When David sinned against God and man, he mourned the loss of God’s presence. He begged for his Lord’s return: “Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me” (Ps. 51:11). This man after God’s own heart had tasted and seen the goodness of God in his life. He declared: “… In thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore” (Ps. 16:11). He praised the Lord continually because he found nothing in life better than his experience with God. “Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee” (Ps. 63:3).

Many profess to know God without ever really experiencing His actual presence and power in their being. They mistake their religiosity, or so-called spirituality, with a genuine partaking of God. Before the Lord enters our life, through the new birth, we have no real idea what an experience with God is.

You can’t miss something you’ve never known. You can’t mourn the loss of a person who has never been there in the first place. By sending His Son into the world, God offers all men the opportunity to “taste and see” that He is good. He wants each of us to know Him intimately. He is the Fountain of Living Waters and the Bread of Life. His intention is not that we give Him lip service, or assent intellectually to His existence. He wants us to experience Him deeply and fully every day of our lives for the rest of eternity. He is willing for you to have more than religion. He wants you to know what you’ve been missing.

“O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.” (Psalm 34:8)

Religion should not suffice us. It does not suffice God. He wants more than ritual observance and the reciting of prayers. God wants entrance into the heart and soul of man. The true worship of God is in spirit and in truth. It is not limited to a sacred space and time. God wants continual interaction with His people. He has something to say to us every day of the week. He would give us our daily bread.

The lukewarm are content with their half-hearted devotion to God. But that will never do with a God who calls us to love Him with our whole heart, mind, soul, and strength. He would rather we acknowledge our distance from Him than pretend we’re close to Him when we’re not. He says, “Draw near to Me, and I will draw near to you!”

Will we stir ourselves up to take hold of the kind of relationship with God that He desires of us? Or will we deceive ourselves that we have Him in our life, when we only have religion.

“But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags … And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee” (Isaiah 27:6,7)

— Wanting More Than Religion

God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. He rewards them with every good thing He has stored up for them. He tells us that if we are to find, we must seek Him with our whole heart. Taking hold of the things of God requires zeal. Paul made it his mission in life to apprehend all that Christ had apprehended him for. Whatever had been gain to him no longer mattered. His passionate pursuit to gain the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus his Lord, caused him to count every other thing he ever wanted as loss and dung.

Jesus said He came to give us life in a greater abundance than we have ever known. When it comes to having the things of God in rich abundance there is no other requirement than being a diligent seeker after God. Do you want greater understanding? “… They that seek the LORD understand all things” (Prov. 28:5).

Do you want righteousness? Then hunger and thirst after it and you will be filled. What is it that God wants us to be after? He wants us to want what He wants. What is that? “But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him” (John 4:23). Seek the gain of godliness!

Why do we chase after things that are nothing, while neglecting the pursuit of what is of ultimate worth in the sight of God? No wonder we become down and depressed – that is where chasing after the wind will lead us. “They followed vanity, and became vain …” (2 Kings 17:15). The strongest and most determined men of this world, the “young lions,” often come up empty. The riches they sought after, and had in their possession for a moment, take wings and fly away (Prov. 23:5). But those who have set their sights on things above, on heavenly spiritual treasures that are gained even through the trials of life, will not want any good thing that God has laid up for them.

Make a fervent seeking of God the one rule of your life.

“The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.” (Psalm 34:10)

Whether they steal or cheat the “children of this world” are intent on securing this world’s goods. Their daily concern is how they might increase in earthly riches. Jesus held forth the unjust steward as a prime example of this drive and desire. He contrasted such with the children of light. Where is the desire of God’s children to obtain heavenly treasure? Why aren’t they as driven to accumulate the riches Christ counsels us to buy? Is it because they believe they are already “rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing” (Rev. 3:17)?

Jesus promised that if we would seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, everything we have need of would be added to us. We can be careful and troubled over many things we don’t need to stress over. God tells us to be content with food and raiment. Jesus told us that the Father who feeds the sparrows and clothes the lilies of the field, can well provide those things for us. God’s concern is that our obsessions over these things choke His Word in our life; consuming us to such an extent that we neglect the greater pursuit.

There will be no laying up of treasure in heaven when our minds are set upon the things of this earth. Gain of earthly treasure is not a mark of godliness or God’s favor on our life. Instead, godliness with contentment is great gain. What are we after? What drives us day in and day out? Outdo the children of this world. Be more zealous than they are to gain greater treasure than they could ever hope to gain.

