Isaiah 6:5

 


Woe is me! I am lost, for I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips; yet my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!

 Is 6:5

The Holy Bible: New Revised Standard Version, Catholic Edition (Washington, DC: National Council of Churches of Christ, 1993)

The Lord Jesus did not come to heal the righteous but to save the sinner. The wonders He performed were to serve as proofs of God's existence and convert the hearts and souls of the sinner. In this manner He was the image of God in the flesh. He followed the directive of His father so perfectly that Father and son were one, even unto death on the cross and resurrection from the grave. Though I was not there at that time I believe in the existence of the Father, Son and holy spirit. 


May Christ bless and keep you safe.

The calling

 David longed to build a temple for God’s service. Solomon reckoned it his glory to accomplish the work. But we, who have God made flesh dwelling in our tabernacles, ought to think no time, no zeal, no treasures too much to devote to the splendor and beauty of a Christian church. We are that church.


John Gilmary Shea, Pictorial Lives of the Saints (New York; Cincinnati; Chicago: Benziger Brothers, 1887), 429.


   I am not able to carry all this people alone, for they are too heavy for me.

        Num. 11:14


It is most needful for all servants of Christ to remember that whenever the Lord places a man in a position of responsibility, He will both fit him for it and maintain him in it.

It is, of course, another thing altogether if a man will rush unsent into any field of work, or any post of difficulty or danger. In such a case we may assuredly look for a thorough breakdown, sooner or later. But when God calls a man to a certain position, He will endow him with the needed grace to occupy it.

This holds good in every case. We can never fail if we only cling to the living God. We can never run dry if we are drawing from the fountain. Our tiny springs will soon dry up; but our Lord Jesus Christ declares, “He that believeth in me, as the Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.”

Every calling that is of the Lord will be fruitful. He provides our every need. Though the going may be hard at times, He will always be there and supportive of the journey.


May the good Lord bless and keep you safe.

Self Exalted

 


  Whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted

        Luke 14:11



Seeking fame and fortune to exalt one's self is ultimately your reward in this life. Living for self has no place in heaven. The humble will be exalted in heaven. Living for others in Christ gains rewards in heaven. It also has rewards in this life, growth in the spirit and a full heart. 


May the good Lord bless and keep you safe.

Full or Empty?

 


  I know how to abound

        Phil. 4:12


It is a dangerous thing to be prosperous. The crucible of adversity is a less severe trial to the Christian than the refining-pot of prosperity. It needs more than human skill to carry the brimming cup of mortal joy with a steady hand; yet Paul had learned that skill, for he declares, “In all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry.” When we have much of God’s providential mercies it often happens that we have but little of God’s grace; satisfied with earth, we are content to do without Heaven. Rest assured, it is harder to know how to be full than it is to know how to be hungry, so desperate is the tendency of human nature to pride and forgetfulness of God. Take care that you ask in your prayers that God would teach you “how to be full.”


Spurgeon

Samuel G. Hardman and Dwight Lyman Moody, Thoughts for the Quiet Hour (Willow Grove, PA: Woodlawn Electronic Publishing, 1997).


I know what it is to have enough to survive and also what having nothing but a can of soup on the shelf to feed a wife, a baby daughter and self is like. It is harder to remember that having enough to survive is harder when giving thanks and remembering that the Lord has blessed me in all things. In times of bounty give thanks that you are taught that poverty is also just around the corner.


May the good Lord bless and keep you safe.
