Verse of Meditation

~The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? ~{Psalms 27:1}

~ So long as God’s people, in this time of peril, are careful to be sincere and upright, pure and undefiled in the life-practice, trusting alone in the One who is all-wise, all-merciful, full of compassion, they are walking in a safe path and will not turn aside for trifles. God is their defense, their front-guard, and their rearward. ~ {16LtMs, Ms 151, 1901, par. 17}

Nothing will prevent the strength of God,whom the strength of the righteous is. Little trust is exercise that is why we the professed child of the Creator sad and facial sorrow. Lord Jesus Christ, help us to understand your strength. Amen and Amen.

Take Note of the Favors

~Many professed Christians dwell too much on the dark side of life, when they might rejoice in the sunshine; they repine when they should be glad; they talk of trials when they should offer praise for the rich blessings they enjoy. They look at the unpleasant things, hoard up the disappointments, and sigh over the griefs, and, as a consequence, grow heavyhearted and sad, when, should they count up their blessings, they would find them so numerous that they would forget to mention their annoyances. If they would every day take note of the favors that are done them; if they would store their minds with the precious memory of kindnesses received, how much occasion they would find to render thanks and praise to the Giver of all good.~ ML 327.4

"Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. For yet a little while, and he that shall come, will come, and will not tarry." Look up, look up, and let your faith continually increase. Let this faith guide you along the narrow path that leads through the gates of the city of God into the great beyond, the wide, unbounded future that awaits the overcomer. Heed the encouragement in the words, "Be patient, therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and the latter rain. Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts; for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh."

Let us be found "rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing instant in prayer." The Lord has made every provision that we shall have strong hope. If we are true to our covenant with God, the blessing is certain,--as certain as God's promise can make it. And so great is the blessing that it will be a full and sufficient reward for all the self-denial and self-sacrifice that for Christ's sake we have shown here below. {The Review and Herald, November 24, 1904}
Devotional Compiled From the Bible and the Writings of Ellen White.
Praise the Lord. Amen

Our Daily Bread: Patient In Tribulation
Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer. Romans 12:12
February 14
"The great day of the Lord is near; it is near, and hasteth greatly." Every hour, every minute, is precious. We have no time to spend in faultfinding and contention. All around us there are souls perishing in sin. Every day there is something to do for the Master. Every day we are to point souls to the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

Be always ready; "in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh." Go to your rest at night with every sin confessed. Thus we did in 1844, when we expected to meet our Lord. And now this great event is nearer than when we first believed. Be always ready, in the evening, in the morning, and at noon, that when the cry is heard, "Behold, the Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him!" you may, even though awakened out of sleep, go forth to meet him with your lamps trimmed and burning.

*THE VOICE OF GOD, TODAY 5 January 2024*

Heavenly Father,in the Most Holy place we praise you in the beloved name, Jesus Christ.

" *But this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark.* "Philippians 3:13, 14

*Today's Meditation* :Don't let anything sidetrack you(1)

*Do not allow anything to turn you aside from the path of self-denial. Of those who in ancient times engaged in contests of physical strength, we read,*

“ And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.” (1 Corinthians 9:25, KJV.).

*As we engage in the great struggle, let us think of what we shall lose if we fail. We shall lose the eternal life purchased for us by the blood of the Son of God. Shall we, then, grudge the toil of eternal vigilance?*

If we do all in our power to resist evil and surmount obstacles, we shall gain the victory. Vigor will reward the efforts made to press toward the prize of our high calling in Christ. (This Day With God page 374.1

*As a snare Satan will employ every means available to sidetrack the people from holy course , none is free from such temptation and yet the Prince in the Heavenly Sanctuary has said "I am the vine, you are the branches: He that abide in me, and I in him, the same bring forth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing."* John 15:5 . *This is our victory against sidetrack, even staying in his word.* Amen.

Verse of the Day

Isaiah 58:10

And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday:

Commentary:

Practical work will have far more effect than mere sermonizing. We are to give food to the hungry, clothing to the naked, and shelter to the homeless. And we are called to do more than this. The wants of the soul, only the love of Christ can satisfy. If Christ is abiding in us, our hearts will be full of divine sympathy. The sealed fountains of earnest, Christlike love will be unsealed. God calls not only for our gifts for the needy, but for our cheerful countenance, our hopeful words, our kindly handclasp. When Christ healed the sick, He laid His hands upon them. So should we come in close touch with those whom we seek to benefit. COL 417.4-COL 418.1

Verse of the Day

Judges 14:3
Then his father and his mother said unto him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well.

