THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE WITHERED HAND

I was reading Mark 3:1-6 where the liberal Herodians and the conservative religious “God Squad” devise a plot to trap Jesus with ultimate hopes to kill him. This alliance was like putting Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie together or Ulysses Grant and Robert E. Lee together. The only thing that could bring the religious leaders and the Herodians together was a ferocious hatred of Jesus.

The setting is the synagogue on a Sabbath. Rabbi Jesus is teaching, and the diabolical leaders are salivating because they have planted a guy with a withered hand in the front row. When Jesus heals him, the packed house will yell, “Gotcha!” The whole ordeal angers and deeply distresses Jesus. It’s hard for Jesus to stomach so-called men of God who don’t give a rip about hurting people. Jesus does not let these shenanigans keep him from one huge grace-giving act.

Incredibly, Jesus asks the man with the withered hand to stand up in front of everyone and stretch out his hand. Huh? The guy was probably super self-conscious and was living with shame. Why make the man’s weakness so public? This was the worst day of the man’s life until it wasn’t. The hinge of the story is the man’s exposed weakness, which, when healed, becomes the epic account we are still talking about.

Can you see yourself in the story? Don’t think of yourself as Jesus. You and I are the guy with the withered hand! We have weaknesses, brokenness, junk, secrets, shame, and vulnerabilities. The choice is to keep things HIDDEN or bring them to Jesus to be HEALED. We must say, “I Can’t. He Can. I Surrender.”

We are not meant to live in our own power. In fact, God has rigged the universe. It only runs on Him. If we keep all our shame, failure, and weakness to ourselves, we cannot be healed. Stretch out your hand. You were made to be known, to be loved, and to be touched by Jesus. He says, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” (2 Cor. 12:9-10)

Enter into the Fellowship of the Withered Hand.

Chaplain Michael Sprague

 Persevering Faith  

I waited patiently for the Lord; And He inclined to me, and heard my cry.
He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay,
And set my feet upon a rock, And established my steps.
He has put a new song in my mouth—Praise to our God;
Many will see it and fear, And will trust in the Lord.

 Blessed is that man who makes the Lord his trust, And does not respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
Many, O Lord my God, are Your wonderful works Which You have done;
And Your thoughts toward us Cannot be recounted to You in order;
If I would declare and speak of them, They are more than can be numbered.

 Sacrifice and offering You did not desire; My ears You have opened.
Burnt offering and sin offering You did not require.
Then I said, “Behold, I come; In the scroll of the book it is written of me.
I delight to do Your will, O my God, And Your law is within my heart.”

I have proclaimed the good news of righteousness In the great assembly;
Indeed, I do not restrain my lips, O Lord, You Yourself know.
 I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart;
I have declared Your faithfulness and Your salvation;
I have not concealed Your loving kindness and Your truth
From the great assembly.

 Do not withhold Your tender mercies from me, O Lord;
Let Your lovingkindness and Your truth continually preserve me.
 For innumerable evils have surrounded me;
My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up;
They are more than the hairs of my head;
Therefore my heart fails me.

 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me; O Lord, make haste to help me!
Let them be ashamed and brought to mutual confusion
Who seek to destroy my ^[a]life;
Let them be driven backward and brought to dishonor
Who wish me evil.
 Let them be confounded because of their shame,
Who say to me, “Aha, aha!”

 Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;
Let such as love Your salvation say continually,
“The Lord be magnified!”
 But I am poor and needy; Yet the Lord thinks upon me.
You are my help and my deliverer; Do not delay, O my God. Psalm 40 (NKJ)

Morning Line: Love Holds the Key!

1 Corinthians 13:2” If I speak God’s Word with power, revealing mysteries and making all plain as day, and if I have faith that moves mountains, but I don’t love, I’m nothing”

Faith is a powerful force. God’s Faith is tempered in Agape Love. Not used to control or beat someone up.

God’s love is for experiencing and sharing. As you have God’s love. You increase in mountain-moving faith.

 Colossians 3:14  “above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfectness…”

Love is the mortar holding the key to true life, mercy, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering, forbearance, forgiveness, faith, and hope. Jesus is the key unlocking all God’s love in your life. Don’t worry about what you don’t have; let God show you what you do have, continuing to trust Him and grow in love. God at work in you is more than you could ever imagine. Let Go Let God, and Shine!

Daily, let God’s Word pour into your heart until it overflows; when you need its power, it will pour back out of you in power and might to take care of the day before you.

Trust God, Trust His Love, Trust His “Word”, Trust the Process!

Morning Line: I Will, I Will, I Will I Won’t

What are you Thinking? What you think with your mind changes your brain and your body; you are designed with the power to switch on your brain. Your mind and will are the switch.

You can, through conscious effort, gain control of your thoughts and feelings, and in doing so, you can change the programming and chemistry of your brain.

