Rejoice

Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again –rejoice!

Philippians 4:4

The Apostle Paul’s letter to the Philippians is one of his prison letters. It is important that we remember this as we read his letter. This is especially true as we read the verse quoted above, and the passage following:

“And this same God who takes care of me

will supply all your needs from

his glorious riches,

which have been given to us

in Christ Jesus.”

Philippians 4:19

In Acts of the Apostles, chapter 16, we read about Paul and Silas’ experiences in Philippi, and that they were in jail there. In the Letter to the Philippians, Paul is writing to the church in Philippi from a prison cell. In both instances, Paul was entirely focused on God, not his situation. This is what Paul means when he writes, “Always be full of joy in the Lord.” As Christians, our joy, our happiness is IN the Lord: “. . . your real life is hidden with Christ in God.” (Colossians 3:3) We are seeking our real life in Christ, as the way of our life, day by day.

Paul wasn’t in denial when he and Silas were in chains in a jail in Philippi. Rather than focusing on their discomfort in the jail, Paul and Silas choose to pray and to sing hymns to God. Similarly, when Paul was in prison in Rome, he choose to pray and to encourage his brothers and sisters in Christ in the church of Philippi.

My Takeaway: Hebrews 12:2 implores us to keep our eyes on Jesus. Like Paul, in times of distress, we can choose to focus on the truth that nothing can separate us from God’s love for us in Christ Jesus. And we can join our voices with the psalmist and proclaim, “This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.” (Psalm 118:24)

Wholly Present

Meditations on

Staying In the Grace for Today

February 9, 2026

Wholly Present

Yet it was our weaknesses he carried;

it was our sorrows that weighed him down.

And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God,

a punishment for his own sins!

But he was pierced for our rebellion,

crushed for our sins.

He was beaten so we could be whole.

He was whipped so we could be healed.

Isaiah 53:4-5

One of theologian Karl Barth’s most famous phrases is, “God is wholly other.” This term is understood as describing God as transcendent, unique, and fundamentally different from anything in the created world. This is true and points to the difficulty we have in comprehending God as Trinity. How can one God be three in one? This is incomprehensible, of course, without faith. The term ‘wholly other’ has influenced much of our preaching, and certainly many of our older hymns. Through the rise of contemporary praise and worship music, worshippers have been able to articulate the personal, wholly-present God envisioned in the prophesy of Isaiah above.

Isaiah wants us to grasp the reality of God who we can experience as,

You keep track of all my sorrows.

You have collected all my tears in your bottle.

You have recorded each one in your book.

This I know: God is on my side!

Psalm 56:8,9b

When I read Isaiah and the psalmist, I begin to grasp that Jesus fully understands the anxiety I am feeling now. (As I write this, a severe winter storm is forecast, and I have winter whether responsibilities for our HOA.) Jesus fully understands the sorrow I am experiencing for the recent deaths of friends. Jesus fully understands the sorrow I feel for strain in relationships. Jesus fully understands my frustration in my efforts to age gracefully. And Jesus fully understands my feelings when Ben Fuller’s lyrics resonate within me:

I stand in front of the mirror

But I don't like who's looking back at me

Jesus isn’t disappointed with me when I have such thoughts. Rather, He just keeps working in me to imbed these lyrics deep within my soul:

Who I am in the eyes of the Father

Who I am His love set free

Who I was I left at the altar

I am Yours Lord, I believe

It's who I am

I'm a child of the most-high God

and the most-high God's for me

Who I Am

Ben Fuller, 2022

My Takeaway: The “wholly other” has adopted me as His child. The most-high God is wholly present in my life. He is for me!!!

