Grace, Peace, and Deliverance
As we begin the New Year of 2025 and observe the Lord’s Supper on this first Lord’s Day of the year, let us consider several things from the opening verses of Paul’s epistle to the Galatians.

The Purpose of Trials
Remember, O child of God, that all things are working together for your good even though they do not appear that way. Remember that God is cultivating Christ-likeness in you through what you are going through. Remember that Christ Jesus, your Lord and elder brother, will never leave you to fend for yourself. Nothing can separate you from His love for you, for He has already laid His life down for you. Amen.
Jesus Wept
33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled, 34 And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see. 35 Jesus wept. 36 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him! 37 And some of […]
Perfect Peace
Though God has begun to build the New Jerusalem, it pleases Him to bring us through a season wherein we will still suffer various trials and tribulations. But thank God we do not have to face them the way the world may. We do not need to be unsettled, fearful, apprehensive, pretentious, dissatisfied, disgruntled, whiny or grouchy. We can walk with joy, peace and hope.

But in the midst of it is one of the most beautiful and comforting verses in the bible.
The Eyes and Ears of the Lord
The LORD is against them that do evil and will cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. But He is a merciful God. He will hear the cries of all who come to Him in contrition and broken-heartedness.
Guardian Angels
The Lord Jesus was tempted in all points like are we are. He felt the desperation and fears we feel, but he was able to continue to the cross with confidence.
The Lord is my Shepherd
Dearly beloved sheep of Christ, if you have Christ as your Shepherd and hear His voice and follow Him closely, all is well. You can sing Psalm 23 with genuine affection and confidence in your heart.
Grace Alone
We have been rescued from the greatest possible evil and we have been blessed with the greatest possible good. What more can we ask for? Surely, the least we can do is to be grateful to Him and to be filled with amazement at what He has done for us!
