Peace With God

“Or else let them come to me for refuge; let them make peace with me, yes, let them make peace with me.” Isaiah 27:5

The God of the Bible is seeking to save all who will allow Him to save, so go to Him and have peace. He does not reject or stiff arm anyone who seeks Him or comes to Him for redemption. Those who will ultimately die unsaved, will be those who repeatedly ignored and regularly rejected Jesus as Savior. Want peace with God? Go to Him and tell Him that, now, in prayer.

Eternity is only a split-second away, because we are only a heartbeat away from our eternal choice. Now is the time to be at peace with God, so when we need a refuge in the midst of Life’s storms, go to God.

Let’s pray today that we may find peace with God through His Son, the Lord Jesus.

Our Certain Resurrection

“But your dead will live, Lord; their bodies will rise—let those who dwell in the dust wake up and shout for joy—your dew is like the dew of the morning; the earth will give birth to her dead.”  Isaiah 26:19

Our Lord lives, His tomb is empty, and His grieving followers have the ultimate hope in a certain resurrection. The believer knows the sadness of the grave but they also know the joy of the Lord who overcame it. Just as Jesus called forth Lazarus from the tomb so the day is coming when He will call all His disciples forth from the grave.

Resurrection day is as certain for us as it was for Jesus and Lazarus, and that means even death itself can not prevent God’s saints from being delivered. On that day we will certainly exclaim, Oh death where is your sting, where is your victory now?

Let’s pray today that we will find hope in knowing we serve a living Savior who conquered death.

Peace in Jesus

“You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.”  Isaiah 26:3

Without Jesus, finding peace in a world that’s in collusion with the gates of hell is impossible. Fix your thoughts on the Lord and trust in Him. We can be hopeful for our future by waiting on the Lord and trusting in Him. We can stand for right among a people doing wrong by being faithful to the ways of the Lord and trusting in His word. We can only find peace in these times in Jesus.

Sometimes we need to invest less time fixing our mind on the headlines and more time fixing our mind on Jesus. When we intentionally think on the promises of God’s Word and spend more time praising than Lord, peace will no longer allude us.

Let’s pray today by turning our hearts and minds toward the Prince of Peace, Jesus.

Sin No More

“See, the day of the Lord is coming—a cruel day, with wrath and fierce anger—to make the land desolate and destroy the sinners within it.“  Isaiah 13:9

The good news about God’s wrath is the total relief from the reign of evil and an end of injustice by wickedness in high places. The day of the Lord will usher in the execution of God’s judgment upon the political systems that have oppressed and harmed God’s people. His righteous ways will be vindicated, His saints will rule with Him, and sin will be no more.

The weeds will grow with the wheat until that day because God desires that men would repent before then and be saved. However, the day of the Lord’s wrath is coming because there is nothing else that can be done for those who have outright rejected God’s grace.

Let’s pray today that we would not lose sight that our Lord will redeem and end the reign of sin.

Refreshing Joy

“With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.” Isaiah 12:3

Being saved is not just a moment encounter like a sip of cold water when you thirst. When you are parched with sorrows, dry with despair or bewildered by circumstances, remember that you have continuous access to a never ending spring of pure living water. There is joyfulness in knowing you have Jesus as a constant well of refreshment.

You don’t have to dig your own well every time you thirst because the Lord Jesus made full atonement at Calvary. Just go there in faith whenever sin stains, life troubles you, or fear grips your outlook of the future and find reasons to have joy.

Let’s pray today that we may turn to Jesus for refreshing living pure water daily and often.

Reign of King Jesus

“They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.”  Isaiah 11:9

The day is coming, when the earth is made new and Jesus is King. There shall be no more pain inflicted by the wicked on the saints. A personal knowledge of God’s love shall reign among all people. No longer will there be those who do not follow the laws of our holy God, and no longer will the righteous be hurt or destroyed by them. Until then, let us be faithful to that day and prayerful for the persecuted.

It’s time we develop a Kingdom mindset to help brush away the distractions of these times. If you need to rise above the headlines, hold to an outlook that says this world is not home, I am a citizen of Heaven, and King Jesus is coming soon.

Let’s pray today for our fellow believers to take hope that the reign of King Jesus is coming and near.

The Name of God

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”  Isaiah 9:6

Don’t be fooled by those who say a foreign god is the same as our God, just known by a different name. There is no God but Christ Jesus. He is the only One given for us to be known to us as God, the only One worthy to be Lord, and the only One who leads a true religion of redemption. Jesus is the only God whose name is above all names.

Scoffers may criticize Christian beliefs because they refuse to humble themselves under God’s economy of salvation by grace through faith. Jesus didn’t leave Heaven to come to earth in order that we can save ourselves through religious works.

Let’s pray today that we may freely keep the name of Jesus confidently on our lips as the only God.
