Nothing is Too Hard For Jesus

Scripture For The Day 

 August 30, 2022

A.B. Simpson, a pastor, was approaching middle age. He was broken in health and his spirit became so low that he was ready to quit the ministry. One day he heard a spiritual song…”Nothing is too hard for Jesus, No man can work like Him” He later turned this old spiritual into a hymn. This spiritual message spoke to his heart in a way that he was never the same afterward. He worked for The LORD thirty-five more years after that moment of clarity and then he slipped into a coma and died. Before he did, his last words were to God, praying for the missionaries and others he felt responsible for. His Faith helped him to carry on when his body felt like giving up.

“Oft there comes a wondrous message when my hopes are growing dim, I can hear it thro’ the darkness, like some sweet and far-off hymn. Nothing is too hard for Jesus, No man can work like Him; Nothing is too hard for Jesus, No man can work like Him”  

I’ve had those moments myself of feeling like giving up. People can be frustrating, we, ourselves are frustrating and the struggles of life and health are Real. But just like Jeremiah told us in Jeremiah 32:17 “Ah LORD God! Behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by Thy Great Power and Stretched out arm, and there is NOTHING too hard for Thee: “ Jesus tells us Himself in Matthew 19:26 “With men this is impossible, but with God ALL things are possible”. I’m not going to assume I know the future. But He has proven Himself time and time again, though He has no need to. And because of His Love for us, He will make a way when the way seems impossible. He will lift us up when our bodies are bringing us down. He can make our spirits soar when our faith is at its lowest. Because ... NOTHING IS TOO HARD FOR JESUS, NO MAN CAN WORK LIKE HIM!

Thank You, Jesus, Thank You, JESUS!

Hide It Under a Bushel? NO!

   Scripture For The Day  December 19, 2023 Luke 19 part 1 "Hide It Under a Bushel? NO!"  And Jesus passed through Jericho. Jericho had a lot of history, even at that time. It was a major trading center and there was a wealthy tax collector named Zaccheus who lived and worked there. He heard about Jesus and decided to see for himself. But he was a short man and there were a lot of people traveling with Jesus and a huge crowd lining the street waiting to see Jesus pass by. Less than 15 miles away, Jesus had just raised Lazarus from the dead. He was a rockstar. So, Zaccheus ran up ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Jesus. As soon as Jesus got to the tree, He looked up and said “Zaccheus, make haste, and come down; for today I must abide at thy house.” I bet y’all are singing the song right now…I was. 😊 The crowd began to murmur. How could Jesus eat with a sinner like this dishonest tax collector? Zaccheus was so overwhelmed with the love of Jesus that he

He Restores My Soul

Scripture For The Day    November 14, 2023 "He Restores My Soul"  Psalm 23- Most of us know this beloved Psalm. The LORD is our Shepherd and we who believe are His Sheep. However in recent years, the label of ‘sheep’ has become a derogatory term. I don’t care. I am so very thankful that I am part of His flock. So, Baa Baa baby. Call me a sheep. I know that I matter to Him just as much as the other sheep in His flock. No more, no less. In His Word, His people are never described as lions. But as meek and dependent sheep that depend upon a Shepherd. I’ll take that any day. Because it’s The Truth. I learned this passage when I was a little girl. But no one took the time to teach me what it meant. So, I was always confused by the first verse” “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.” Why? I would ask The LORD? Why can’t I ‘want’ You? I Love You and I do ‘want’ You to be with me. It wasn’t until I was much older and studying on my own that I discovered the word ‘want” meant

Aijeleth Shahar

  Scripture For The Day  November 13 th , 2023 "Aijeleth Shahar"  Psalm 22 has David assigning this song to the director of the corporate worship stating it is to be sung or chanted by “Aijeleth Shahar” translated means by the hind of the dawn or “The Deer of The Dawn”. Made me think of how sometimes there are little songs for kids to learn and they often use the tune of “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” for them to learn them better. Psalm 22 is a cry of anguish and as per usual a song of Praise. And by the very first verse, we can read words that Jesus Christ, Himself, spoke on The Cross. Jesus often quoted scriptures.  “My God, My God, why hast Thou Forsaken Me? (why art thou so) far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?” You have no idea how deeply this verse spoke to me today. I woke up early this morning thinking of the word Forsake. So, as I type I am asking The LORD, “What are you bringing to my heart today?” to forsake means to abandon or turn against. Mak
