Anchored Day 13 When The World Is At Stake

Leave a Comment

Read His Words Before Ours!

Psalm 95:2-5
Matthew 28:16-20
Colossians 4:2-6
1 Corinthians 16:9-10

Anchored, Day 13

Our world is dying.
Those of us walking with Jesus know the narrow road to life,
and we are commissioned to invite the perishing around us on the
journey to life everlasting. (Matthew 7:13-14)

The stakes couldn’t be higher.

This urgency drove Paul’s words to the Colossian church in chapter 4.
Having laid a foundation for Godly living in chapter 3, Paul now invites the Colossians to broaden their perspective to the lost world stretching out before them.

“Fellow saints,” he seems to say, “remember your transformation is unto transferral:
the transferral of lost souls from the Kingdom of Darkness into the Kingdom of Light.”

Paul extends the hand of ministry partnership to Colossian believers.
He begins by highlighting the power of prayer, fundamentally understanding the success of his local evangelism depends on a suffusion of supernatural power garnered by prayers of distant believers.

So too for us, sisters!
While evangelism may not be our main vocation, we are not sidelined!
Our supportive role is critical to the work of those on the mission field.
When the world is at stake, our prayers matter.

But how should we pray?
Verse 2 of this passage provides three main guidelines for powerful, supportive prayer.

First, we are to be STEADFAST in our prayers for those sharing the Gospel.
Consistency in prayer exponentially strengthens both the pray-er (growing both motivation and intensity within her) and the recipient.

Next, we are to be WATCHFUL in prayer.
When we get busy praying, the enemy gets busy opposing us. We need to be alert to his strategies, which he’s crafty enough to tailor to each of us. Head on a swivel, sisters, let’s fight to protect our prayers.

And finally, we are to be THANKFUL in prayer.
While the view from the trenches may be discouraging at times, it’s important to remember that ultimately, the victory has already been won. As we reflect on our testimonies, we are reminded God has been faithful and will be again.
We find ourselves infused with fresh hope and strength for the fight.

We’re ready to be consistent in our prayers,
alert to the strategies of the enemy to thwart us,
and gratefully confident that in the epic struggle for the world,
our God has already been declared Victor.
We’re ready to pray.

But what should we pray?
Verses 3-4 provide timely guidance.

First, Paul requests prayer “also for us”.
Again, this refers to those whose main vocation is spreading the Gospel, whether local or far distant. Specifically, Paul shares a deep desire to make the most of “open door” moments: those special opportunities to share Jesus in unusually effective ways. These are not day-to-day conversations with a single person, but rather unique openings to minister on a large scale.

In every interaction, Paul longs to declare the mystery of Christ in a way that makes it clear. Some people may have been taught a wrong understanding of the Gospel.
Others may have no frame of reference at all and find it overwhelming.
Paul seeks wisdom to spread the word of God in a way that is relatable to each person he encounters.

So, as we pray for our missionaries, let’s ask God to create open doors for the exponentially effective move of the Gospel.
Let’s ask Him to give those on the front line precisely the right words
to make clear the heart of the Father.

In the last few verses of this passage, Paul moves instructs the Colossians
how they ought to share Jesus.

Because of course, evangelism is not just for missionaries.
Each and every one of us have been commissioned
to engage in everyday, ordinary ways of sharing
the most extraordinary story ever told.

“The time has come,” Paul seems to say, “to put all of your learning, all of your discipline, all of your growth, into action. Being transformed into the Father’s image means your heart also becomes more like His, broken for His lost children. Go now; it’s time to act.”

Walk in wisdom toward outsiders,
making the best use of the time.
Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt,
so that you may know how you ought to answer each person. (Colossians 4:5-6)

Right off the bat, Paul encourages us with the simple command to engage those outside the family of believers. Time is short, and every interaction matters.
Therefore, Paul explains, wisdom is paramount.

Where is this person in the process of salvation?
What action on my part would be most beneficial
for this person
in this moment?

Perhaps my role is to sew a seed, leaving the harvest for another worker. (1 Corinthians 3:5-9) Or perhaps this is the moment of decision, and I ought to press on.
God’s timing is perfect, and my desire is to move in step with Him as He leads.

