Daily Word - Tender Mercies

Daily Word - Tender Mercies

We all have ... and we all will ... fall into sin and transgress against
God. We are born into sin and have inherited this from the minute we
were born ... but the "sin we fall into" ... our transgressions ... is
by our own choice of disobedience ... allowing the love for our own
desires to outweigh our love for God.

When David sinned greatly against God in his desire for Bathsheba ... he
was rebuked by the prophet Nathan ... and repented immediately ... and
in his earnest cry to God's forgiveness ... wrote Psalm 51 as a record
of his repentance and for us to remember when we sin ... fall to our own
desires ... to reach out for God's tender mercies. Here are a few
verses from David's Psalm ... but we should read this Psalm in its
entirety each day ... and every time we transgress against our heavenly
Father ... and Christ our Lord.

Psalm 51: 1-5
Have mercy on me, O God, according to your loving kindness: according to
the multitude of your tender mercies ... Wash me thoroughly from my
iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my
transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. Against you, you only,
have I sinned, and done this evil in your sight ... Behold, I was shaped
in iniquity

Psalm 51: 7-12
Purge me ... wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow ... Hide your face
from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean
heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from
your presence; and take not your holy spirit from me. Restore to me the
joy of your salvation; and uphold me with your free spirit.

Psalm 51: 17
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart

Daily Walk - Evil Heart

Daily Walk - Evil Heart

The wisdom of the world tells us to follow our heart in our decisions
... to seek out our heart's desires ... to let our heart guide us in
life. But the Word of God warns us of our evil hearts ... the heart of
flesh that is so easily tempted and turned by the enemy ... and is by
its nature ... contrary to God ... evil and full of disobedience and
evil imaginations.

So instead of letting our feelings ... our heart's desires ... guide us
through life ... we must let the blood of Christ flow through our hearts
... cleansing and transforming them into the image of His heart ... that
suffered for all ... died to destroy sin and death ... and rose again to
be glorified with the Father ... forever. Let all our hearts be
purified through the blood of Christ.

Jeremiah 7: 24
But they listened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the
counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward,
and not forward

Jeremiah 18: 12
We will walk after our own devices, and we will every one do the
imagination of his evil heart.

Hebrews 3: 12
Take heed, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of
unbelief, in departing from the living God.

James 4: 8
Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you
sinners; and purify your hearts.

Daily Word - Afterwards

We can look around ourselves and see the evidence of God's amazing plan
in creation ... and how He has fashioned so many things that must
transform in His wondrous design ... the caterpillar to the chrysalis,
to the butterfly ... the tadpole to the legged pollywog, to the frog ...
the carbon from coal, to the beautiful diamond stone.

And similarly ... all of us have been born into this world ...
descendants of sin and flesh ... worldly in nature ... but created in
the divine image of God. And like the butterfly ... we die to our flesh
have become a new creature in Christ. Then our transformation ... our
sanctification ... continues as the Holy Spirit finishes His work in us
... until that day that we are glorified together with Christ ... and
God's awesome design for each of us will be complete ... forever.

Psalm 73: 24
You shall guide me with your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.

1 Corinthians 15: 46
That was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and
afterward that which is spiritual.

Ephesians 4: 24
You put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and
true holiness.

Daily Word - Run

5/19/2025

Everyone has moments of weakness and doubt. Even the prophet Elijah ...
after being used by God in a miraculous display of His awesome power as
the one true God ... he finds himself full of fear and running for his
life from the evil sorceress, Jezebel ... and wishing for his life to end.

But God in His grace and mercy ... sends an angel to minister to Elijah
in this dark and desperate time ... and reminds him that God is with him
... He will strengthen him ... and provide all that he needs.
Recuperated and encouraged, Elijah continues on God's plan for him to
face and defeat Jezebel.

Like Elijah, we can become fearful and discouraged by the trials in life
and we just feel like giving up ... giving in ... running away ... or
just wishing it to end. But we can rest assured that God is right there
with us ... ready to minister to our needs ... to encourage and
strengthen us ... so we can continue on in God's plan for us ... and
defeat the enemy in every battle ... by His power.

1 Kings 19: 2-4
Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying ... your life ... by
tomorrow ... And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life ...
into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he
requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O
LORD, take away my life

Psalm 27: 1
The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is
the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Daily Word - Ditches

Daily Word - Ditches

Throughout the bible we see that God's provision is preceded by a call
for our faith and obedience. When the armies of God's people were in
battle and without any water to drink for themselves and their livestock
... God required them first to dig ditches throughout the valley they
were in so that when God provided them with water, it would be held by
these ditches and His blessing of water would not run off and be lost in
the valley.

