January 21st

Today's Morning devotional reminds us of the precious doctrine of the perseverance of the saints. All of God's people traveled safely through the walls of water to safety. We know that as Christians, not one of us will perish. He will never leave us or forsake us! He began a good work in us and He will be faithful to complete it. This doctrine is clearly taught in Scripture. Our salvation is based on the assurance of an unchanging God. He is the all-powerful Author, and the faithful Finisher of our faith.

For our Evening devotion, we see that He is faithful to us in our daily lives as well. We are so quick to forget His faithfulness. Like Sampson, we see God do great wonders in our lives, and then we stress out over the little things, as if they are too difficult for Him. Trust the Lord with your eternity, and trust Him with your circumstances at this particular moment. Trust Him for your salvation, and trust Him at this time with your financial, health, relational, or any other needs that may arise. God is honored as we trust Him and praise Him for His constant faithfulness! Have a wonderful day!

Pastor Kevin

Spurgeon says:

The road of sorrow is the road to heaven, but there are wells of refreshing water all along the route.

I'm reminded of Psalm 84:

Psa 84:5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, Whose heart is set on pilgrimage.
Psa 84:6 As they pass through the Valley of Baca, They make it a spring; The rain also covers it with pools.
Psa 84:7 They go from strength to strength; Each one appears before God in Zion.

We go through dry times (Baca) in our walk with the Lord, but He always provides the relief, when we go from 'our strength' to 'His strength'.
