The LORD'S lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail.
They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. "The LORD is my portion," says my soul, "Therefore I have hope in Him." Lamentations 3:22-24

The life work of Jeremiah had just went down the drain. He had preached his entire life trying to save Jerusalem and the nation of Judah. Now the Babylonians had conquered them and destroyed the city. The survivors were in bondage. God's people had lost their place, their authority, and their song. As Jeremiah lamented over the loss, his confidence in the Lord never failed. History may have recorded his ministry as a failure, but Jeremiah knew better. His success was in knowing and communicating the lovingkindness, compassion and faithfulness of the Lord. The Lord was his portion and his hope. Too often we grade our ministry by the world's standards, and become discouraged. When we have followed the path of our Lord, we will always be winners in His sight.

Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married (for he had married aCushite woman);and they said, "Has the LORD indeed spoken only through Moses? Has He not spoken through us as well?" And the LORD heard it. Numbers 12:1-2

When people see our true colors, our true attitudes, are they the right godly attitudes we should have? Miriam and Aaron were the sister and brother of Moses. When they disagreed with the decision of Moses to marry an Egyptian woman, their hidden bad attitudes came to the surface. Prejudice, envy, jealousy, and hatred were heard in their words. They challenged the anointed one of God, and they were severely punished for it. How often, while serving the Lord, are we just on the edge of rebellion? Are waiting for an opportunity to rebel and take charge when another stumbles. At those times the deeds of the flesh betray our dedication to God, and reveal our dedication to ourselves. Let's guard against that, and seek the Lord in all things.

Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.

Jesus clearly states that talk is cheap. Entrance into the kingdom of heaven has a specific requirement, not just lip service. How far off can we be and still be safe? If two men are running to catch a plane, one being 30 seconds late, and the other 30 minutes late, who missed the plane. Both missed the plane. It is so important that we search the scriptures to find out the will of the Father, and then do the will of the Father. The will of the Father is centered in obedience to the crucified and risen Savior, Jesus Christ. God wants us to be in Christ, part of His body, His church, and follow the pattern He has left for us. Accept nothing less, and don't be late.

And a woman who had a hemorrhage for twelve years, and could not be healed by anyone, came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her hemorrhage stopped. Luke 8:43-44
This woman, weak from her illness, was desperate to be healed. She was sick, broke and out of options. When the news of Jesus reached her, she hoped she could find healing by touching Him. She crawled through the multitudes around Jesus, and was barely able to reach the hem of His garment. It was enough. The power of Jesus healed her, and brought peace to her life. The multitudes crowding around Jesus almost kept her from reaching Him. As we walk close to Jesus, are we helping others get to Him for His healing power, or are we just in the way. Many souls who are suffering and need the Master's touch, know that often the churches are a barrier to reaching Him, rather than a bridge. As we walk close to Jesus to meet our needs, let's keep an eye out for those who are trying to reach Him. With such a spirit, we become the kind of servant He really wants us to be.

Why are the nations in an uproar And the peoples devising a vain thing?
The kings of the earth take their stand, and the rulers take counsel together against the LORD and against His Anointed. Psalm 2:1-2

Why are the nations in an uproar? Why do the heathens rage? The nations are in a raging uproar because they think they can take a stand against God, and His anointed ones. They have picked a fight they cannot begin to win. In the world of this Psalmist, and in our world today, governments think they have a sovereign power over God. As nations rise and fall, history and faith show us that man cannot win against God. The nations against God is not a "David and Goliath" scenario. Remember God was on David's side. David entered the fight with the counsel of God. The best advice we can give to our nation or any nation is simply this; let's yield to God. Any other choice will put us in an uproar.
