VERSE
Psalms 62:7 (KJV) In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

INSPIRATION
The Psalms are filled with references to God being our rock and refuge. King David was not the most innocent person in the Bible: he committed adultery, was certainly guilty of envy and lust, and more or less guilty of murder. David certainly understood one thing: God was his refuge and the only path to salvation. He begged for forgiveness numerous times, realizing his sins, begging for atonement, and having faith in the Lord, his rock and refuge.

PRAYER
Hallowed and holy Lord, I must release the darkness from my heart. I beg that You forgive me of the sins that I have committed, and thank You for always being there for me: my rock, refuge, and redeemer. Give me the faith to know that You will never forsake me. You are my helper, Lord. I will not be afraid. With this knowledge, what can man do to me? I long for the day I join You and Your son in heaven, almighty God. Amen.

VERSE

Joshua 1:9 (KJV) Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

INSPIRATION

At the start of the book of Joshua, Moses has died and there is a feeling of fear in all of the Israelites. God commands Joshua to not be afraid, to trust in Him, because the Lord will always be with Him. Although it might not feel so direct or clear, God has done the same for all of us, by sending His son to earth to live, die, and reborn for us. So go out to love the Lord and the people, serve the Lord and the people. Leave everything we own to our one true Lord!

PRAYER

Abba Father, You stand with us even when it seems that we are alone. Give me the courage to stand up and hate evil, to not feel discouraged in dark times, and to be faithful even when others' faith wavers. It is only through You that I will find the way, the truth, and the life. I submit myself totally to ye, wondrous God, and it is in Your name that I pray, Amen.

(((A STEADFAST HEART)))

((WE STILL NEED TO BE COURAGEOUS AND WAIT FOR LORD))

(VERSE)
Psalms 34:13-14 (KJV) Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

(INSPIRATION)
It is this confidence that keeps us going in all the days of our lives, especially the dark days. We are still in the season of Easter; we have just remembered anew the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. We have just celebrated his resurrection. This is the season when people in many Christian denominations have been welcomed into their community through their baptism. When this psalm was written, the Messiah was still a promise, they did not know about Jesus, or the Good News of salvation earned by him. This psalm is attributed to King David who in the first verses of it claims Yahweh as his light and salvation. Hundreds of years before the birth of Jesus, the people were told that the goodness of God would lead them into eternal life if they were courageous and were willing to wait. We have the privilege of knowing of the Messiah and his coming. We know that the promise has been fulfilled. But we still need to be courageous and wait for the Lord. It is so easy when all is going well to forget about our need for God. Every day poses challenges for us, and some of these we don’t recognize as something that could lead us in the wrong direction. We think about someone who’s been sick, and we haven’t heard from in a while. Do we ignore the nudge, or do we call them and see how they’re doing? It can be so easy to forget about the needs of others and just think about ourselves. Other times, we might feel ignored or insulted by someone; what is our response? Do we get angry, or forget about it? We, like David, need to be courageous, remember the promise, don’t let the demons of today distract us, and wait for the Lord.

(PRAYER)
Lord, you gave king David the we need to remember everyday. You are our light, you are our salvation, help us to live each day with your presence ever in our minds. Amen

((GOOD FRIDAY))

(JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR US, WHAT CAN WE DO TODAY TO SATISFY HIS THIRST?)

(VERSE)
John 19:28 (KJV) After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.

(INSPIRATION)
For over twenty years I participated in an ecumenical Good Friday service where seven different preachers from seven different church communities and different denominations reflected on one of the seven last words of Christ as written in the four Gospel accounts of the crucifixion. Over twenty years I have heard or given reflections on this Word. What was Jesus thirsting for? I’m sure he was physically thirsty as he had had nothing to drink as he hung on the cross, and we don’t know if he had had anything to drink during the time of the beatings or as he carried the cross. But was he thirsting for something else as well? Perhaps he was thirsting for those who had walked with him to continue to believe. Maybe he was thirsting for justice or peace. I’m sure he thirsted for a more loving world. What do we thirst for? Remember the time when he asked the Samaritan woman for a drink? He offered her “living water,” Perhaps Jesus was asking those who were with him at the cross to offer the living water he had given them to others. Today, there are many people who need to hear about and receive his “living water.” There are also many who need clean water to drink. I have found that it is often those who offer Jesus message that also work to satisfy the physical needs of communities. In Haiti and in Tanzania, I saw Christian groups work with the people to dig wells and provide methods of purification for water. What about justice? What are we willing to do to satisfy the thirst for justice, especially for the poor and the vulnerable? What can we do to bring about a more peaceful world? Jesus died for us. What can we do today to satisfy his thirst?

(PRAYER)
Lord Jesus Christ, crucifixion is one of the cruelest form of death and yet you suffered this for us. May we work to alleviate the suffering of others who thirst for clean water, a safe place to raise their families, education, health care and freedom from fear. Amen

(VERSE)
Acts 9:4-5 (KJV) And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

(INSPIRATION)
When Saul persecuted the Church of Christ, he persecuted Christ, for Christ is in such intimate union with his people that they are his body, he their head. Saul had fought against his conscience in so doing. "Kick against the pricks" refers to thorns or spikes that cattle would ram their legs into if they kicked at the farmer behind them holding the plow. Saul falls captive here to the Lordship of Christ and begins to experience his salvation.

