Ere you left your room this morning, did you think to pray? If your life turns dark and dreary turn your eyes upon Jesus, rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the well of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1 Thessalonians 5.16-18. Pray privately, pray reverently.

Christ receives sinful man. Yes, God sent Jesus, His beloved Son, that the world through Him might be saved. See John 3.17. Through Christ we have been freed from the bondage of sin which has held us captive and we now live a godly life. To obtain victory in Jesus, we must endure temptation, obey His commandments and remain faithful; then we will receive the crown of life. Revelation 2.10. Unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given, His name is called wonderful counsellor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the prince of peace. See Isaiah 9.6. Thank You Father.

We live in a wicked and perverse generation, a broken world filled with sin; hands defiled with blood, lips that speak lies against our Lord, conceiving evil bringing forth iniquity. Acts of violence is in the hands of many, feet that run to evil. Peace they have not known, there is no justice in their ways. Things haven’t changed much since Isaiah 59.

Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12.2. We should never take these gospel words for granted. What a friend we have in Jesus, Let us always be thankful for His great sacrifice.

Thus says the Lord, our God: “Be still and know that I am God.” Psalm 46.10. “I am the Lord, I change not.” Malachi 3.6. And Jesus the Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. See Hebrews 13.8. God who cannot lie has Himself promises to never leave nor forsake all who will obey and serve Him. see Hebrews 13.5. Oh how wonderful, oh how marvelous is our saviors love for us. In Jesus name let us pray often, thanking God for all His blessings, AMEN
