Anxiety will always knock at our doors, but we can experience Christ‘s peace: Celebrate God‘s provision, Ask for his help, Leave the problem with him, and Meditate on his goodness.
So take some time today, quiet your heart, call on God, and receive his peace.
[Saul] fell to the ground and heard a voice. . . . “Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked. “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” he replied. Acts 9:4-5 Then, after three days of being blind, the man who had been filled with hatred for believers in Jesus was filled with the Holy Spirit. The Lord Jesus changed his life. Jesus still saves today!
Jesus knows our suffering, and he promises that even in the most silent of nights his holy presence is with us; we are not alone. As he promised his disciples after he rose again, he says to us, “I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:20).
God will judge the sinner but forgive and restore the penitent. “Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord”. Acts 3:19 Only the Lord’s mercy had kept me from being wiped out, as Sodom and Gomorrah had been. Examine your heart and repent of anything displeasing to God. Pray for those around you who do not have a relationship with God. Share the hope of Salvation with someone this week.
Give thanks with a grateful heart. Give thanks to the Holy One
Give thanks because He’s given Jesus Christ, His Son.
And now let the weak say, “I am strong”
Let the poor say, “I am rich
Because of what the Lord has done for us” – Song by Don Moen
I give thanks to You Lord!
Que Deus nos ensine a orar e a agir como convém em favor dos nossos irmãos da igreja sofredora.
God of all hope! The Word of God says, “A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit”. ISAIAH 11:1 There’s hope for God’s people! God plans to raise up a Savior, both tender and powerful, a promise not only to Israel but to all nations. Isaiah declares, “In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples.”
A bênção dos netos! Uma grande alegria que Deus concede às pessoas, nesta Terra, são os netos. Sabemos disso porque fomos agraciado com dois filhos (um rapaz e uma moça), hoje casados e fiéis à Palavra de Deus, e eles nos deram 2 netos – Mattheus e Mila. A Bíblia nos ensina que os filhos dos filhos são uma dádiva divina.
Christ is our life. This alone is victory! This way alone is holiness! Victorious life, holy life, perfect life is Christ himself! From start to finish, it is Christ. Outside of Him, we have nothing at all. Christ must have the preeminence in all things!