What ditches is God calling us to dig so we can receive His faithful
blessings in our lives? Do we say to ourselves, "I don't see any water
coming?" Our faith and our obedience ... allows us to receive God's
blessings ... or else we may watch and see His blessings run off off and
be lost in the valley ... without our ditches being filled with His
provision.

2 Kings 3: 14-18
And Elisha said ... Thus said the LORD, Make this valley full of ditches
... You shall not see wind, neither shall you see rain; yet that valley
shall be filled with water, that you may drink, both you, and your
cattle, and your beasts

Daily Word - By Faith

Daily Word - By Faith

Our faith produces trust. Our trust leads us to obedience. When we
find ourselves struggling with obedience to God ... it begins with our
faith in Him ... to trust that He will do what He has promised ... that
He will provide for our every need ... that He will never leave nor
forsake us ... and that we must act on our own to gain whatever it is
that we desire.

If we do not have faith and trust in the little things like earthly
possessions ... daily problems ... life's struggles ... how can we claim
to have faith in the everlasting ones? That by faith and trust in
Christ and His sacrifice on the cross ... that we have become heirs with
Him? Let us trust the Lord with all our minds, hearts and strength
every day we are given.

Hebrews 11: 1
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things
not seen.

Psalm 18: 2
The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my
strength, in whom I will trust

Daily Word - Joint Heirs

Daily Word - Joint Heirs

There is a common struggle that everyone faces ... looking for their
fair share of blessings .... a portion of what they deserve in this life
... whether it be love ... happiness ... or material possessions ... and
spend their entire lives pursuing these things only to find that the
measure of their fair share ... it is never enough to satisfy ... the
flesh is never satisfied.

But when we look to Christ ... we are given more than we could ever
deserve. What could we ever do to earn the place of an heir with Christ
in all things? It is only through the love of Christ ... and the mercy
we've received through His sacrifice ... that we have been given all
from the Father in Christ ... not deserving anything ... but by grace
receiving all.

Hebrews 1: 1-2
God ... Has in these last days spoken to us by his Son, whom he has
appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds

Romans 8: 15-18
You have received the Spirit of adoption ... The Spirit itself bears
witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God ... And if
children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ

Daily Word - Joy Comes

Daily Word - Joy Comes

It's always hard ... sometimes nearly impossible ... to see the end of
the storm when we're in the midst of the very worst part. It can feel
like it will never pass ... and we should just give in and let ourselves
be carried away by the wind and waves that surround us ... And that's
exactly what the enemy intends ... for us to just give up ... lose faith
... and surrender our inheritance.

But we can trust the promises of God ... every one is true ... every one
is good ... and during these storms we can remember and hold fast to His
promise that joy comes ...

Psalm 30: 5
For his anger endures but a moment; in his favor is life: weeping may
endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

Isaiah 51: 11
Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return ... and everlasting joy
shall be on their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow
and mourning shall flee away.

Daily Word - Always

5/12/2025

Even in our darkest times ... when there is no one else we can turn to
or count on for help and comfort ... one promise is made from our gracious
Savior ... that He will always be with us ... forever by our side.

We only need to turn our eyes and hearts to Him ... and He will reach
out and strengthen us with His strength ... and give us His peace and
rest ... even in our fiercest storms.

Matthew 28: 20
I am with you always, even to the end of the world

Hebrews 13: 5
For he has said, I will never leave you, nor forsake you

Matthew 11: 28
Come to me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest

Daily Word - Full of Grace and Truth

Daily Word - Full of grace and truth

Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior ... is clearly described in the gospel
of John chapter 1 as God's only begotten Son, full of grace and truth ...

In life he is my life, and in death he shall be the death of death; in
poverty Christ is my riches; in sickness He is my physician; in darkness
He is my light, and in brightness He is my shelter; He is the manna in
the wilderness, and He the water from the rock. Jesus is to me all
grace and all truth ... no falsehood and no condemnation. Truth and
grace, He is full ... infinitely full. May my soul bless You with all my
might ... for you are the only Begotten Son of the Father.

John 1: 1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word
was God

John 1: 14
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelled among us, (and we beheld His
glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace
and truth