What you are thinking every moment of every day becomes a physical reality in your brain and body, which affects your optimal mental and physical health and performance.

It’s your choice; you are in control.  By Dr Caroline Leaf

Deuteronomy 30:19 (NKJV) “ I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; “

2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV) “ For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”

2 Corinthians 10:5 (KJV) “Casting down imaginations….against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;.”

2 Corinthians 10:5 emphasizes the importance of taking control of thoughts and arguments that oppose the knowledge of God, urging believers to align their thinking with Christ’s teachings

Remember this simple thought: “I will – I will -I will I won’t” is your personal choice.

What will you speak into your life today?

Daily, let God’s Word pour into your heart until it overflows; when you need its power, it will pour back out of you in power and might to take care of the day before you.

Trust in the Lord

Do not worry because of evildoers, nor be envious toward wrongdoers;
² 
For they will wither quickly like the grass, and fade like the green herb.
³ 
Trust [rely on and have confidence] in the Lord and do good;
Dwell in the land and feed [securely] on His faithfulness.
⁴ 
Delight yourself in the Lord,
And He will give you the desires and petitions of your heart.
⁵ 
Commit your way to the Lord; Trust in Him also, and He will do it.
⁶ 
He will make your righteousness [your pursuit of right standing with God] like the light,
And your judgment like [the shining of] the noonday [sun].

²² 
For those blessed by God will [at last] inherit the land,
But those cursed by Him will be cut off.

²³ 
The steps of a [good and righteous] man are directed and established by the Lord,
And He delights in his way [and blesses his path].
²⁴ 
When he falls, he will not be hurled down,
Because the Lord is the One who holds his hand and sustains him.
²⁵ 
I have been young, and now I am old,
Yet I have not seen the righteous (those in right standing with God) abandoned
Or his descendants pleading for bread.
²⁸ 
For the Lord delights in justice and does not abandon His saints (faithful ones);
They are preserved forever, but the descendants of the wicked will [in time] be cut off.
²⁹ 
The righteous will inherit the land And live in it forever.

³⁰ 
The mouth of the righteous proclaims wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice and truth.
³¹ 
The law of his God is in his heart; Not one of his steps will slip. Psalm 37: 1-6, 23-25, 28-31  (AMP)

MORNING LINE: In Step Wins

 We battle stress daily, but God is faithful. We can count on Him to be with us every step of the way. Let go of worry. Worry is a trust issue stemming from our desire to be in control. We keep trying to fix tomorrow’s problems with today’s resources.

God has said:  “When you go through deep waters and great trouble, I will be with you…you will not drown…you will not be burned up…” Isaiah 43:2

Pray this: Father God, help me be in step, in rhythm and flow with you, led by your Holy Spirit.

Getting in step with the Holy Spirit, letting Him set your pace, letting Him have the reins, staying teachable, renewing your mind to God’s way is peaceful, and will guide gate to wire.

By standing in faith, responding with confidence that God is working on our behalf for our best, we find peace and direction.

“Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge…” Proverbs 12:1(NKJV)

Get Up, Get Going, Live Life in step with God as He sets the pace for the race, leading you to many victories.

GOD is with YOU, Fear Not.

Daily, let God’s Word pour into your heart until it overflows; when you need its power, it will pour back out of you in power and might to take care of the day before you.

Declare Your Faith

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
When the wicked came against me to eat up my flesh,
My enemies and foes, they stumbled and fell.
Though an army may encamp against me,

My heart shall not fear;

Though war may rise against me, in this I will be confident.

One thing I have desired of the Lord,
That will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord
All the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord,
And to inquire in His temple.
For in the time of trouble
He shall hide me in His pavilion;
In the secret place of His tabernacle
He shall hide me;
He shall set me high upon a rock.

And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me;
Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.

Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice!
Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
When You said, “Seek My face,”
My heart said to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.”
Do not hide Your face from me; Do not turn Your servant away in anger;
You have been my help;
Do not leave me nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.
 When my father and my mother forsake me,
Then the Lord will take care of me.

 Teach me Your way, O Lord, and lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies.
Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries;
For false witnesses have risen against me,
And such as breathe out violence.
I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

 Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the Lord! Psalm 27 (NKJ)

 Stand boldly on God’s Word today; it is your sure foundation.

MORNING LINE: He’s Defeated!

‘the devil who betrayed them was thrown into the lake of fire, joining the beast, false prophets, and teachers.”  Revelation. 20:10

We have all prayed to get the devil off our backs; it is already done.

Jesus defeated him at the cross

“ On their hands they will bear you up, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone. You will tread on the lion and the adder, the young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot^. Those who love me, I will deliver; I will protect those who know my name.” Psalm 91:12-14

You are to be a Winner, gate to wire.