“… For the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.” (Luke 16:8)

Who should we let into our life? Some people are scary. We wouldn’t want to be alone with them. Others can come across as safe to be with. They appear “normal,” friendly, sane – but looks can be deceiving. Wolves appear in sheep’s clothing, grooming their victims and waiting for the right opportunity to pounce.

In a world where people are not always what they seem, who can you trust? In a world where pretenders abound, and betrayers hide behind smiling faces, is it just better to be alone with one’s self? Trauma breeds isolation, and retreat into a protective bubble, where we feel safe with our own thoughts. While others may have been untrue to us, we believe we can be “true to ourselves.” But what does scripture tell us: “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” (Jer. 17:9) The word of God does not recommend that we trust ourselves. “He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool …” (Prov. 28:26)

The hard truth that many don’t want to hear is that they are no safer when alone with themselves than they are with another. We have an enormous capacity to lie to ourselves. We can think something right that is totally wrong. “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death” (Prov. 14:12). We can convince ourselves we have to do something which only leads to disastrous results. And the more isolated we become, cut off from those who could give us wise counsel, the more dangerous we become to ourselves and others.

What then is the answer? We desperately need one tried and true friend – a wise counselor, a Light who can shine truth into the darkness of our soul. His name is Jesus. He said: “I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life” (John 8:12). We can trust Jesus more than we can trust ourselves. He will always lead us in the right way. Whenever we are straying in our hearts and minds, He can steer us back to safety and sanity.

The folly of trusting in man, also includes trusting in ourselves. You are not your own best friend. You are your own worst enemy. What you desperately need is the entrance and companionship of Jesus in your life. He will not only come alongside of you, but He will be in you to save you from your own self-inflicted folly.

Living alone, without Jesus, is a recipe for tragedy. He invites you to come to Him today. Don’t be afraid to let Him in. You CAN trust Him.

“It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.” (Psalm 118:8)

— Who Can You Trust?

Jesus said that discipleship was proven by a continuance in His Word. Likewise, it is not enough to say we are born again. What is the proof of being born again? What is the evidence we are new creatures? A walk in newness of life. (rom. 6:3).

John the Baptist told those who came to the Jordan river: “Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance” (Matt. 3:8). One can claim they have turned to God, but where is the fruit that accords with that repentance? Likewise, where is the fruit of the Spirit that attests that we are born of the Spirit? If we claim to be light in the Lord, we are then to walk as children of light, evidenced by the fruit of the Spirit. “For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)” (Eph. 5:8,9)

If our faith is genuine, who we claim to be must be substantiated by the reality of our works. The Apostle John does not establish a “reality” where the believer will and must sin. He establishes the very opposite. He makes a clear distinction between the children of God and those of the devil.

“Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.” (1 John 3:4-10)

Those who said they “have no sin” in 1 John 1:8 were those claiming to be pure without the need for “the blood of Jesus Christ” that “cleanses us from all sin” (1 Jn. 1:7). They were those who sought some other way to be right with God apart from faith in Christ. They were those who continued to walk in and justify sin, instead of walking and growing in righteousness. John, and the other apostles, did not tell believers that sin would be inevitable in their lives and they just better get used to it. God forbid!

“What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?” (Romans 6:1,2)

Contend for the faith that was once delivered to the saints (Jude 1:3). Let the Spirit of truth guide you into all truth. What is that truth? “Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin … If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed” (John 8:34,36).

If the “truth” you are believing is not establishing you in the freedom that Christ purchased for you on the cross, you do well to question what truth you have received. The gospel truth is a freedom FROM sin, not a freedom TO sin.

“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:31,32)

— Showing Who We Are

10/15/2026

Like the father in the story of the prodigal son, God waits for the return of those who have gone astray from Him. In the throes of our own strong desires or emotional turmoil, it is possible to set off on a rebellious path. God and His commandments are one. When we depart from the clear command of God, we depart from God. Returning to God requires us to repent of our departure from His Word.

The initial hardening of one’s heart is bad; the continuing hardness is worse. What is more marvelous than a person’s disobedience is their continued justification of that disobedience. Although they can claim to be “back with the Lord,” there is no return to Him without deep and genuine repentance in the very place of departure from His word.

Where are the words that signal repentance? Where is the confession that shows our return to the Lord? “O Israel, return unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.” (Hosea 14:1,2)

When the prodigal came to his senses he took with him words, saying: “Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee” (Lk. 15:18). God waits for such words from every person who has turned to their own way in a moment of rebellion. “I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle.” (Jeremiah 8:6).

The Good Shepherd always longs for restoration. “He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake” (Ps. 23:3). But such restoration depends on our repentance, and return to any path of righteousness we departed from. He is not listening for how spiritual we can sound on many things; He is listening for those words that indicate we have repented of the one sin that is marked in His sight. He wants us to once again cherish the sound of His voice.

