Lord, hear our prayer:
Father, we come because you have chosen us for service, you have called us by your grace, and you have set us free from all that held us, and you have made us whole and enabled us to know you. We have come to praise and to thank you in Jesus’ name.
Amen.

Friday Reflecting
But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. – Isaiah 53:5.
Two friends are said to come into Vulcan’s shop, and to beg a boon of him: it was granted. What was it? that he would either beat them on his anvil, or melt them in his furnace, both into one. But without fiction, here is a far greater love in Christ; for He would be melted in the furnace of wrath, and beaten on the anvil of death, to be made one with us. And to declare the exceeding love, here were not both to be beaten on the anvil, or melted in the furnace; but without us He alone would be beaten on the anvil, He alone melted that we might be spared.

Mark 7:37
And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well.
He makes both the deaf to hear and the mute to speak.”
Yes, that is exactly the way our Savior does things!
First He makes the deaf hear. I wonder if in our whole personal salvation we have ever experienced a greater miracle than this. When I look back upon all the remarkable things that I have experienced, this seems to me to be the most remarkable of all: that God made me hear, hear in such a way that my frivolous soul began to tremble at the Word of God.
Almost as remarkable was the miracle by which He opened our deaf ears and enabled us to hear the Gospel of unmerited grace, causing our hearts to sing jubilantly with other ransomed souls: “He hath done all things well.”
Is it not this miracle which He has wrought in us continuously since then? We become deaf again, and hear neither His law nor His gospel, live an empty and unhappy life in the accustomed forms of godliness. Then He takes us aside, as He did the deaf of long ago, and speaks His mighty “Ephphatha!” We hear once more, and our souls both tremble and rejoice.
He maketh the deaf to hear and the dumb to speak.
As long as we were deaf, we were dumb. We did not have a word to say about our Savior. But as soon as we heard the Word of the Lord, the dumb began to speak. We could not keep silent.
It is the way the Lord raises up witnesses unto Himself.
Not only preachers who speak because they believe and cannot remain silent. But also all others who seldom or never speak in public because they have not been given the gift to do so, but who speak privately, in daily life, because they cannot refrain.
There are many children of God who have become dumb again. Why? They can no longer see that the Lord does all things well. Pray that you again may see the blessed works of the Lord. Then you will not be able to remain silent.
Author Lloyd C. Douglas used to tell how he loved to visit an old man who gave violin lessons because the teacher had a kind of homely wisdom that refreshed him. One morning Douglas walked in and said, “Well, what’s the good news today?” Putting down his violin, the teacher stepped over to a tuning fork suspended from a cord and struck it a smart blow. “There is the good news for today,” he said. “That, my friend, is the musical note A. It was A all day yesterday, will be A next week and for a thousand years.”
It’s exciting to see ideas take shape and then become reality. Even more exciting, though, is when God’s ideas take form. The Bible shows us these events repeatedly. As the reader, we’re given glimpses into what God is really doing, events the characters are unaware of. Or we have a hint all along that God is up to something unexpected, and that He will make good out of the evil that’s happening.
The story of Moses is like this. God’s people are terribly oppressed, but they are many (Exodus 1). And we all know there is power in numbers. When baby Moses comes along, we’re ready for something amazing to happen. It will be from this unassuming moment that God will do the least expected (Exodus 2:1–10): He will help those on the underside of power. Our suspicion is confirmed when Moses is willing to kill for justice (Exodus 2:11–12). Moses flees, and then God hears Israel’s complaints about the pain they’re enduring (Exodus 2:23–25). He answers their cry by calling Moses (Exodus 3:1–22). Moses is hesitant because he can’t speak well, but God will (as we thought) use this unexpected turn of events (Exodus 4:10–17).
Like Moses’ story, we see behind the veil at the beginning of John’s Gospel: “In the beginning was the Word . . . And the Word became flesh and took up residence among us, and we saw his glory . . . For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ” (John 1:1, 14, 17). God gave Moses His law, and He gave Moses the opportunity to guide His people from oppression to the wilderness and almost to freedom. But He gave Jesus grace and truth.
