Reclining on
Jesus' breast |
AS one whom his mother
comforts, so I will comfort you --They were bringing children to Him so that
He might touch them...and He took them in His arms and began blessing them,
laying His hands upon them.--Jesus called His disciples to Him, and said, I
feel compassion for the multitude, because they have remained with Me now
three days and have nothing to eat; and I do not wish to send them away
hungry, lest they faint on the way.-- We do not have a high priest who
cannot sympathize with our weaknesses --In His love and in His mercy He
redeemed them
I will not
leave you as orphans; I will come to you.--Can a woman forget her nursing
child, And have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget,
but I will not forget you.
The Lamb
in the center of the throne shall be their shepherd, and shall guide them to
springs of the water of life; and God shall wipe every tear from their eyes.
Jn 13.23. Isa 66.13.--Mk 10.13, 16.--
Mt 15.32.--Heb 4.15.--Is 63.9.

Jesus Christ
the righteous...
the propitiation for our sins |
Covering the mercy
seat with their wings and facing one another; the faces of the cherubim are
to be turned toward the mercy seat. And you shall put the mercy seat on top
of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the testimony which I shall give to
you...there I will meet with you; and from above the mercy seat
Surely His
salvation is near to those who fear Him, that glory may dwell in our land.
Lovingkindness and truth have met together. Righteousness and peace have
kissed each other. If Thou, LORD, shouldst mark iniquities O Lord, who could
stand? But there is forgiveness with Thee, that Thou mayest be feared.-- O
Israel, hope in the LORD for with the LORD there is lovingkindness, and with
Him is abundant redemption. And He will redeem Israel From all his
iniquities. -- All have sinned & fall short of the glory of God, being
justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ
Jesus Whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through
faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness.
1Jn 2.1, 2. Ex. 25.20, 21, 22. Ps. 85.9, 10.
Ps. 130.3, 4, 7, 8.--Ro. 3.23, 24, 25.

OUR
DAILY WALK
by F. B. Meyer |

July 4
SERVING CHRIST AND SERVING MEN
"He saith unto Philip,
Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?"--
Joh 6:5.
NOTICE THAT little pronoun
We! As our Lord stood face to face with the vast crowd of hungry
people, He might have said to His disciples, "What are you going
to do?" He might have bidden them devise some way of meeting their
hunger and weariness. Instead of that, He identified Himself with
them, saying, How shall we do it? Is not that His way still? He
knows the needs of the world of men, but He calls us into
fellowship with Himself with respect to them, saying, This is a
matter not for Me alone, not for you, but for us together. "I am
the Vine, ye are the branches."
Whilst our Lord talked about
buying bread, "He knew what He would do." Before His eye was the
entire plan of the meal, of which He would be the Host, but He
spoke of buying, that He might see what they would suggest,
whether they would turn to Him in simple faith, or begin to meet
the need according to their own ideas. They took the latter
course. It is almost always the case, that when we are face to
face with some emergency, we begin to calculate our ways and
means. When we are tested, we take out pencils and paper, and
begin to count up our resources, as the disciples did when they
said: Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not enough, that every
one may take a little!
Then it was that Andrew
bethought himself of the little lad, whom he had seen in the
course of the day. How proud and pleased the boy would be when
they told him that Jesus wanted his little store. He gladly gave
it up at the call of that Voice which had thrilled him with its
accent.
How can we serve Christ, and
what have we to give Him? Five tiny loaves and two small fishes do
not look much in themselves, but He will take the poorest and
simplest things, and make wonderful use of them for His glory and
the blessing of men. It is wonderful how much Jesus will do with
our lives, if we will only put them into His dear hands. If you
have no great gift to offer Him, you can bring the special power
of doing one thing best, which every one possesses, and He will
use you to arrange the people in orderly ranks, and to carry round
the bread and wine of the Gospel message, offering it without
money and without price.
PRAYER
Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
AMEN. |

