Your All in All
By Jan Ross | 1 Comment
“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart . . .” (Proverbs 3:5)
Trust . . . a small word with a big meaning!
A child finds it so easy to trust his parents for they have given him everything he needs to sustain him in life plus they have given him unconditional love and affection.
Our level of trust is solely dependent upon our level of intimacy and communion with the Lord. Once we have realized that He has given us everything we need to sustain us . . . once we have found Him to be the source of unconditional love and affection, then our level of trust will exceed and surpass any doubt or fear in the midst of life’s sorrows and disappointments.

Consider Your Pursuit

“Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.” (Philippians 4:17)
A servant’s heart . . . what does that have to do with this verse? Everything!
Paul had a servant’s heart; he had a heart to minister to the people, to spread the good news of Jesus Christ, to see people’s lives changed, to witness the miracle of precious, holy fruit growing in the lives of all those who heard his message. Although the need may have been there for Paul to receive a monetary blessing from the people he ministered to, his heart—his servant’s heart—so much more desired to see fruit abounding in the lives of these people.

Mercy Met Justice
By Jan Ross | Comments Off
“Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.” (Jude 1:21)
The Cross . . . where Mercy met Justice!
We should have received death, yet we’ve been given life. We should have been beaten and crucified, yet we’ve been set free from the penalty of sin.
Jude fully understood Mercy as he admonished us to “look for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.”

Out of Bondage

“And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt” (Exodus 13:17)
The Israelites had just been delivered from the hand of Pharaoh, the relentless ruler whose heart was hardened toward them. God had a plan for His people , a plan that would take time – His time.

Anointing Flows in Unity
By Jan Ross | Comments Off
“And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.” (Genesis 11:6-7)
Nimrod, whose name means “rebellion”, sought to build a tower reaching the heavens so they could make a name for themselves. The earth was of one language, the people were one, and because of that they were powerful; there was nothing they could not accomplish because they were in one accord.

A Burden of Conviction
By Jan Ross | Comments Off
“Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.” (Psalm 66:16)
The Lord has dealt with me me and taught me about the “fear of God” on and off for years. In many ways, throughout my day, He is revealing to me areas in which I have become casual toward His Sovereignty, Holiness, and Righteousness. If we would be truthful with ourselves, we would ALL feel the burden of conviction when it comes to recognizing and revering the Sovereignty, Holiness, and Righteousness of our Creator.
