The One, True, Living God is my Abba Father & Jesus Christ is all I need. Without Him I am nothing. He formed me, loved me & made life worth living. 🙇♀️🙌🙏✝️
These are the days of Ezekiel
The dry bones becoming as flesh
& these are the days of Your servant David
Rebuilding a temple of praise.
These are the days of the harvest,
The fields are as white in Your world
& we’re the labourers in Your vineyard,
Declaring the word of the Lord!
“Remove far from me falsehood and lying.”
~Proverbs 30:8
“Do not forsake me, O LORD!”
~Psalm 38:21
Here we have two great lessons—what to deprecate and what to supplicate. The happiest state of a Christian is the holiest state. Just as there is the most heat nearest to the sun, so there is the most happiness closest to Christ. No Christian enjoys comfort when his eyes are fixed on falsehood—he finds no satisfaction unless his soul is quickened in the ways of God.
The world may find happiness elsewhere, but he cannot. I do not blame ungodly men for rushing to their pleasures. Why should I? Let them have their fill. That is all they have to enjoy. A converted wife who despaired of her husband was always very kind to him, for she said, "I fear that this is the only world in which he will be happy, and therefore I have made up my mind to make him as happy as I can in it." Christians must seek their delights in a higher sphere than the tasteless trifles or sinful enjoyments of the world. Empty pursuits are dangerous to renewed souls.
We have heard of a philosopher who, while he looked up to the stars, fell into a pit; but how deeply do they fall who look down. Their fall is fatal. No Christian is safe when his soul is lazy, and his God is far from him. Every Christian is always safe as to the great matter of his standing in Christ, but he is not safe as regards his experience in holiness and communion with Jesus in this life.
Satan does not often attack a Christian who is living near to God. It is when the Christian departs from God, becomes spiritually starved, and tries to feed on lies that the devil discovers his moment of advantage. He may sometimes stand foot to foot with the child of God who is active in his Master's service, but the battle is generally brief. He who slips as he goes down into the Valley of Humiliation will find that with every false step he invites the devil's attack. O for grace to walk humbly with our God!
~C.H. Spurgeon
Whatever you're facing today, remember: ✨ God is with you. ✨ He is working in you. ✨ He is preparing you for what lies ahead.
Walk forward in faith, not fear.
"He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion." 💖
For the wages of sin is death,
but
the gift of God is
eternal life
in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:23 (NIV)
Jesus offers you His gift — eternal life, freely given to all who simply trust His promise and say yes.
