No Blank Pages

Thought For Today -  April 4
No Blank Pages  -  By: Robert A. Searles
     Each new day is a page in the story of our life.  God forbid that there should be one page left blank on which God does not receive honor and praise and glory.
 “This is the day which the Lord hath made, let us therefore rejoice and be glad in it.”  

Give God the glory, for great things he hath done.  Without him we could do nothing.  With him we can accomplish great things.  We are indeed more than conquerors through him who loved us.  Today let us be grateful for God's kindness and mercies.
 Today let us sing forth his praise.  Oh Lord help us by your grace to love you more and worship you more.  Help us to grow in wisdom and the knowledge of Christ so that: “....we might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding that ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God, strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience, and long suffering with joyfulness: giving  thanks unto the Father which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who Hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his  dear son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins; who is the image of the invisible God, the first born of every creature: For by him were all  things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones or dominions or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him and for him  and he is before all things and by him all things consist. Colossians 1: 9-17.

A Dream Come True

Thought  for Today - March 30
A Dream Come True  -  By: Robert A. Searles
     Have you ever had a dream come true?  Have you ever had something wonderful happen to you that was beyond your fondest dreams and expectations? If you are one of us who have been saved and truly born again, you have had this happen to you.  For once God's grace has been poured out to you, and you have been enabled  by faith to believe in the Lord Jesus  Christ and have received him as your Lord and Savior, and you know that all your sins have been forgiven and that you are on your way to heaven, your weeping is turned to laughter; your mourning has been turned to joy; and for the first time in your life you are set free.  When the Lord turned your captivity to freedom, it seemed too good to be true.  It seemed like a dream, and oh! the joy that filled your heart and you wanted to jump up and shout the glad tidings and tell the whole world.
     We are so happy over what has happened to us that we want to go nd tell the whole world.  We sorrow for those who remain in captivity to Satan, and we go out to sow the seed of the good news of the gospel in tears, knowing that by the grace and power of  God, we  shall doubtless come again rejoicing, bringing our  sheaves with us as we are promised in the word of God.
     Oh! What a dream has come true for all of us who have put our trust in Jesus, that sin and death would have no more power over us, and he has turned our captivity and made  us to be partakers of his glory in his heavenly kingdom.
     “When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.  Then was our mouth filled with laughter,  and our tongue witjh singing.   Then said they among the heathen, the Lord hath done great things for them.  The  Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.  Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as the streams in the south.  They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.  He that goeth  forth and weepeth bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.” Psalm, 126: 1-6.

Pressing Forward

Thought for Today - March 28
Pressing  Forward
By: Robert A. Searles

     This is the first day of the rest of our lives.  Having come before our Lord this morning in prayer, and according to his faithfulness to cleanse and forgive, having received forgiveness and cleansing, let us begin at the place where we are at this moment, forgetting those things which are behind and reach forward to those things which are before us.  We can do nothing about what has passed except to ask God to forgive us for our sins and short coming, but by God's grace and enabling power, we can if we will, take that which we have now and “Press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3: 14.

     What is the prize of the high calling of God? The prize of the high calling of God is: “That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; if by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.” Philippians 3 10.

The prize of the high calling of God is our Savior, the Lord JesusChrist:  “Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able to subdue all  things unto himself.” Philippians 3:20-21.

Light Up The World

Thought for Today March 26
Light Up The World  -  By: Robert A. Searles
     Let us Christians who love Christ shine as lights in the world, illuminating the darkness with our presence, and put to shame every evil thing because it is God who worketh in us to perform his good works.  We ought to work for God with fear and trembling.  We work for earthly employers with fear and trembling, fear of loss of rewards if we fail to perform as we are expected.  Much more we ought to work for God with fear of loss of much greater rewards if we fail to perform for him as we as Christians are expected.  We who are saved need to be diligent workers for the Lord.
     “Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.  For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do  of his good pleasure.  Do all things without murmurings and disputings: That ye  may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; holding forth the word of  life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have  not run in vain, neither labored in vain.” Philippians 2: 12-16.

Rebellion Against God Results in Human Bondage

Thought For Today – March 23
Rebellion Against God Results In Human Bondage  -  By: Robert A. Searles
     To have a rebellious spirit against God and his chain of authority on earth is like being bound with chains, and being left alone In the wilderness where there is no water and food.  The bible tells us that rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft.  Rebellion against God and his word is the root cause of all the troubles in the world.  When God's laws and instructions are strictly obeyed there is peace and harmony In our individual lives, our homes and families, our schools and churches, and our nation.
     “God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.” Psalm 68: 6.

Jesus Never Fails

Thought for Today - May 25, 2024
Jesus Never Fails  

 By: Robert A. Searles
     Men will disappoint you, but Jesus never fails.  Men will abandon you, but Jesus will never leave you nor forsake you.  “When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.” Psalm 27: 10.  Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior is one who sticketh closer than a brother.
     “If ye love me, keep my commandments and I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another comforter, that he may abide with you forever: even the spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive because it seeth him not neither knoweth him: but ye know him, for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.” John 14: 15-17. 

 

 “If a man love me, he will keep my words, and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.” John 14: 23.

     “Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.” Philippians 1: 6/  

     Put your confidence and trust in Christ, and not man.  Christ is in control of all men ultimately and all elements of creation must obey him in the end.

Lifestyle of Christians

Thought for Today - March 21
Lifestyle of Christians
By: Robert A. Searles

     The lifestyle of all Christians ought to be such as becometh the gospel of Christ.  Our lives ought to be honoring to Christ in every way.  The way we think; the way we speak; the way we act; ought to manifest the life of the Holy Spirit who dwells within us.  All truly born again Christians are supernaturally bound together by the indwelling Holy Spirit, and ought to stand fast with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel.  Christians ought to expect to be treated by the world and the enemies of Christ in the same manner as Christ was treated by the world.  If the world did not want to accept the lifestyle of Christ, then we cannot expect the world to be engrossed by our lifestyle if indeed Christ lives in us.

     “Only let your conversation  be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel.  And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.  For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake; having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.” Philippians 1: 27-30.
