Getting Too Comfortable

By

Scripture reading: 2 Corinthians 1:3-7

Hymn: The Comforter Has Come


Meditation:

Being comfortable means to be in a state of physical or mental comfort; contented and undisturbed. There are two ways we can be comfortable: physically and spiritually. We can be physically comfortable because we are in a position where there is no financial lack or terminal illnesses, and our lifestyle pleases us. We can be spiritually comfortable because we are connected to the source that supplies all our needs. Being in a state of comfort depends on who or what makes us comfortable. We can become so comfortable in our sinful state that we do not recognize there is a higher power that governs us. We can be so comfortable basking in our earthly possessions that we do not have time to seek the Lord, our creator. We can become complacent and so overly content with our lifestyle choices that we do not realize that we have wandered from the flock. We can drift so far from God that we do not recognize the pit we have dug for our souls. When we are comfortable in our sinful state, we do not regard or acknowledge God the creator. When we are too comfortable doing what pleases us, it causes us to slowly drift from the presence of Almighty God. What makes you comfortable? If you are comfortable in your sinful state, you are on board a ship that is heading down a dangerous path. You can find comfort in Jesus Christ, the father of mercies and the God of all comfort who comforts us in all our tribulations. 


Let us pray:

Dear Heavenly Father, God of all comfort who comforts us in all tribulations, the God who can comfort us in all situations, I glorify you because you are worthy to be praised. Father, we are reassured this morning that only in you can we find true and lasting comfort, and so, Lord God, we trade our worldly comfort for your everlasting comfort. Almighty God, we sacrifice all our earthly possessions, and we lay them at the altar so we can find contentment. Lord, we walk away from our lifestyle of sin so we can enjoy the peace and serenity of you, our faithful God. Almighty God, I pray that our spiritually blinded eyes will be open so we can see the deceptive work of the enemy behind the scenes and the sin that captivated us. Almighty God, unveil us and robe us by your grace as we now give you thanks for the comforter, the Holy Spirit, which you have sent to teach us all things through Jesus Christ. Amen. 


Have a great day. Keep safe.🩷

In Him Will I Trust

Good morning Scripture reading: Psalm 20 Worship song: I Will Say of The Lord   Meditation:      When the children of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir rose up against King Jehoshaphat of Judah, he became afraid and sought the Lord's help. He proclaimed a solemn fast throughout all of Judah, and all the people stood before God, including women and children, seeking his divine help against the great armies. Jehoshaphat urged the people of Judah and Jerusalem to believe in the Lord God and trust the word of the messenger, and they would prosper and triumph in the battle against the army that pursued them. He also appointed singers to worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness and to praise him for his mercy endures forever (2 Chronicles 20).       When you are facing giants, cry out to God, trust His plans, and worship Him with a sincere heart; praise Him in the beauty of holiness. Do not be like those who trust in earthly rulers, human strength...

 Day of prayer   O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth forever. Psalm 118:1   Worship song: Thanks   Let us pray:      Almighty one, let your mercy prevail over us, O God, breathe upon us afresh and renew our mindset until it overflows with gratitude and thankfulness as we celebrate with appreciation your goodness, grace, and mercy. May we experience a renewed sense of hope and joy as we celebrate with a grateful heart your sacrificial offering for our redemption. Help us to rejoice not just in the blessings we receive but in the gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ, who died to redeem sinners. Draw us closer to you and prepare us to welcome you in our hearts, minds, and souls, O God. May this season of refreshing deepen our faith and fill us with the wonders of your presence, bringing us to a place where we recognize that you are our only redeemer, the only wise God, and Savior capable of breaking the chains of bo...

Purification of The Heart

By

Good morning Scripture: St. Matthew 15:8-20 Worship song: Create in Me A Clean Heart   Meditation:      The heart symbolizes the center or core of our being from which we operate. It is like the driving force behind our actions. It can be referred to as a person's character or the place within a person where feelings or emotions are generated. The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. Jeremiah, the prophet, says, who can know it? (Jeremiah 17:9). Only God can. He searches the heart, tries it, and rewards every man according to his ways and the fruit it produces. The heart is like a factory where products are produced and exported.       Whatever evil the heart produces, it will be shipped throughout the rest of our body, exit through our mouth, and defile us. Among the things that the heart produces are evil thoughts, wickedness, stealing, envy, striving, covetousness, and the like. A person is made or broken by wha...

Miracle Working God

Good morning Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. (Jeremiah 17:7). Hymn: My Hope is Built on Nothing Less   Testimony:      When God has you covered, when his hands of mercy and grace are extended, and when your faith is stronger than your situation, you can rejoice and glorify the King of kings. My faith and trust in God are further heightened, and my hope has increased after hearing a victory testimony from a relative who doctors thought had no chance of survival after his diagnosis. I can truly say my God is good, O, and he is still working miracles. A recent medical examination determined that there was no trace of cancer in his body. Through prayer, praise, faith, trusting God, a strict diet plan, follow-up visits to the physician, and nurture and care by his loving wife, who stood by him, pampering, comforting, and nursing him, he is now rejoicing and giving God thanks. Look what the Lord has done.     ...