FAITH'S CHECKBOOK

July 4
The Word,
Necessary Food
"Man
shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth out of
the mouth of God" (Matthew 4:4).
If God so willed it we could live without bread, even as Jesus did for
forty days; but we could not live without His Word. By that Word we were
created, and by it alone can we be kept in being, for he sustaineth all
things by the Word of His power. Bread is a second cause; the LORD Himself
is the first source of our sustenance. He can work without the second
cause as well as with it; and we must not tie Him down to one mode of
operation. Let us not be too eager after the visible, but let us look to
the invisible God. We have heard believers say that in deep poverty, when
bread ran short, their appetites became short, too; and to others, when
common supplies failed, the LORD has sent in unexpected help. But we must
have the Word of the LORD. With this alone we can withstand the devil.
Take this from us, and our enemy will have us in his power, for we shall
soon faint. Our souls need food, and there is none for them outside of the
Word of the LORD. All the books and all the preachers in the world cannot
furnish us a single meal: it is only the Word from the mouth of God that
can fill the mouth of a believer. LORD, evermore give us this bread. We
prize it above royal dainties.

EMPTYING ONESELF
“He emptied Himself.”
—Philippians 2.1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.
IN Mr. Silvester Horne’s garden a very suggestive scene was one day to be
witnessed. A cricketer of world-wide renown was playing a game with Mr.
Horne’s little four-year-old son! And the fierce bowler “emptied himself,”
and served such gentle, dainty little balls that the tiny man at the
wickets was not in the least degree afraid! And the Lord of glory “emptied
Himself,” fashioning Himself to our “low estate,” and in His unspeakably
gentle approaches we find our peace.
And I, too, am to seek a corresponding lowliness of mind in order that I,
too, may be of service to my weak and needy brother. It is for me to empty
myself of the pride of strength, the brutal aggressiveness of success, the
sometimes unfeeling obtrusiveness of health; I must empty myself, and “get
down” by the side of weakness and infirmity, and in gentle fellowship
humbly proffer my help.
And if the mind is to be in me “which was also in Christ Jesus,” it is
needful for me to commune with Him “without ceasing.” His gentleness can
make me great. |

Periodic Quotes...
In light of the growing global
recession that is leaving no one untouched, you might consider
listening to Dr. John Piper's timely message (Feb 1, 2009) to the
Body of Christ (you can read it but I recommend listening if you
have the time)...
2Cor 1:1-12 What Is
the Recession For? (click)
Steven Cole
also has
an excellent message based on Psalm 49 addressing the current
economic crisis.
Psalm 49: A Psalm for
the Recession (click)
Righteousness
exalts a nation,
but sin is a disgrace to any people.
Proverbs
14:34
A Prayer
For Our Nation
May
the Spirit of holiness prompt all who read it to join in solemn,
earnest intercession on behalf of America (cp Joel 1:14, 2:15)...
Heavenly Father, we
come before you today to ask Your forgiveness and to seek Your
direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who
call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done. We have
lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We have
exploited the poor and called it the lottery. We have rewarded
laziness and called it welfare. We have killed our unborn and
called it choice. We have shot abortionists and called it
justifiable. We have neglected to discipline our children and
called it building self esteem. We have abused power and called
it politics. We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called
it ambition. We have polluted the air with profanity and
pornography and called it freedom of expression. We have
ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it
enlightenment. Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today;
cleanse us from every sin and set us free (in Christ Jesus our
Lord). Amen!
Note:
Some have attributed
this prayer to Billy Graham, but others attribute it (or a similar
prayer) to Joe Wright and still others to a prayer by Bob Russell
before the Kansas House of Representatives in 1996 - God knows who
prayed it, so that is not the real issue...Our Father desires to
hear all of His children crying out with similar contrition and
brokenness over our sins against His holy Name...
First of all, then, I urge
that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made
on behalf of all men, for kings and all who are in authority, in
order that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness
and dignity. (1Ti 2:1,2, cp Daniel's great prayer in Da
9:3-19)
