"God's Still On The Throne!"

"Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, singing: 'To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, forever and ever!'" (Revelation 5:13).

Today, our ministry will take us on a number of one-on-one encounters; from a businessman/friend who faces ongoing challenges in leading his company during these troubled economic times, to a hospital where a young girl has for several years faced a devastating illness.  We'll be sharing with a person who has sat under a false religious teaching but is now looking for answers that will help him sort truth from error.  And then, just like those reading our message today, there will be the possibility of unexpected divine encounters that God provides throughout the day.

When we're facing difficulties or sorting out perplexing matters often believers will attempt to bring comfort and reassurance by saying, "Remember, God's still on the throne." It's a way of stating that God is in control even though the trial we're encountering may appear as a thick cloud covering over the eternal truths stated repeatedly throughout the Bible.

In today's Scripture text the writer of Revelation gives us a wonderful view of our Father in heaven.  The throne represents absolute authority. It is not an earthly throne but a heavenly throne. There is only One who is supremely sovereign.

Jeremiah, who lived throughout one of the most challenging times in history, makes a great declaration of faith, acknowledging, "You, O LORD, reign forever; Your throne endures from generation to generation" (Lamentations 5:19)

What tremendous assurance it is to know that our Father is sitting on His throne with the Lamb, who was slain before the foundations of the world.  Of course the Lamb is Jesus Christ, whom John the Baptist identified as "The Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world" (John 1:29).  When Jesus Christ ascended to heaven He sat down at the right hand of the Father (Hebrews 1:3).

In the very midst of Stephen's encounter with his stoning death by the angry mob, he saw Jesus standing at the right hand of God. I have wondered if the Father was also standing! Stephen's  revelation, invisible to others but visible to him, shows us that our Savior cares and is genuinely interested when we encounter warfare here on earth. He can rescue us from danger or He will use the conflict to bring glory to Himself.

The throne indicates His absolute authority and control.  The events that so distress us are not in any way worrying our Father.  He's not pacing back and forth wringing his hands, second guessing everything that He has brought to pass or will do in the future. 

Theologian A.W. Pink states, "Divine sovereignty means that God is God in fact, as well as in name, that He is on the Throne of the universe directing all things." Does this mean that I fully understand or am never distressed?  Of course not.  But as I've grown in my knowledge and trust in God through the years I have found great peace based on His sovereignty.

Remember and rejoice today, He is sitting on His throne!


Be encouraged today,


Stephen & Brooksyne Weber

Daily prayer: Father, we don't have to worry that You are nowhere to be found.  We have Your Spirit abiding in our hearts and we know that You sit upon the throne in heaven.  Though we cannot see You we believe in You and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy even in the midst of difficulties here on earth. We eagerly await the second coming of Christ when we will be caught up with Him in the air or when You call us home through death.  Thank You for Jesus who makes intercession for us as He sits at Your right hand.  It is in His name that we pray.  Amen.



Pony cart ride 7/29/10
Yesterday we approached this pony and cart near Martindale, PA

Corn close to road 7/29/10We pased this on our walk last night. I am not sure how this farmer gets by with planting his corn right to the edge of the road (normally there's a four or five foot grass buffer) but I suppose it does increase his yield! We call a narrow lane or road between two rows of high corn a "corn canyon" (see 
photo) If there was corn on the other side of the road this close it would really be a corn canyon!
















Hess barn & flowers
Brooksyne snapped this photo in front of our neighbor's barn.

Here's a bit closer-up. Frankly, although I like fresh paint jobs, I also like the character look of peeling paint on an old barn!

I don't recall ever hearing or singing this song but I sure find the lyrics powerful. 

He's on the throne with His mighty power exalted.
And within His hand, great joy He holds.
Don't despair, be not afraid, intercession has been made.
And today, I'm glad to say, He's on the throne.

In the midst of pain and suffering,
Many friends had gathered 'round.
All were trying to bring comfort, but no comfort could be found.
Even some began to murmur, Job, You've suffered for so long.
Yet He said, "I'm gonna trust Him, He's sitting on the throne".

Are You captive to a prison of temptation and defeat?
You have never tasted victory, over your spirit sorrow sweeps.
Like Isaiah in the throne room, raise your head you're not alone.
For He's high and lifted up, and He's sitting on the throne.

"The Breakers" Newport, Rhode Island

"The Breakers"
Newport, Rhode Island

ListenListen to this message on your audio player.

"Loving Jesus"

"Though you have not seen Him, you love Him; and even though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls" (1 Peter 1:8,9).

If ever there was a Scripture to bring our priorities into focus it is found in I Peter 1:8,9.  It is a picture of our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.  So many things will come to pass when we cross over to the other side but in the meantime we are designed to thoroughly enjoy our relationship with Jesus here on earth. This passage also describes the temporal and eternal blessings of the "abundant life" promised by Jesus in John 10:10. Our ultimate goal and intentional focus is that of our own salvation and those whom we have opportunity to influence for Jesus.

Cliffwalk in Newport, Rhode Island (click on photo to enlarge)When we view the breathtaking oceanic scenes along the cliffwalk and tour the mansions in Newport, Rhode Island Brooksyne has often said, "I wonder if Newport is a foretaste of the sights that will be commonly viewed in heaven." A great old hymn of the church majestically states in the 4th stanza:



In mansions of glory and endless delight,
I'll ever adore thee in heaven so bright,
I'll sing with the glittering crown on my brow,
If ever I loved thee, my Jesus 'tis now.

