God Blesses The Righteous

Psalms 5:12 For you will bless the righteous. LORD, you will surround him with favor as with a shield.

Thank God for His blessings and His protection. He surrounds us with His favor as with a shield. It says in Psalms 3:3: But you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.

Along this theme, Psalms 84:11 reads: For the LORD God is a sun and a shield. The LORD will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.

That's great! God withholds no good thing! Expect good things this hour from your God. And if He is not your God, call out to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God who sent Messiah Jesus. Seek His forgiveness and protecting love. Put your faith in His Son Jesus Christ.

The Apostle John wrote of Jesus in John 1:12: But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in his name.

Let's pray. God, we thank you for your incredible love. Your love sent Messiah Jesus. Your love surrounds us this hour like a shield. We are happy you are our God. Amen.

A Little Sanctuary

From Faith's Checkbook by Charles Spurgeon

"Therefore say, Thus says the Lord God; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come." Ezekiel 11:16.

BANISHED from the public means of grace, we are not removed from the grace of the means. The Lord who places his people where they feel as exiles will himself be with them, and be to them all that they could have had at home, in the place of their solemn assemblies. Take this to yourselves, O you who are called to wander!

God is to his people a place of refuge. They find sanctuary with him from every adversary. He is their place of worship too. He is with them as with Jacob when he slept in the open field, and rising, said, "Surely God was in this place." To them also he will be a sanctuary of quiet, like the Holy of Holies, which was the noiseless abode of the Eternal. They shall be quiet from fear of evil.

God himself, in Christ Jesus, is the sanctuary of mercy. The ark of the covenant is the Lord Jesus, and Aaron's rod, the pot of manna, the tables of the law, all are in Christ our sanctuary. In God we find the shrine of holiness and of communion. What more do we need? O Lord, fulfill this promise, and be ever to us as a little sanctuary!

Tares And Wheat

Matthew 13:24-30  He set another parable before them, saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field,

but while people slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel weeds also among the wheat, and went away.

But when the blade sprang up and produced fruit, then the darnel weeds appeared also.

The servants of the householder came and said to him, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where did this darnel come from?’

“He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ “The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and gather them up?’

“But he said, ‘No, lest perhaps while you gather up the darnel weeds, you root up the wheat with them.

Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, “First, gather up the darnel weeds, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”

Along these lines it says in  Matthew 3:12:  

His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor. He will gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.”

Let's pray: Lord, help us this day to stay on course in following Jesus and His teachings. Help us where we are weak to become overcomers.  For those who do not know you please help them to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ so they may be saved. Amen.

The Pure Words Of Jesus

I think about Jesus when I read these words about the Lord's words.

Psalm 12:6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

That's why I trust Jesus and His word to be the guide for my life.

The word of Jesus is pure and perfect and he is our strong shield: Psalm 18:30 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

The word of Jesus makes my heart happy and gives me wisdom: Psalm 19:8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

The word of Jesus is pure: Psalm 119:140 Thy word is very pure; therefore thy servant loveth it.

All Scripture points to Jesus. Remember what Jesus said to the disciples He met on the road after His resurrection? Luke 24:27: "And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself."

Let's pray: Please help us, Lord, to see Jesus in all of Scripture. Help us to read His clear instructions for life and eternal happiness. Amen.
