THE BATTLE OF THE SOUL Psalm 13 Amid life’s trials and tribulations, it’s common to echo the words of the Psalmist, asking, “How long, O Lord?” In Psalm 13, we see a heartfelt cry of desperation and longing for God’s intervention. As we delve into this passage, let’s reflect on our moments of waiting and how we can find hope and faith in their midst. The Cry of the Psalmist: The opening verses of Psalm 13 express the raw emotion of the Psalmist as they pour out their heart to God. They feel abandoned, forgotten, and overwhelmed by their circumstances. Have you ever experienced...

Restore Us, O Lord  Love Returned Series  Lamentations 5 Often, it takes reaching the depths of exhaustion and despair before we muster the resolve to change. Once we've tasted the richness of God's grace and strayed from its embrace, the stark contrast of a life steeped in sin becomes painfully evident. We find ourselves akin to forsaken wanderers (verse 3), cast onto the unforgiving streets, vulnerable and pleading for redemption. Deep within, we acknowledge that we ultimately bear responsibility for our circumstances. While we may inherit patterns of transgression from our...

YET, STILL, I DARE TO HOPE Love Returned Series Lamentations 3   As we delve into Lamentations 3 and confront the harsh reality of our existence, we realize that despite being children of God and bearing the kingdom of heaven within us, we remain entrenched in a world marred by sin and suffering.    Our anguish may stem from our transgressions or the wrongdoing of others. Jeremiah, the prophet, bore witness to the suffering of his people, a consequence of their refusal to heed divine warnings. While he could have harbored resentment and turned away,...

NO GREATER LOVE  pt. 2 (Resurrection Sunday) The Resurrection - Triumph over Death Continuing our exploration in "Love Returned," we turn our attention to the transformative power of Christ's resurrection, as echoed in John 15:13: "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends."

LOVING OTHERS LOVE RETURNED SERIES 1 Peter 4, 1 John 3   Loving God inherently involves loving others. It's not enough to claim devotion to God while harboring hatred for our fellow humans. As 1 John 4:20 asserts, if we fail to love those we can see, how can we claim to love God, whom we cannot see?   1 Peter 4 offers guidance for navigating adversity, with verse 8 as a poignant reminder: "Above all, maintain fervent love for one another because love covers a multitude of sins." This fervent love requires deep compassion, even towards those who may...

Ephesians 6:15
 
 
Ephesians 6:15 (NLT): For shoes, put on the peace from the Good News to be fully prepared.
 
In a world searching for peace, where nations yearn for safety and families ache for security, the call to put on the shoes of peace echoes through the ages. The current landscape, marred by conflicts in places like Ukraine, Israel, and Palestine, unveils the stark reality that many innocent lives are disrupted, homes are shattered, and the fabric of peace is torn asunder. It prompts us to reflect on the fragility of the tranquility we often take for granted.
 
Yet, in Ecclesiastes' timeless wisdom, the Scriptures remind us that there will be times of war and peace. The peace mentioned here is not the absence of conflict on a geopolitical scale; instead, it is the profound and unwavering peace that stems from the Good News of Jesus Christ. It encompasses the forgiveness of sins, the promise of eternal life, the divine nature we are clothed in, and the continuous experience of God's favor and grace. It is a peace that transcends circumstances and is accessible to believers at all times and places.
 
To put on this peace is knowing the Good News intimately and standing firm in its promises, even when the world may suggest otherwise. Philippians 4:6-9 provides a roadmap for embracing this transformative peace:
 
Philippians 4:6-9 (NLT): 6 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. 8 And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, honorable, correct, pure, lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. 9 Keep putting into practice everything you learned and received from me—everything you heard and saw me doing. Then, the God of peace will be with you.
 
In these verses, we find the practical steps to envelop ourselves in the peace that surpasses understanding. By replacing worry with prayer, expressing gratitude, and fixing our thoughts on the virtues that align with God's nature, we are not merely spectators to peace but active participants in its embodiment. In standing in the principles of the Good News, we truly put on the shoes of peace, ensuring that we are prepared for life's challenges and bearers of the peace that emanates from the Gospel of Christ.
