Good day everyone and rejoice in the Lord always and Again I say rejoice. This is a new day that has never been experienced before. Use it to glorify the Lord in any way you can.
TODAY’S PRAYER
Father, the Psalmist has said: “Because you have made the Lord your refuge, the Most High your habitation, no evil shall befall you, no scourge shall come near your tent.” Help us not to be so busy emphasizing “no evil shall befall you” that we fail to note that it is “because you have made the Lord your refuge.” Only if we truly make You our refuge, the center of our life, only then can You guide us and keep us in Your care. In the wonderful name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
Let’s eat.
FOUR SEALS
-Man’s Sins Sealed-
Job 14:13-17 –
“I wish you would hide me in the grave and forget me there until your anger has passed. But mark your calendar to think of me again! Can the dead live again? If so, this would give me hope through all my years of struggle, and I would eagerly await the release of death. You would call and I would answer, and you would yearn for me, your handiwork. For then you would guard my steps, instead of watching for my sins. My sins would be sealed in a pouch, and you would cover my guilt.
-For Judgment, the Savior Sealed-
John 6:35-37 –
Jesus replied, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. But you haven’t believed in me even though you have seen me. However, those the Father has given me will come to me, and I will never reject them.
-For Sacrifice the Believer’s Seal-
John 3:31-33 –
“He has come from above and is greater than anyone else. We are of the earth, and we speak of earthly things, but he has come from heaven and is greater than anyone else. He testifies about what he has seen and heard, but how few believe what he tells them! Anyone who accepts his testimony can affirm that God is true.
-Seal of Faith God’s Seal-
Eph. 1:12-13 –
God’s purpose was that we Jews who were the first to trust in Christ would bring praise and glory to God. And now you Gentiles have also heard the truth, the Good News that God saves you. And when you believed in Christ, he identified you as his own by giving you the Holy Spirit, whom he promised long ago.
-Seal of the Spirit-
Sins recorded and sealed await the Judgment. The Seal on the Son of God bears witness to His fitness as Sacrifice and Savior. The believer sets to His seal that God is true when he receives His record, and God sets His seal upon him, making and claiming him as His own.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
“The present is very precious; these are the days of salvation; now is the acceptable time. How sad that you do not spend the time in which you might purchase everlasting life in a better way. The time will come when you will want just one day, just one hour in which to make amends, and do you know whether you will obtain it?”
