Philippians 2:5-6 Your attitude !!!


Philippians 2:5-6 (NIV). 

Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped......... 

Thoughts on This Verse... 

Jesus did not hang on to his heavenly glory, but surrendered it to save us. 

Now he asks us to follow his example and share his heart. 

He wants us to treat each other as he has treated us, 
thinking of others' needs and God's will before our own. 

Now that's one revolution I hope I get to see fully happen!

"The Lord trieth the righteous."


"The Lord trieth the righteous."—Psalm 11:5.

ALL events are under the control of Providence; consequently all the trials of our outward life are traceable at once to the great First Cause.

 Out of the golden gate of God's ordinance the armies of trial march forth in array, clad in their iron armour, and armed with weapons of war. 

All providences are doors to trial. 
Even our mercies, like roses, have their thorns.

 Men may be drowned in seas of prosperity as well as in rivers of affliction. 
Our mountains are not too high, and our valleys are not too low for temptations: 
trials lurk on all roads.

 Everywhere, above and beneath, we are beset and surrounded with dangers. 
Yet no shower falls un permitted from the threatening cloud; 
every drop has its order ere it hastens to the earth.
The trials which come from God are sent to prove and strengthen our graces, and so at once to illustrate the power of divine grace, to test the genuineness of our virtues, 
and to add to their energy. 

Our Lord in His infinite wisdom and superabundant love, sets so high a value upon His people's faith that He will not screen them from those trials by which faith is strengthened. 

You would never have possessed the precious faith which now supports you if the trial of your faith had not been like unto fire. 

You are a tree that never would have rooted so well if the wind had not rocked you to and fro, and made you take firm hold upon the precious truths of the covenant grace.

 Worldly ease is a great foe to faith; it loosens the joints of holy valour, 
and snaps the sinews of sacred courage. 

The balloon never rises until the cords are cut; affliction doth this 
sharp service for believing souls.

 While the wheat sleeps comfortably in the husk it is useless to man, 
it must be threshed out of its resting place before its value can be known. 

Thus it is well that Jehovah trieth the righteous, for it causeth them to grow rich towards God.

JESUS THE WAY

Out of Spiritual Death !!!

Out of Spiritual Death


And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves. (Ezekiel 37:13)

Indeed it must be so: those who receive life from the dead are sure to recognize the hand of the Lord in such a resurrection. 

This is the greatest and most remarkable of all changes that a man can undergo—to be brought out of the grave of spiritual death and made to rejoice in the light and liberty of spiritual life. 

None could work this but the living God, the Lord and giver of life.

Ah, me! How well do I remember when I was lying in the valley full of dry bones, 
as dry as any of them! 

Blessed was the day when free and sovereign grace sent the man of God to prophesy upon me! Glory be to God for the stirring which that word of faith caused among the dry bones. 

More blessed still was that heavenly breath from the four winds which made me live! 
Now know I the quickening Spirit of the ever-living Jehovah, Truly Jehovah is the living God, 
for He made me live. 

My new life even in its pinning and sorrowings is clear proof to me that the 
Lord can kill and make alive. 

He is the only God. 
He is all that is great, gracious, and glorious, 
and my quickened soul adores Him as the great I AM. 

All glory be unto His sacred name! As long as I live I will praise Him.

"Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe."



"Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe."—John 4:48.
 A craving after marvels was a symptom of the sickly state of men's minds in our Lord's day; 
they refused solid nourishment, and pined after mere wonder. 

The gospel which they so greatly needed they would not have; the miracles which Jesus did not always choose to give they eagerly demanded. 

Many nowadays must see signs and wonders, or they will not believe. 
Some have said in their heart, "I must feel deep horror of soul, or I never will believe in Jesus." 

But what if you never should feel it, as probably you never may?
 Will you go to hell out of spite against God, because He will not treat you like another? 

One has said to himself, "If I had a dream, or if I could feel a sudden shock of I know not what, then I would believe."

 Thus you undeserving mortals dream that my Lord is to be dictated to by you! 
You are beggars at His gate, asking for mercy,
 and you must needs draw up rules and regulations as to how He shall give that mercy. 

