August 1st – Ruth 2:21

Ruth 2:21

Pastor John Bunyan said, “You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.” As an attribute of God, kindness is an important theme throughout the Bible. And perfectly exampled by Boaz, a wealthy man from Bethlehem. God had been good to Boaz, blessing him with much. So when he saw the less fortunate Ruth, he allowed her to glean in his fields. And not stopping there, he ordered his men to leave extra for her to glean, gave her food, and offered her protection. Boaz did all of this out of obedience and thankfulness for the kindness God show him. A kindness He shows daily to us as well. One we could never deserve, yet freely given by God just the same. So today won’t you join in me being a Boaz? And reach out to someone in kindness for kindness, and God’s sake!

June 12th – John 16:33

John 16:33
I love the quote by preacher John Bunyan which says, “Temptations, when we meet them at first, are as the lion that roared upon Samson; but if we overcome them, the next time we see them we shall find a nest of honey within them.” The world is full of temptations and trials. And life for Christians has been promised by Jesus to be anything but easy. (John 16:1-4) Yet because the Lord has overcome the world, through Him, we can face anything. And the things that once tripped us up, we can overcome. To overcome means “to carry off the victory.” And that’s exactly what Jesus has done. He is the great Overcomer. And by the grace of God, He let’s us participate in that victory. So no matter what we face, if we remember the promises of the Lord, we can win every test and overcome every scheme of the Enemy.

The Fear Of The Lord Is A Blessing – Psalm 34 

Psalm 34 

Referring to the fear of the Lord, preacher John Bunyan said, “Christian, let God’s distinguishing love be a motive to you to fear Him greatly. He has put fear in your heart, and may not have given that blessing to your neighbor, perhaps not to your husband, your wife, your child, or your parent. Oh, what an obligation should this thought lay upon your heart to greatly fear the Lord! Remember also that this fear of the Lord is His treasure, a choice jewel, given only to favorites, and to those who are greatly beloved.” …
