   Jun 30, 2011 ... This is a powerful song written by myself and a friend, giving others hope based on Psalm 46...God is our Refuge and Strength...we will not fear!

Refuge

In this day of opening the borders of our nation to unvetted immigrants who may or may not be the refugees they are purported to be, we may discover that those whom we have welcomed have come, not to assimilate among us but to annihilate us.

If that happens, we will find ourselves surrounded by an enemy we cannot easily identify, an enemy combatant who does not wear a uniform but plots our destruction from behind the casual attire of a neighbor.

What are we to do in this day when our leaders seem oblivious to our need for security and protection? What do we do in this day when our lives seem to be on such shaky ground? What do we cling to when everything around us is unsettled and insecure.

At times like this, we turn where we've always turned--unto the HOLY ONE who has promised to hold us securely in the hollow of His loving hand. The God who promised long ago to be "your refuge and your strength; a very present help in time of trouble," Psalm 46:1, is still mindful of His assurances to us today.

The HOLY ONE whose word is still "yea and amen," is still in the business of guarding and protecting His people.

Where is our refuge and our strength? WHO is our Refuge and our Strength? It is where it has always been. It is WHO it has always been.

Allow JESUS to enfold you into His salvation--and there you will abide safely forever.

To Walk the Earth As Brothers

When our turn arrives to stand at the portal of Heaven, our entry there won't depend upon the good things we have done or the charitable work we have supported or the scientific concepts we have mastered.

Our entry into the realm of glory will depend upon only one thing--our decision to accept or to reject Christ.

At this very moment, each of us may look at our image in a mirror and recognize one whose eternal destination is already determined. If we are content with the location we've chosen as our home throughout eternity, then we need do nothing differently.

However, if we have a yearning in the depth of our spirit for a better eternal abode, there is one thing that can change our course. If we long to dwell in Heaven with our risen Savior, we can accept His unspeakable gift to us of redemption from sin and hope for eternity.

Salvation is free but it is not without cost...the price has been paid at Golgotha's Hill. We need only avail ourselves of Christ's great expenditure of Himself in our behalf.

When we have the Prince of Peace living in our hearts, we will walk side-by-side with our brothers through the trials of life. We will share Christ's love with everyone around us throughout time and we will abide with JESUS forever.

Hope Deferred

 

December 30

“And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. “ Galatians 6:9

Hope Deferred by John W. Ritenbaugh

"Hope deferred," the proverb says, "makes the heart sick." Devotion to Christianity is not easy in this world because the pull to just slide is constantly present, and the Galatians were losing their attentiveness. A synonym for devotion is "attentiveness," and these people were becoming inattentive in their devotion to Christ.

They had lost sight of the real goal and entirely neglected what Christ was doing for them on a daily basis. He had not lost His attentiveness to them. Because they had allowed themselves to drift, they were not aware what Christ was doing for them out of His love for them.

If we can think of this in a human sense, it was if He were being spurned, where one of the two parties involved in a loving relationship is doing all the good things and the other is passive. So, there was Christ, making the effort through His apostles—through the church and His ministry by means of the Spirit—to stir them up, but they were not paying a great deal of attention.

How quickly they forgot that without Him we can do nothing (John 15:5)! If they were going to have any spiritual growth and reward, it would be through their relationship with Christ. Yet, they were forgetting that their supply of the Spirit, as it were, was coming from Him. He is the main trunk of the tree—He is the vine, we are the branches—and so the relationship is all-important.

Daily, He prepares us for the Kingdom. "I go and prepare a place for you," He says in John 14:2. He is working with us on a daily basis, forgiving us, leading us, being patient with us, and providing for us. However, the Galatians were instead looking longingly at the world for gratification and relief.

If a person feels that his affections are abused by the one he loves, it impairs his power to grow because people tend to follow the lead of their emotions. Human beings are very emotional creatures.

These Galatians felt that, because He had not returned according to their expectations, and because Christ and the Father had allowed them to go through persecutions—both economic and social—they were being neglected.

They were feeling as though their affections for Christ were being abused. They thus allowed themselves to follow the lead of their emotions.

It is a principle that what we like to do, we gradually become. We then set our wills to do what we like to do. We must be very careful about what we set our emotions upon.