Think you that He will submit to this? My Master is of a generous spirit, but He has a right royal heart, He spurns all dictation, and maintains His sovereignty of action. 

Why, dear reader, if such be your case, do you crave for signs and wonders?
 Is not the gospel its own sign and wonder? 
Is not this a miracle of miracles, that "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him might not perish"?

 Surely that precious word, 
"Whosoever will, let him come and take the water of life freely" 
and that solemn promise, "Him that cometh unto Me, I will in no wise cast out,"
 are better than signs and wonders! A truthful Saviour ought to be believed. 

He is truth itself. Why will you ask proof of the veracity of One who cannot lie? 
The devils themselves declared Him to be the Son of God; will you mistrust Him?

"Trust in Him at all times."

"Trust in Him at all times."—Psalm 62:8.

FAITH is as much the rule of temporal as of spiritual life; 
we ought to have faith in God for our earthly affairs as well as for our heavenly business. 


It is only as we learn to trust in God for the supply of all our daily need that we shall live above the world. 

We are not to be idle, that would show we did not trust in God, who worketh hitherto, 
but in the devil, who is the father of idleness. 

We are not to be imprudent or rash; that were to trust chance, and not the living God, who is a God of economy and order. 

Acting in all prudence and uprightness, we are to rely simply and entirely upon the Lord at all times.

Let me commend to you a life of trust in God in temporal things. 


Trusting in God, you will not be compelled to mourn because you have used 
sinful means to grow rich. 


Serve God with integrity, and if you achieve no success, at least no sin will lie upon your conscience. 

Trusting God, you will not be guilty of self-contradiction. 
He who trusts in craft, sails this way to-day, and that way the next,
 like a vessel tossed about by the fickle wind; but he that trusteth in the Lord is like a vessel propelled by steam, she cuts through the waves, defies the wind, 
and makes one bright silvery straightforward track to her destined haven. 

Be you a man with living principles within; never bow to the varying customs of worldly wisdom. 

Walk in your path of integrity with steadfast steps, and show that you are invincibly strong in the strength which confidence in God alone can confer. 

Thus you will be delivered from carking care, you will not be troubled with evil tidings,
 your heart will be fixed, trusting in the Lord.

 How pleasant to float along the stream of providence! 
There is no more blessed way of living than a life of dependence upon a covenant-keeping God. 

We have no care, for He careth for us; we have no troubles, because we cast our burdens upon the Lord.

Abiding in Obedience, in Love


Abiding in Obedience, in Love

If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love. (John 15:10)

These things cannot be parted—abiding in obedience and abiding in the love of Jesus. 
A life under the rule of Christ can alone prove that we are the objects of our Lord's delight. 

We must keep our Lord's command if we would bask in His love.
 If we live in sin we cannot live in the love of Christ. 

Without the holiness which pleases God we cannot please Jesus. 
He who cares nothing for holiness knows nothing of the love of Jesus.

Conscious enjoyment of our Lord's love is a delicate thing. 
It is far more sensitive to sin and holiness than mercury is to cold and heat. 

When we are tender of heart and careful in thought, lip, and life to honor our Lord Jesus,
 then we receive tokens of His love without number.

 If we desire to perpetuate such bliss we must perpetuate holiness. 
The Lord Jesus will not hide His face from us unless we hide our face from Him. 

Sin makes the cloud which darkens our Sun: if we will be watchfully obedient and completely consecrated we may walk in the light, as God is in the light, and have as sure an abiding in the love of Jesus as Jesus has in the love of the Father.

 Here is a sweet promise with a solemn "if," Lord, let me have this "if" in my hand; for as a key it opens this casket.

"If we walk in the light, as He is in the light."

"If we walk in the light, as He is in the light."

—1 John 1:7.
AS He is in the light! 
Can we ever attain to this? 
Shall we ever be able to walk as clearly in the light as 
He is whom we call "Our Father,"
 of whom it is written, "God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all"? 