Furthermore, operating in the Father’s wisdom and listening the Spirit’s whisper allows our words to be seasoned in a way that makes the Gospel most powerful in each interaction. Because it isn’t about us, this is God’s Work!

A highly effective approach with one person might prove detrimental with another.
Before we’re overwhelmed by the weightiness of what lies ahead, remember we have God on our side. He created each soul; He is perfectly capable of leading us as His Spirit courts each one for the Kingdom.

When the world is at stake, the power of prayer is critical
along with a willing obedience to go.
Let us meet the Lord on our knees,
hear His whispers in our hearts,
and take Him with us to the streets.

Bride Day 10 The Unrepentant Life

Leave a Comment

Read His Words Before Ours!

Psalm 51:10
Hosea 6
Romans 1:18-28

Bride, Day 10

I’m currently walking through a season of being still before the Lord.

After years of heartache, frustration, questions, and emptiness, the time has come for me to stop talking to the Lord about all the wrong in my life and
start listening to His truth and who He says I am.

I felt strongly that in order to start off this season of quiet, I first needed to repent.
To cleanse my heart of all that had a hold of it.
And so I sat down and listed them off, one by one.

God, I am sorry for thinking that I can be the best mom, wife, friend, sister, daughter, while serving on worship team, writing for a blog, and leading a small group without spending enough time in loving union with You.
Self-Reliant.

God, I am sorry for not acknowledging You for the help that we have received in the midst of job transitions, church commitments, being out of town, or a simple date night. None of those would have been possible without You.
Thankless.

God, I am sorry for not listening to you when You told me to keep loving my husband and serving him the way You have called me to.
Selfish

I’m sorry for not extending grace to my daughter as she stops to learn something new, causing us to be late yet again.
Prideful.

God, I am sorry for using the gift that You have given to me without letting You be used through me every single time.
Arrogance.

I was blind to how my sin added a soul crushing burden to my everyday life. Looking over the list I had just made I knew it was time to hear what the Lord wanted to say, and so with that, I turned the page.

And isn’t that so true of all of us?
We walk this life carrying bitterness towards someone who offended us years prior.
We hold grudges towards our spouse because of something said in an argument.
We try and navigate our life without the One who is the Giver of life, because we feel we are better guides.

We have become a people who think if we haven’t done ‘wrong’ by worldly standards,
or by the girl’s next door,
then we haven’t done wrong at all.
But sweet friend that isn’t true.

The Father’s heart is for His children to come back to Him,
releasing the sin that we have a hold of.
The sin that has a hold of us.

As we’ve journeyed through the book of Hosea for the last two weeks we can see an overall theme of unrepentance woven throughout. From Gomer, to Israel, to us as God’s people, unrepentant hearts are the constant.

In fact, the heading in my Bible over chapter six says:
A Call to Repentance
“Come, let us return to the Lord;
for He has torn us, that He may heal us;
He has struck us down, and He will bind us up.
After two days He will revive us;
On the third day He will raise us up,
That we may live before Him.
Let us know; let us press on to know the Lord;
His going out is sure as the dawn;
He will come to us as the showers,
As the spring rains that water the earth.”
Hosea 6:1-3

Charles Spurgeon notes in his commentary of this passage:
Tender fathers seek first to train their children by gentle means.

The Lord, in His patience, dealt kindly with His stumbling Israel, sending them favor after favor and blessing after blessing. But the more He multiplied His blessings, the more they multiplied their iniquities.
So they spent the mercies of God in sacrifice to their idols and committed transgressions with the false gods of the heathen, consuming with their lusts the mercies God had sent to bring them to repentance.

Walking through this season of being still before the Lord,
of being called back to repentance,
has caused me to realize all of the areas in my life that
I had taken God’s mercies for granted.

And as I turned that page in my story, falling before the throne of the God, with tears, with a broken heart over my sin,
do you know what I didn’t hear?
Condemnation.

You know what I didn’t feel?
Pushback

Oh I surely deserved it.
Sisters, our Holy God is rightfully wrathful to the offensiveness of our sin! (link rom 1:18)
I deserved much worse when I look face to face upon the sin I have loved and then compare it to the pure, un-adulterated, endless holiness of the Lord God Almighty.