(PRAYER)
Lord, precious in Your sight is the death of Your saints. And yet, You allow persecution against Your people whom You love all over the world. The persecutors sin and violate their own consciences, but You use persecution to spread the faith as powerful testimonies for You emerge in its midst. We pray for the persecuted Church and yet praise You for what You are doing through even that. Amen

14/03/2023

(VERSE)
1 Peter 4:11 (KJV) If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

(INSPIRATION)
When we preach or hear the Word preached, we should understand that the Bible is the oracles of God. Where is the prophet among you, O Church of the living God? There is none today save one, His written Word, which is the very words of the prophets recorded for us and given to us for our benefit.

(PRAYER)
Speak, Lord, through your Word to me and to all your Church. Speak to this generation, which has become so wise in its own eyes, and humble us. Let us see true wisdom and perfect beauty in your holy Law and holy Gospel. Give us the eyes to see and the heart to obey your truths. Amen.

27/02/2023

(VERSE)
Psalms 33:4-5 (KJV) For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth.
He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.

(INSPIRATION)
Many people view nature and the beauty of earth as proof that God doesn’t exist. I cannot fathom how a person can witness the wonders of our world and think that there is not a higher power, one that is faithful and true to a purpose that we can barely grasp. We do know this to be true, and it is our duty to help others get to know God as well.

(PRAYER)
Creator of heaven and earth, blessed are all that come in Your holy name, my Lord. Every day that I bear witness to Your creation I thank you, wondrous God, for each day is truly a gift. Strengthen my faith in You, knowing that there is a divine plan that I may not always understand. I ask all of these things in the name of Your son, Jesus Christ. Amen.

((DO NOT BOAST))

(THE BIGGER THEY ARE, THE HARDER THEY FALL)

(VERSE)
Proverbs 27:1-2 (KJV) Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.

(INSPIRATION)
The Book of Proverbs makes for interesting reading. This passage makes me think of the sayings, “Pride comes before a fall,” and “Don’t toot your own horn.” “The bigger they are, the harder they fall.” Fame today may not be permanent and just because one has succeeded in one endeavor does not mean that one will be successful in everything. No one can predict what the future will bring, and that can mean further success or failure. There is much happiness for some people when they see a person fail. This is especially true if the person holds a high position or is in a profession that is considered to be held to a higher standard. Athletes, entertainers as well as politicians, teachers, ministers, etc. fall into this category. Gossip magazines as well as television programs that pass themselves off as current “news” thrive on this. In business, we see people who have worked with a dedicated team of people take credit for the result without mentioning their team members. In the long run, no one likes a boastful person. In addition to this, someone who is always talking about themselves is not appreciating the value of others. If our eyes are always on ourselves, we don’t have time for others. We all have gifts and we all succeed at something. It may not be something that will win an award, but it will be worth everything in the eyes of God. God measures success in very different ways than the world does. God just wants us to become the person he created us to be. When we succeed in loving others and following his commandments, we will enjoy the reward promised to us and earned for us by Jesus – eternal life with him in heaven.

(PRAYER)
Father, you have given us everything that we need to be successful followers of your Son. Guide our steps along the way so that we will not fail you. Amen

((THE BEATITUDES))

(IN OUR WORLD, TO BE GENTLE OR MEEK TAKES TRUE STRENGTH)

(VERSE)
Matthew 5:1-12 (KJV) And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for their's is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for their's is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

(INSPIRATION)
The Beatitudes are so familiar we sometimes don’t consider what relevance they might have for us. Often preachers concentrate on the first “Blessed” that of being poor in spirit. What about those who mourn? Anyone who is reading this is old enough to have mourned. We have lost parents or grandparents, friends or children, and have suffered from it. I have known people who are still mourning a parent after 20 or 30 years. Now, I’m not talking about the ongoing sense of loss that we all feel when we no longer have an important person in our lives, but such a deep seated grief, that they can’t seem to move on with their lives. Sometimes, this death has occurred after months, or even years of suffering. I wonder what they believe about death and eternal life. Jesus’ promise is that he has conquered death by his own death and resurrection. Do we believe this? The death of a loved one forces us to answer this question. Who are we grieving for? Are we grieving for the person who we say we believe is now with God, or are we grieving for our own loss? Only remembering the promise of Christ can truly bring us comfort. Let’s move on to the gentle. In some translations, the word used is “meek.” So often, the gentle, the meek, are seen as weak. In our world, to be gentle or meek takes true strength. To turn the other cheek; to refuse to seek revenge; to walk away from a confrontation are all seen as signs of weakness. Yet, Jesus tells us that is just such as these that will inherit the earth. Our media tells us that violence is the answer to all the questions and yet more was accomplished by the likes of Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Mother Teresa of Calcutta, than by those who believe in violence. These are people who also represent those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. Let us follow their example so that we, too, will be filled.

(PRAYER)
Lord, let us take some time to meditate on the beatitudes so that we may know how you want us to live. Amen
