My soul Cries Out for God

My Soul Cries Out For God!
By: Robert A. Searles

    My soul cries out for God!  I need thee, Oh how I need thee, every hour I need thee.  When I do not hear from God,  I sink in the mire of despair and   am despondent.  God has promised that he will never  leave me, nor forsake me, so that I may boldly say, the lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

     If I am cut off from God's fellowship it may be that there is  still sin in my life.  I may be neglecting to eat the bread of life, the word of God.  I may have bitter envying and strife in my heart.  I may have ought against my brother that needs to be reconciled.  Perhaps I had opportunity to do good, and did it not.  I may be insulting God by being anxious and worrisome and not trusting God for my daily needs.  Whatever the sin may be, greater is the remedy, for "where sin abounds, grace does much more abound." and "If we will confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

     Can I doubt the care of God for  me for today and tomorrow when he has kept me and provided for me through all these years?  If God has given his best, the Lord Jesus Christ to be my Savior, will he not with him also give me all things freely to enjoy?

     Yes! He will! And he does, and what he will and has done for me, my Christian brother or sister, he will do for you also if you will trust him.

Many times we sing hymns and songs, but do not really listen and meditate upon the words

Please pay close attention to the words of this hymn. 

 

All who are in bondage and the prisoner of sin, call upon the Lord and he will deliver you.

The Prisoner's Prayer

"I cried unto the Lord with my voice; with my voice unto the Lord did I make my supplication. I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble. When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.
I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul. I cried unto thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living. Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I. Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me." Psalm 142 (KJV) Bible

While we Wait!

By: Robert A Searles

While we await the sure return of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ we are told to: -"Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feeble minded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.
  See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
 Rejoice evermore.   Pray without ceasing.   In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
  Quench not the Spirit.  Despise not prophesyings.   Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.  Abstain from all appearance of evil.
  And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.   Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. 1 Thessolonians 5: 14-

Why Be Discouraged?

Why Be Discouraged?

By: Robert A. Searles

     Are you cast down this morning and depressed?  Are you weary and discouraged?  Why should Christians be discouraged when we have such a great inheritance in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who gave himself for us so that we might have and enjoy life, and have it more abundantly?

     We are alive; we have the hope and promise of eternal life with God in paradise; we live in America, where thus far, we are free to worship as we please; we have a wonderful Savior who is our advocate in heaven; we have food, clothing, and shelter, and many creature comforts to make our lives easier.  Even in times of suffering  and great loss and grief, we have the promises of God's presence, his comfort and his grace to see us through.

     "Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me?  Hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my  God." Psalm 43:5 (KJV) Bible.

     This is the day that the Lord hath made.  Rejoice and be glad in it. Rejoice I say in the Lord.

The God Fearing Family

The God Fearing Family

Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his ways. 2  For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee. 3  Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table. 4  Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord. 5  The Lord shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life. 6  Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel. Psalm 128 KJV) Bible

Pray For One Another

Pray for One Another

      To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.  I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day>" 2 Timothy 1: 2, 3 (KJV) Bible.

     How should we pray for one another?  We ought to pray for each other as Paul prayed for Timothy  -that God would give to our beloved wife, husband, children, parents, or friends, - grace, mercy, and peace.  Grace - the unearned gifts from God, God's unmeritred favor, underserved forgiveness and pardon, unearned, and undeserved eternal, everlasting life, and undeserved provision for their moment by moment needs.

     Mercy - God's infinite compassion for us, that is, God not pouring out his wrath and judgments on us when he would be justified and righteous in so doing, also, God's willingness to come more than half way to meet and greet the runaway prodigal and rebellious child, and welcome him back into the family .

     Peace - That peace that only God can give to comfort our hearts when we are in the center of his will, a sense of well being, and knowing that everything is all right in our  Father's house, and so it is  well with us who are his children

     May we learn to pray for one another that God would grant his grace, mercy, and peace, even as Paul prayed for Timothy.