But no.
In that moment as I turned my unrepentance into repentance, there was….
Peace.
Forgiveness.
Intimacy.
Love.

Because His wrath against my sin had already been pacified.
With blood.
Not mine, but my Savior’s.

Forgiveness is mine because my Savior pursued me, even in my sin, He pursued.
He fought for me.
He chased me, again and again and again.
And when I turned,
He. Was. There.

With peace.
With forgiveness.
With intimacy restored.
With love un-imaginable.

And right there is the tragedy of Gomer and Hosea.
Of Israel and her Shepherd King, Yahweh.
Love was waiting.
But she kept running.

Israel’s story, Gomer’s story, they don’t have to be ours.
Turn around, sister, lay your sins, one by one, right there at the foot of the cross of Christ,
and stand forgiven, redeemed, and at peace with the Almighty God!

Worship II Day 10 Finding Life

1 Comment

Read His Words Before Ours!

Psalm 36:5-12
Psalm 95
Mark 4:1-20
Philippians 2:12-13
2 Thessalonians 2:16-17

There’s something about autumn days that makes my heart glad. Along with its vivid colors that emerge everywhere this time of year, I’m also rejuvenated by the constant messages of how important it is to maintain a thankful heart. Even in the midst of the greed in our nation, many Americans take the opportunity during this season to express their gratefulness to God for their abundance.

If you have attended a US church service during November, you may have sung the hymn written by Henry Alford, “Come Ye Thankful People Come”. It’s often sung during the Thanksgiving season as a song of praise to God for a bountiful harvest. However, there is a much deeper truth that I had never noticed until I meditated on the words of all the verses. The message of the song causes us to consider whether we are sincerely thankful people of God (wheat) or are only going through the motions (tares/weeds). If we’re redeemed, our thankfulness should not be limited to a prayer we voice at an annual family gathering.

Come, ye thankful people, come, raise the song of harvest home.
All is safely gathered in, ere the winter storms begin.
God our Maker doth provide for our wants to be supplied;
Come to God’s own temple, come, raise the song of harvest home.

I seldom use the word, but I am quite sure that a “bountiful” yield would have great impact on those who work the land all summer, hoping for an abundant crop to provide for them through the winter. These words invite us into the celebration of the gatherers.
I didn’t grow up day to day with much of a harvester mentality, though my grandfather was quite a gardener. I have fond memories of my childhood visits with my grandparents during the summer. Before we ate, they always bowed and thanked God for the “good garden”.
Oh come…Let us come into His presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to Him with songs of praise … let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker! (Psalm 95:1-6)
Our Creator Father invites us to daily feast on His goodness and the provision of salvation. He has supplied us with all we need for our souls to be filled.

Come, thankful people.
Come to Jesus … and live.

All the world is God’s own field, fruit as praise to God we yield;
wheat and tares together sown are to joy or sorrow grown;
first the blade and then the ear, then the full corn shall appear;
Lord of harvest, grant that we wholesome grain and pure may be.

Even the farmer doesn’t fully grasp the mystery of gardening. Jesus spoke about this process in a parable: “This is what the kingdom of God is like…” (Mark 4:26-29)

Jesus said that His kingdom is like a worker who plants the seed and waits for the produce. Ultimately, our sovereign God works in the heart of man to produce people who reflect His glory. We can’t fully comprehend this.

While I wait for His return, He continues the work of making me pure.
Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure. (Philippians 2:12-13)
He is working in us in ways we can’t see, making us like His Son.

Come, thankful people.
Come to Jesus … and live.

For the Lord our God shall come, and shall take the harvest home.
From the field shall in that day all offenses purge away,
giving angels charge at last in the fire the tares to cast;
but the fruitful ears to store in the garner evermore.

Even so, Lord, quickly come, bring thy final harvest home.
Gather Thou Thy people in, free from sorrow, free from sin.
There, forever purified, in Thy presence to abide.
Come, with all Thine angels, come, raise the glorious harvest home.

