“RIGHT CHOICES!”

 1 John 1:17

“And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.” 

In Matthew 19:16-22 we read a sad story. A young man approached Jesus and asked what good thing he needed to do to inherit eternal life. In questioning him it was determined that this young man was obedient to the Law of Moses and he even loved his neighbor as himself.

In verse 21, Jesus offered him an invitation that would have changed his life. Jesus invited the young man to get rid of the things of this world and become His disciple.  

Here was an obedient and observant man who prided himself on doing even more than the Law required, yet he went away from Jesus with a sad and heavy heart. Why? — Because he had great wealth! His love of worldly possessions robbed him of the blessed opportunity of being a follower of our Lord and eternal life.

We can only wonder how long it was before he realized that the puny wealth of worldly goods amount to nothing. It is a question we must ask ourselves and especially in connection with today’s Scripture. Where is our heart of love?

Blessings dear hearts.  May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

“JOY TO THE WORLD!”

Psalm 98:4

“Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth; break forth in song, rejoice, and sing praises.”

 

Throughout scripture we are called upon to make a joyful noise before the Lord. In Psalm 98, all of creation is called upon to make a joyful noise before God. All around us we see the hand of a loving God who cared enough about us to send His own dear Son into the world to provide us with salvation.

 

This beautiful hymn was written by Isaac Watts. As we read and listen to the words of this moving Christmas hymn, we need to stop and ask ourselves if we are making a joyful noise before the Lord or just noise.   

 

 “JOY TO THE WORLD!”

Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.

Joy to the world, the Savior reigns!

Let men their songs employ;

While fields and floods, rocks, and plains

Repeat the sounding joy,

Repeat the sounding joy,

Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.

 

No more let sins and sorrows grow,

Nor thorns infest the ground;

Far as the curse is found,

Far as the curse is found

Far as, far as, the curse is found

 

He rules the world with truth and grace,

And makes the nations prove

The glories of His righteousness,

And wonders of His love,

And wonders of His love,

And wonders, wonders, of His love.

“NOW I SEE!”

1 Peter 4:12-13

“Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you;  but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.”

 

As I read the words of today’s Scripture, I realize that Christians across the centuries have encountered painful trials. As I have mentioned many times, all of the disciples (except John) experienced torture, suffering, and death.

 

Prior to the Day of Pentecost, the Apostle Peter was known for expressing his opinions before thinking or praying. Now that he had experienced prison, flogging, and humiliation, how would he respond?

 

Peter’s answer to conflict and trial in his life is the same that we are to practice in our own lives. It is what I like to think of as a - NOW I SEE! - moment. It is the time when we see the power of God’s Word as being more important than our natural reactions to our circumstances.

 

We are to see painful trials as something to be anticipated rather than some abnormal occurrence. Not only are we to expect trials in our life, we are to rejoice that we are able to participate in the suffering with Christ and look forward to being able to rejoice with Him when His glory is revealed.

 

Blessings dear hearts.  May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

“GOD WINS!”

 Job 42:5-6

“I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees You.  Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.”

 

I frequently receive messages from readers who feel as if the enemy of our souls has his weapons trained directly on them. They seem to give Satan more credit than he deserves.

I have been thinking of a few questions that may help to put things in perspective.

1.     Who is more powerful, God or Satan?

2.     Who is the defeated foe, God or Satan?

3.     Who wants to make your life miserable, God or Satan?

4.     Who wants you to allow Him to fight your battles, God or Satan?

5.     Who wants to tempt you into giving up, God or Satan?

You could add many more such questions. The important thing is to come to the same conclusion that Job did in today’s Scripture. It is not just hearing about God, but opening our spiritual eyes to see Him ready to meet our need.

Blessings dear hearts.  May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

“REPLACE PITY WITH PRAISE!”

 Proverbs 16:18

“Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake.”

 

With a subscriber base that reaches around the globe, each day I receive reports of trials and persecution that the saints of God are experiencing. It is easy to feel true sympathy for these people.

As I pray and meditate about those who are experiencing persecution, I am immediately aware that we are to rejoice with these people. In today’s Scripture the Greek word for “blessed” is “makarios."  It means to be happy to the point of rejoicing.

Why on earth would someone who is experiencing lies, persecution, and insults rejoice? The reason we encounter harsh treatment is to demonstrate our faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

It is essential to examine our persecution to determine if the cause is the result of faith in Jesus Christ or because of some type of our misconduct on our part. We cannot claim to be persecuted for Christ’s sake if we are guilty of doing something wrong.

Here is the bottom line—if we encounter ordeals in our life that are not the result of our sinful actions, we are blessed. We are told to count it joy and even to rejoice in our trials. We don’t need to pity, we need to praise!

Blessings dear hearts.  May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

“DEALING WITH PRIDE!”

 Proverbs 16:18

“Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.”

 

It is not necessary for us to deal with our own pride. God allows situations into our lives that make us realize we have nothing to be proud about. There are many embarrassing moments in my life. One that stands out in my memory happened years ago when I was teaching a class of young professionals. The class seemed to be very interested in everything I was saying, that is until I noticed that they all were looking down at my feet.

 

Finally one of the young women raised her hand and asked if there was a reason I was wearing one black shoe and one brown shoe?  I dreaded looking down, knowing that in my haste earlier that morning I had made a blunder. The class exploded in laughter at my expense. After recovering from my initial embarrassment, I sheepishly told them, “As strange as it may seem, I have another pair at home just like this pair!”

 

One of the things I have learned from these “red-faced” situations is that pride needs to be dealt a blow.  It is hard to act proud and aloof when you have on one brown shoe and one black shoe.

 

I earnestly pray that the Lord will continue to bring the “shoes” into my life any time I start to think more of myself than I ought. NOT ME—BUT CHRIST ONLY!

 

Blessings dear hearts.  May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
