Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and Saviour Jesus Christ.

WEEK 3 — Suffering, Healing & Presence
Dear Daughter,
A cracked jar still carries water — the crack is not the disqualification, it's where the light gets out.
Let your marriage's honest brokenness become someone else's evidence of grace.
Testimony is scar tissue turned into a lamp.
'We have this treasure in jars of clay' (2 Cor 4:7).
Whose story could your healing become part of, if you stopped hiding it?

If your theology gives you confidence but never gives you humility, something is wrong. The closer you get to a holy God, the less impressed you should be with yourself

The Pope is not the way
Joseph Smith is not the eay
Mohammad is not the way
Buddha is not the way
Your own good works are not the way

Hell is a real place of eternal torment for all who reject Jesus Christ. God takes sin seriously because he is completely holy and righteous. Make your peace with God through Christ while his arms are open wide today.

Marriage is not a contract you can tear up when times get hard. God designed it to show the world Christ's love for his Church. It's meant to be a lifelong covenant that lasts no matter how things go.

Four lies the devil wants you to believe today:
• Your sin is not really that bad
• God will not judge unrepentant sinners
• You can deal with your addiction tomorrow
• You do not need the local Church
Reject his lies with the truth of Scripture.

August 21: Transitions
#Devotional
Isaiah 42:10–43:28; Luke 16:1–17:10; Job 9:25–35
Life is marked by seasons—times of great difficulty and times of great joy. Usually we focus on making the transition from pain to relief as quickly as possible, but in the process, we may forget the significance of the transition itself. A transition is an opportunity to contemplate: Who is acting to move us from one season of our lives to the next? Why does winter give way to spring?
“Sing a new song to Yahweh; praise him from the end of the earth, you who go down to the sea and that which fills it, the coastlands and their inhabitants. Let the desert and its towns lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar inhabits. Let the inhabitants of Sela sing for joy; let them shout loudly from the top of the mountains. Let them give glory to Yahweh and declare his praise in the coastlands” (Isa 42:10–12).
This song of praise moves from the “end of the earth” inward, from region to region, until the whole world is involved. Yahweh is renewing everything. The world is moving from a despairing place to a place of order, which is great news. But the great news is not only the joy of renewal—it’s also the way that it all comes about.
Yahweh brings war to create order (Isa 42:13). He leads the blind (Isa 42:16). He turns darkness into light (Isa 42:16). We often want healing and joy to descend on us suddenly, like a flash of lightning. But for joy to grow in our lives and in our world, great evils must first be stamped out. Like the gradual return of plants and sunlight in the spring, joy comes during and through Yahweh’s patient work. We must embrace the nature of His work, and the difficulty of it, as much as we embrace the results.
What transitions are you in? How can you depend on Yahweh in the midst of them? What are you learning about Him in the process?

August 21 - Jairus’s True Faith
#LifeOfChrist
“A synagogue official came and bowed down before Him, and said, ‘My daughter has just died; but come and lay Your hand on her, and she will live’” (Matthew 9:18).
Jairus’s belief that the Lord Jesus could honor his request to revive his daughter from death is especially extraordinary because Jesus had not yet performed a resurrection miracle. He had performed many healing miracles, but up to this point He had not brought someone back from the dead. So there was no precedent for such a request, yet Jairus asked it in faith.
Jairus’s faith surpassed that of the centurion, who believed Christ could “speak” his servant well prior to death (Matt. 8:9–10). It also topped that of Martha, who believed Jesus could have kept her brother Lazarus from dying, but relinquished hope once he died, even when Jesus said he would rise again (John 11:21, 23–24). With such unsurpassed faith that the Lord could resurrect his daughter by a mere touch, Jairus undoubtedly trusted Him for forgiveness of sins and newness of spiritual life, for salvation.
This episode also demonstrates that Jesus was not a religious guru with servants doing His every bidding, or a monk removed from everyday life, or a potentate at the top of a religious hierarchy who received people only through several layers of intermediaries. Instead He was the true Son of God who “became flesh, and dwelt among us” (John 1:14) and ministered personally and directly to meet believing requests of men such as Jairus.
Ask Yourself
Is your faith limited to the precedent of what you’ve seen Jesus do in the past? Or are you willing to believe Him for more than your eye has seen or your ear has heard? Bring a big need before Him today—in believing faith—and continue to watch for His answer.
