"Therefore will the Lord wait that he may be gracious unto you."

"Therefore will the Lord wait that he may be gracious unto you."

Isaiah 30:18

God often delays in answering prayer. We have several instances of this in sacred Scripture. Jacob did not get the blessing from the angel until near the dawn of day--he had to…

Battle Tested

Battle Tested. 2 Chronicles 20.1-30; Matthew 4.1-2

Good Day.

Jesus was tested because it enabled him to identify with anything and everything that we might face in our lives. The writer of Hebrews expressed, “Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. For in that He Himself has suffered,…

Morning Devotion (December 5) - C.H. Spurgeon

December 5

Morning

“Ask, and it shall be given you.”

- Mat_7:7

We know of a place in England still existing, where a dole of bread is served to every passerby who chooses to ask for it. Whoever the traveller may be, he has but to knock at the door of St. Cross Hospital, and there is the dole of bread for him. Jesus Christ so loveth sinners that he has built a St. Cross Hospital, so that whenever a sinner is hungry, he has but…

The Heart of Jesus

The word for Heart in Hebrew is Lev, which means the mind. Therefore, the heart of

Jesus reveals the love, pain, and compassion He felt for mankind.

Warm and throbbing, the heart of Jesus filled Him with concern for the welfare of

mankind. This man of God, who walked the earth, bore a heart of profound love…

Poem: Find Real Contentment

One of the secrets of successful living,

is recognizing Christ as your source.

For only His divine principles assure

that Life stays on the Kingdom’s course.

For happiness will never be found

in the possession of earthly things.

The deepest of joy resonates when…

it makes one’s heart sincerely sing.

A genuine relationship with Christ

inspires one’s spirit to mightily soar.

With Faith, we are more than conquerors;

nothing is better or…

Poem: Spiritual Values

Genuine spiritual values

bring us both light and joy,

when we belong to Christ -

as His faithful girls and boys.

This is possible when we lean

on the foundation of Scriptures.

For true Life can be found within

the Kingdom’s wisdom and virtues.

Exercising faith will be our key

for staying on our holy path.

Remember that the wages of sin,

can not escape Jehovah’s wrath.

We need to accept the gift of Grace

and be submerged…

Poem: Used For His Glory

The Body is composed of many parts

and it needs your gifting of talents;

open up your spirit and heart…

to provide God with holy service.

Don’t waste your earthly talents

with hardness of heart or disservice.

Find your identity in Christ!

Feed on the fullness of His Word

and enjoy His eternal Life!

Become part of Heaven’s story,

by allowing yourself to be…

Used for His Glory.

Does God smile

When Beverly, the leader of our bible study group, asked, ‘does God smile?’ I realized that I had

never considered this concept, but naturally, her question sparked my curiosity.

We know that God is a Spirit so how can He smile? We learned, also, from the Old Testament,

that He expressed the emotions of displeasure,…

Darkness of the night, keep trusting in Jesus!

Have you ever been through a dark time in your faith walk. And when there was no light at all. Your mind is like a roller coaster, and your foot is slowly starting to slip away from the firm foundation of that solid rock.The night of darkness has such much of stillness , you barely can hear the voice of God , or even feel his prescence . And all you hear is your own counsels and that evil dragon whispering his lies in your ear. Your like where is the Comforter in all this.The dark night…

Twas the Night Before Jesus Came

Twas the Night before Jesus came

Twas the night before Jesus came and all through the house

Not a creature was praying, not one in the house

Their bibles were lain on the shelf without care,

In hopes that Jesus would not come there.

Poem: Spiritual Secret (Power of Words)

Most fail to understand the spiritual secret,

regarding the true power of the human tongue.

Proper and improper usage of its strength, allows

one to create consequences, that are far flung.

Consider the idea of words as ‘containers’,

housing both creative and destructive powers.

For even God is bound (Scripturally) by His Word.

Learn to alter your speech, starting this very hour.

Although you’re free to choose what is…

Poem: She Gave More

One ordinary day at the temple,

Jesus purposed to watch people go by;

He observed their heart attitudes,

without them… even knowing why.

He watched the gait of the proudly rich,

dressed in their expensive clothes;

they jingled a portion of their wealth

and drew attention with uplifted noses.

Christ properly noticed and judged the scene

of them depositing their offering coins,

disappointed that they collected their reward

(of pride)…

They are coming Home

They are coming Home. Thanksgiving, 2014.

Happy Thanksgiving.

This is a unique year … three of my four children are up and out of the house, but will be coming home for Thanksgiving. Wait, wasn’t it just yesterday, that I was ten years old, running down the stairs in my big old Colonial Revival home with all of the smells of Thanksgiving already under way in my mother’s kitchen? And I was the youngest of four children, waiting for each of them to arrive! Time goes by.…