And that’s the message of the testaments: from cry to freedom cry, from calling upon God to salvation, and from merely men guided by God, to God in a man guiding men. Our love for God should be every bit as great, and far greater, than the love shown by the chorus of people in Song of Solomon. We must say about our God, like they say about people, “Let us be joyful and let us rejoice in you; let us extol your love more than wine. Rightly do they love you!” (Song of Solomon 1:4).
We are called to see God’s work in our everyday life. We must recognize His story. He’s involved. Are we?
Scripture References: Psalm 1
From last lesson: Verse 5 makes it plain that the ungodly person is under condemnation. “Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.” . . . The ungodly will stand before God, and will be condemned without reprieve. There is no mercy for the person who lives without God. Flimsy excuses and pious rhetoric will not help in the judgment.
Continuing on, we see that verse 5 also declares: “nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.” That has puzzled many interpreters over the years. To me however, this is rather clear. If you’ve lived long enough trying to abide in the Lord, you will see that in every congregation there are hypocrites who try to act the part but whose hearts are not committed to the Lord. Pretenders. Play actors. We can’t look into hearts. We can only see their fruit. It is neither for you nor me to sentence or condemn. In the final judgment, sinners will not be able to identify with the congregation of the righteous. The genuine heart condition of an individual will be manifest in the judgment. People know what we do. God knows why we do it. Here is a solemn warning to the person who thinks he can associate with godly people, and that is all God requires. What God requires is a heart that is turned toward Him and a life under His control. Even though it is commendable to surround ourselves with Christian people, what matters most of all is committing our lives to the Lord. At the final judgment sinners will not be in the congregation of the righteous, no goats will be with the sheep; no chaff with the flourishing, vibrant trees of God.
“For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly shall perish.” The person who excludes God from his life, whatever else he may think, and whatever else he may do, is headed inevitably toward destruction. No good conclusion can come from that kind of life. There is inevitable separation from God. You can “be sure your sin will find you out” (Numbers 32:23). “The soul who sins shall die.” – Ezekiel 18:4. Don’t be deceived, God is not mocked. What a man sows, that he will reap (see Galatians 6:7). The end result of a life lived without God is eternity without God, no light, no love, nothing but torment, eternal hell.
Notice the Psalmist’s conclusion about the righteous, a contrast that is beautiful. “For the LORD knows the way of the righteous.” The word “know” here means more than that God is simply informed or merely aware. The core of this message is: God cares about the righteous! The word “knows” is in a Hebrew tense that speaks of continuous action. God is continually watching over the way of the righteous. The way of the godly is one watched by, guarded by, approved by, and blessed by God.
Isn’t that wonderful to know? That should be a great source of assurance and confidence. God watches our lives. When we cry out through our experiences, and devastating things happen to all of us, God cares deeply. In the midst of every experience, as you cry out to God, sometimes you cry in bewilderment, sometimes in doubt, sometimes in fear. You may cry from discouragement and despair. There may be times of happiness, or there may be times of sadness. There may be any number of experiences, but through those experiences of life we reach out for God, and we can be confident that He is there!
The truly happy person is one who recognizes there are some things he can’t do. He can’t associate with people who, however innocent they may appear, have no time for or contact with God. He will not associate and link his life with those who are habitual sinners and those who laugh at and ridicule the things of God. Rather, he will spend his life delighting in the law of the Lord, meditating upon it, letting it express itself in his life. And he will be like a tree, tall, sturdy, flourishing, planted by rivers of water. But the person who has no time for God is like chaff, dry, dead, worthless trash, absolutely no hope for him, only the wind driving him away to be burned, to be swept away without a glimmer of hope! “For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish.” What a tremendous source of strength and blessing. How deep and immense should be our total commitment to God!
Lord, hear our prayer:
Lord, we come for guidance for our journey, your word for our minds and the power of the Spirit to give us life. We have come to you, Lord, because you are the way, the truth and the life. We come before you in the name of Jesus Christ.
