Fireworks are a short-lived thrill. But it takes faith to live for something eternal because what is eternal is invisible to the eyes of the flesh. Abel chose to pursue the invisible God with sacrificial worship. Enoch walked with the invisible God knowing that the LORD rewards those who seek Him. Noah prepared for eternity by not trusting his eyes but trusting the Word of God.

We all face times when the world seems out of control and a dangerous place. For many of us, the last couple months have seemed such a time. But in those positions of weakness, as much as we hate them, embracing that weakness gives us opportunity to know God in a more intimate way. Only then can we know as the psalmist that the LORD is our refuge and our strength.

The works of the LORD show that He deserves to be praised. Those works reveal His character. Those works compel us to fear God and do His commandments. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.

Regardless of how we may feel, the truth is unchangeable. And God is unchangeable and always worthy of praise. We always have reason to give thanks. Psalm 100 helps us see why. We belong to One who is always good and has everlasting mercy.

Each of the four gospel accounts point out that Joseph of Arimathea risked his reputation, wealth, and future in order to claim the body of Jesus as He was executed upon the cross. None of the family nor disciples could or would do what Joseph did. Even more amazing, Joseph had been secretive about His devotion to Jesus until this very public stand. Let’s explore what prompted Joseph and why this is important, even though it was only temporary.

He rode into town on an animal that had never been rode before. It sounds like a scene from a Western. But what is the significance of the Hero on a donkey? And what is the lesson we should take away from the scene that day as they acclaimed Jesus as their anticipated Messiah, then five days later would cry out for His execution? Perhaps the lesson is closer to the heart than we care to admit.

Do you have some extra time on your hands or busier than ever? Either way, now is the time to make this a priority. Whatever else we may think is important, this should be at the top of the list. Everything else is temporary. Our relationship with the LORD should be our boast and joy. Let’s keep making time for Him no matter what else is going on.

There’s more going on in the Christmas carol “We Three Kings” than the title. We find that if we listen to the message woven throughout the carol that we can learn much about the Child in Bethlehem. The wise men traversed so far to behold Him and rejoiced to worship Him, giving such valuable gifts. Indeed the Greatest Gift is the King, God, and Sacrifice revealed throughout the song and, more importantly, in Scripture.
We are still polishing up the audio and appearances of our podcast. We welcome your helpful input that all might be done unto the glory of God.
