If children,
heirs also, heirs of God
and fellow heirs with Christ |
IF
you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to
promise.
See how great a love
the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God --
You are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through
God.--He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself,
according to the kind intention of His will,
Father, I
desire that they also, whom Thou hast given Me, be with Me where I am, in
order that they may behold My glory, which Thou hast given Me
He who
overcomes, and he who keeps My deeds until the end, TO HIM I WILL GIVE
AUTHORITY OVER THE NATIONS-- He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit
down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on
His throne.

The base
things of the world
and the despised, God has chosen |
WHY,
are not all these who are speaking Galileans?... Jesus saw two brothers,
Simon.. called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the
sea...and He said to them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.
--Now as they observed the confidence of Peter and Jn, and understood that
they were uneducated and untrained men, they were marveling, and began to
recognize them as having been with Jesus.
My message
and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in
demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not rest on
the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.
You did not choose
Me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit.
He who abides in Me, and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart from Me
you can do nothing.--We have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the
surpassing greatness of the power may be of God and not from ourselves

OUR
DAILY WALK
by F. B. Meyer |

July 3
SERVICE FOR OTHERS
"Neglect not the gift that
is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on
of the hands of the presbytery. Be diligent in these things."--
1Ti 4:14-15
(R.V.).
"Stir up the gift of God,
which is in thee through the laying on of my hands."--
2Ti 1:6 (R.V.).
MOST YOUNG people are fond
of athletics, and the Roman and Greek youth were specially
addicted to them. The Divine Spirit does not under-value any of
these means for keeping our physical health vigorous. But if we
pay such earnest attention to these things we ought, all the more,
to give attention to godliness, which disciplines the soul for
Eternal Life. We all know what it is to discover and bring into
play certain muscles of the body which we had not previously used.
Are we equally keen to discover the hidden properties and
resources of the soul and spirit?
Timothy was gifted in
various ways, but specially for public ministry; and in this
Epistle and the next, the Apostle bids him stir it up, i.e. stir
into flame (marg.). The fire may be well provided with coal, the
heat and light may be present, but the poker needs to be used to
let in the air. We may have gifts, but we must carefully practise
the duties in which they can be used for the benefit of others. It
becomes us all to give ourselves to the duties which lie
immediately to our hands, not shirking or scamping them. We must
not give part of our thought and care to our appointed tasks, but
give our whole selves. What our hands find to do must be done with
our might. Just as men build arches of brick over slight
structures of wood, and when these are taken away the substantial
material remains, so on the passing duties of an hour we are
building up habits and character which will live for ever. What we
do is comparatively unimportant, but how we do what we do is
all-important. We must always be on guard, always on the alert,
for we have in our hands the interests of others as well as our
own ( 1Ti 4:16).
The grace of God can so
reveal itself in a young man or girl, that he or she will become
an example in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity ( 1Ti 4:12).
PRAYER
Prosper us, O God, we pray
Thee, in all that we put our hands unto. May our hearts be filled
with Thy love, our lips with gentle, helpful words, and our hands
with kind, unselfish deeds. May Thy Holy Spirit in all things
direct and rule our hearts. AMEN. |

FAITH'S CHECKBOOK

July 3
A Guide All
the Way
"He will be
my guide even unto death" (Psalm 48:14).
We need a guide. Sometimes we would give all that we have to be told
exactly what to do and where to turn. We are willing to do right, but we
do not know which one of two roads we are to follow. Oh, for a guide! The
LORD our God condescends to serve us as guide. He knows the way and will
pilot us along it till we reach our journey's end in peace. Surely we do
not desire more infallible direction. Let us place ourselves absolutely
under His guidance, and we shall never miss our way. Let us make Him our
God, and we shall find Him our guide. If we follow His law we shall not
miss the right road of life, provided we first learn to lean upon Him in
every step that we take. Our comfort is that as He is our God forever and
ever, He will never cease to be with us as our guide. "Even unto death"
will He lead us, and then we shall dwell with Him eternally and go no more
out forever. This promise of divine guidance involves lifelong security:
salvation at once, guidance unto our last hour, and then endless
blessedness. Should not each one seek this in youth, rejoice in it in
middle life, and repose in it in old age? This day let us look up for
guidance before we trust ourselves out-of-doors.

MY ELDER BROTHER
Hebrews 2.9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18.
AND doth my Lord call me one of His brethren? Let me leisurely think upon
it, until my very soul moves amid my affairs in noble and hallowed
dignity. If I steadily remember “who I am,” it will assuredly transfigure
“what I am.” I lose the sense of my high kinship, and then I am quite
content to be “sent into the fields to feed swine.”
And my elder Brother came to “destroy the works of the devil.” That is the
entire ministry of destruction. Nothing beautiful does He destroy, nothing
winsome: only the insidious presences which are the foes of these things.
He will destroy only the pestiferous microbes which ravage the vital peace
of the soul. Our Lord is the enemy of the deadly, and therefore of “him
that had the power of death—that is, the devil!”
And in this holy ministry of destruction He can defend my soul as “one who
knows,” Himself “having been tempted.” He knows the subtlety of the devil,
and where the soul is most perilously exposed, and He is therefore “able
to succour them that are tempted.” |

Periodic Quotes...
In light of the growing global
recession that is leaving no one untouched, you might consider
listening to Dr. John Piper's timely message (Feb 1, 2009) to the
Body of Christ (you can read it but I recommend listening if you
have the time)...
2Cor 1:1-12 What Is
the Recession For? (click)
Steven Cole
also has
an excellent message based on Psalm 49 addressing the current
economic crisis.

the Recession (click)
Righteousness
exalts a nation,
but sin is a disgrace to any people.
Proverbs
14:34
A Prayer
For Our Nation
May
the Spirit of holiness prompt all who read it to join in solemn,
earnest intercession on behalf of America (cp Joel 1:14, 2:15)...
Heavenly Father, we
come before you today to ask Your forgiveness and to seek Your
direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who
call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done. We have
lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We have
exploited the poor and called it the lottery. We have rewarded
laziness and called it welfare. We have killed our unborn and
called it choice. We have shot abortionists and called it
justifiable. We have neglected to discipline our children and
called it building self esteem. We have abused power and called
it politics. We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called
it ambition. We have polluted the air with profanity and
pornography and called it freedom of expression. We have
ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it
enlightenment. Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today;
cleanse us from every sin and set us free (in Christ Jesus our
Lord). Amen!
Note:
Some have attributed
this prayer to Billy Graham, but others attribute it (or a similar
prayer) to Joe Wright and still others to a prayer by Bob Russell
before the Kansas House of Representatives in 1996 - God knows who
prayed it, so that is not the real issue...Our Father desires to
hear all of His children crying out with similar contrition and
brokenness over our sins against His holy Name...
First of all, then, I urge
that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made
on behalf of all men, for kings and all who are in authority, in
order that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness
and dignity. (1Ti 2:1,2, cp Daniel's great prayer in Da
9:3-19)