Certainly, this is the model which it set before us, for the Saviour Himself said,
 "Be ye perfect, even as your Father who is in heaven is perfect"; 
and although we may feel that we can never rival the perfection of God,
 yet we are to seek after it, and never to be satisfied until we attain to it.

 The youthful artist, as he grasps his early pencil, can hardly hope to equal Raphael or Michael Angelo, but still, if he did not have a noble beau ideal before his mind, 
he would only attain to something very mean and ordinary.

 But what is meant by the expression that the Christian is to walk in light as God is in the light? We conceive it to import likeness, but not degree.

 We are as truly in the light, we are as heartily in the light, we are as sincerely in the light, as honestly in the light, though we cannot be there in the same measure.

 I cannot dwell in the sun, it is too bright a place for my residence, but I can walk in the light of the sun; and so, though I cannot attain to that perfection of purity and truth which belongs to the Lord of hosts by nature as the infinitely good, yet I can set the Lord always before me, and strive, by the help of the indwelling Spirit, after conformity to His image. 

That famous old commentator, John Trapp, says,
 "We may be in the light as God is in the light for quality, but not for equality."

 We are to have the same light, and are as truly to have it and walk in it as God does, though, as for equality with God in His holiness and purity, that must be left until we cross the Jordan and enter into the perfection of the Most High. 

Mark that the blessings of sacred fellowship and perfect cleansing are
 bound up  with walking in the light.

Divine, Ever-Living, Unchanging

Divine, Ever-Living, Unchanging


But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you. (1 Peter 1:25)

All human teaching and, indeed, all human beings shall pass away as the grass of the meadow; but we are here assured that the Word of the Lord is of a very different character, for it shall endure forever.

We have here a divine gospel; for what word can endure forever but that which is spoken by the eternal God?

We have here an ever-living gospel, as full of vitality as when it first came from the lips of God; as strong to convince and convert, to regenerate and console, to sustain and sanctify as ever it was in its first days of wonder-working.

We have an unchanging gospel which is not today green grass and tomorrow dry hay but always the abiding truth of the immutable Jehovah.

 Opinions alter, but truth certified by God can no more change than the God who uttered it.

Here, then, we have a gospel to rejoice in, a word of the Lord upon which we may lean all our weight. 
"For ever"
 includes life, death, judgment, and eternity.

 Glory be to God in Christ Jesus for everlasting consolation.

 Feed on the word today and all the days of thy life.

"Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed."

Jesus Pictures, Images and Photos

"Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed."—Jeremiah 17:14
"I have seen His ways, and will heal him."—Isaiah 57:18.
IT is the sole prerogative of God to remove spiritual disease.

 Natural disease may be instrumentally healed by men, 
but even then the honour is to be given to God who giveth virtue unto medicine, 
and bestoweth power unto the human frame to cast off disease. 

As for spiritual sicknesses, these remain with the great Physician alone; He claims it as His prerogative, "I kill and I make alive, I wound and I heal"; and one of the Lord's choice titles is Jehovah-Rophi, the Lord that healeth thee. 

"I will heal thee of thy wounds," 
is a promise which could not come from the lip of man, 
but only from the mouth of the eternal God.

 On this account the psalmist cried unto the Lord,

"O Lord, heal me, for my bones are sore vexed," 
and again, 
"Heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee." 

For this, also, the godly praise the name of the Lord, saying, 
"He healeth all our diseases."

 He who made man can restore man; 
He who was at first the creator of our nature can new create it.

What a transcendent comfort it is that in the person of Jesus 
"dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily!" 

My soul, whatever thy disease may be, this great Physician can heal thee.
 If He be God, there can be no limit to His power.

 Come then with the blind eye of darkened understanding, come with the limping foot of wasted energy, come with the maimed hand of weak faith, 
the fever of an angry temper, or the ague of shivering despondency, come just as thou art, 
for He who is God can certainly restore thee of thy plague. 

None shall restrain the healing virtue which proceeds from Jesus our Lord. 

Legions of devils have been made to own the power of the beloved Physician, 
and never once has He been baffled.

 All His patients have been cured in the past and shall be in the future, and thou shalt be one among them, my friend, if thou wilt but rest thyself in Him this night.
