Isaiah 55:6

Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near ~ Isaiah 55:6


There will come a day when the Lord’s grace will be closed for those who do decide not to draw near to Him. We will all face the Lord one day, be it soon, or be it late, we will stand before His great judgment seat. We will be judged on our actions, our words, how we have loved Him and others, and our belief in Him. If we have sought the Lord while He can be found, Jesus Christ will then stand as our Great Advocate, releasing us from our sins which we repented of before Him in our earthly life. If we have turned our back on the Lord, the judgement seat of God will condemn us with our sins, and we will then be separated forever from Him forever and ever. This is the time to seek the Lord! This is the time to repent of our sins, to turn our lives back to the One and only One that can save us from ourselves. The Messiah, Jesus Christ, offers us salvation fully and freely. Those who die in their sins, for them it will be too late! Do not turn away from the only true God that loves and cares for you! No other god sent anyone to die for you, let alone their Son, but the God of the heavens and earth did just that! He is more than several “good philosophies”, more than “good sayings”; He is the One that will bring you into a new life, and the promised fullness of life in this life, and in the next. He will heal your soul! For those who believe that once death comes, that is it, I tell you that is not it! There is a heaven and a hell. Which will you choose? Would you desire to have a Great Advocate by your side as your stand before the Father God, or would you rather the fires of hell be reaching out for you?

Romans 8:26

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans ~ Romans 8:26 Many days, many times, I have the words for prayer. It comes forth and flows fairly naturally as I converse with my Lord God. I hope in the God I worship to hear me, and to receive my words, as I pray in the name of Jesus and believe in Him, my intercessor. He is my Living Saviour, my High Priest, standing at the right hand of God the Father. But there are times when my pain has been so deep that my words will not come. There are times when my agony is so piercing that what words I may speak would not be enough. And so, in my deep, black moments, I come before my God and let my darkest emotions erupt in sounds that only He can understand. The Holy Spirit within me cries out in my stead, and He becomes my second intercessor. It is not that He is not there with me in all my prayers, but there are times wh...

Proverbs 18:2

Image
Fools find no pleasure in understanding but delight in sharing their own opinions ~ Proverbs 18:2 If we are going to understand something, we must fully digest it so that when we speak, we speak with wisdom. When we have only half truths in our mind, our words become empty and senseless. We then puff out air rather than understanding when we speak. A wise person will want to improve their mind through learning in various ways from the world around them. A person who delights in spiritual understanding will find peace and enjoyment in reading the Word of God on a daily basis, and in participating with God’s people in a learning and praising environment – the church! We come together in corporate worship with the understanding that not one of us knows all things, but we bend our mind and heart to learn what God has to show and say to us. A foolish person makes a show of what they “know” to please their friends or to save face in front of them. More often a wise person will hold t...

Isaiah 43:19

Image
Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert ~ Isaiah 43:19 When we meet a challenge, we are often found discouraged, lost, even hopeless. Nothing is working, everything seems to be against us. We do not know how to move forward, so we remain curled up in a ball. Then, a glimmer of light shines through! Hope is regained and movement is stirred within. Don’t we become excited when we begin to feel it? God moves like that. We cannot see our way around it, but He can and does. And He makes a way for us out of the calamity of our fears. It is the feeling of springtime after a long winter, or the smell of fresh cut grass. Life stirs within and we move and we see what God saw all the time – the answer to our dilemma. Our desert place becomes an oasis, and we can do what we are called to do. Something totally unexpected happens, something unheard of, but it begins in our life, and we feel the...
