Key Verse: Lamentations 3:22-23 “Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.”

 

Thank God for His incredible love for us!

 

As you read this, you might be facing the most unbearable and painful time in your life. You probably think, “How does this help me? I’m suffering right now. How can any verse make me feel better?” Beloved, I’ve been there, and I’m there now, every day. What it comes down to is faith. We have to take God at His word that He will do what He says… and God will comfort us and give us peace, no matter how whatever it is we are going through turns out. Philippians 4:6-7 is key here:

 

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

 

So when we take what God says by faith, He will give us peace! It’s about our faith in His word above all else. Read Philippians 4:6-7, slowly and carefully We may lose it all, our spouse may not make it, we may have a child that is going in the wrong direction in every way, we may be facing an insurmountable financial situation with no hope of getting out, or we may be going through a breakup or divorce that has caused unbearable pain. Or, He will give us all; our spouse will make it, our troubled child will change for the better, God will provide what we need to pay our bills, God will mend our relationship. The bottom line is that no matter what happens, God will answer and will give us peace that surpasses ALL understanding (because we can’t), will guard (comfort) your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Amazing!

 

God’s mercies are new every morning, and His faithfulness is great. This truth is a source of comfort and encouragement, especially when we face challenges and struggles. The power of the gospel assures us that we are not consumed by our past failures or present difficulties. Each day is an opportunity to experience God’s new mercies and to move forward in His strength. His love and faithfulness sustains us and empowers us to live victoriously. Let’s start each day with the assurance of God’s new mercies and faithfulness.

 

‘But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), ‘

Ephesians 2:4-5

 

Prayer: Father, thank You for Your new mercies every morning. Help me to live in the assurance of Your faithfulness and compassion. Empower me to share Your hope and renewal with others. Amen.

 

Daily Power-up: Take a few minutes to meditate on these verses and believe what God is says. Have faith. Rest in His promises.

 

  • Old Testament: Isaiah 41:10 – “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”
  • Gospels: John 14:27 – “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
  • Paul’s Letters: Romans 8:38-39 – “For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

 

 

Thank you for reading.

What Saith the Scripture?

Most problems in interpreting Bible passages arise from neglecting a passage’s context. The guiding principle of sound interpretation is to take a passage literally. Not maintaining this discipline, interpreting Scripture becomes made up, man’s idea, fantasy, and the passage can mean almost anything. The result is erroneous and ridiculous interpretations.

Another important principle to sound Bible interpretation is to read Scripture “in-time”. In other words, we have to read and study the Bible as a progressive revelation. Not getting ahead of God’s revelation.

God’s plan of redemption for mankind wasn’t revealed all at once to Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Isaiah, or any of the other old testament prophets. Not even Peter and the eleven were given the full counsel of God. The Lord revealed to each of the aforementioned what they needed at their particular time in Biblical history. A hermeneutical method that does not approach Scripture as a progressive revelation leads to erroneous interpretations.

To be a good bible student one must maintain a literal, grammatical and historical (in-time) hermeneutic. There has been much too much of man’s theology governing Scripture when it is God’s Word alone that reigns over theology.

The Good News

salvation

Salvation is a FREE GIFT from God. You don’t have to do anything but believe by faith that God sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die for your sins, was buried, and rose from the dead 3 days later.

THE GOOD NEWS

SALVATION

Salvation is a FREE GIFT from God. SALVATION IS BY FAITH ALONE & FAITH IS BELIEVING WHAT GOD SAYS.

  1. God declares all mankind sinners and we all fall short of Glory of God. Romans 3:23
  2. The payment for our sin is death. Romans 6:23
  3. But God…because he loved you so much sent His own Son, Jesus Christ, to die in your place, for your sins, was buried, and rose from the dead three days later. 1 Cor 15:1-42cor 5:21

All God asks is that you believe by faith alone in 1, 2, & 3. That you’re a sinner, separated from God but God sent his Son to die for your sins, was buried & rose again 3 days later.

that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

Romans 10:9
