Leaning on the Everlasting Arms

    What a fellowship, what a joy divine, leaning on the everlasting arms! What a privilege we have as Christians. No matter what comes upon us, among us, or to us, we can rely on the strength of Christ when our strength is gone.

    Sometimes, we can feel all alone and think we will not make it through. However, if we look at our personal stories, we discover that somehow, someway, we make it through. It was only by the everlasting arm of the Lord.

Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments. Ex 6:6 (KJV)

    Remember, on today, though you may be tired, stressed out, depressed, and seemingly in despair, just know that you will make it through because of the everlasting arms. Do not lose hope or faith. He will not fail or forsake you. He knows how and when to deliver. Thank God for His everlasting arms.

Prayer of the Week:

“I trust you on this day Lord that you will intervene on my behalf. I stand in faith on your love and grace. Thank you for all things. Amen.”

What’s On Your Mind?

      A mind is a terrible thing to waste!” This slogan is one of the most familiar statements associated with education. This statement holds true for all aspects of life. The Christian needs to know that what is allowed in the mind affects the Christian walk and experience. Paul gave us a remedy for the negative influences that can warp our thinking.

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are things just, whatsoever are pure, whatsoever things are things lovely, whatsoever are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Phil 4:8 (KJV)

    What’s on your mind? As a Christian, are you only concerned about circumstances and situations? Or are you overrun with worry and despair? Then, think on good things.

Bring your thoughts under the obedience of Christ. Though many things can occur in life, do not allow them to frustrate your journey with Christ. In the end, Christ will prove Himself faithful to you.

Prayer of the Week:

 “I come to you today asking for help with my thoughts. Though many things come to my mind, I thank you for grace to develop the right thoughts. Amen.”
