Thought for the evening of Tue July 5, 2016

Verse: “Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength.” — isa 26:4
Thought: Seeing that we have such a God to trust to, let us rest upon him with all our weight; let us resolutely drive out all unbelief, and endeavour to get rid of doubts and fears, which so much mar our comfort; since there is no excuse for fear where God is the foundation of our trust. A loving parent would be sorely grieved if his child could not trust him; and how ungenerous, how unkind is our co..

Everlasting Harvest (Jul 5th)

Verse: Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit.
— Galatians 6:8 nlt
Thought: We have to make a choice. There are only two choices. We will either live out of our sinful nature or we will live to honor and please the Spirit of God within us. To do the first we need to do nothing — we will live out of our sinful nature by default, no choice or surre..

Hard-Heartedness – Mark 10:5

Key Passage: Jesus said, “Moses wrote that command for you because you refused to accept God's teaching.”
— Mark 10:5 ERV (Read Full Text)
Key Thought: What Moses did in allowing the children of Israel a legal means of divorce (see verses 1-4 or yesterday's WJD!) was done only as a concession. It was not God's original plan. It was not what was best for the people involved. It was allowed only because of the hard hearts of the people who wouldn't honor their vows to each other an..

Thought for the morning of Mon July 4, 2016

Verse: “Sanctify them through thy truth.” — joh 17:17
Thought: Sanctification begins in regeneration. The Spirit of God infuses into man that new living principle by which he becomes “a new creature” in Christ Jesus. This work, which begins in the new birth, is carried on in two ways-mortification, whereby the lusts of the flesh are subdued and kept under; and vivification, by which the life which God has put within us is made to be a well of water springing up unto everlasting life. This is carried..

Verse: “He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.” — ps 24:4
Thought: Outward practical holiness is a very precious mark of grace. It is to be feared that many professors have perverted the doctrine of justification by faith in such a way as to treat good works with contempt; if so, they will receive everlasting contempt at the last great day. If our hands are not clean, let us wash them in Jesus' precious blood, and so let u..

Restore that Person Gently (Jul 4th)

Verse: Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted.
— Galatians 6:1 tniv
Thought: Spiritual people are those who live under the influence of the Holy Spirit (Gal. 5:25) and then naturally produce the Spirit's fruit in their lives (Gal. 5:22-23). When someone is caught in a sin, then these spiritual people should help restore them back to Jesus and the life of Jesus. But they a..

Thought for the evening of Sun July 3, 2016

Verse: “If we suffer, we shall also reign with him.” — 2ti 2:12
Thought: We must not imagine that we are suffering for Christ, and with Christ, if we are not in Christ. Beloved friend, are you trusting to Jesus only? If not, whatever you may have to mourn over on earth, you are not “suffering with Christ,” and have no hope of reigning with him in heaven. Neither are we to conclude that all a Christian's sufferings are sufferings with Christ, for it is essential that he be called by God to suffe..

Moses – Mark 10:3-4

Key Passage: Jesus answered, “What did Moses command you to do?” The Pharisees said, “Moses allowed a man to divorce his wife by writing a certificate of divorce.”
— Mark 10:3-4 ERV (Read Full Text)
Key Thought: In this Scripture, the Pharisees are able to correctly tell Jesus what Moses said about divorce. In the subsequent verses, Jesus confronts the Pharisees with the truth revealed in their question; they were missing God's central principle about marriage. It is easy to quote Scripture: li..

Verse: “The ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven wellfavoured and fat kine.” — ge 41:4
Thought: Pharaoh's dream has too often been my waking experience. My days of sloth have ruinously destroyed all that I had achieved in times of zealous industry; my seasons of coldness have frozen all the genial glow of my periods of fervency and enthusiasm; and my fits of worldliness have thrown me back from my advances in the divine life. I had need to beware of lean prayers, lean praises,..
