Quote Du Jour

Quote du Jour
Christians may differ on a variety of points, but they have all one spiritual appetite; and if we cannot all feel alike, we can all feed alike on the bread of life sent down from heaven. At the table of fellowship with Jesus we are one bread and one cup. As the loving cup goes round we pledge one another heartily therein. Get nearer to Jesus, and you will find yourself linked more and more in spirit to all who are like yourself, supported by the same heavenly manna. ---Charles Spurgeon, Morning and Evening

wait on Him... Isaiah 26:7-8...

The path of the righteous is level;
you make level the way of the righteous.
In the path of your judgments, O Lord, we wait for you;
your name and remembrance are the desire of our soul.
Isiah 26:7-8 ESV

Who are the righteous...? whose path is level...?

Those who trust in the Righteous One...
who give their life to Jesus...
are righteous...

The Lord makes their way smooth...
no worries of condemnation...
no fear of stumbling blocks...
pitfalls...
or perils...

The righteous have no fear of His judgment...
they wait in the path for His judgment...
trusting it to be right...
just...
true...

When His judgments come...
His name... His character...
will be recognized for what it truly is...
by ALL...

None will dispute...
none will argue...
none will deny...
He is the Righteous Judge...
of all creation...

God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name
that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus
every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father...
Philippians 2:9-10 ESV

Those of us in Jesus...
Believers in His Name...
wait with hopeful expectation...
for Him to be honored...
praised...
glorified...
for Who He is...
and what He has done...

Waiting for His judgment...
and His glorification...
should be the desire of our soul...

How do you feel about waiting in the path of His judgment...?

lean on Him... Isaiah 26:4...

Trust in the Lord forever,
for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.
Isaiah 26:4 ESV

There is nothing more sure... in which to place our trust... than in Him... the Everlasting Rock...

He will never fail us...
He will never tire...
He will never pass away...

Of old you laid the foundation of the earth,
and the heavens are the work of your hands.
They will perish, but you will remain;
they will all wear out like a garment.
You will change them like a robe, and they will pass away,
but you are the same, and your years have no end.
Psalm 102:25-27 ESV

His Word always sure...
His promises faithful...
His strength unfailing...
His wisdom and knowledge perfect...

How long can you trust Him...?
Forever...!

What can you trust Him with...?
Everything...!

Who or what...? are you trusting...?

lean on Him... Isaiah 26:3...

You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you,
because he trusts in you. 
Isaiah 26:3 ESV

The one who trusts Him...
has a mind stayed on Him...

The Hebrew translated... stayed... means... "to lean upon"... (Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament)

What does it look like to have a mind... leaned upon Him...?

Thoughts always leaning toward Him...
not toward worry...
not toward fear...
but to the One who is Sovereign...
the One who is Good...
the One who loves you...

"...For the mountains may depart and the hills be removed,
but my steadfast love shall not depart from you,
and my covenant of peace shall not be removed,"
says the Lord, who has compassion on you.
Isaiah 54:10 ESV

Those who trust Him...
lean their thoughts toward Him...
and reap the benefit of peace...

Not just any peace...
but perfect peace...

The Hebrew reads...
shalom shalom...
double peace...
wholeness of your wholeness...
all things set right...
all things secure and sound...
peace...

Where are your thoughts stayed...? leaning...?
What results from your thoughts...?

Trust Him...
lean your thoughts... mind... imagination...
toward Him...
and know... peace... peace...

Amen...
