Thought For Today - February 7
Where is our boasting?

    "Thus saith the Lord, let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: but let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord which exercise loving kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the Lord." Jeremiah 9: 23,24.
    What are we boasting in this morning, my friends? Are we glorying in our high degree of intelligence; our great worldly wisdom; education, college degrees, or our position in life? Are we boasting in our youth, or in our physical beauty, or our health?
    You may be saying within yourself,  I am young yet, in perfect health, I have the world by the tail, but do you? Boast not thyself of tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth. Take heed therefore and consider: "I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them." Ecclesiastes 9:11,12
    Each of us need to stop and consider that all that we are, all that we have, all that we ever can hope to become has been bestowed upon us by our creator and heavenly father. Every good and perfect gift comes down from our father above, whether it be our eternal salvation through our Lord and savior Jesus Christ, or the gift of intelligence, or health, beauty, position in life, or great riches. It is God who gives us the power to get wealth. "That according as it is written, he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord." 1 Corinthians 1:31. "But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth." 2 Corinthians 17,18
    Friends, lets turn our eyes away from ourselves, and fix them upon our wonderful God, our Lord and savior Jesus Christ, and let all our boasting and glorying be in him.
    "Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? He retaineth not his anger forever, because he delighteth in mercy. He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depth of the sea." Micah 7:18,19.


WHEN WE HAVE ACCEPTED JESUS CHRIST AS OUR PERSONAL SAVIOUR WE ARE INDEED THE RICHEST PERSON IN THIS WORLD SYSTEM.. ACCORDING TO WORLDLY STANDARDS WE MAY SEEM VERY POOR

 Thought For Today - February 6
 My Daily Bread
By: Robert A. Searles

    Give me this day my daily bread so that my soul might find nourishment in thee, O God of my salvation, and that I might have to give to others, that they too might be fed. Except thou dost break the bread to me, I cannot feed the hungry. A person can receive nothing except it be given him from God. You have told us, dear Lord in your word, that as our days are, so shall our strength be. Each day the manna falls from Heaven upon your beloved own, and provision is made for our well being; therefore, dear Lord, we ask for strength that we might gather that which you have already provided for us.

    Your word O God is a banqueting table to which all who will hear your voice have been invited to come and dine. A banqueting table filled with the finest cuisine of heaven; the bread of life; the lamb of God; the heavenly mana, the Lord Jesus Christ who said that if we eat of his flesh and drink his blood we shall never hunger and never thirst. He is at the head of the table with his arms outstretched and calling to the multitudes, come and dine.  Sinner, will you believe and receive Christ as your Lord and Savior today and partake of the bread of Life.?

    Christian friend and brother and sister, will you leave the scraps of the world to the hogs and come to your father's table and eat like a king's son. God has promised that he will supply us with daily bread, but our daily bread is found within the pages of his holy word. We must gather and eat by reading and prayer and meditation in a disciplined time and manner. Then the Holy Spirit will feed us. Then we will have enough for ourselves and others, and baskets full left over.

Thought For Today - February 5 - Flourish Like The Palm Tree !

Thought For Today -  February 5
 Flourish like the Palm Tree
By: Robert A. Searles

    "The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing; to shew that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him." Psalm92: 12-14.

    When we have cast off our filthy rags of self righteousness and put on the righteousness of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, we are declared righteous before God and this promise holds true for us: that we who have had the righteousness of Jesus Christ imputed to us shall flourish like the palm tree, and we are planted in the house of the Lord, and no man is able to pluck us out of his hand. We sit together in heavenly places with Christ Jesus, and we are joint heirs of the inheritance of God's kingdom with Christ.

You may have the righteousness of Jesus Christ imputed to you simply for the asking. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. Confess and agree with God that you are a sinner and believe in your heart that Christ shed his blood to pay your sin debt. He died and was buried according to the scripture, and the third day he was raised from the dead according to the scripture for our justification. By faith receive this free gift of God and you too shall flourish like the palm tree, and grow like the cedars of Lebanon, and flourish in the courts of our God.

Thought For Today - February 4
Arise Early!

     I will arise early in the morning to seek thy face, O Lord God of my salvation. "As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?" Psalm 42: 1,2. O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; to see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. Because thy loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee. Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name. My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips: When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches." Psalm 63: 1-6.
    Just a little talk with Jesus before each day begins.
Just a little talk with Jesus, confessing all our sins. Drawing from his power, abiding in his love, makes us more than conquerors.

 Thought For Today - February 3
  How Could I Know?


    If I had never been ill, I could not have experienced for myself the healing power of God. If I had never been troubled, I would never have learned first hand that God can deliver from all troubles. If I had never been afraid, I would not have known that God is truly my refuge and my high tower. If I had never been lonely, I would not know the comfort of the Holy Spirit's presence.
    My praise shall be to God who has greatly healed both my soul and my body and has delivered me from many great and sore troubles. He has been my strength and refuge in times of fear and great difficulty, and my unfailing companion in times of loneliness.. Therefore, my lips shall speak his praise and my heart render thanks for all that he has done and will do for me. "Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shall quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth. Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side. I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God, unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel. My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed. My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt." Psalm 71: 20-24.

Thought For Today - February 2 - Where Is Safety ?

 

 Thought For Today - February 2
 Where is Safety?
By: Robert A. Searles

    The safest place to be is in the center of the will of God. To dwell in the secret place of the most high, and abide under the shadow of the almighty. There is no greater refuge or fortress than our blessed savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. If we put our trust completely in him, he is faithful and just to forgive all our sins, and to deliver us from all unrighteousness.

    Our enemy, Satan, is seeking to devour us and ruin our testimony, he sets traps for us, but when we hide beneath the "wings", as it were ,of our heavenly father, we are protected, and the word of God is our shield and buckler.

    Many are lost all around us, and many are caught in Satan's traps, we see destruction all around us, but from the battlements of heaven, as it were, : because we are in the high tower of our Lord's habitation, no evil can befall us, and no plague come nigh our dwelling, unless God so wills it for reasons that we know nothing about.

    Our body guards are the angels, and they are under the strict orders of our heavenly father to protect us and watch for our welfare. One cry or one whimper directed to God from one of God's children in distress is enough to set the whole host of heaven in an uproar, and set everything in motion for our rescue.

    "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day,; nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. Because thou has made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most high, thy habitation; there shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder, the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honor him. With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation" Psalm 91.

    If we want to be sure and confident of God's protection from the evils that are in the world, and all around us, we must change our place of residence from the world, to the secret place of the most high.

Thought For Today - February 1 - Warmed By The Enemy's Fire

 Thought For Today -February 1
 Warmed By The Enemy's Fire

    On the night when Jesus was arrested, according to the gospel of Luke chapter 22:54-57,"Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off. And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them. But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, this man was also with him. And he denied him, saying, woman, I know him not."
    When the world earnestly looks upon us as Christians, what will they see? Will they see us following Christ afar off, with a weak testimony, our lives filled with the fears and anxieties of this life, fearful of what men or circumstances can do to us? Do they see us sitting down with them at their fire, willing to be charmed and warmed by the world's delights, its' things, and its' philosophy? Will they see us deny him who would not, and could not deny us, but gave himself fully for us?
    When the cock crowed, as Jesus had predicted, Peter looked into the eyes of Jesus, and realizing what he had done, went out and wept bitterly. This is repentance. If we are guilty of this very thing, may God help us to weep bitterly within our souls and come to repentance.
