More beautiful promises from God's Word...
"And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness shall be quietness and assurance forever." (Isa. 32:17)
Do you have peace? Are you resting in Him? What sweet peace He brings... And as I read His Word, how I long for MORE of Him!
Referencing this passage, Inspiration tells us:
"Your sins may be as mountains before you; but if you humble your heart and confess your sins, trusting in the merits of a crucified and risen Saviour, He will forgive and will cleanse you from all unrighteousness. God demands of you entire conformity to His law. This law is the echo of His voice saying to you, Holier, yes, holier still. Desire the fullness of the grace of Christ. Let your heart be filled with an intense longing for His righteousness, the work of which God’s word declares is peace, and its effect quietness and assurance forever.
As your soul yearns after God, you will find more and still more of the unsearchable riches of His grace. As you contemplate these riches you will come into possession of them and will reveal the merits of the Saviour’s sacrifice, the protection of His righteousness, the fullness of His wisdom, and His power to present you before the Father “without spot, and blameless.” 2 Peter 3:14. (Acts of the Apostles, p. 566, 567)I praise the Lord for the riches of the grace of Christ!
[Just finishing a beautiful Adventist Heritage Tour up the New England states. Seeing the courage and faith of the early pioneers makes me homesick for heaven! So many lessons we've learned... can't even begin to recount them all. What a special once-in-a-lifetime-experience!]
Tomorrow's Reading: Isa. 33-34 and Hebrews 2
