For the Security of My Salvation

Friend of Sinners,
You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I have no greater treasure than you and the flood of blessings you have consistently lavished on me. I am grounded in the confidence that I am yours and that my eternity will be spent in your presence, all thanks to the perfect work of your life, death, and resurrection. My salvation is sure and certain! Leave these truths imprinted on my heart, so that my days are marked with joy and peace. Allow the reality of my future inheritance to carry me through every present impediment or inconvenience. Let the confidence of my permanent home in heaven spur me on to make the most of my temporary home and time here on earth.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen. 

In Good Hands

Nothing has changed.

In light of tanking retirement portfolios, closed schools and businesses, travel bans, and a combination of other steps like social distancing being taken to flatten the curve of covid-19, anyone who states that “nothing has changed” may sound a bit like he’s had his head stuck in the sand for too long. Or, it may just be that he’s had his head stuck somewhere else – in the Word of God:

“But I trust in you, LORD;
I say, ‘You are my God.’
My times are in your hands.”
(Ps. 31:14-15)

Nothing has changed. Our times were in God’s hands long before anyone had ever heard the word “coronavirus,” and our times will be in God’s hands long after we’ve forgotten the word altogether. What does that mean? While many in the world are crippled with fear, we live confidently in faith. Faith assures us that we belong to God. No virus can change that – not even Satan himself could change it! God’s perfect love for us in Christ Jesus drives out all fear. Rest easy. You are in good hands – God’s.
