Psalm 116:3    I Found Trouble    Believer you are not exempt from trials, but you have sufficient grace for any trouble. God’s choicest love letters are sent in black edged envelopes. The envelope frightens us, but if we know how to break the seal we will find riches for our soul. Great trials are the clouds from which God showers great mercies. Frequently, when the Lord has an extraordinary mercy send. He employs His rough and grizzled horses to…

From this time forth (Psalm 115:18)    We will bless the Lord from this time forth and forevermore. Our praise will never end. “From this time forth and forevermore” includes eternity. We praise Him not in our strength but in the strength of grace. That strength will never be exhausted; it will be renewed day by day.    If God takes you to the sick bed, if every limb becomes a mass of pain, if every nerve is a highway…

I suppose we all from time to time may feel some dissatisfaction with our lives. The majority of people are always on the fly. They never settle; they never light on any tree to build their nest. They are always fluttering from one tree to another; this tree is not green enough, that one is not beautiful enough, this one is not picturesque enough. They are always on the wing and never build a peaceful nest.     Luther compared…

Light in the darkness     The upright will have days of darkness, sickness, sorrow poverty, and depression. We just can’t escape it in life. Our finances may take wing and fly away and maybe our righteousness may be cruelly suspected by all. Clouds may lower around us, but any gloom will not last forever, because in due time the Lord will bring light.    As surely as a good person’s sun goes down, it will rise again. The darkness…

    Well here we are in the last days of summer. How fast time goes. We have seen all the goodness of God, beauty of nature in bloom. A gift from God. All of God’s gifts are prepared in advance and reserved for needs foreseen. He knows our future needs, and out of the fullness of Jesus Christ He provides from His goodness. Therefore we must trust Him for all our future needs. He has infallible foreknowledge about every…

I Remember You    When we have troubles, we as God’s children turn to God.The believing heart is like a needle in a compass. You can turn it with your finger, but when you withdraw the pressure it will turn toward its pole. The force of trials, the demands of work, or an overpowering lethargy can make us indifferent to our highest love, but this cannot continue because our only rest is in God.    Do you find you are…

Psalm 25:17, The troubles of my heart have multiplied; free me from my anguish.         The troubles of my heart    It is wonderful how difficulties flee in the face of omnipotence. The sick, who have been given up by the physician, often recover. It is, perhaps, God’s mercy that the physician gave up. When you reach the end, God has only begun. The old Proverb, “Man’s extremity is God’s opportunity,” is certainly true. If God wills it,…

Psalm 23:1, The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want. My Shepherd If you gave me one million dollars, one reversal of fortune could scatter it. Now, give me a spiritual hold on the divine assurance that “the Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want”, and I am set for life. I will never go broke with this stock in my hand or be bankrupt with this security. Don’t give me ready cash; give me a check book…

Psalm 22:24, For he has not despised or disdained the suffering of the afflicted one; he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help. God’s Attentiveness     God is so great and mighty that all things are little to Him. To us, the worlds are so enormous that we can’t estimate their size. We look in the sky and see all the stars, so many, we cannot count them. To God it…

Psalm 22:8, “He trusted in the Lord, let Him rescue Him; let Him deliver Him, since He delights in Him”     Do you have faith? With faith  we look for the end of every trial and we know this trial works together for good if we love God, if we are the called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28). With faith we can depend on God’s power during a trial. Therefore we don’t stumble but rise to the afflictions. …

Psalm 21:4, He asked you for life, and you gave it to him-length of days, for ever and ever.                                    “You gave it to him”         God will give us much more than we ask. Abraham asked God that Ishmael might live before him. He thought, “Surely this is the promised heir. I cannot expect Sarah to have a child in…

Message: From his abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another. John 1:16                       The Lord’s marvelous, loving kindness     Have you ever felt as though you are sinking into a depression? It feels almost like a real weight upon you. At times we think we will never get through this time. But after just one glimpse of God’s everlasting love, we are near God’s right hand.…
