Today's Verse : 1 Peter 1:18-19

--\/------------------------------------------------------------------

January 18, 2008

VERSE:
For you know that it was not with perishable things such as
silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life
handed down to you from your forefathers, but with the precious
blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.
-- 1 Peter 1:18-19

http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=1+Peter+1:18-19

THOUGHT:
A: "How much did it cost?" B: "What? This old thing? This sack
of bones and blood and brain? This heart and mind and soul that
live inside?" A: "Yeah! How much did it cost?" B: "It cost the
greatest gift of heaven to redeem it and make me whole. That's how
much God thinks of me. Incredible, isn't it?!"

PRAYER:
Father, I am bewildered, humbled, and thrilled to know that you
value me so highly. Forgive me for cheapening myself with sin, for
dwelling on things that are petty, and for chasing after things
that are worthless. Thank you for loving me so. By your Spirit,
please help me live up to the value you see in me and aspire to the
lofty life you call me to live. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Mustard Seed Thoughts: Are you prepared?

Are you prepared?

By: Ron Edmondson Mustard Seed Thoughts

Again He asked, "What shall I compare the kingdom of God to?" Luke 13:20 NIV

Jesus didn't know how to put it into terms they could understand. He wanted to. It was just to wonderful for words.

Have you ever wanted to describe something to someone, but you just couldn't come up with the right description. Anything you said would just pale in comparison to the real experience of being there. Christ faced this obstacle when He was asked about God's kingdom.

The English language can only accomplish so much! I remember telling my son about the ocean once before he saw it for the first time. I love the beach. There is something about watching the waves come and go that really gets my attention. I could sit for hours, patiently examining each toss of the tide.

I had prepared my son the best that I could. I wanted him to know the pleasure I had received from my ocean vacations. How, though, do you capture that first ocean experience into a few sent ences?

We drove many hours, much of the time with my son asleep, before we reached the shore. I made him close his eyes as we parked the car. I led him down a path until we were right in the middle of the sandy beach, and then I told him to open his eyes. "Wow!" was his first word. He had the exact reaction I expected....he didn't know what to say.

Heaven will be that way. Jesus couldn't explain it to us now if we wanted Him to. We will just have to be there! It is just too special for words to capture.

And, Jesus can't wait until we are able to come home!

=========================== TODAY'S ARTICLE ==========================

Flexible Trees, by Mike Barres

We have built a home on some property that is densely wooded. The trees
are mature trees and most of them are very tall. When the wind blows,
you can see and hear the trees sway. Watching these trees through the
changing seasons has reminded me of a few truths.

The Lord built a lot of flexibility in to those trees. The reason that
they don't break is because they are flexible. We must be flexible with
the storms and changes of life, too. Our ability to survive is because
of Jesus, who gives us strength to face any circumstance. Listen to how
Paul described his ability to be flexible:

I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and
in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both
to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ
who strengthens me (Philippians 4:12-13 NKJV).

I also noticed that during the winter, after most of the leaves have
fallen off, there are a few trees that still have growth on them. These
trees are affected by the wind the most. We may naively think that if
we are mature Christians, with growth, that storms won't come our way.
The devil may well attack mature Christians, because they are a threat
to him. The good news is that we will overcome him. John reassured
early Christians, "You are of God, little children, and have overcome
them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world"
(1 John 4:4 NKJV).

They have deep roots!

One of the reasons that these trees don't topple over is that they have
deep roots. We must have deep roots in God's Word to be able to
withstand the storms of life. Remember how Jesus used the Word of God
to overcome the temptation that the devil brought His way (Matthew
4:1-11).

Another reason that the trees don't topple over is that their root
systems are intertwined with the roots of other trees. Our fellowship
with other Christians will strengthen us. The Holy Spirit challenges us
with these words:

And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good
works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is
the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more
as you see the Day approaching (Hebrews 10:24-25).

Let's be sure that we are standing solidly on the Rock, who is Jesus
Christ, so that we can withstand the storms of life. Jesus said:

"Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I
will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and
the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on
that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.
But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them,
will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the
rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on
that house; and it fell. And great was its fall" (Matthew 7:24-27).

Morning & Evening -- Revelation 14:1 and 2 Samuel 11:2

-/\/\-----------------------------------------------------------------
\ / Charles Spurgeon's MORNING & EVENING

http://www.heartlight.org/
--\/------------------------------------------------------------------

Thursday, January 17, 2008

MORNING:

"And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion."
-- Revelation 14:1

The apostle John was privileged to look within the gates of heaven, and
in describing what he saw, he begins by saying, "I looked, and, lo, a
Lamb!" This teaches us that the chief object of contemplation in the
heavenly state is "the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sins of the
world." Nothing else attracted the apostle's attention so much as the
person of that Divine Being, who hath redeemed us by his blood. He is
the theme of the songs of all glorified spirits and holy angels.
Christian, here is joy for thee; thou hast looked, and thou hast seen
the Lamb. Through thy tears thine eyes have seen the Lamb of God taking
away thy sins. Rejoice, then. In a little while, when thine eyes shall
have been wiped from tears, thou wilt see the same Lamb exalted on his
throne. It is the joy of thy heart to hold daily fellowship with Jesus;
thou shalt have the same joy to a higher degree in heaven; thou shalt
enjoy the constant vision of his presence; thou shalt dwell with him
for ever. "I looked, and, lo, a Lamb!" Why, that Lamb is heaven itself;
for as good Rutherford says, "Heaven and Christ are the same thing;" to
be with Christ is to be in heaven, and to be in heaven is to be with
Christ. That prisoner of the Lord very sweetly writes in one of his
glowing letters-"O my Lord Jesus Christ, if I could be in heaven
without thee, it would be a hell; and if I could be in hell, and have
thee still, it would be a heaven to me, for thou art all the heaven I
want." It is true, is it not, Christian? Does not thy soul say so?