“Moreover thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; Shall they fall, and not arise? shall he turn away, and not return? Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.” (Jeremiah 8:4,5)

— Repentance Where It Matters

10/14/2026

It is an irrefutable fact, known by Job and every righteous man or woman who ever lived, that we become bolder and stronger, and more anointed with the power and wisdom of God, as we walk in obedience to Him. Stephen “used the office of a deacon well” and purchased for himself a “good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus” (1 Tim. 3:13). He was “full of faith and power” and “did great wonders and miracles among the people” (Acts 6:8). In the same hour he was brought before the council, it was not him who spoke, but the Holy Spirit who gave him a mouth and wisdom they could not gainsay or resist.

There is no school of man that can impart such an anointing to a man, independent of that man’s own obedience to God. Jesus is the ultimate model of how to receive the promotion of God: “Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows” (Heb. 1:9).

Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil for forty days. Was it not enough for God that He had been faithful for thirty years? Great anointing requires great testing. When the devil realized he was getting nowhere, he gave up and left Jesus alone. But then angels came and ministered to Him; but more importantly, the power of God was unleashed in Him in a way greater than He had ever experienced before. “And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all” (Luke 4:14,15).

David knew the conditions for the blessings of God’s presence upon one’s life: “Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.” (Psalm 24:3-5)

The New Covenant, that gives us access by faith into a favor won for us by the obedience of the perfect Son of God, does not nullify the truth that we can grow in grace, and increase in strength, by our own obedience. Through the Son, walk in the obedience of the Son, and discover the anointing that was upon the Son.

“The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.” (Job 17:9)

The mystical religious systems of the world seek in vain to find deliverance from “self.” Achieving “ego death” is impossible, whether through meditation, ecstasy, or drugs. We cannot eradicate “self.”

But there is great deliverance as we grow in Christ from selfishness. The mind of Christ that we have been given in the new birth becomes the very attitude we “apprehend” as we walk in His Spirit. Life becomes less and less about us, and what we’re getting from others, and more and more about serving and giving to God and man. We discover the greatness of servanthood and the beauty of sacrifice. We no longer feel put upon and put out by the demands and necessities that surround us. We become cheerful givers, who are more blessed to give than to receive.

The way of God in Christ is the direct opposite of the way of the world. The god of this world is adept at getting men to focus on themselves. Of him, Jesus said: “Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men” (Mk. 8:33).

Jesus embraced the cross upon which He would lay down His life out of love for His Father and us. His was the most selfless life that man ever lived. We are called to follow in His footsteps. To do so is to find a joy and a peace that the world, with all its self-absorbed focus, can never give its adherents. A destination of glory, beauty, and virtue is ahead for every saint of the most high God, who is willing to follow their Master, through death, to resurrection life.

Don’t try to kill “self,” just make it all about Another, who is greater than yourself.

“Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all. For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me.” (Philippians 2:17,18)

— The Joy of Selflessness

Life in this world is characterized by want. As the apostle James put it, we “desire to have, and cannot obtain” (James 4:2). Sometimes, it is not a matter of having nothing at all; it is simply not having enough, or all that we would want. Even when our thirst is sufficiently quenched, it is still only temporary satisfaction. We must once again go back to the well.

In the Old Testament, God calls Himself “the fountain of living waters” (Jer. 2:13). In the New Testament, Jesus told the woman at the well that He could be in her “a well of water springing up into everlasting life” (John 4:14). Oh, if we only knew the gift that God Himself is, we would would let Him fill our cup, and never thirst!

God is the cure, not the cause, of our restless dissatisfaction. But we have not because we ask not. Instead of looking to God, we look to man. We pin our hopes for happiness on the creature rather than the Creator. We make idols of human beings. Our quest for true fulfillment, connection, and satisfaction remains elusive.

God in His mercy lets flesh and blood fail us. In His wisdom, He has ordained that they come up short for one simple reason: they are not Him. When father and mother exit the picture, He is ready to enter. When no man would know us or care whether we are alive or dead, He would be our refuge and portion. “Doubtless thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O LORD, art our father, our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting” (Isa. 63:16).

Don’t dread the loss of any human being from your life. Don’t fear desolation. “Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day” (1 Tim. 5:5). God meets us best in the wilderness of want. Want in this world is an opportunity for heaven to fill the void. He is there, for every one of us, patiently waiting for us to look away from the things of earth and turn our eyes upon Jesus.

When our world grows smaller, God would grow larger. Let Him fill the void!

“The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.” (Psalm 23:1)
