Perfect Peace
chestnutmare
Mon Mar 04, 2024 2:05 PM
"You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You; because he trusts in You." Isaiah 26:3
And, amid the corroding cares of domestic life, the anxieties of business, the pressure of need, the forebodings of evil, the foreshadowing of calamity, the distant mutterings of some gathering storm, how peacefully God in Christ can keep you! And when the "strife of tongues," the envenomed tooth of malice, the whisperings of envy, the spirit of jealousness and all uncharitableness would wound your heart, destroy your peace, and rob you of comfort-assailing character, reputation, usefulness—God, your reconciled Father, will put you within the curtained pavilion of His love, in the secret place of His perfections, and keep you there, safe, calm, and even cheerful, until the calamity be passed.

Walk Humbly

Walk humbly. Keep low sails. Though you be adorned like a dove, with shining feathers, yet look to your black feet, your black heart and walk softly. Be making constant application to Christ and glory more in Himself than in His gifts.

Worldly people inquire for good, not for the chief good;
chestnutmare
Wed Jan 17, 2024 1:17 PM
There are many who say, “Who will show us any good? Lord lift You up the light of Your countenance upon us." (Psalm 4:6)
Worldly people ask "Who will bring us prosperity?" But It is the great desire of the true believer to have the light of the Lord's countenance lifted up upon them.
Worldly people inquire for good, not for the chief good; all they want is outward good, present good, partial good, good meat, good drink, a good trade, and a good estate; but what are all these worth? Any good will serve the turn of most men, but a gracious soul will not be put off so. Lord, let us have thy favor, and let us know that we have it, we desire no more; let us be satisfied of thy loving-kindness, and will be satisfied with it. Many inquire after happiness, but David had found it. When God puts grace in the heart, he puts gladness in the heart. Thus comforted, he pitied, but neither envied nor feared the most prosperous sinner. He commits all his affairs to God, and is prepared to welcome His holy will.

The Existence and Being of God transcend the finite grasp
chestnutmare
Wed Jan 17, 2024 1:04 PM
The Existence and Being of God transcend the finite grasp. How then can we expect to be able to understand the process by which we become His children? Our Lord, Himself, declared that the new birth was a thing of mystery: "the wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth; so is every one that is born of the Spirit" (John 3:8). The wind is something about which the most learned scientists know next to nothing. Its nature, the laws which govern it, its causation, all lie beyond the purview of human inquiry. ~ Arthur W. Pink

This New Year
chestnutmare
Mon Jan 01, 2024 12:12 PM
Oh to enter this new year with the realization that the one who loved me and gave Himself for me, accompanies me into it! Then why should I fear what may lay ahead of me? Whatever may be my circumstances, whatever changes I may pass through, whatever I may be called upon to bear — Christ Himself will be my constant companion! But only faith — not imagination or feelings — will be able to realize and appreciate His presence.
