Balm of Gilead

Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin, the daughter of Egypt: in vain shalt thou use many medicines; for thou shalt not be cured.

-Jeramiah 46:11

Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?

When Your Heart is Lofty

“LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.

Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.” — Psalm 131:1-2

Some things are clear in the scripture and vital to understand in order to have saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Other things in the Bible are more opaque and require a great deal of study and meditation of the word of God to even be able to make an educated guess about. We should never get so puffed up in our knowledge that we behave uncharitably towards our brothers and sisters in Christ.

“And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.” — 1st Corinthians 13:2-3

Strangers and Pilgrims on the Earth

“These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.

Abraham on the way to Canaan - Pieter Lastman, Public Domain

And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city. – Hebrews 11:13-16

“For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ…” Philippians 3:20

“I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world." John 17:14-16

Amen.
