You are Precious


“You are precious and honoured in my sight.”


Isaiah 43:4


Reading: Isaiah 43:1–7.


In Isaiah 43, God speaks as our Creator and as a Father. If you wonder whether He wants you to live under His care as part of His family, hear what He said to His people: “Bring my sons (and daughters) from afar and from the ends of the earth” (v 6). If you wonder what you are worth to Him, hear His affirmation: “You are precious and honoured in my sight” (v 4).


God loves us so much that He sent His Son Jesus Christ to pay the penalty of sin so that we who believe on Him can be with Him forever (John 3:16). Because of what He says and what He has done for us, we can have full confidence that He wants us and loves us. We are indeed, precious in His sight.


Prayer: Father, I want to live each day as Your child, precious and honoured in Your sight. In Jesus name. Amen.

Life Worth Living


"But these are written that you may believe t

hat Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God,

and that believing you may have life in His name".


John 20:31


Reading: John 20:30-31.


“Is life worth living”? To many people life has ceased to be worth living. To all of you I have good news. God did not create you to be a defeated, discouraged, frustrated, wandering soul, seeking in vain for peace of heart and peace of mind. He has bigger plans for you. He has a larger orb and a greater life for you.  


The answer to your problem, however great, is as near as your Bible, as simple as 1-2-3, and as real as your heartbeat. Upon the authority of God’s Word, I tell you that Christ is the answer to every baffling perplexity which plagues mankind. In Him is found the cure for care, a balm for bereavement, a healing for our hurts, and a sufficiency for our insufficiency. 



Prayer: Teach me, Lord, as today I read Your Word, that the life You would have me live is one of joy and fulfilment. In the name of the Lord Jesus I pray. Amen.

A Call to Comfort


"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

the Father of mercies and God of all comfort."

  

2 Corinthians 1:3.


Reading: 2 Corinthians 1:3-11.


When people suffer and we long to help, it is good to remember Paul’s word-picture of “the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ” as “the Father of mercies and God of all comfort” (2 Corinthians 1:3). Our heavenly Father is the ultimate source of every tender mercy, kind word, and helpful act that brings encouragement and healing. Bible scholar W. E. Vine says that paraklesis—the Greek word translated “comfort”—means “a calling to one’s side.” The words comfort and consolation appear repeatedly in today’s Bible reading as a reminder that the Lord holds us close and invites us to cling to Him.


As the Lord wraps His loving arms around us, we are able to embrace others “with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God” (v4).


In the depths of His love for us, God comforts us so that we can comfort others.



Prayer: Great Jehovah and Father, thank You for letting me share with Youmy worries and cares. I am grateful that You Lord God, stand beside me to comfort and guide. Help me to console others as You look out for Your own. In the name of the Lord Jesus I pray. Amen.