"Not all the harps above
Can make a heavenly place,
If God his residence remove,
Or but conceal his face."

All thou needest to make thee blessed, supremely blessed, is "to be
with Christ."

EVENING:

"And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from
off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king's house."
-- 2 Samuel 11:2

At that hour David saw Bathsheba. We are never out of the reach of
temptation. Both at home and abroad we are liable to meet with
allurements to evil; the morning opens with peril, and the shades of
evening find us still in jeopardy. They are well kept whom God keeps,
but woe unto those who go forth into the world, or even dare to walk
their own house unarmed. Those who think themselves secure are more
exposed to danger than any others. The armour-bearer of Sin is
Self-confidence.

David should have been engaged in fighting the Lord's battles, instead
of which he tarried at Jerusalem, and gave himself up to luxurious
repose, for he arose from his bed at eventide. Idleness and luxury are
the devil's jackals, and find him abundant prey. In stagnant waters
noxious creatures swarm, and neglected soil soon yields a dense tangle
of weeds and briars. Oh for the constraining love of Jesus to keep us
active and useful! When I see the King of Israel sluggishly leaving his
couch at the close of the day, and falling at once into temptation, let
me take warning, and set holy watchfulness to guard the door.

Is it possible that the king had mounted his housetop for retirement
and devotion? If so, what a caution is given us to count no place,
however secret, a sanctuary from sin! While our hearts are so like a
tinder-box, and sparks so plentiful, we had need use all diligence in
all places to prevent a blaze. Satan can climb housetops, and enter
closets, and even if we could shut out that foul fiend, our own
corruptions are enough to work our ruin unless grace prevent. Reader,
beware of evening temptations. Be not secure. The sun is down but sin
is up. We need a watchman for the night as well as a guardian for the
day. O blessed Spirit, keep us from all evil this night. Amen.

My Utmost For His Highest : "The Vocation Of The Natural Life"

-/\/\-----------------------------------------------------------------
\ / MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST --

http://www.heartlight.org/
--\/------------------------------------------------------------------

January 17, 2008

THE VOCATION OF THE NATURAL LIFE

But when it pleased God ... to reveal His Son in me ...

Galatians 1:15-16

http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=ga+1:15-16&sr=1

The call of God is not a call to any particular service; my
interpretation of it may be because contact with the nature of God
has made me realize what I would like to do for Him. The call of God
is essentially expressive of His nature; service is the outcome of
what is fitted to my nature. The vocation of the natural life is
stated by the apostle Paul - "When it pleased God to reveal His Son
in me that I might preach Him" (i.e., sacramentally express ) "among
the Gentiles."

Service is the overflow of superabounding devotion; but, profoundly
speaking, there is no call to that, it is my own little actual bit
and is the echo of my identification with the nature of God. Service
is the natural part of my life. God gets me into a relationship with
Himself whereby I understand His call, then I do things out of sheer
love for Him on my own account. To serve God is the deliberate
love-gift of a nature that has heard the call of God. Service is
expressive of that which is fitted to my nature: God's call is
expressive of His nature; consequently when I receive His nature and
hear His call, the voice of the Divine nature sounds in both and the
two work together. The Son of God reveals Himself in me, and I serve
Him in the ordinary ways of life out of devotion to Him.

THE SEED OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

Romans 4:13-16

http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Romans+4:13-16

Dear Father, father of the faithful,

Thank you for the marvelous promise made to Abraham and his seed,
that they should inherit the world. Thank you that it depends on
faith, so that the promise may rest on grace and be guaranteed to
all his descendants, not only those who are adherents of the law
but to everyone who shares the faith of Abraham, who is father of
us all.

Praise be to you, beneficent God, that I can be a descendant of
Abraham, not by being born in his lineage but by being born from
above by his kind of faith, the life-giving seed that makes me one
of his children.

Thank you that this is possible through Christ. In the name of
Jesus. Amen.

Power over Evil

Jesus said strongly, "Be quiet! Come out of the man!" The
evil spirit made the man shake. Then the spirit made a loud
noise and came out of the man.

-- Mark 1:25-26 (ERV)

KEY THOUGHT:
Jesus had power over the evil one and the vile power he seeks to wield.
He defeated him during the temptation in the wilderness. He defeated
him in every encounter during his life. Most gloriously, he defeated
him in the place of Satan's greatest power -- death. Jesus' victory
over Satan and death will be most gloriously realized when he comes
again in glory with victory for all of his disciples.

TODAY'S PRAYER:
O LORD, God Almighty, the Sovereign God of Israel, thank you for giving
me victory through Jesus over Satan, sin, and death. I praise you for
your grace that has saved me. I praise you for your Spirit that
indwells in me and gives me power. I praise you for the coming glorious
return in which I will share. To you belongs all glory and honor, now
and forevermore, in the name of your Son, Jesus, Amen.
