Today's Verse : Deuteronomy 1:21

-/\/\-----------------------------------------------------------------
\ / TODAY'S VERSE from HEARTLIGHT --

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

January 21, 2008

VERSE:
See, the LORD your God has given you the land. Go up and take
possession of it as the LORD, the God of your fathers, told you. Do
not be afraid; do not be discouraged.
-- Deuteronomy 1:21

http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Deuteronomy+1:21

THOUGHT:
A word of encouragement is indispensable at the start of a new
journey, especially when the journey demands your leadership.
Joshua is no longer second chair. He is no longer the backup to
all-pro Moses. Now it is his turn to lead. The people he leads have
only known the leadership of the incomparable Moses. How will he
lead? He will lead trusting the promises of God and without fear or
discouragement! How is this possible? Because the real leader of
God's people hasn't really changed! God is still God. His word is
still true. His promises are still trustworthy. His might is still
all-powerful.

PRAYER:
O God, as I face increasing responsibilities and greater
challenges, remind me of your promises, allay my fears, strengthen
my resolve, and lead me by your will. May the victories in which I
participate always bring glory and honor to you. In the name of the
Lord Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.

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

I Trust in Your Unfailing Love, by Tom Norvell

Do these words from David ring true for you today?

O Lord, how long will you forget me? Forever? How long will you
look the other way?

How long must I struggle with anguish in my soul, with sorrow in my
heart every day?

How long will my enemy have the upper hand?

Turn and answer me, O Lord my God! Restore the sparkle to my eyes,
or I will die.

Don't let my enemies gloat, saying, 'We have defeated him!'

Don't let them rejoice at my downfall.

(Psalm 13:1-4 NLT)

Are you feeling forgotten by God? Do you find yourself wondering where
He is while you are in the midst of battle and struggle and hurt and
disappointment? Are you wishing God would do something to help, but not
sure your prayers are getting through?

That's apparently what David was feeling. Alone. Forgotten. Ignored.
Weak. Almost defeated. Constantly hassled by his enemies.

Those are not uncommon feelings, even for the strong of faith.
Sometimes life is like that. We experience attacks from all sides, and
it seems that trouble and distress is around every corner. During those
days of anxiety and sorrow, it is easy to fall into the trap of
believing that it will always be this way. We settle into the mindset
that life will never get any better. When these times continue for long
periods there is the potential to lose hope.

Those are dangerous times. Those are times when we must consider our
steps very carefully and wisely. Nothing would please our enemy more
than for us to lose hope, to give up, to accept defeat, and to lose the
joy found in the Lord. Like David, you may be almost there. If so, do
what David did.

That's the power of our faith!

In verse 4, David is dreading how his enemies will gloat and rejoice
over his defeat. Then, suddenly, as the psalmist often does in the
Psalms, the tone changes. He looks above his fears and throws himself
into the arms of the Lord.

But I trust in your unfailing love.

I will rejoice because you have rescued me.

I will sing to the Lord because he is good to me.

(Psalm 13:5-6)

We must do the same. When we sink low into the despair and hopelessness
of what seems certain defeat, we must look up to the Lord and say:

But I trust in your unfailing love. I will rejoice because you have
rescued me. I will sing to the Lord because he is good to me.

That's the power of our faith. That's a test of our faith. That's what
can happen when we draw near to God. If we bring it all to Him and
leave it there, through His grace and mercy He will enable us to sing
again. He will rescue us.

Here's another version of David's prayer:

Lord, my life is hard right now. Nothing is turning out like I
thought it would. Instead of victory, I'm experiencing defeat on
every side. It seems like the Enemy is winning all the battles. I
feel like a loser and I feel like my enemies see me as a loser. I'm
not sure how long I can go on like this. Sometimes, when it gets
really bad, I become afraid. I feel like You have left me here all
alone. But, I know that's not true, because I trust You. I know You
will never leave me. And I believe that one day I will again sing
and rejoice because You are good to me. I trust in Your unfailing
love.

Morning & Evening -- Genesis 4:2 and Psalms 119:37

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

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

Sunday, January 20, 2008

MORNING:

"Abel was a keeper of sheep."
-- Genesis 4:2

As a shepherd Abel sanctified his work to the glory of God, and offered
a sacrifice of blood upon his altar, and the Lord had respect unto Abel
and his offering. This early type of our Lord is exceedingly clear and
distinct. Like the first streak of light which tinges the east at
sunrise, it does not reveal everything, but it clearly manifests the
great fact that the sun is coming. As we see Abel, a shepherd and yet a
priest, offering a sacrifice of sweet smell unto God, we discern our
Lord, who brings before his Father a sacrifice to which Jehovah ever
hath respect. Abel was hated by his brother-hated without a cause; and
even so was the Saviour: the natural and carnal man hated the accepted
man in whom the Spirit of grace was found, and rested not until his
blood had been shed. Abel fell, and sprinkled his altar and sacrifice
with his own blood, and therein sets forth the Lord Jesus slain by the
enmity of man while serving as a priest before the Lord. "The good
Shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep." Let us weep over him as
we view him slain by the hatred of mankind, staining the horns of his
altar with his own blood. Abel's blood speaketh. "The Lord said unto
Cain, 'The voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the
ground.'" The blood of Jesus hath a mighty tongue, and the import of
its prevailing cry is not vengeance but mercy. It is precious beyond
all preciousness to stand at the altar of our good Shepherd! to see him
bleeding there as the slaughtered priest, and then to hear his blood
speaking peace to all his flock, peace in our conscience, peace between
Jew and Gentile, peace between man and his offended Maker, peace all
down the ages of eternity for blood-washed men. Abel is the first
shepherd in order of time, but our hearts shall ever place Jesus first
in order of excellence. Thou great Keeper of the sheep, we the people
of thy pasture bless thee with our whole hearts when we see thee slain
for us.

