Thought for the morning of Sat July 9, 2016

Verse: “Forget not all His benefits.” — ps 103:2
Thought: It is a delightful and profitable occupation to mark the hand of God in the lives of ancient saints, and to observe his goodness in delivering them, his mercy in pardoning them, and his faithfulness in keeping his covenant with them. But would it not be even more interesting and profitable for us to remark the hand of God in our own lives? Ought we not to look upon our own history as being at least as full of God, as full of his goodness and ..

Spirit Powered Ministry (Jul 9th)

Verse: The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.
— Isaiah 61:1 tniv
Thought: God's servants in every era, but especially today, are empowered by the Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit produces holy fruit in their lives (Gal. 5:22-23), shapes their hearts and guides their efforts toward ministry that conf..

Isaiah 55:8-9 (07-08-16)

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.— Isaiah 55:8-9 (NIV)

God Joined – Mark 10:9

Key Passage: “God has joined those two people together. So no person should separate them.”
— Mark 10:9 ERV (Read Full Text)
Key Thought: God has the power to make two people one. Marriage is not about a wedding, but about a man and a woman entering into a covenant relationship with God. God is the greater party in the covenant. The man and the woman give their highest allegiance and commitment to God when they marry. There will be times when their spouse will unfortunately disappoint them or let th..

Thought for the evening of Fri July 8, 2016

Verse: “Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.” — ps 25:5
Thought: When the believer has begun with trembling feet to walk in the way of the Lord, he asks to be still led onward like a little child upheld by its parent's helping hand, and he craves to be further instructed in the alphabet of truth. Experimental teaching is the burden of this prayer. David knew much, but he felt his ignorance, and desired to be still in the Lord&#..

Thought for the morning of Fri July 8, 2016

Verse: “Tell me I pray thee wherein thy great strength lieth.” — jud 16:6
Thought: Where lies the secret strength of faith? It lies in the food it feeds on; for faith studies what the promise is-an emanation of divine grace, an overflowing of the great heart of God; and faith says, “My God could not have given this promise, except from love and grace; therefore it is quite certain his Word will be fulfilled.” Then faith thinketh, “Who gave this promise?” It considereth not so much its greatness, as,..

God’s Spirit Will Be with God’s People, Forever!

Verse: “As for me,” God says, “this is my covenant with them: My Spirit that I've placed upon you and the words that I've given you to speak, they're not going to leave your mouths nor the mouths of your children nor the mouths of your grandchildren. You will keep repeating these words and won't ever stop.” God's orders.
— Isaiah 59:21 msg
Thought: The book of Isaiah furnishes so much language and imagery of the Messiah and the coming new covenant of God with his people. One..

Thought for the evening of Thu July 7, 2016

Verse: “When I passed by thee, I said unto thee, Live.” — eze 16:6
Thought: Saved one, consider gratefully this mandate of mercy. Note that this fiat of God is majestic. In our text, we perceive a sinner with nothing in him but sin, expecting nothing but wrath; but the eternal Lord passes by in his glory; he looks, he pauses, and he pronounces the solitary but royal word, “Live.” There speaks a God. Who but he could venture thus to deal with life and dispense it with a single syllable? Again, this f..

Thought for the morning of Thu July 7, 2016

Verse: “Brethren, pray for us.” — 1th 5:25
Thought: This one morning in the year we reserved to refresh the reader's memory upon the subject of prayer for ministers, and we do most earnestly implore every Christian household to grant the fervent request of the text first uttered by an apostle and now repeated by us. Brethren, our work is solemnly momentous, involving weal or woe to thousands; we treat with souls for God on eternal business, and our word is either a savour of life unto life, or ..
