Light in the Darkness

By Anonymous
Like a fog that mind sets on,
I do my tasks
Of all I'm asked,
So I walk the weary day long.

The world surrounds me where'er I roam.
Themselves they see,
Speaking blasphemy;
It stays in my thoughts as I go home.

I have no escape as time rushes by.
Devotions are lacking.
My soul is left wanting.
Read a verse or two, check the time, and sigh.

Where has my love for God gone?
I do virtuous deeds.
I fulfill all my needs.
Is He to me but a pawn?

Moments of seeking consume me.
God's voice I can't hear.
I pant as a deer.
Where is His face? I cannot see.

But I will remember His promises.
Though my way seems dark,
And my sin drawn stark,
I will hope and cling to His faithfulness.

Glory be to Christ! For He is holy.
Indescribable.
Incomparable.
To stand before Him, I am not worthy.

What no man can do, God can.
Each act that is chosen,
In every moment,
God's known and has fit in His plan.

Christ died for my sins; it is done.
'Cause I have been bought ,
And like a clay pot,
He forms me to reflect His Son.

So in every valley deep,
I will have no fear;
For I know God is near.
His word in my heart I do keep.

His children He will not forsake.
They're loved as much as Christ,
Which is by far the highest.
His grace to them He will not retake.

I repent from loving the cares of the world
More than God.
It's but sod.
May I see steadfast God's kingdom eternal.

And I turn from my lack of zeal.
Worship,
Adoring,
I my heart I pray to feel.

I will think on His name all the day long.
As I draw near,
His voice I will hear.
His sustaining power shall be my song.

 Sincerely, Brooke

Betrothed to Christ

By Anonymous
I was reading in Exodus and was reminded of the beautiful picture of Christ and His bride. In Exodus 21:7-11, you find a peculiar law about maidservants: 1) She does not bide by the same laws as the menservants, which can leave their master after six years. 2) If her master who has betrothed her to himself is not pleased  with her, he cannot sell her to the gentiles, but must let her be redeemed; because he has dealt unfaithfully and deceitfully with her. 3) If her master has betrothed her to his son, he must treat her like his daughter. 4) His son must provide for her food, clothes, and duty of marriage and cannot diminish them if he takes another wife. If he does, the maidservant can leave for free. Weird? Kind 'a, but it makes sense. Then God popped a thought into my head about Hosea. Hosea was a prophet who was told by God to marry a harlot to illustrate God's love for Israel. Now at one point Gomer, Hosea's wife, left him for another man and ended up getti...

Precious in God's Sight

By
John 12:43: "They loved the glory that comes from man more than the glory that comes from God."  This verse has been running through my head for a few weeks now. I included it in my last post, but honestly, it just boggles my mind. Well, not actually. I completely understand how the people this verse is talking about were deceived enough to believe that man's glory was more valuable than God's. Probably the reason it sticks with me is for fear that the same thing may be said about me some day. This summer, I was privileged to be in the girls' dorm at camp for two weeks. I always love being in the dorm because of the amazing opportunity it brings to study the Word of God and encourage one another. We usually read through a couple of the New Testament letters together in the evenings, (James being one of our favourites) but this year, we decided to read 1 Peter.  Some things stood out to me... "Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of h...

Ezekiel's prediction and Christ's fulfillment

By Anonymous
Ezekiel Chapter 4-5 There are four object lessons in this passage that display the type of judgement that was coming for Israel and Judah.  First (Ezekiel 4:1-3): Ezekiel was commanded to draw the map of Jerusalem on a clay brick and demonstrate how the city would be attacked and destroyed.  Second (Ezekiel 4:4-8): Ezekiel was commanded to lie on his left side for 390 days, symbolic of the 390 years Israel disobeyed God, and 40 days on his right side, symbolic of the 40 years Judah lived in rebellion against God; and do this while starring at the model of the siege of Jerusalem and prophesying against it. Third (Ezekiel 4:9-17): He was to prepare bread to ration out while he lied on his side and cook it over manure. This symbolized how God would make them eat defiled bread in the land of the gentiles where he would scatter them and where they would starve.  Fourth (Ezekiel 5:1-4): Ezekiel was commanded to shave his hair and divide it into three equal parts. 1/3 was...
