Tears then Joy

Episode 338

Angus Buchan

Psalm 126
"When the Lord brought back the captivity of Zion,
We were like those who dream.
Then our mouth was filled with laughter,
And our tongue with singing.
Then they said among the nations,
“The Lord has done great things for them.”
The Lord has done great things for us,
And we are glad.
Bring back our captivity, O Lord,
As the streams in the South.
Those who sow in tears
Shall reap in joy.
He who continually goes forth weeping,
Bearing seed for sowing,
Shall doubtless come again with rejoicing,
Bringing his sheaves with him."

Choices

Deuteronomy 10:12, Revelation 3:16, Joshua 24:15

Who are you serving? Are you serving man or are you serving God? God would rather that we be either red hot or ice cold, not lukewarm. Revelation 3:16. Deuteronomy 10:12. People are looking for those who will stand up for righteousness and what they believe no matter what. We need to make choices today. God is a holy God. Joshua 24:15.

No turning back

Luke 9:62, Hebrews 11:1, Hebrews 11:6, Matthew 7:7

Luke 9:62. As a farmer, Uncle Angus understands the principal of ploughing: you need to plough straight and deep. A farmer needs by faith, to put their plough into the ground and go forward. If he starts to doubt and look back to check, it will throw his direction off and effect the whole field. Jesus is telling us not to keep turning back. Hebrews 11:1, 6. Matthew 7:7.

Mindful of us

Psalm 8:4–6, Hebrews 13:5, Matthew 8:25

Are you feeling lonely or forgotten, like there is no hope left for you? Uncle Angus wants to encourage you today. Psalms 8:4-6. God has made you in His own image, He is mindful of you. Hebrews 13:5. The Lord says that He will never leave us nor forsake us, He will not leave us as orphans. Matthew 8:25.
