The Scars That Never Fade

By

Good morning

Scripture Reading: Isaiah 61:1-3

Worship Song: When His Wounded Hands...

 


Meditation:

    Visible scars on our bodies serve as a powerful reminder of the wounds we have endured from painful experiences. They testify to our resilience and strength as survivors. They reflect not only the struggles we faced but also remind us that we have triumphed over them. 

    Unlike many scars we bear, the scars of Jesus are not the result of accident or wrongdoing. The scars on His hands, feet, and side represent the nail scars of profound injustice he willingly endured for humanity. He endures the pain and agony of nails hammering through him for our sake. He was wounded and afflicted for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities, and bore every stripe for spiritual, emotional, and physical healing. Because of His ultimate sacrifice, we have the opportunity to live eternally. 

    To reject Jesus Christ is to turn away from the greatest gift ever awarded to humans. Accept Jesus Christ, repent, confess, and surrender all to him, and you will be saved from the wrath to come.

Let's pray.

    My blessed redeemer, it is joyful to know that through your ultimate sacrifice, we can embrace everlasting life and be liberated from the burden of our sins. Abba Father, I belong to you, and I am eternally grateful to you for the moment you reached down and rescued me from my deepest despair. Daddy Jesus, your scars I have learned to appreciate, for they represent the stains of my sins that were nailed to the cross. Father, I am extremely grateful that You have transformed my life, given me beauty for ashes, and turned my mourning into dancing. In times when I saw only pain, darkness, and scars, you showed me life and mercy. I am sincerely grateful that I am no longer what I used to be because you live inside me. Thank you, Lord, for your efficacious blood that was shed to liberate the captive and open the prison doors to release us from the bondage of sin. Amen. 

Peace and love. Shalom. ✌💓🙏

    There is always something there to remind us. That is sufficient enough. It is the weakness of human to forget but with a reminder we will stay aligned.

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

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...