Amen.

Thursday Reflecting
“Look to the rock from which you were hewn, and to the hole of the pit from which you were dug.” – Isaiah 51:1.
God would build for Himself a palace in heaven of living stones. Where did He get them? Did He go to the quarries of Paros? Hath He brought forth the richest and the purest marble from the quarries of perfection? No, ye saints: look to “the hole of the pit whence ye were digged, and to the rock whence ye were hewn!” Ye were full of sin: so far from being stones that were white with purity, ye were black with defilement, seemingly utterly unfit to be stones in the spiritual temple, which should be the dwelling-place of the Most High. Goldsmiths make exquisite forms from precious material; they fashion the bracelet and the ring from gold: God maketh His precious things out of base material; and from the black pebbles of the defiling brooks He hath taken up stones, which He hath set in the golden ring of His immutable love, to make them gems to sparkle on His finger forever. He hath not selected the best, but apparently the worst of men to be the monuments of His grace; and, when He would have a choir in heaven, He sent Mercy to earth to find out the dumb, and teach them to sing.

2 Peter 1:7
[Add] to brotherly kindness love.
Love is indefinite to most of us, we do not know what we mean when we talk about love. Love is the sovereign preference of one person for another, and spiritually Jesus demands that that preference be for Himself (see example Luke 14:26). When the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost, Jesus Christ is easily first; then we must practice the working out of these things mentioned by Peter.
The first thing God does is to knock pretense and the pious pose right out of me. The Holy Spirit reveals that God loved me not because I was lovable, but because it was His nature to do so. ‘Now,’ He says to me, ‘show the same love to others’—“Love as I have loved you.” ‘I will bring any number of people about you whom you cannot respect, and you must exhibit My love to them as I have exhibited it to you.’ You won’t reach it on tiptoe. Some of us have tried to, but we were soon tired.
“The Lord suffereth long . . .” Let me look within and see His dealings with me. The knowledge that God has loved me to the uttermost, to the end of all my sin and meanness and selfishness and wrong, will send me forth into the world to love in the same way. God’s love to me is inexhaustible, and I must love others from the bedrock of God’s love to me. Growth in grace stops the moment I get huffed. I get huffed because I have a peculiar person to live with. Just think how disagreeable I have been to God! Am I prepared to be so identified with the Lord Jesus that His life and His sweetness are being poured out all the time? Neither natural love nor Divine love will remain unless it is cultivated. Love is spontaneous, but it has to be maintained by discipline.
Donald Glen Sneed of Dallas, Texas, has sued the United States government on behalf of “all God’s children,” naming God as a co-plaintiff. Sneed filed his suit to determine if the U. S. Government is subject to the laws of God. Among things listed by Sneed as violations of God’s laws by the Government, are the use of the environment without permission, minerals, food, clothing, shelter; the destruction of God’s property by pollution; the death of the American Indians during the settling of the West; the deaths of soldiers and people in the war against Vietnam. The Government has 60 days to reply. Whether the suit can ever go to court is debatable because God’s written, as well as verbal, consent must be given for filing the suit in His name.
~ Pastor’s Manual
I was a stubborn child. When disciplined by my parents, I would sulk for hours afterward. I didn’t see discipline from my parents’ perspective—as something that would mold me into a mature, loving person.
Hebrews 12 has a lesson for people like me with a history of wallowing in self-pity when disciplined. Here, the writer of Hebrews tells us that God, a Father to us through the work of Jesus, disciplines us for our good. To emphasize this, the writer of Hebrews draws on the book of Proverbs, where the Father instructs His own Son. “My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, or give up when you are corrected by him. For the Lord disciplines the one who he loves, and punishes every son whom he accepts” (Hebrews 12:6; compare Proverbs 3:11–12).
