I don’t know if God will speak to me today, but my part is to separate some
time to pray! I don’t know if there will be a message for me today from
God’s Word, but my part is to separate some time to read!

We take steps and leave impressions.
We make choices and leave an influence.
We labour and leave an inheritance.
The greatest inheritance one can leave for another is a worthy example.

Ask with humility, seek with sincerity and knock with constancy.

We become great by being small.
We live only by dying.
We become wise by becoming fools.
We possess all things by being nothing.
We are strong when we are weak.
We rest under the yoke.
We reign by serving.

The gospel is the only thing that will give hope in this life, comfort in
death, confidence in the Day of Judgment, joy through all eternity.

RE – those letters form a syllable – it means “again”. RENEW, REDEEM,
REHEARSE, RESTORE, REVIVE, RECONCILE, REPAIR, AND RECYCLE.

In Genesis 49, Jacob had a message for his twelve sons. It is a picture of a fellowship meeting. There was a wonderful cross-section of people. Twelve men, like a fellowship meeting. Who was the feeder? How many feeders are there? Judah is the one who had the sceptre. A picture of
righteousness and truth. Upholding the sceptre. Zebulon was spoken of as a haven for ships, very warm and kind. We appreciate people like that. Others fill a very helpful position. Issachar was the burden-bearer who could take responsibilities.

In that meeting who were the feeders? Four brothers: Asher had royal
dainties, something small, sweet, tasty, come from the King’s table. He had got into the presence of God and got something small and sweet, very
helpful in a fellowship meeting. Naphtali giveth good words but they are not of much use if they do not have a godly life backing them up. Joseph was a fruitful bough whose branches run over the wall for others to feed on. Benjamin, in the morning he would be like a raven, but in the evening he would divide the spoil. He had an appetite to feed in the morning, but at the end of the day he had something he could share with others. At the end of the week, I wonder if we have something to bring and to share with others.

Through the years I have proved the dependability of God. Now I hear the
echo in my heart, “May the Lord depend on you?”

Regarding the rich man and Lazarus. The rich man was buried, and the beggar was carried. (Rich man died and was buried. Lazarus was carried into Abraham’s bosom where there was comfort.)

Miracle of mercy. There is no surgeon’s scalpel that can heal a broken heart or a bruised person.

Get up, get up for Jesus’ sake.
Ye soldiers of the cross,
Sleeping in on a Sunday morning,
Is surely your harm and loss.

If Christians on a weekday,
Can go to work by seven,
They surely can on a Sunday morning,
Be at the meeting by eleven. (or ten thirty!)