Our Mission

Meditations on

Staying In the Grace for Today

February 6, 2026

Our Mission

“. . . the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others

and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Matthew 20:28

Matthew gave us an excellent mission statement for Jesus. Luke was equally succinct; “For the Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost.” (Luke 19:10) Jesus’ first recorded words affirmed his understanding of His mission: “Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?” (Luke 2:49)

Throughout the four Gospels, Jesus is always very clear about his mission, his destiny. And He knew when He had completed His mission: “(Jesus) said, “It is finished.” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.” (John 19:30)

As I seek to make the life in Christ my way of life, as I seek to stay in God’s grace for each day, I know I must be continually aware of my mission, the work God has given me to accomplish. And I expect I will know when my mission is complete. By complete, I mean fulfilled to God’s specifications. I don’t want my mission to stop because God removes his anointing from me because of my inattention, or for wandering off on my own, chasing along some rabbit trail. I know there is a reward waiting for me, a crown of glory. But my focus is on my mission, not my crown. The church in Ephesus lost their way and Jesus called them to repent lest he remove his anointing from them. (See Revelation 2)

My Takeaway: Covey’s Seven Habits is an excellent guide to help us stay focused as we take responsibility for our life and our mission. We are to be proactive as we keep asking, seeking and knocking. We are always to stay focused on our mission, our assignment from God. And first things first; we don’t want to let the seemingly urgent things usurp the important thing; our mission from God.

Why Don’t We Ask?

Meditations on

Staying In the Grace for Today

February 5, 2026

Why Don’t We Ask?

The Lord is close to all who call on him,

yes, to all who call on him in truth.

Psalm 145:18

When Noah built an arc, lives were saved. When Moses raised his staff, the sea parted. When the soldiers marched, the walls of Jericho fell. When a boy shared his lunch, thousands were fed. When a woman touched the hem of his garment, Jesus stopped. The woman, we know her as Veronica, was healed. When Thomas stayed with his fellow disciples, Jesus opened his eyes so he could proclaim, “My Lord and my God.” When Peter returned to his Lord, he was made whole and received a great breakfast prepared by Jesus.

Jesus’ imperative is,

Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened. (Matthew 7:7-8)

Are you struggling with your life as a Christian? Don’t forsake the gathering with the saints of God. Keep going to church, to Bible studies, to accountability groups. God will find you there.

Whatever our point of need may be today, God promises to “supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19) The apostle Paul made this affirmation after affirming he had received gifts from the church in Philippi. Do you see the connection? We first act on our faith, we ask, seek and knock and Jesus says we will receive, find, and the door will open.

My Takeaway: We don’t have because we don’t ask God for it. (James 4:2-3) Why don’t we ask?

You Will Receive a Crown

Meditations on

Staying In the Grace for Today

February 4, 2026

You Will Receive a Crown

And when the Great Shepherd appears,

you will receive a crown of never-ending glory and honor.

1 Peter 5:4

When I was a junior, or maybe a senior, in High School I entered the American Legion Oratorical contest. After the speeches were made, I was told I had won the contest. The next day the school counselor came to my homeroom and told me a mistake had been made in the tabulations after the speeches. I came in second place. The metal I received sits in a container on my dresser, seldom seeing the light of day these sixty plus years later.

But my glorious Savior has promised me something eternally greater than my second-place metal; “a crown of never-ending glory and honor.”

In the meantime, as I wait for my Great Shepherd to appear, I am rewarded each day with living in His glorious presence. When my wife, Cheryl, and I talk with others about our life, we always say, we are living in the FOG. The FOG – the Favor of God. For me, my primary core value that keeps me in God’s favor is daily affirming, my life is not my own. I belong to God. By creation and redemption, I belong to God.

Like all people, I have a need to be loved, to be accepted, and to have a sense that my life matters. My Great Shepherd gave His life for me while I was yet a sinner. That is love. He accepts me as His friend, as His brother. That is true acceptance. There is no greater sense of self-esteem, a sense that our life matters, than affirming I am a child of God! And my God is for me! (Psalm 56)

My Takeaway: As we wait for His glorious appearance, let us hold fast to his enduring promise, “for thou art with me.” (Psalm 23:4) This promise keeps me in God’s grace for today.