Commentary:

How many are pursuing the same course as did Samson! How often marriages are formed between the godly and the ungodly, because inclination governs in the selection of husband or wife! The parties do not ask counsel of God, nor have His glory in view. Christianity ought to have a controlling influence upon the marriage relation, but it is too often the case that the motives which lead to this union are not in keeping with Christian principles. Satan is constantly seeking to strengthen his power over the people of God by inducing them to enter into alliance with his subjects; and in order to accomplish this he endeavors to arouse unsanctified passions in the heart. PP 563.2
Marriage is a Divine institution from the Bible, Genesis 2 and therefore all the steps leading to the union of responsible man and woman must be careful calculated in the light of Bible standard so that Divine laws are transgressed. To ensure God guidance through the marriage life ensure that the pillars , even God's Ten commandments are not transgressed. Pray and Bible studies are vital in this enrollment to the institution of marriage.Lord Jesus Christ help us.

FRUITING TIME:LORD HELP US INWARD CORRUPTION.
There is a language that our soul lack and only you (God) can supply -the need of change of heart, Oh Lord Jesus Christ open our eyes the inhabitants (individual) of the earth that we loose not every day declaration of thy glory in the work of thy hands. Help us to understand the speech they throughout the world the work of thy hands preach. We surrounded by God's faithful declaration of his glory everywhere but we don't perceived. This saying is us " For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them."Acts 28:27.Master Jesus Christ, ...
you gave your life for our worthless life contaminated with sin.Master calm down the sea of deception and doubt and help us to know you personally duties of abiding in you.Blessed is he that the God that makes heaven and earth answers him in his word daily.Though we are weak but glory and honor belongs to God who is able to keep us from falling and to present us faultless before his own glory with exceedingly joy,

Hold fast dearly beloved pilgrim, for the Bible and created things are the evidence that God will save us from this inward corruption of our character. Amen.

Verse of the Day
Proverbs 12:22
Lying lips are abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are his delight.
Commentary:

From the stern punishment meted out to those perjurers, God would have us learn also how deep is His hatred and contempt for all hypocrisy and deception. In pretending that they had given all, Ananias and Sapphira lied to the Holy Spirit, and, as a result, they lost this life and the life that is to come. The same God who punished them, today condemns all falsehood. Lying lips are an abomination to Him. He declares that into the Holy City “there shall in no wise enter ... anything that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie.” Revelation 21:27. Let truth telling be held with no loose hand or uncertain grasp. Let it become a part of the life. Playing fast and loose with truth, and dissembling to suit one's own selfish plans, means shipwreck of faith. “Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth.” Ephesians 6:14. He who utters untruths sells his soul in a cheap market. His falsehoods may seem to serve in emergencies; he may thus seem to make business advancement that he could not gain by fair dealing; but he finally reaches the place where he can trust no one. Himself a falsifier, he has no confidence in the word of others. AA 75.3
The same Spirit of God that gave scriptures is ready to produce the purpose of given the word in us. Lord Jesus Christ, lead us in thy way. Amen

EXPOSING DECEPTION. RESTORING TRUTH.

Verse of the Day
Acts 1:7
And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
Commentary:

The times and seasons God has put in His own power. And why has not God given us this knowledge?—Because we would not make a right use of it if He did. A condition of things would result from this knowledge among our people that would greatly re**rd the work of God in preparing a people to stand in the great day that is to come.... Jesus has told His disciples to “watch,” but not for definite time. His followers are to be in the position of those who are listening for the orders of their Captain; they are to watch, wait, pray, and work, as they approach the time for the coming of the Lord; but no one will be able to predict just when that time will come; for “of that day and hour knoweth no man.” You will not be able to say that He will come in one, two, or five years, neither are you to put off His coming by stating that it may not be for ten or twenty years.... We are not to know the definite time either for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit or for the coming of Christ. Mar 136.2

Daily we must count on God for the progress of our duty as truth-bearers,in the family circles and in our workplaces.All need to know that God is ever constant present with them, to instruct,to guide, and to protect.His word, even the Bible is the sure assurance of releasing these benevolence from Our Heavenly Father

LORD JESUS CHRIST LEAD US IN THY WAY, Amen.

Christ is coming again and are you ready to meet him.Ask him to change you if you compare the incomparable righteous character of his to yours in the Bible.Christ character was manifest in all that obey the call of salvation from sin from Genesis to Revelation,Amen.
