At the dawn of time, God brought about everything…from nothing. He is the Maker of everything you see, hear, touch, and smell. He was before time, and He will remain as such forever into eternity.

Revelation 19: 1-2 “After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting: ‘Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, for true and just are His judgements.’ ”
Imagine the loudest sporting event you’ve ever been to…the crowd is whipped up to a frenzy as the team is about to score the winning point…it’s absolutely deafening as the crowd hollers. That noise level is tame compared to the great sound that comes from around the Throne by the multitudes upon multitudes of saints shouting “Praise the Lord!” They are filling the entire heavens with His glory by their shouts of Hallelujah! And someday we’ll be joining them in that magnificent chorus…rooting on “The Winning Team!”
Jeremiah 4: 3-4 “…Break up your unplowed ground and do not sow among thorns. Circumcise yourselves to the Lord, circumcise your hearts…”
If your Christian life seems to be unfruitful, the first question to ask yourself is…am I getting filled in order to be emptied? Getting into the Word daily is vitally important, as is seeking the Lord through prayer. If your life is dry and barren as a desert scene, it may be time to renew your commitment to the Lord…and then watch your desert flourish into an oasis for others.
Hebrews 4:13 “Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.”
All that I’ve ever done will be stripped and exposed to plain view before the Lord someday, and I’ll have to give an explanation for each act. There’ll be no excuses, no whining, no blaming others for what I did…only total honesty before the Lord. Reality will suddenly take on a brand new face, as I stand before my Creator and see myself for what I truly am…a sinner.
Isaiah 33:2 ” O Lord, be gracious to us; we long for you. Be our strength every morning, our salvation in time of distress.”
Be kind and merciful Lord as I wait on You. Be my strength when I have none, be my victory when I am filled with anguish…for in You Lord, I have found unfailing love. Amen
Psalm 86: 6-7 ” Hear my prayer, O Lord; listen to my cry for mercy. In the day of my trouble I will call to You, for You will answer me.”
Sometimes we feel like no one is listening…that our words are falling on uncaring and deaf ears. Especially when we’re hurting, we want those around us to pay attention to what we’re saying. But we never need to worry or doubt that the Lord is not listening to us…that He doesn’t hear our cries for help…that He’s not willing to come to our aid.
Galatians 6:9 ” Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
It can be very discouraging when our acts of kindness and good will go unacknowledged and unappreciated. But rather than losing heart and feeling defeated spiritually, we must remember that the opportune time is coming…the bountiful season is approaching, when if we but persevere in doing good, the fruits of all we’ve done will be ours.
Isaiah 40:8 ” The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the Word of our God stands forever.”
Everything around us is temporal…here for a short time and then gone. Everything that is, except the Word of God. His Word is eternal and forever, and always fulfilled by Him. God’s Word will never pass away…it will never fade from sight.
Romans 12:21 ” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”
When we’re exhausted and emotionally spent it’s much easier to be overpowered by the evil one. He waits until we’re at our lowest to harm us and our relationships with others. But the Lord wants us to remember that at those low points in our lives we can still be victorious in conquering iniquity with righteousness. Evil can be overcome by good with His help.
Psalm 27:1 ” The Lord is my light and my salvation – whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life – of whom shall I be afraid?”
The Lord is my enlightenment and deliverance…a citadel of strength that I can run to in times of trouble. When danger comes near, I don’t have to be paralyzed with fear and trembling because He is ever near to me. He sustains me, and becomes my strength when mine fails within me. My hope is in the Lord…in Him I trust.
