Gladness In Heart

 You have put gladness in my heart, More than in the season that their grain and wine increased - Psalm 4:7.

             There is fullness of joy in the presence of God. In Your presence is fullness of joy - Psalm 16:11. 1 Chronicles 16:27 says, “Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and joy in his dwelling place.” This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it - Psalm 118:24.

           God’s Word rejoices our heart. Your testimonies I have taken as a heritage forever, for they are the rejoicing of my heart - Psalm 119:111. Serving God brings us joy. Serve the LORD with gladness! Come into His presence with singing! - Psalm 100:2. The joy of the Lord is your strength - Nehemiah 8:10.

               Let there be gladness in our heart. A glad heart makes a cheerful countenance, but by sorrow of heart the spirit is broken - Proverbs 15:13. A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a downcast spirit dries up the bones - Proverbs 17:22. Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will rest in hope - Psalm 16:9.                                                        


PRAYER: Dear Lord, Let our heart be glad and rejoice every day. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Do Not Be Afraid Only Believe

 But when Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, “Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be made well” - Luke 8:50.

               Jairus, who was a ruler of the synagogue begged Jesus to come to his house as his only daughter was sick. And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at Jesus’ feet and begged Him to come to his house, for he had an only daughter about twelve years of age, and she was dying - Luke 8:41,42. On the way, Jesus healed the woman who had bleeding for twelve years.     

           Jesus came to know that Jairus’ daughter is dead while he was still speaking with the woman. He told Jairus not to be afraid but only to believe when. While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” he said. “Don’t bother the teacher anymore - Luke 8:49. For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind - 2 Timothy 1:7. I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live - John 11:25.

             Miracles happen as we do not fear but only believe. But He put them all outside, took her by the hand and called, saying, “Little girl, arise.” Then her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And He commanded that she be given something to eat. And her parents were astonished, but He charged them to tell no one what had happened - Luke 8:54-56. Everything is possible for one who believes - Mark 9:23.                                                        


PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us not to be afraid of any situation but to only believe. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

His Riches Are Unsearchable

To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ - Ephesians 3:8.

            The riches of God are unsearchable. We have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, the knowledge of the mystery of His will, the message of truth, the sealing of the Holy Spirit, and inheritance. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself - Ephesians 1:7-9.       

         God’s mercy, grace, love and wisdom are rich. But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus - Ephesians 2:4-7. The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love - Psalm 145:8. Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! - Romans 11:33.  

             The unsearchable riches of Christ provide salvation to everyone who believes. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life - John 3:16. It is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek - Romans 1:16. Let us thank God who has blessed with every spiritual blessing. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ - Ephesians 1:3.                                                    

PRAYER: Your riches are unsearchable. We thank You for blessing us with every spiritual blessing. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
