Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God...2 Corinthians 5:20 King James Version (KJV)

What of My House?



What of My House? 

"Believe on the LORD Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house"
 (Acts 16:31).

This gospel for a man with a sword at his throat is the gospel for me. This would suit me if I were dying, and it is all that I need while I am living. 

I look away from self, and sin, and all idea of personal merit, and I trust the LORD Jesus as the Savior whom God has given. I believe in Him, I rest on Him, I accept Him to be my all in all. 

LORD, I am saved, and I shall be saved to all eternity, for I believe in Jesus. Blessed be Thy name for this. May I daily prove by my life that I am saved from selfishness, and worldliness, and every form of evil. But those last words about my "house": LORD, I would not run away with half a promise when Thou dost give a whole one.

 I beseech Thee, save all my family. 
Save the nearest and dearest. 
Convert the children and the grandchildren, if I have any. 

Be gracious to my servants and all who dwell under my roof or work for me. Thou makest this promise to me personally if 
I believe in the LORD Jesus; I beseech Thee to do as Thou hast said.

 I would go over in my prayer every day the names of all my brothers and sisters, parents, children, friends, relatives, servants, and give Thee no rest till that word is fulfilled, "and thy house."

Marvelous God Almighty, 
I come to you in the precious name of Jesus, 
who died for me to make me free of sin,
 I want Jesus to enter in to my heart and make me free, 
I confess that He is the son of God.

Man’s weakness, and God’s anointing


Man’s weakness, and God’s anointing

“I am this day weak, though anointed king; and these men the sons of Zeruiah be too hard for me.” 
2 Samuel 3:39

Suggested Further Reading: 
1 Kings 3:3-9

David had been an adventurer in the cave, so long that he had grown used to it, and you never find him saying when he hid himself in Engedi, “I am this day weak.”

 No; after the first season of bitterness I believe he came to love Adullam’s dreary shelter; and the bleak mountains were dear to him.

 Now he has come into a new place, nations are at his feet, men bow before him. It is a new position, and he says “I am this day weak, though anointed king.” 

Whenever you make a change in life; whenever God calls you to another set of duties, you will surely find out what perhaps you do not now believe—that you are weak, though anointed king. 

Here, too, David had come into new temptations. The arrows had been shot at him before, from one direction alone, now the storm ceases on one side, and begins on the other. 

If men knew that the storm would always come to one side of the house they would repair and strengthen it, and then they would not fear the blast; but if suddenly it whirled round and took the other corner, how would they be prepared for that? Take care, Christian men and women, how you change your position; for often it is a change for the worse. 

The arrows may not fly on the right, but they will meet you on the left, and perhaps that may be your weakest side, and there you will be smitten in the tenderest part. 

David had now no more the temptations which beset a venturer, but those which cluster thick around the throne; for where there is the honey of royalty, there will surely be the wasps of temptations. 

High places and God’s praise do seldom agree; a full cup is not easily carried without spilling, and he that stands on a pinnacle needs a clear head and much grace.

For meditation: 

Change may be what we desired or totally did not want; new circumstances may make us feel humble or proud. Always remember your weakness and God’s strength, which is the answer to the honest “I am” of man (Exodus 4:10-12; Judges 6:14-16; Jeremiah 1:6-8; Romans 7:24,25; 1 Corinthians 15:9,10; 2 Corinthians 12:9,10).

Broken and Smoking



Broken and Smoking

"A bruised reed shall He not break, and the smoking flax shall He not quench"   
(Isaiah 42:3).

Then I may reckon upon tender treatment from my LORD.
 Indeed, I feel myself to be at best as weak, as pliant, as worthless as a reed. 

Someone said, "I don't care a rush for you"; and the speech, though unkind, was not untrue. Alas! I am worse than a reed when it grows by the river, for that at least can hold up its head. 

I am bruised -- sorely, sadly bruised. 
There is no music in me now; there is a rift which lets out all the melody. Ah, me! Yet Jesus will not break me; and if He will not, then I mind little what others try to do.

 O sweet and compassionate LORD, I nestle down beneath Thy protection and forget my bruises! Truly I am also fit to be likened to "the smoking flax," whose light is gone, and only its smoke remains. 

I fear I am rather a nuisance than a benefit. 
My fears tell me that the devil has blown out my light and left me an obnoxious smoke, and that my LORD will soon put an extinguisher upon one. 

Yet I perceive that though there were snuffers under the law, there were no extinguishers, and Jesus will not quench me; therefore, I am hopeful. LORD, kindle me anew and cause me to shine forth to Thy glory and to the extolling of Thy tenderness.

Chastisement—now and afterwards


Chastisement—now and afterwards

‘Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.’
 Hebrews 12:11

Suggested Further Reading: 
Deuteronomy 8:1–10

Blessed is that chastening which being fruitful in us makes us also fruitful. It brings forth the ‘fruit of righteousness’; not natural, and therefore impure fruit, but fruit such as God himself may accept—holiness, purity, patience, joy, faith, love, and every Christian grace. 

It does not make the Christian more righteous in the sense of justification, for he is completely so in Christ; but it makes him more apparently so in the eyes of onlookers, while he, through his experience, exhibits more of the character of his Lord. Note again, that this righteous fruit is ‘peaceable.’ None so happy as tried Christians—afterwards.
 No calm is more deep than that which follows a storm.
 Who has not seen clear shinings after rain? God gives sweet banquets to his children after the battle.

 It is after the rod that he gives the honeycomb; after climbing the Hill Difficulty, we sit down in the arbour to rest; after passing the wilderness we come to the House Beautiful; after we have gone down the Valley of Humiliation, after we have fought with Apollyon, the shining one appears to us and gives us the branch which heals us. 

It is always ‘afterwards’ with the Christian. 
He has his best things last, and he must be expecting, therefore, to have his worst things first. It is always ‘afterwards.’ 

Still, when it does come, it is peace, sweet, deep peace. What a delightful sensation it is, after long illness, once more to walk abroad; though perhaps, you are still pale to look upon, and feeble in body, you walk out of doors and breathe the air again; you can feel your blood leap in your veins, and every bone seems to sing out because of the mercy of God. 

Such is the peace which follows long and sharp affliction.

For meditation:  

If you are Christ’s servant, the word ‘afterwards’ should be in your vocabulary (Psalm 73:24; Luke 17:7–8). Every Christian needs patience (Hebrews 10:36) and patience needs time to do its work in us (James 1:3–4).