The author tells us that being disciplined is a sign of God’s love. It means He is working and active in our lives (Hebrews 12:8). Like a chastised child, we might not always recognize God’s discipline this way. When challenged by our circumstances, we might struggle against events that are meant to shape us for holiness and eternity. We might even avoid subjecting ourselves to them because we don’t see God as the author of the event.
Sometimes our parents’ form of discipline gives us a tainted view of its purpose. Imperfect, like us, they disciplined us “for a few days according to what seemed appropriate to them.” It may have been harmful and destructive. But God disciplines us “for our benefit, in order that we can have a share in his holiness” (Hebrews 12:10). Because His intentions are perfect, we know that He has our ultimate good in mind. And we can approach discipline like a student, ready to learn how to better serve Him—and others—for His kingdom.
Scripture References: Psalm 1
What a contrast this next verse is. “The ungodly are not so . . .” This is a very brief transition. The contrast is so brief we might be prone to think, Well, why doesn’t he go into more detail? The brevity of this contrast magnifies the difference in these two people. Here is perhaps the greatest contrast in the entire Bible. In the New Testament, for instance, there is the contrast between the wheat and the tares. The wheat is likened unto God’s children; the tares, to the ungodly. There is also contrast between the sheep and the goats. The sheep are likened unto God’s people; the goats, to the ungodly. Try to keep the flourishing tree in your mind. “The ungodly are not so.”
What are they like? The ungodly “are like the chaff which the wind drives away.” The chaff is the hull, the waste material, of the grain. The grain is encased in a hull, a leafy material. When farmers would harvest the grain they would spread it onto the threshing floors. Threshing floors were nearly always on the crest of a hill. Even today the process is pretty much the same. Israeli growers throw the grain onto the threshing floor, trample it to separate the grain from the chaff or hull, and, then with a shovel or a rake, throw it into the air, where the wind blowing across these hilltops will carry the chaff away, and the heavier grain will fall back to the floor. Finally, all the chaff is blown away, and only the grain remains. Then they use the grain which is a blessing to them.
There is nothing much more worthless than chaff. Whatever chaff was left on the floor would be piled up and burned. At threshing time the atmosphere would be filled with the tiny particles of chaff. You will remember that Jesus talked of the man who was concerned about the mote in his brother’s eye. The mote was perhaps a little piece of chaff that irritated one’s eye. It was a nuisance. Nothing is more worthless than chaff. The contrast is evident.
The godly man is like the tree the psalmist mentioned, sturdy, strong, fruitful, with verdant foliage. The ungodly man is like the chaff, worthless, useless, dead, dry, helpless, hopeless. What a contrast. Doom is inevitable; the wind will drive it away. The ungodly person is like a house build on the sand. When the winds and rains come, it will fall (see Matthew 7:26–27). Contrasted to the happy man is that person who has no room for God in their life.
Job had another vivid description along these lines. Job described streams in the desert and the people who live like those streams.
My brothers have dealt deceitfully like a brook, like the streams of the brooks that pass away, which are dark because of the ice, and into which the snow vanishes. When it is warm, they cease to flow; when it is hot, they vanish from their place. – Job 6:15–17.
Those streams wound out into the desert where the intense heat dried up the water. Those who followed those streams perished. Notice also verse 18: “The paths of their way turn aside, they go nowhere and perish.” Worthless. What a picture of those without God. That comparison, like the chaff, highlighted individuals who thought they could handle life apart from God, without obeying God, without delighting in the things of God. They went their own way; they didn’t want to be bothered by or with God. They thought they were going to have happiness from their own making, but God’s Word verifies that their end was and is destruction and doom, and their lives were and are destined to be worthless. What a vivid contrast with a healthy tree!
Verse 5 makes it plain that the ungodly person is under condemnation. “Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.” Two facts are stated here. The writer was not saying that the ungodly person will not appear at the judgment. He will definitely appear, but the phrase “shall not stand” literally means “shall not maintain himself.” In other words, he will not survive the judgment. He will stand before God without excuse and defense. The ungodly will stand before God, and will be condemned without reprieve. There is no mercy for the person who lives without God. Flimsy excuses and pious rhetoric will not help in the judgment.
