BLESSED ASSURANCE!

1 John 2:28 – Devotional

1 John 2:28

“And now, little children, abide in Him; that, when He shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.”

Those of us who have said farewell to beloved family and friends know what it is to experience the pangs of separation. The pain of separation is eased with the assurance that there is a bright tomorrow waiting for us when we will be united with those who have died in the Lord.

Fanny J. Crosby was visiting the home of her friend, Phoebe Knapp. Phoebe was playing a new melody she had just composed and mentioned to Fanny that she called it Assurance. Fanny responded, “Blessed Assurance.”

Fanny returned home and quickly penned the words to the hymn that has become such a favorite since it was published way back in 1873. It is just as much a blessed assurance today as it was back then.

BLESSED ASSURANCE

(1) Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

Refrain:
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long.

(2) Perfect submission, perfect delight!
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels descending bring from above,
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

Refrain:
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long.

(3) Perfect submission, all is at rest!
I in my Savior am happy and blest,
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

Refrain:
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long.

JUST CONFESS!

1 John 1:9 – Devotional

1 John 1:9

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

I often recall my days working as a County Juvenile Probation Officer. One of the judges I worked for was a wise old veteran of the early frontier days in a gold mining town.

He taught me to listen carefully to what people were saying and never believe that they always would tell the truth. In fact people generally will tell a lie even when it would be easier on them to tell the truth. That is part of our fallen nature.

As believers we often are tempted to disguise our sinful actions as slips, accidents or errors in judgment. Regardless of what we call our deviation from God’s perfect standard – – it is sin and we must confess our sin to get the victory.

I can recall times in my life when I tried to color my sin as being something else. I was always miserable until I confessed to God and then to those I had wronged. It was then I felt God’s peace that passes understanding and come to understand that God knows my heart better than I do and my sin is evident regardless of my denial. He wants us to JUST CONFESS AND LET HIM CLEANSE US!

Blessings dear hearts! Walk with God today and be a blessing.
