalm 97:1).

Jesus Lives

Verse of the Week

“I am He that lives, and was dead.  Behold, I am alive forevermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.” (Revelation 1:18 NKJV)

 April 15th– 21st

 Scripture Reading: Luke 24:11; John 20:27-30, Revelation 1:18

Jesus Lives

News reached the Disciples that the tomb was empty and Jesus was risen from the dead.  It quickly spread across the land, but sounded like nonsense to those who heard and they simply didn’t believe, including the disciples He taught. (Luke 24:11 NLT)

Suddenly, Jesus appeared before them in a room that was locked from the inside.  Filled with fear, disbelief and wonder, had they seen a ghost?

Showing His wounds, the Disciples eyes were opened that Jesus was alive! He lives … just as He said.  Thomas was not with the other disciples when Christ first appeared, but in explaining that Christ had risen from the dead in disbelief he said,

“I won’t believe it unless I see the nail wounds in His hands,

put my fingers into them, and place my hand into the wound in His side.”

(John 20:25 NLT).

Eight days later Thomas did just that … he touched the Risen Savior and truly came to believe.  Jesus had risen and was very much alive!  The sad thing is that he didn’t believe Christ’s words, but wanted additional proof.

Just as it was then, the evidence of Jesus’ resurrection is overwhelming.  Testimony upon testimony point out the steps of Jesus after He rose from the grave, and the miraculous transformation of lives He’s still doing today for those who believe.

“I am He that lives, and was dead.  Behold, I am alive forevermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.” (Revelation 1:18 NKJV)

Friend, Christ really rose from the grave and lives today.  What will it take for you to believe that Jesus lives?   Stop doubting!  As Jesus told Thomas,

Don’t be an unbeliever, believe! (cw/jw)

What Does Jesus Want from Me?

Verse of the Month

“…all have sinned and fall short 

of the glory of God.”

(Romans 3:23 NKJV)

Scripture Reading: 

2 Peter 3:9; John 14:6

  

What Does Jesus Want from Me?

Have you ever wondered or asked, “What exactly does Jesus want from me (or us)?”  Life is happening all around you, but something seems to be missing leaving you unfulfilled.  The reason is, because God is trying to get your attention to what He has in store for your life, but there is something you have to do first.

The Bible says that before we can expect to hear from God or receive His promises we must repent of our sins and turn away from them.  He is eager to answer our prayers and the desires of our heart. 

“The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, 

but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that

all should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9 NKJV)

He wants our obedience in accepting Him as Lord and Savior, so that we receive the gift of redemption from sin that He provided on the cross. He longs for to have fellowship with us now and for all eternity in Heaven.  Sin prevents a relationship between God and mankind; believing in Jesus as His Son and Redeemer is how all relationships with God happens.

Can we get right with God some other way?  No, because the Holy scriptures make it clear that there is only one way to God, and that’s through Jesus.

“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. 

No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6 NJKV)

If you are willing God is ready to become a part of your life by praying the sinner’s prayer.  Do it now and He will reveal to you through the Holy Spirit what good things He has planned for your life.

If you have walked away from the Lord, don’t delay in asking Him to forgive you for not obeying what He says in His Word.  Repent now to get right with Him and soon you will be hearing exactly what He wants from you. (cw)
