Today's Verse : 1 John 4:15

-/\/\-----------------------------------------------------------------
\ / TODAY'S VERSE from HEARTLIGHT -- http://www.heartlight.org/
--\/------------------------------------------------------------------

February 8, 2009

VERSE:
If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives
in him and he in God.
-- 1 John 4:15
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=1+John+4:15

THOUGHT:
"Jesus is the Son of God." Six simple words. However, they are
much more than simple words; they are the doorway that opens our
hearts to God. So each day as we confess Jesus as God's Son, we
also consciously and intentionally welcome God into our hearts. The
Father lives in the person who confesses the Son!

PRAYER:
Father, I want to live my life and center my heart in you. I
gladly confess that Jesus is the Son of God, my Lord, and my
Savior. I praise and thank you in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

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

Winter Gardening, by Lisa Mikitarian

A temperate day in the middle of winter beckoned. I ventured outside
with only a light sweater -- no gardening gloves. The sky was clear
above me as I moved along our deck to the flower pots that just a few
months ago had held vivid, flowering geraniums, and begonias, and
petunias. Now only the skeletons stood, the remnants -- brown and
brittle.

I pulled one dead geranium from a terra cotta pot and then another. I
ended up clearing all the pots -- not really having intended to, but I
liked the results and so moved to the planter boxes surrounding the
back deck. Then I went to the shed and picked the hoe and the pruners
off the wall and on my way back to the beds, trimmed back the indigo
and oregano in the miniature herb garden. By the time I was done with
all the pots, beds, and boxes, my hamstrings were tight and my
fingernails were dirty, but what a sense of satisfaction.

The tilled dirt looked dark and rich and ready for spring planting.
Some years this chore doesn't get done until the moment I'm ready to
replant in April. When this happens, there's no period of time that
could be called, "ready and waiting." What a shame because there is
something beautiful in "ready and waiting." There's something beautiful
about clearing out the clutter -- the ugly stuff, the stuff that isn't
serving a purpose -- and being left with what is clean and ready and
waiting. We may have less, but here's a great example of when "less is
more."

While I was admiring my debris-free planter boxes, the evergreens
suddenly became noticeable. These plants, while not "showy" in the
petunia sense, maintain their color in spite of seasonal changes around
them. "I want to be an evergreen," I thought, looking at my dwarf fir,
"steady and lovely no matter the circumstances swirling around me."

And what is of ultimate lasting value?

I also noticed how just one evergreen, whether a boxwood or a juniper
or a fir, kept an entire planter box from looking barren. This was
God's reminder that it doesn't take much for life to be pleasing and
winsome, even joyful. It just takes something of lasting value to be
our focus.

And what is of ultimate lasting value? The Ever-Loving, Ever-Gracious,
Ever-Faithful Savior planted in a ready and waiting heart -- more than
evergreen, He is Everlasting.

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting
God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired
or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom (Isaiah 40:30
TNIV).

Winter gardening has its perks.

Morning & Evening -- Micah 2:10 and Revelation 11:12

-/\/\-----------------------------------------------------------------
\ / Charles Spurgeon's MORNING & EVENING http://www.heartlight.org/
--\/------------------------------------------------------------------

Saturday, February 7, 2009

MORNING:

"Arise, and depart."
-- Micah 2:10

The hour is approaching when the message will come to us, as it comes
to all-"Arise, and go forth from the home in which thou hast dwelt,
from the city in which thou hast done thy business, from thy family,
from thy friends. Arise, and take thy last journey." And what know we
of the journey? And what know we of the country to which we are bound?
A little we have read thereof, and somewhat has been revealed to us by
the Spirit; but how little do we know of the realms of the future! We
know that there is a black and stormy river called "Death." God bids us
cross it, promising to be with us. And, after death, what cometh? What
wonder-world will open upon our astonished sight? What scene of glory
will be unfolded to our view? No traveller has ever returned to tell.
But we know enough of the heavenly land to make us welcome our summons
thither with joy and gladness. The journey of death may be dark, but we
may go forth on it fearlessly, knowing that God is with us as we walk
through the gloomy valley, and therefore we need fear no evil. We shall
be departing from all we have known and loved here, but we shall be
going to our Father's house-to our Father's home, where Jesus is-to
that royal "city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is
God." This shall be our last removal, to dwell for ever with him we
love, in the midst of his people, in the presence of God. Christian,
meditate much on heaven, it will help thee to press on, and to forget
the toil of the way. This vale of tears is but the pathway to the
better country: this world of woe is but the stepping-stone to a world
of bliss.

"Prepare us, Lord, by grace divine,
For thy bright courts on high;
Then bid our spirits rise, and join
The chorus of the sky."

