Grace for your spirit
Though the fig tree should not blossom, And there be no fruit on the vines, Though the yield of the olive should fail And the fields produce no food, Though the flock should be cut off from the fold And there be no cattle in the stalls, Yet I will exult in the LORD, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation. Habakkuk 3:17-18
After this prophet debated with God about the difficult times to come, he finally yielded to God's Word. He acknowledged that although difficult times were inevitable, he would exult in the Lord and rejoice. He was going to trust God to help him rise above it all. When we see trouble on the horizon, do we trust or run? Ten years ago, we were facing Y2K. Remember the predictions that everything would stop in 2000? Would we have been faithful if everything stopped? When everything stops, that is when we need to be the most faithful. Let's trust in the Lord in good times and especially in bad times.

No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. II Corinthians 11:14
Do we wonder why people in the world have a difficult time receiving the true message of Jesus? The world is full of false teachers, and even the devil disguises himself to look like an angel of light. At the same time, those of us who ought to be spreading the true light, are often covered with the darkness of inconsistent lives. The devil's goal is to blind the eyes of the unbelieving so they cannot see the truth. We shouldn't help the devil in his quest to keep souls from the truth. When we aren't letting our light shine for God, we unwittingly become agents of the devil. Let's start living in the true light and spreading the true light.

Grace for your spirit
O taste and see that the LORD is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him! Psalm 34:8
Are we truly tasting the word of God or just sniffing at it? Most of us have been encouraged, even forced, to try some new food before in our lives. We look at it, sniff at it, and taste it just a little bit. Lots of times, we find out that we really is good, and we are glad we tried it. The same is true with God and His Word. Many people assume they won't like it. When we are encouraged to taste His Word, we find out how blessed we can be partaking of Him. Let's try that Bible class we have been skipping. Start a Bible study and prayer session by ourself everyday. We will find out that we can find a great blessings and refuge in His presence.

Grace for your spirit
Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. I Corinthians 15:50
A preacher started a sermon by saying, "it won't be very long until everyone is this community will be dead." One man laughed. Inquiring as to why he would laugh, the man said, "I'm not from around here." We are not made to live on this earth forever, no matter where we're from. We all must be changed, and transformed to go to heaven. Our flesh and blood bodies are only for here and now. It is just like the church nursery. We shall not all sleep, but we will all be changed. Let's trust God that the change will be much better.

Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways! Romans 11:33
Sometimes people will ask a preacher, "How deep is your preaching?" None of us can ever go deep enough to discover everything about God. It is a never ending journey into His wisdom and knowledge. The Greek word for depth is Bathos. Once there was a little submarine invented to go into the depths of the sea. It was called a Bathysphere. It allowed people to discover the depths of the ocean. Our Bathysphere is the Holy Spirit. With that life support, we can search the depths of God's riches. Don't dive without it.