EVENING:

"Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou
me in thy way."
-- Psalms 119:37

There are divers kinds of vanity. The cap and bells of the fool, the
mirth of the world, the dance, the lyre, and the cup of the dissolute,
all these men know to be vanities; they wear upon their forefront their
proper name and title. Far more treacherous are those equally vain
things, the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches. A man
may follow vanity as truly in the counting-house as in the theatre. If
he be spending his life in amassing wealth, he passes his days in a
vain show. Unless we follow Christ, and make our God the great object
of life, we only differ in appearance from the most frivolous. It is
clear that there is much need of the first prayer of our text. "Quicken
thou me in thy way." The Psalmist confesses that he is dull, heavy,
lumpy, all but dead. Perhaps, dear reader, you feel the same. We are so
sluggish that the best motives cannot quicken us, apart from the Lord
himself. What! will not hell quicken me? Shall I think of sinners
perishing, and yet not be awakened? Will not heaven quicken me? Can I
think of the reward that awaiteth the righteous, and yet be cold? Will
not death quicken me? Can I think of dying, and standing before my God,
and yet be slothful in my Master's service? Will not Christ's love
constrain me? Can I think of his dear wounds, can I sit at the foot of
his cross, and not be stirred with fervency and zeal? It seems so! No
mere consideration can quicken us to zeal, but God himself must do it,
hence the cry, "Quicken thou me." The Psalmist breathes out his whole
soul in vehement pleadings: his body and his soul unite in prayer.
"Turn away mine eyes," says the body: "Quicken thou me," cries the
soul. This is a fit prayer for every day. O Lord, hear it in my case
this night.

My Utmost For His Highest : "Are You Fresh For Everything?"

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

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

January 20, 2008

ARE YOU FRESH FOR EVERYTHING?

Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of
God.

John 3:3

http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=joh+3:3&sr=1

Sometimes we are fresh for a prayer meeting but not fresh for
cleaning boots!

Being born again of the Spirit is an unmistakable work of God, as
mysterious as the wind, as surprising as God Himself. We do not know
where it begins, it is hidden away in the depths of our personal
life. Being born again from above is a perennial, perpetual and
eternal beginning; a freshness all the time in thinking and in
talking and in living, the continual surprise of the life of God.
Staleness is an indication of something out of joint with God - "I
must do this thing or it will never be done." That is the first sign
of staleness. Are we freshly born this minute or are we stale, raking
in our minds for something to do? Freshness does not come from
obedience but from the Holy Spirit; obedience keeps us in the light
as God is in the light.

Guard jealously your relationship to God. Jesus prayed "that they may
be one, even as we are one" - nothing between. Keep all the life
perennially open to Jesus Christ, don't pretend with Him. Are you
drawing your life from any other source than God Himself? If you are
depending upon anything but Him, you will never know when He is gone.

Being born of the Spirit means much more than we generally take it to
mean. It gives us a new vision and keeps us absolutely fresh for
everything by the perennial supply of the life of God.

Romans 5:1-5

Dear Father, giver of your Holy Spirit,

Thank you for justifying me through faith, so that now I have
peace with you through the Lord Jesus Christ.

How grateful I am that I have access to your grace! I rejoice in
the hope of sharing in your glory.

More than that, my God, I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake.
I know that suffering produces endurance, endurance produces
character, and character produces hope.

How I bless you for this wonderful hope that I have. It is a hope
that will never bring disappointment.

I know this because I have tasted your love. You have poured it
into my heart through the Holy Spirit which you have given me, as
well as to all your people.

By the authority of Christ and in his name I pray. Amen.

WJD! -- The Magnet of Grace -- Mark 1:32-33

The Magnet of Grace

That night, after the sun went down, the people brought many
sick people to Jesus. They also brought people that had
demons inside them. All the people in the town gathered at
the door of that house.

-- Mark 1:32-33 (ERV)

KEY THOUGHT:
When people see the power of Jesus to change a person's life, they are
drawn to him. As believers whose lives have been touched by Jesus, the
power of Jesus in our lives is just as powerful. People can be drawn to
the grace of our Lord when they see his power at work transforming us.
He asks us to be ready to share the hope that he has given us through
his power in our lives and to live in a way consistent with his
character and grace. Let's display and proclaim what his power has done
for us so that others will be drawn to him.

TODAY'S PRAYER:
O LORD God, my Abba Father, let the power, grace, and beauty of Jesus
be seen in my life so that others can come to know him. In Jesus' name
I pray. Amen.