EVENING:

"And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them,
Come up hither."
-- Revelation 11:12

Without considering these words in their prophetical connection, let us
regard them as the invitation of our great Forerunner to his sanctified
people. In due time there shall be heard "a great voice from heaven" to
every believer, saying, "Come up hither." This should be to the saints
the subject of joyful anticipation. Instead of dreading the time when
we shall leave this world to go unto the Father, we should be panting
for the hour of our emancipation. Our song should be-

"My heart is with him on his throne,
And ill can brook delay;
Each moment listening for the voice,
'Rise up and come away.'"

We are not called down to the grave, but up to the skies. Our
heaven-born spirits should long for their native air. Yet should the
celestial summons be the object of patient waiting. Our God knows best
when to bid us "Come up thither." We must not wish to antedate the
period of our departure. I know that strong love will make us cry,

"O Lord of Hosts, the waves divide,
And land us all in heaven;"

but patience must have her perfect work. God ordains with accurate
wisdom the most fitting time for the redeemed to abide below. Surely,
if there could be regrets in heaven, the saints might mourn that they
did not live longer here to do more good. Oh, for more sheaves for my
Lord's garner! more jewels for his crown! But how, unless there be more
work? True, there is the other side of it, that, living so briefly, our
sins are the fewer; but oh! when we are fully serving God, and he is
giving us to scatter precious seed, and reap a hundredfold, we would
even say it is well for us to abide where we are. Whether our Master
shall say "go," or "stay," let us be equally well pleased so long as he
indulges us with his presence.

My Utmost For His Highest : "The Discipline Of Dejection"

-/\/\-----------------------------------------------------------------
\ / MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST -- http://www.heartlight.org/
--\/------------------------------------------------------------------

February 7, 2009

THE DISCIPLINE OF DEJECTION

But we trusted ... and beside all this, to-day is the
third day ...

Luke 24:21
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=lu+24:21&sr=1

Every fact that the disciples stated was right; but the inferences
they drew from those facts were wrong. Anything that savours of
dejection spiritually is always wrong. If depression and oppression
visit me, I am to blame; God is not, nor is anyone else. Dejection
springs from one of two sources - I have either satisfied a lust or I
have not. Lust means - I must have it at once. Spiritual lust makes
me demand an answer from God, instead of seeking God Who gives the
answer. What have I been trusting God would do? And to-day - the
immediate present - is the third day, and He has not done it;
therefore I imagine I am justified in being dejected and in blaming
God. Whenever the insistence is on the point that God answers prayer,
we are off the track. The meaning of prayer is that we get hold of
God, not of the answer. It is impossible to be well physically and to
be dejected. Dejection is a sign of sickness, and the same thing is
true spiritually. Dejection spiritually is wrong, and we are always
to blame for it.

We look for visions from heaven, for earthquakes and thunders of
God's power (the fact that we are dejected proves that we do), and we
never dream that all the time God is in the commonplace things and
people around us. If we will do the duty that lies nearest, we shall
see Him. One of the most amazing revelations of God comes when we
learn that it is in the commonplace things that the Deity of Jesus
Christ is realized.

GOD'S SOVEREIGN CHOICE

Romans 9:19-20
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Romans+9:19-20

Dear Father,

All who are descended from Israel do not belong to Israel, nor are
men counted as Abraham's children by mere physical descent.

You, O Sovereign Lord, have chosen, according to your own desire
and purpose, those you want to continue your work in the world.

Thank you, dear Father, that your choice and mercy has reached to
me. Thank you for all that you are doing in my life. Thank you for
teaching me to love the descendants of Israel by the flesh. May my
share in their inheritance cause even one of them to turn to Jesus
Christ in saving faith and give thanks to you.

In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.

In Need of God

"What great blessings there are for the people that know they
have spiritual needs! The kingdom of heaven belongs to them."

-- Matthew 5:3 (ERV)

KEY THOUGHT:
The Kingdom family is made up of people who know they have deep
spiritual needs. When we come into the presence of God, we are awed
into a profound sense of humility in his presence as well as a deep
conviction of our lack of holiness and character before his majesty.
While we deeply want to be like our Father, we recognize that our
greatest sacrifice and efforts to live Godly lives cannot make us
worthy to approach God. Yet God urges us to come to him. So we come,
but with humility and thanksgiving, knowing that it is only by his
grace and Jesus' gift that we can come.

TODAY'S PRAYER:
Holy and majestic God, I come to you, unworthy to even speak in your
presence, yet you graciously welcome me as your child. Thank you for
the many ways you have blessed me and filled my life with joy, meaning,
and hope. All that I have that is good has come because of your
blessing. Your strength and mercy have given me the ability to face the
difficulties and tragedies of my life. My hopes and dreams are in your
hands. Thank you for caring for me. In the precious name of Jesus I
pray. Amen.