We consider heaven and perhaps visualize mansions, streets of gold, a crystal clear river and other incredible scenes as described in the Bible. But I believe the hymn correctly expresses that the main focus in heaven, as it should be on earth, is that we will be loving Jesus.

Peter had seen the Lord and walked with Him during His earthly ministry. In his final recorded personal encounter with the Lord three times he heard Christ ask him, "Do you love me?" Three times Peter responded, "Lord, You know that I love you."

Now Peter writes to early Christians with a certainty that they loved the Lord, "You love Him." Unlike Peter, but so like us, these early believers had never seen the Lord and were presently living in a state of faith not sight, "even though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him."

This belief results in being, "filled with
an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls."

Today amidst all the stuff and distractions of life wherever you live I encourage you to consider this verse, which is such a key to living the abundant life. Read it, perhaps aloud, as if the great apostle were speaking directly to you and rejoice deep within your spirit! "Though you have not seen Him, you love Him; and even though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls."


Be encouraged today,


Stephen & Brooksyne Weber

Daily prayer: "Lord, it seems that the things we touch with our hands and the people we physically see with our eyes are the major focus of our day. Our daily plans can obscure the presence of the Mighty One who desires to be at the very heart of all that we do and say.  This day we express our love for you. Would You, through the power of Your Holy Spirit, speak directly to our hearts and reveal Your spiritual presence in the midst of our activities this day.  May we be filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy as we rely upon Your promises.  And, Lord, may our major goal today and everyday, be the salvation of those we meet in our various spheres of influence.  In Jesus' Name, Amen."

SIRDS image (click to enlarge)
Yesterday I shared a photo of a SIRDS I had created using an online generator. Although I knew what it is supposed to say I still can't see it myself! Kudos to readers who responded with the correct answer, which is "bejoyful" (the generator limits the number of letters and I had to delete the space). Of course the message is "Be Joyful"!

Sunflowers grown for wholesale

Sunflowers
These are being grown commercially on a wholesale flower farm up the road from us. As we passed by yesterday the field workers were harvesting them.  This photo does not capture the beauty of the setting.  It appeared as though there were little faces with yellow hair and whiskers or colorful periscopes peeping through the rows of green foliage!

"Fixing Our Eyes"

"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal" (2 Corinthians 4:18).


SIRD image (click to enlarge)

About fifteen years ago SIRDS were very popular. SIRDS are images like the one above that appear to make no sense at all until you focus your vision a certain way. Then a powerful image or word just seems to lift right out of the panoramic picture. I found an online SIRDS creator and created the image above but frankly I must admit for the life of me I can't see the words I intended to create, though I do know what I wrote and will likely be viewed by our skilled SIRDS interpreters.  I welcome readers to try and report to me if they see it.

Lorna was a lady in our church who knew that I enjoyed these SIRDS and gave me one with a Christian message. We hung it in on a wall in the overflow area of our church.  People would attempt to show me just how to squint or how to look at it at a certain angle, but even then I just couldn't see it. After someone would go to great lengths to help me find the missing picture they'd say, "You see it
now don't you?" I actually felt rather foolish and pressured to say "O yeah, now I see it."  But truth be told I never did.

It seems to me that the spiritual realm is in some respects like a SIRDS. As we look about we see the temporal realm. Now in many ways it's beautiful since we are looking at God's design, unlike the initial random, meaningless image in a SIRDS.

But like a SIRDS there's more to reality that we do not initially see and that is what the apostle Paul calls the "unseen" in the daily Scripture verse. Now I believe that by grace we can all see this realm, but it does require an intentional fixing of our eyes on this unseen realm. This is the essence of faith. One version states we "consider and look." The underlying Greek word is where we get the word "scope".

This illustrates a great spiritual principle.  I am especially mindful of readers who are going through difficult times as they read this. We hit upon this theme repeatedly for that is a large focus of our Daily Encouragement messages. The verse that precedes our text declares, "For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all" (2 Corinthians 4:17). 

In God's plan of redemption the temporal troubles we see from day to day are one of the ways we share in Christ's suffering. But the future reward invisible to our physical eyes is that we will eternally share His glory. "If we are to share His glory, we must also share His suffering" (Romans 8:17).

We encourage you to call this verse to mind when enduring a lengthy trial, keeping in mind that the trial is temporary but sharing His glory is eternal. We joyfully claim the first part of the verse and choose not to focus on the latter half especially when we get to the dreaded word, "suffering", but suffering and glory are both experienced in the life of the believer. This is evident throughout Scriptural teaching and also in the lives of Bible characters in their experiences throughout life.

There's also one other danger that the text addresses:  Not only do we need the awareness of the temporariness of what is seen when going through the hard times but also when we're enjoying the good times. We are a blessed people!  Moses warned the Israelites that when you prosper, don't forget the Lord (Deuteronomy 6:10ff). 

Remember in our present existence that which is seen is temporary, but that which we see through spiritual eyes is eternal. 


Be encouraged today,


Stephen & Brooksyne Weber

Daily Prayer: Jesus, in the maze of life's events where we're often a passenger on the rollercoaster of life's ups and downs, may we never lose sight of You.  You are the unseen but ever-present Shepherd who protects, guides and tenderly comforts us in all our trouble. Thank You, Lord, that when change is constantly about us, You remain steadfast, faithful, and dependable.  You are the Anchor that keeps us grounded in the unseen eternal truths that we build our lives upon.  Keep us faithful and help us to always believe!  Amen.
