Refuge In the Lord

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Psalm 46

Worship song: Hide Me Now

 


Meditation:

    In Joshua chapter twenty, there were six cities designated as cities of refuge for those accused of accidental manslaughter without evidence of hatred. Individuals facing such accusations could flee to one of these cities, finding safety and protection from the avenger of blood. However, the accuser would face the death penalty if caught before reaching one of the cities of refuge, or if he left the safety before the death of the reigning priest and before the verdict of the trial. These cities of refuge can somewhat be compared to the opportunities and privileges that sinners have to find refuge and shelter in Jesus Christ. 

    We can seek refuge in Christ, where we can escape the wrath of God, the penalty for sin, and the dangers and destruction that are to come. Only in Jesus Christ are we safe and secure, free from all harm and danger. Only through Jesus Christ are we privileged to obtain salvation and freedom from the bondage of sin. Only Jesus can protect us from the snare of the fowler and the noisome pestilence. Our Saviour, Jesus Christ, is our refuge and strong tower; only in Him should we trust. If you are fleeing from the destroyer of souls, from dangers, toils, and snares, from the rulers of darkness, and you are seeking freedom from the bondage of sins, you can find refuge in Jesus Christ who is waiting patiently with open arms to welcome you into his sweet haven.

Let us pray:

    Everlasting Father, my fortress and strong tower, I place my unwavering trust in You. Preserve me, O God, and let me dwell in your presence all the days of my life. Father, I beseech, O God, that you give your angels charge over us, safeguarding us from harm, danger, and noisome pestilences. Protect us from every evil planner and those who conspire against us. Block the path of those who set traps for our downfall, mighty God. Most importantly, Lord God, rescue our souls, hearts, and minds from corrupt thoughts and strongholds. Draw us closer to you, O God, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen.

Have a fantastic day. 💞🙏

During Difficult Moments

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Daniel 3:23-25 Worship song: Through The Fire   Meditation:      There will be seasons of pain, brokenness, heartache, and struggles. There will be times when our faith is tested and our hope is shattered. There will be times when we will encounter great tribulation. We will be despised by our fellow men, afflicted, rejected, condemned, and humiliated, but think it not strange concerning the fiery trials that will try you. The Hebrew boys' faith was tested and tried, but they remained resilient, fervent, and steadfast, trusting God and exercising faith while their oppressors maliciously schemed and plotted against them.       Don't think it strange when, as believers, these things happen; don't be alarmed or panic, but rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for when the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, you will be numbered among the faithful. Be cognizant of the fact that there is no trial or struggle that y...

The Death of The Wicked

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Ezekiel 33: 1-20 Praise song: Only a Look   Meditation:      All of us have an appointment with death, which we cannot cancel, for all must die. Nevertheless, there is a difference between the death of the sinner and the death of the redeemed. When the redeemed die, they will one day be resurrected to eternal life, but the ungodly to eternal torment in the lake of fire prepared for Satan and his cohorts of darkness. While Jesus was speaking to his disciples, he cautioned them not to fear those who destroy the body, but rather to fear him who can destroy both soul and body.        Those who die in Christ should not fear death, for death is not their final destiny. Those who die while meddling in their sin and wickedness, refusing to surrender to Christ, will receive the wrath of God as their reward. Jehovah God declares that he finds no joy, no pleasure in the death of the wicked, and no pleasure in the pun...

Seeking The Lost at Any Cost

By

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Luke 15:1-7 Worship song: Ninety and Nine   Meditation:      After an extensive search for a misplaced document that held significant importance, I experienced an overwhelming amount of frustration and anxiety. Finally, I decided to discontinue the search and reluctantly accepted the possibility of its loss, though I remain hopeful. Reflecting on this experience, I imagine the Lord's feelings when the ones he loved turn away from him and refuse to surrender. When we resist his call, we must remember we are precious and valuable in God's sight and his love is unconditional. His desire for us is for us to turn from our sinful ways and seek Him earnestly.       God takes no pleasure in the demise of the ungodly and does not wish for anyone to perish in their transgressions. Our shepherd, Jesus Christ, stands ready to guide us away from the path of destruction and lead us out of the wilderness of sin. God ...

An Influenced Mind

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Romans 12:1-2 Worship song: Change My Heart Oh God   Meditation:      It is important to realize that our minds can be profoundly influenced by the performance, attitude, moral standards, conduct, actions, and spoken words of others, whether negatively or positively. When we allow ourselves to be persuaded by flattery, praise, and compliments, we risk letting our lives be fashioned by others' opinions instead of our convictions. We must remember that Satan is a master of manipulation, seeking to invade and control our thoughts to influence our actions. We must be able to discern and recognize deceptive influences.       When we focus our minds on Christ, the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will safeguard our minds. Our minds are influenced by what we gravitate to, so it is vital to keep our minds focused on God and his precepts. Be not deceived; evil communications corrupt good manners. If...
