One Day at a Time

Dear Friends, There is a passage in one of Jesus’ discourses with which most of us are very familiar.  It is found in Matthew’s Gospel, Chapter 6: “…Take no thought for your life, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink;  nor yet for your body, what you shall put on…..Which of you by [...]

Dear Friends, Our Lord Jesus identified Himself with the prophecy of Isaiah (61):  “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me because the Lord has anointed me to preach good tidings to the meek;  He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the [...]

Dear Friends, In my last Letter, I recalled a number of examples of troubles and trials working together for good, the Valley of A’chor representing not only ‘trouble’ but also a ‘door of Hope.’  “And what shall I more say?  For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, and of Barak, and of [...]

Dear Friends, Commit your way unto the Lord; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass.” (Psa. 37:5) This very meaningful portion of Scripture is very familiar to most of us, probably having been memorized at one time or another.  But a poem in one of our recent devotional readings made a [...]

Over the last number of [...]

The Greatest of These

Dear Friends, “And now abides FAITH, HOPE, LOVE, these three;  but the greatest of these is LOVE.” (1 Cor. 13:13) The context of this reassuring declaration is that, for the present, we have only limited sight, seeing things as if in a mirror dimly.  And the knowledge we have is very limited and imperfect.  But [...]

Have Faith in God

Dear Friends, FAITH is the first of the triad of that which “abides,” and is very closely related to HOPE and LOVE. In my last letter regarding our HOPE in God, I stated that “Biblical hope is inseparable from Faith in God.  It is not merely a wish or a want but, rather, a confident [...]

Hope Thou in God

“Why art thou cast down, O my soul?  And why art thou disquieted within me?  HOPE THOU IN GOD:  for I shall yet praise Him who is the health of my countenance, and my God.” In one of our recent devotional readings, I was very much inspired by this phrase and determined to see what [...]

Dear Friends, There is an interesting statement in Romans 14:7 that is an oft quoted adage:  “For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself.” How often is that an applicable reality in the little events of everyday life.  I have often been awed by the thought of a person’s life [...]