To Live Among Us

Meditations on

Staying In the Grace for Today

February 3, 2026

To Live Among Us

The Lord says, “Shout and rejoice, O beautiful Jerusalem,

for I am coming to live among you.

Zechariah 2:10

The Gospel of John proclaims the fulfillment of Zechariah’s prophecy:

So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. (John 1:14)

Jesus is the Word. When he became human, He was still King of Kings and Lord of Lord’s. He could have retained His royal privilege, but the Apostle Paul tells us,

Though he was God,

he did not think of equality with God

as something to cling to.

Instead, he gave up his divine privileges;

he took the humble position of a slave

and was born as a human being.

Philippians 2:6-7

Our King of Kings, our Lord of Lord’s became one of us. He lived among people like us. He still dwells among us, and within us. Jesus came to be among us for all eternity. Jesus came to befriend sinners.

My Takeaway: How can we stay in God’s grace for today? By keeping our eyes on Jesus, the Holy One who came to live among us. Perhaps our greatest spiritual exercise is to meditate on the reality of the actual presence of Christ with us.

Don’t Stop

Don’t Stop

So let us not grow weary in doing what is right, for we will reap at harvest time, if we do not give up.

Galatians 6:9 (NRSV)

The Apostle Paul is affirming one of the greatest attributes of the first century church: patience. Paul believed that by trusting in God, the followers of Jesus should be patient—not trying to control events, not anxious or in a hurry.

As we rest in the assurance that God is at work within us (Philippians 2:13), we can patiently trust that God will form the life of the Beatitudes and the life of love that Paul celebrates in 1 Corinthians 13 within us. Paul calls us to fully embrace a patient lifestyle:

“And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.”

Philippians 1:6

Our patience is rooted in God’s character; God is patient and is working relentlessly across time to accomplish his mission. The heart of patience is revealed in Jesus Christ. Jesus’s life and teaching demonstrate what patience means and calls us who follow him to a patient lifestyle that participates in God’s mission. Patience is hopeful; it entrusts the future confidently to God. Therefore, we can joyfully embrace Paul’s encouragement: “So let us not grow weary in doing what is right, for we will reap at harvest time, if we do not give up” (Galatians 6:9 NRSV).

My Takeaway: As we confidently trust today and our future to God, we will find ourselves secure in God’s grace for today, and each day.

He Was Compassionate

Meditations on

Staying In the Grace for Today

January 30, 2026

He Was Compassionate

So they left by boat for a quiet place, where they could be alone.

Jesus saw the huge crowd as he stepped from the boat, and he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.

Mark 6:32,34

There are two ways of our culture that are opposed to the ways of God. The first is Performance-Based Acceptance. How we perform may be essential to our acceptance into an athletic Hall of Fame, or world class orchestra, but it is not the way of our spiritual life. Our right-standing with God is based on what Jesus did for us, not what we think we can do to please God or earn our place with Him. Regrettably, Performance-Based Acceptance has become the foundation of many personal relationships.

Secondly, our culture is very transactional. If we do something for someone, they feel compelled to return the favor. If we are gracious to someone, we expect them to return the favor. When we don’t get what we expect in return, we are miffed.

Jesus wanted peace and quiet. The crowds followed him. Jesus wasn’t miffed. He was compassionate. He taught them and he healed them, and he would feed them. I wonder how many thanked Him for their healing, or the wisdom he imparted to them, or for the abundant meal He provided? I suspect times haven’t changed much, so not many. Sometime later, some of them might have been in the crowd in Jerusalem calling for his blood. Even so, Jesus was compassionate. He taught them, and he healed them, and he fed them.

My Takeaway: I want my relationships to arise out of my life in Christ, not from the ways of the culture. I want to grow to be as compassionate as is my Lord Jesus.

A Heart at Peace

Meditations on

Staying In the Grace for Today

January 29, 2026

A Heart at Peace

But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others. It is full of mercy and the fruit of good deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere.