Lord, hear our prayer:
Lord, you are always there for us, always calling us to share your peace and joy. You are always there calling us to worship and to celebrate your glory. You are always there meeting us, holding us, challenging and sharing our lives. You are there when we need you and when we turn our backs on you. Even when we least expect it, Lord, you are there, always there. We have come because you are with us.
Amen.

Wednesday Reflecting
“Who among you . . . walks in darkness And has no light? Let him trust in the name of the LORD And rely upon his God.” – Isaiah 50:10.
This is God’s way. In the darkest hours of the night His tread draws near across the billows. As the day of execution is breaking, the angel comes to Peter’s cell. When the scaffold for Mordecai is complete, the royal sleeplessness leads to a reaction in favor of the threatened race. Ah! soul, it may have to come to the worst with thee ere thou art delivered; but thou wilt be! God may keep thee waiting; but He will ever be mindful of His covenant, and will appear to fulfill His inviolable word.

Revelation 1:18
“I am alive forevermore.”
Here is the message of the Christ of the cross and the still more glorious and precious Christ of the resurrection. It is beautiful and inspiring to note the touch of light and glory with which these simple words invest the cross. It is not said, I am He that was dead and liveth, but “I am He that liveth and was dead, but am alive forevermore.” Life is mentioned before the death. There are two ways of looking at the cross. One is from the death side and the other from the life side. One is the Ecce Homo and the other is the glorified Jesus with only the marks of the nails and the spear. It is thus we are to look at the cross. We are not to carry about with us the mold of the sepulchre, but the glory of the resurrection. It is not the Ecce Homo, but the Living Christ. And so our crucifixion is to be so complete that it shall be lost in our resurrection and we shall even forget our sorrow and carry with us the light and glory of the eternal morning. So let us live the death-born life, ever new and full of a life that can never die, because it is “dead and alive forevermore.”
God is in trouble in Santa Rosa, California.
It all began when folk singer Lou Gottlieb deeded his thirty-one-acre ranch, a controversial hippie haven, to God. The controversy came when taxes were due. The reluctant county recorder finally gave in when Gottlieb showed him a coin on which was engraved, “In God We Trust” and specified, “It’s this one.” As for taxes, said Gottlieb, “For God’s sake, I’ll pay them.” But, he added, it all would be “an interesting problem legally, as a test of the intensity of belief of the authorities around here.”
A week later, an Oakland secretary hit God with a civil summons for causing a lightning bolt to strike and destroy four homes. The $100,000 damage suit charges God with “careless and negligent” operation of the universe, including the weather. Her attorney said he would try to collect by attaching Gottlieb’s ranch (“property owned by God”) when—and if—the deity fails to show up in court.
It appears that one way or another God will have his day in court.
As an editor, I love definitions. The field of lexicography can be complex, but when a definition is finally solidified, there’s comfort to be found. It becomes something stable. This is also the reason I love the book of Hebrews: the author is keen on definitions, clarifying terminology, and using analogies to prove his points.
“Now faith is the realization of what is hoped for, the proof of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1). In this succinct definition, I have perspective on the essence of faith. There is no room for doubt or error. The hope referred to is Jesus. And the proof is in an assurance that even though we cannot see Him, we have confidence in His work both presently and in the future.
The author goes on to say, “For by this [faith] the people of old were approved [by God]. By faith we understand the worlds were created by the word of God, in order that what is seen did not come into existence from what is visible. . . . By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out to a place that he was going to receive for an inheritance, and he went out, not knowing where he was going” (Hebrews 11:2–3, 8).
Abraham, whose story is an exemplar of actions reflecting faith, shows us that belief is about hoping in God’s work in Christ. And in acting on that which He has promised but we are yet to see. That’s lexicography we can all depend upon.
Scripture References: Psalm 1
From last lesson: The happy person discovers that God’s Word is a source of endless joy and blessing. It is food and drink for a hungry, thirsty soul.
