In The Beginning

"In the beginning was the Word . . ."

John 1:1

Today's Bible Reading: Genesis 1:1 & John 1:1.

When we examine Genesis 1:1 and John 1:1 together, we see a clear and harmonious connection between the creation account and the revelation of Jesus Christ. Both verses point to the preexistence of God and emphasise His role as the Creator. They reveal that the Lord Jesus, the Word, was present with God in the beginning and was Himself God, actively involved in the creation of all things.

In John 1:3, speaking of the Lord Jesus, the Bible says: “All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.”

These verses provide a foundation for understanding God's creative power and His divine plan of redemption through Jesus Christ. They remind us that all things—both the physical world and the spiritual realm—find their origin and purpose in Him. They call us to marvel at the wisdom and majesty of our Creator, and to recognise the significance of Jesus Christ as the eternal Word and the embodiment of God's salvation for sinners..  

Prayer: High and Mighty God, the heavens and the earth, bear witness to Your divine handiwork. . Help me understand the significance of the Lord Jesus as the eternal Word. Guide me to be a good steward of Your creation and to follow Christ's teachings. In His name I pray. Amen.

Sunday Gladness

I was glad when they said unto me,

"Let us go into the house of the Lord.”

Psalm 122:1

Today's Bible Reading:  Hebrews 10:19-15.

A lot of people get what I call “Sunday-sickness." Do you know what Sunday-sickness is? It attacks the victim shortly before breakfast on Sunday morning. It is accompanied by a feeling of weakness and lethargy. Sometimes the victim has a slight headache which is aggravated by the ringing of the church bells. But the disease is of short duration, usually disappearing about noon, when the victim is able to eat a full dinner. But the symptoms usually appear again around late Sunday afternoon, and then disappear until next Sunday morning.

But, for them that truly love the Lord, Sunday is a day to be glad. Psalm 122:1, expresses the delight and eagerness that believers feel when gathering in the presence of the Lord. It highlights the significance and value of communal worship and fellowship among the faithful. The psalmist's response of gladness implies a deep appreciation for the opportunity to connect with God and fellow believers in the local Assembly of God's people.

Psalm 122:1 captures the joyous response of the psalmist upon the invitation to enter the house of the Lord. It reminds us of the privilege and delight found in communal worship and encourages us to approach the presence of God with gladness and anticipation.

Where will you be this Sunday?

Prayer: Heavenly Father, Son and Holy Spirt, ever three and ever One. May I always have the gladness that David had, as each Sunday I prepare to worship You in Your house, Amen.

Faith That Overcomes

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,

the evidence of things not seen."

Hebrews 1:1

Today's Bible Reading: ebrews 11:17-19.

Abraham was tested when God asked him to sacrifice his beloved son, Isaac. Despite the difficulty of the command, Abraham displayed unwavering faith and obedience. In Genesis 22:12, God said to Abraham, "Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me." Abraham's faith teaches us the importance of trusting God even in the most challenging circumstances. 

In our journey of faith, we may face trials that seem impossible to overcome. We may encounter situations where God's instructions appear to contradict our desires and expectations. Yet, like Abraham, we are called to trust in God's sovereignty and believe that He is able to do the impossible. 

Abraham's faith was tested when he was asked to sacrifice his son, Isaac. It was a command that seemed to defy reason and break his heart. But instead of questioning or doubting God, Abraham chose to trust Him completely. He believed that God had the power to raise Isaac from the dead if necessary. 

This kind of faith is remarkable and inspiring. It goes beyond mere belief and enters into the realm of absolute trust. It recognizes that God's ways are higher than ours, and His plans are perfect, even if we cannot fully comprehend them. 

Abraham's faith challenges us to examine our own trust in God. Are we willing to obey even when His commands are difficult or seemingly impossible? Do we truly believe that He is able to bring about miracles in our lives?

Prayer: Heavenly Father, strengthen my faith and help me trust in Your plans even when they are beyond my understanding. Help me cultivate a faith that overcomes all obstacles and believes in Your power to bring forth miracles. In Christ's name, I pray, Amen.