James 3:17

In discussing the wisdom God gives to his people, James mentions several attributes of wisdom: pure, peace loving, gentle, humble, merciful, flowing from good deeds, impartial, and sincere. The wisdom James describes is synonymous with Jesus.

Jesus has a peaceful heart. When the disciples fretted over how to feed to crowds, Jesus thanked God for the problem, then fed the people. When the disciples feared for their lives as their boat was caught up in a storm, Jesus slept. Peter drew a sword to fight the soldiers. Jesus lifted his hand to heal. Jesus’ heart was at peace.

James’ description of God’s wisdom can serve as a litmus test in our lives. How do we react when we encounter unexpected problems? Do we fret or do we pray? When faced with danger do we shout in fear, like the disciples did in the boat? When people all around us are shouting to advocate for policies that we detest, do we shout back or maybe even raise our fists? Jesus modeled the difference between reacting and responding. When we react, we become part of the problem. When we respond with gentleness, mercy and humility we bring healing to the problem.

My Takeaway: I may come across as naïve advocating for our gentleness, mercy and humility in a growing partisan and hostile culture. Maybe so, but I truly long for a heart at peace. I believe a heart at peace will stay firmly in God’s grace for today.

The Healing of Veronica

Meditations on

Staying In the Grace for Today

January 28, 2026

The Healing of Veronica

And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace. Your suffering is over.”

Mark 5:34

At the end of chapter four, Jesus challenged his disciples to reach for greater faith. Here in chapter five, Mark reveals the faith Jesus is longing for his followers to embrace. I find it interesting that this faith is modeled by a person who was not His disciple, at least not publicly following Him.

The early church wanted the woman with the bleeding problem in Mark 5:25-34 to be remembered always. They gave her the name of Veronica, and in the devotional exercise, The Stations of the Cross, she is the woman who wipes Jesus’ face at station six.

Veronica’s faith calls her to take huge risks. She was a woman reaching out to touch a man, The Teacher, in a public place, and because of her condition, she was deemed an unclean person. But she reaches out and touches Jesus because he is her only hope.

Jesus tells Veronica that it was her faith that made her well. I’ve read that Corrie ten Boom lived by the axiom: you will never know Jesus is all you need until Jesus is all you have. For Veronica, her only hope was in Jesus. Have you ever been there? I have. As I am writing this, I remember when I was riding in an ambulance to a hospital after suffering a heart attack. The heart attack occurred just five days after my wife’s cancer surgery. I was in shock. Then the Holy Spirit used a comment by the EMT in the ambulance to remind me I wasn’t alone. Although I still had much uncertainty, and it would be a few more days before I was scheduled for open heart surgery, all fear was gone. I could affirm that I was a child of God, and God was for me.

My Takeaway: I am blessed to have a comfortable life. I have friends, family, a full pantry, and savings and credit sufficient to meet normal contingencies. This can also be a bit of a curse, because if I can meet all my needs, I don’t need a lot of faith. God save me from such a delusion. Spiritually, I stand in Veronica’s shoes. We all do. Jesus is our only eternal hope.

God Is for Me

Meditations on

Staying In the Grace for Today

January 27, 2026

God Is for Me

No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:39

Paul began this section of his letter to the Romans with, “So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.” He ended this section by affirming that because we belong to Jesus, nothing in all of creation has the power to separate us from the love of God. If you are like me, there have been times when you didn’t feel close to God, when you doubted that God could love you. These are feelings of our old nature; they are not the truth of God. Over and against these ungodly feelings the anthem of the Christian rings out, “I am a child of God and God is for me.”

Often, there is a longing in my heart, Maranatha; Come Lord Jesus. Yes, I long for Christ to come in Final Victory to heal every heart and to right every wrong. Oh, the glory to live in the wonderful dominion where every knee will bow and every tongue will confess, “Jesus is Lord.” In that dominion, our old nature will be dead and gone. Our new nature will live eternally with God, our Creator and Redeemer.

