God Wants To Do Something Special Through You Today!

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls, and upon finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it” (Matthew 13:45-46).

Hey Gang, I find it refreshing to stop and turn the world off and zero in on what the Holy Spirit is trying to tell me. One of the great joys of sending out these daily messages is that it keeps me focused on the wondrous road maps that I find in the Word each day. God has been so faithful in pointing out those “pearls of great price” that He has hidden throughout His Word. We must hunt them, and in hunting we suddenly find that we have grown closer and deeper to our Shepherd.

In my many years of reaching out to hurting people, it has always amazed me that so any choose to carry their burdens alone when we have the amazing promise, “Like a Shepherd He will tend His flock, in His arm He will gather the lambs and carry them in His bosom. He will gently lead the nursing ewes” (Isaiah 40:11).

I ask those who are heavy laden “Do you not know? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth does not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable”. Doesn't that make you want to sing to the Lord a new song?

But notice, Isaiah does not leave it there, he went on “He gives strength to the weary and tired, and to him who lacks might He increases power”. How many out there realize that without God’s strength and power in us we are competing against a stacked deck.

And Isaiah closes this segment with, in my humble opinion, one of the most powerful verses in the Word “Yet those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary.” (v.31)

Soooo, friends and neighbors, have you taken on your new feathers that allow you to soar in the heavenlies or are you land locked. Are you dependent on the one you see each morning in the mirror, or have you placed your trust in the One who “sits above the circle of the earth” … who “ reduces rulers to nothing, Who makes the judges of the earth meaningless”. And so I ask myself, “Whom will I serve this day?”

Blessings