If there’s anything that should cause the people of God to come with thankful hearts in worship, it’s the promise that He’s preparing a place for us. One day, the Son will return for His bride and the Church of Christ will make its home with Him forever. We will live eternally in a place where nothing will hide His glory or goodness. But with this good news is the reality that for those who do not put the full weight of their hope in Jesus, it will not be glorious.
Just as the weeds are gathered and burned with fire, so will it be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all causes of sin and all law-breakers, and throw them into the fiery furnace…Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father.” (Matthew 13:40-43)

The reality is that there will be a day of separation.
So, it is with grateful hearts that we fall on Jesus – the Way, the Truth and the Life.
He will gather the redeemed to Himself forever.

Come, thankful people.
Come to Jesus … and live.

Worship II Day 8 Overflowing Heart

19 Comments

Read His Words Before Ours!

Psalm 19
Psalm 104
John 17:20-23
Romans 5:12-17
Colossians 1:16-17

Give thanks!
Have an Attitude of Gratitude!
Count your Blessings!

We see these short comments of thanksgiving everywhere, spilling onto journals, tote-bags, books, cards, home décor and more.  There’s nothing plainly wrong with the commercial use of these phrases.  I know I need visual correctives for my ever-wandering heart.  Could it be, though, in our culture of short, pithy, decorative statements, we’re quick to gulp down the words without processing their weight and worth?
Do we pause to consider what true thanksgiving is and where it comes from?

I ask this because I recognize I’m not able to simply make myself more thankful.  I can’t muster it up, (for long). I can’t just put on gratitude like I throw one of those tote-bags over my shoulder.  I’m not able, and you’re not either.

And yet, God’s will is for us to give thanks in all circumstances (I Thess 5:18).
God always supplies what we need to obey what He’s commanded,
so how do we reconcile this tension?

Consider that, just as the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 1:7),
the soul rooted in humility is the beginning of thanksgiving.

Andrew Murray, in his book Humility, explains,
“Humility comes when we see how truly God is all, and in which we make way for God to be all…..humility is simply acknowledging the truth of man’s position as creature, and yielding to God in His place.”

How do we see that God is truly all, and all has come from Him?

HIS GIFT OF EARTH’S BEAUTY
The Nineteenth century hymn-writer Folliot Pierpoint helps us as he reflected on the gifts God has generously given.  Pierpoint was one day walking through the countryside admiring God’s creation. He was so overcome by God’s glory revealed that it inspired him to write the beautiful hymn, For the Beauty of the Earth.

For the beauty of the earth,
for the glory of the skies,
for the love which from our birth
over and around us lies.
Christ, our Lord, to you we raise
this, our hymn of grateful praise. 

For the wonder of each hour
of the day and of the night,
hill and vale and tree and flower,
sun and moon and stars of light,
Christ, our Lord, to you we raise
this, our hymn of grateful praise. 

King David captured the same response to God’s gift of earthly beauty in Psalm 19:1-6 when he spoke of all the earth declares about God.  Both of these men saw God’s glory-revealing gift of creation, and it produced a humility of position before their Maker, which in turn produced the only possible response: praise and thanks to the One from which it all came.

When was the last time you took in creation simply to see,
wonder at, and give thanks for it?  

HIS GIFTS TO THE CHURCH
God has also lavished the church with His good gifts. Humans were never meant to live alone. God designed us for community from the beginning (Genesis 2:18).  Sharing our lives with and encouraging brothers and sisters in Christ brings us nearer to God (Proverbs 27:17).  Just as the Godhead Trinity gives us a beautiful picture of unity, submission, and community, so God gifts us with the same unified relationships as we submit to Him (John 17:20-23). Pierpoint continued on to speak of these relationships in the following verse:

For the joy of human love,
brother, sister, parent, child,
friends on earth, and friends above,
for all gentle thoughts and mild,
Christ, our Lord, to you we raise
this, our hymn of grateful praise. 

Seeing God’s glory revealed through His people, though imperfect, helps us rightly give praise to Him for the gift that these fellow souls are.
Could this “seeing” be the end of biting comments, critical spirits and petty arguments?  Could seeing the gift of God’s grace covering our imperfect relationships, give us praise-producing humility?
Let’s allow Jesus’ pleading-prayer for us to be a reality
and we’ll praise Him for what He’ll do!