But that dominion is then and here I am, in this present age, this here and now. Even so, “I am a child of God and God is for me, and nothing, NOTHING can separate me from God’s love for me in Christ Jesus.

My Takeaway: Today I want to stay in God’s grace, His love for me, and I pray,

O Lord, our Lord,

how excellent is Thy name in all the earth;

I worship Thee.

With all angels and saints I adore Thee.

I acknowledge Thee to be by Creator and my God.

I render Thee the homage of my being and my life.

I am not my own,

I am Thine.

By creation and redemption

I am Thine.

I will devote myself to Thy divine service

this day and forever.

O grant me grace for this, dear Lord.

Amen

Choose Today Whom You Will Serve

Meditations on

Staying In the Grace for Today

January 26, 2026

Choose Today Whom You Will Serve

Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of the mind, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Romans 12:2 (NRSV

When we come to God by faith in Jesus, we are baptized by the Holy Spirit into the Life of Christ, and we are transformed into a new creature. (See 2 Corinthians 5:17) As such, we are in essence a dichotomy. Our old nature, our old self, is still very much alive and sharply contrasts with our new spiritual nature. Our mission is to learn to differentiate between the two as we learn to serve God in the new way of living in the Spirit. (See Romans 7:6) The good news here is that God empowers our ability to so differentiate between the two and live in the new way of the Spirit: “For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.” (Philippians 2:13)

Our responsibility is to cooperate with the Holy Spirit and discern when our thoughts and actions align more with the prevailing culture, or our old habit patterns, than with thoughts and actions which are pleasing to God. Long before the term social media influencer entered our cultural lexicon, we were surrounded by influencers such as parents, siblings, close relatives and teachers. All these people shaped our self-image, our understanding of God and our neighbors. I believe Bishop N T Wright said it best when he noted our culture has told us a pack of lies about who we are, who God is and who our neighbors are. But God in Christ Jesus is telling us the truth. The more we listen to God’s truth, the more we are transformed by the renewing of our mind.

Learning to differentiate between the ways of the culture and the ways of God can be difficult. Perhaps this is why Paul used such stark language when he described our journey in faith, such as, “For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism.” (Romans 6:4), and “My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.” (Galatians 2:20)

My Takeaway: The influencer of the ways of the culture is him who is a liar and comes only to steal and kill and destroy. The influencer of the ways of God is Him who came that we may have life and have it abundantly. (John 10:10) God is at work in our lives 24/7. So also, we get to choose, each day, whom we will serve. Choose today whom you will serve. (Joshua 24:15)

Feasting at the Lord’s Table

Meditations on

Staying In the Grace for Today

January 23, 2026

Feasting at the Lord’s Table

You prepare a feast for me

in the presence of my enemies.

Psalm 23:5

I think of this verse when I gather with family for a meal after the funeral service of their loved one. We are in the presence of our enemy death, in the sense mortality has separated us from the one we love. Even so, in God’s presence, we can feast and rest in His assurances that death is not the end.

I also think of this verse when I kneel at the Altar to receive Holy Communion. There, as I am kneeling with other sinners-made saints by God’s grace, I can rejoice in these eternal truths:

So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:1)

For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son. (Colossians 1:13)

So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. (Romans 8:15)

Now all of us can come to the Father through the same Holy Spirit because of what Christ has done for us. (Ephesians 2:18

For God has said, “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.” (Hebrews 13:5)

(We) have a priceless inheritance—an inheritance that is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay. (1 Peter 1:4)

My Takeaway: All these truths affirm the words of the praise song, Who I Am that I quoted previously, and words that need to be repeated often,

“I am a child of the Most-High God, and the Most-High God is for me.”

(Ben Fuller, Who I Am, 2022)

I believe these words will help keep us grounded in God’s grace for today.