Not only did he delight in the Word of God, but, second, meditated upon it. He filled his heart and mind with the Word. It is a tragedy when people claim to love the Lord and yet can’t tell you whether Deuteronomy is in the Old or New Testament. Many even think there is a Book of Hezekiah! I even heard a politician once, who, trying to make an impression on religious folks, called Deuteronomy one of the apostles! We are to fix our minds on the Word, which is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path (see Psalm 119:105). It is not difficult at all.
The word “meditate” is an interesting word. It means to “moan.” The word could be translated “hum.” Devout Jews know how to moan. Go to the “Wailing Wall” in Jerusalem, and you can’t understand a word they say. They are sort of talking to themselves, moaning and humming, repeating the Torah, the Law. That is the kind of description we have here.
The happy man is characterized by hiding God’s Word in his heart and uttering that Word to himself and others. This is a rather simplistic comparison, but it reminds me of a cow chewing its cud. That cow never seems to be in a hurry but continually chews that same old cud. The cow chews it again and again, savoring it. That is part of the process of what is called rumination. Meditation on the Word of God is spiritual rumination, bringing the Word up and chewing on it, tasting it. Think on it, moan it, hum it, repeat it. The happy individual does that. I am not talking about some sort of religious nut or some imbalanced fanatic who is giving too much emphasis to the spiritual. I have in mind a person who bubbles over to the extent that he may shout “wow!” now and then. That’s the happy man’s communion.
“He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.” This makes two statements about the condition of the truly happy man. First, he is like a tree planted. The tree here is rooted and grounded securely in the earth. It speaks of stability and strength. When all the storms rage, when the blistering heat of summer bakes us, when the burning winds of the desert blow, when the drought blights and water is rare, the happy man’s roots go deep, and he is planted by rivers of water. Winds of change and upheaval cannot detour or uproot the blessed person. This forcefully speaks of fruitfulness and vigor, and this reinforcement is found throughout the Word of God.
Give attention to the prophet Jeremiah: “Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, and whose hope is the LORD. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes; but its leaf will be green, and will not be anxious in the year of drought, nor will cease from yielding fruit.” – Jeremiah 17:7–8. Jeremiah had the same insight as the psalmist. All of the elements of the world cannot affect the fact that his roots are deep, and his strength is sufficient. This verse also tells us he is like a tree prospering: the tree “brings forth its fruit in its season; whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.”
I want to make this clear, we will miss the point if we try to apply these three verses to what is today called prosperity. The main point here is not material but rather spiritual productivity, a fruitful, a prosperous tree, producing that which is worthwhile. His life blesses others and is an inspiration to them. His deep roots are strengthened in the hour of testing and are watered by the Word of God that will be a source of his strength and of the stability of his life.
A tree in the Middle East is prized because most of the land is desert and basically barren. A tree like this would be a veritable oasis in the desert, standing out like a sentinel. Here, in the midst of devastation, is a tree, branches spreading toward the sky. Even the intense heat and the torrid, dusty desert winds can’t wither its leaf or cause its fruit to fail from producing; and that is what God intends for His people to be like.
Lord, hear our prayer:
Lord, we have come to worship you. We come in the power of the living Christ. We come to you for our wounds to be healed and our sins forgiven. We come to you because you are worthy. We come to you because we have nowhere and no one else to go to. Lord, we come in the name of the one who said, “I am the resurrection and the life.” Lord, we have come to worship you.
Amen.

“They shall not be ashamed who wait for Me.” – Isaiah 49:23.
These waiting seasons, trying though they are to flesh and blood, are nevertheless precious ones for the soul. Ah, how much do we learn in them that will pass on with us into eternity, and draw from our lips there the loudest praises! Yes, it will be then seen that our waiting time here has been the most precious part of our heavenward journey. How will the joy of that world of unbroken rest be enhanced by the trials and struggles of life’s pilgrimage, where not one wave of sorrow shall ever break over the soul! Each shall look back and exclaim, “He hath done all things well!”