HIS BEST GIFT DIVINE
“For God so loved the world that He gave….” (John 3:16).  He gave, He gave, He gave.  The most precious gift God gave was His only Son, Jesus Christ.  This incredible gift ushered in a thousand more. Pierpoint rightly placed the climax of his reflection and praise for Christ Himself in the final verse of his hymn:

For yourself, best gift divine,
to the world so freely given,
agent of God’s grand design:
peace on earth and joy in heaven.
Christ, our Lord, to you we raise
this, our hymn of grateful praise. 

Romans 5:12-17 rightly shows us the despair of our sin without Christ.  Our position is one of hopelessness, need, and inability because of the death that began reigning through the first man. Seeing the reality of this humble state of our soul however, produces a rich, overflowing place of gratitude for God’s abundant, new life provided through Christ .

We, who are so needy and undeserving, have a heavenly Father who displayed His generosity in a thousand ways!
Let the humility of this reality produce thanksgiving that runs rich!

Holy Spirit, open the eyes of our hearts to see Your glory in creation, to recognize the gift of Your people, and to ultimately acknowledge how great a war was won with the best gift divine, Jesus Himself.

Pause Day 5 Be My Portion

Leave a Comment

We worship the living, resurrected, all-powerful, all-knowing, all-present, KING of all creation.

What sets Christian worship apart from all other “religious worship” is this: the object of our affection is not only exceedingly worthy, He, as the Triune Godhead, is LIVING.
We do not worship a far off god.
We do not worship a god who was.
We do not worship a god we can fully comprehend or imagine.
Our God is so entirely “other”, we cannot begin to fathom Him.

Yet…
He is ever accessible.
Ever waiting.
Ever as close as the skin we are wrapped in.
He is the very with us God, while also being the God of grand invitation.

There is nothing He wants us to do on our own.
He simply waits, longing to reveal more of Himself and embrace us with His infinite love.

As we have dwelled on the passages of Psalms 142 and 143, we pray these truths have swept over you again and again.

Take time today to sink into the challenge below.
Delight in knowing that *you* are delighted over and worship Him with your whole being!

Psalm 142

With my voice I cry out to the Lord;
    with my voice I plead for mercy to the Lord.
2 I pour out my complaint before him;
    I tell my trouble before him.

3 When my spirit faints within me,
    you know my way!
In the path where I walk
    they have hidden a trap for me.
4 Look to the right and see:
    there is none who takes notice of me;
no refuge remains to me;
    no one cares for my soul.

5 I cry to you, O Lord;
    I say, “You are my refuge,
    my portion in the land of the living.”
6 Attend to my cry,
    for I am brought very low!
Deliver me from my persecutors,
    for they are too strong for me!
7 Bring me out of prison,
    that I may give thanks to your name!
The righteous will surround me,
    for you will deal bountifully with me.

Psalm 143

Hear my prayer, O Lord;
    give ear to my pleas for mercy!
    In your faithfulness answer me, in your righteousness!
2 Enter not into judgment with your servant,
    for no one living is righteous before you.

3 For the enemy has pursued my soul;
    he has crushed my life to the ground;
    he has made me sit in darkness like those long dead.
4 Therefore my spirit faints within me;
    my heart within me is appalled.

5 I remember the days of old;
    I meditate on all that you have done;
    I ponder the work of your hands.
6 I stretch out my hands to you;
    my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. Selah

7 Answer me quickly, O Lord!
    My spirit fails!
Hide not your face from me,
    lest I be like those who go down to the pit.
8 Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love,
    for in you I trust.
Make me know the way I should go,
    for to you I lift up my soul.

9 Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord!
    I have fled to you for refuge.[a]
10 Teach me to do your will,
    for you are my God!
Let your good Spirit lead me
    on level ground!

11 For your name’s sake, O Lord, preserve my life!
    In your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble!
12 And in your steadfast love you will cut off my enemies,
    and you will destroy all the adversaries of my soul,
    for I am your servant.
