“O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out!” (Romans 11:33).

Here we are at the end of another year, and at the final meditation for our readings. It has been our prayer that all of those reading through these thoughts for the year will have found themselves to have been stretched, and to have grown a few inches (spiritually speaking). There is so much in God’s Word, and we have hardly scratched the surface of all the wonderful thoughts, plans and love-messages God has tucked throughout His book.

We cannot begin to absorb all these lovely gems He has put in the Bible for us all at once. There is an encouraging verse in Isaiah 28:10. It reads like this, “ … line upon line; here a little, and there a little.”

So as we read God’s Word, lovely and instructive thoughts come to us bit by bit. The Holy Spirit in us helps us to understand what God is teaching us from the part we are reading. It is a patient step by step learning process. And you will find that the more you read, the more desire you have to read.

When you read any other book, you come to the end and put it on the shelf, having absorbed the contents of the story, or the history in it. But with the Bible you will find that each additional time you read it, you will find something fresh and wonderful that you had not noticed before. How can that be? It is because the Bible it is an inspired book, written by God Himself. He wants to communicate with you and me! He wants to reveal who He is, and what He has done. He wishes to be your Guide and your Friend. Don’t put His special letter away in a drawer and forget about it.

May it be part of your everyday life, and may you “grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:18).

“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me: and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand. My Father, which gave them Me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of My Father’s hand” (John 10:27-29).

“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1).

In the course of writing this devotional, I have referred many times to the importance of being saved, and used some warnings from Scripture to any who are not saved. But have you ever wondered if you could lose your salvation, if you were truly saved once? Some Christian groups today teach that you can be saved and then lost again. They say that if you commit a serious sin, you can lose your salvation. If we look at our verses for today, we see clearly that this is impossible. These two verses give us two very good reasons why we can never be lost again, if we are truly saved. We did speak about Romans 8:1 back in early March, but perhaps it would be good to go over this precious truth again, since it is so important.

First of all, we read in John 10 that those who have eternal life “shall never perish,” and that “neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand.” This is strong language, but then it goes on to say that “no man is able to pluck them out of My Father’s hand.” Here we have a two-fold security, in the Lord Jesus and in God the Father. How could we be let go, if both God our Father and the Lord Jesus have us in their hand? It is impossible. I have seen boys hold something tightly in their hand, and then seen other boys try to pry that hand open. Sometimes a much bigger boy can pry open the hand of a smaller boy, but no one can “pry” open God’s hand and take us away. His hand is too strong for anyone!

Then, in our second verse, we are told that we are “in Christ Jesus.” This expression “in Christ” occurs many times in the epistles of Paul, for he received this precious truth directly from a risen Christ in glory. Think of it! When God looks at you and me, He sees us in all the perfection of Christ Himself! Is the Lord Jesus Christ fit for heaven? Yes, of course. Then we are fit too — perfectly fit, for we are “in Christ.” Can God bring any accusation against the Lord Jesus? No, of course not. Then He cannot bring any accusation against us, for we are “in Christ.” When this truth gets a grip on our souls, we realize that once we are truly saved, we can never be lost again.

Sadly, if we get away from the Lord, we may lose the joy of our salvation, and then we may even question in ourselves whether we are really saved. But it is not that we need to hang onto the Lord; rather, He is hanging on to us. And He will never let us go!

“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end therefore are the ways of death” (Proverbs 14:12).

“Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace” (Psalm 37:37).

We are coming to the end of the year, and in both our verses for today, that word “end” is mentioned. Yet how different the end of one man is from the other man! There are many today who are following their own way, but without looking to the Lord, or reading His Word. They are listening to the wisdom of this world, and that way seems right, but it is really the way of death. The Bible tells us that “the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23), and this means not only death to the body, but eternal death in that awful place called hell. We are all subject to death because “all have sinned” (Romans 3:23), but those who refuse God’s offer of mercy through the Lord Jesus will experience eternal death, although they will exist for all eternity.

Our second verse today speaks about “the perfect man,” and we might think that this means that those who live what they consider “a good life” in this world will go to heaven because of their good life. But this is not what the verse means. Often in the Bible the word “perfect” has the thought of being mature, or full-grown, and understanding the things of God. No one is ever perfect before God in himself, for the only perfect Man who ever lived was the Lord Jesus. But after we have accepted the Lord Jesus as Savior, we can live for God’s glory in this world. This is the result of our having a desire to please the Lord. Not only will we have a perfect ending when we are taken to be with the Lord, but we will enjoy God’s peace in this world. We will be able to walk through this world in peace, and be sure of a peaceful ending down here, whether we die, or whether we are alive when the Lord comes.

“And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the Lord … all the people shouted with a great shout … because the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid. But many of the priests and Levites and chief of the fathers, who were ancient men, that had seen the first house … wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy” (Ezra 3:10-12).

Perhaps you have heard the term “generation gap” used sometimes, referring to how young people often think differently from their parents or grandparents. This is natural, for times change from one generation to the next; new things are discovered, and new ways of doing things are invented. Here in our verses today we have a generation gap.

There were younger people who shouted when the foundation of the temple was laid, for there had not been any temple in Jerusalem for about 70 years. They were glad to see a new temple being built. But some of the older ones who had seen Solomon’s temple realized how small and insignificant the new temple was, compared to the old one. Instead of shouting, they wept, for they realized that nothing as beautiful as Solomon’s temple would be built again for them to see.

We can understand both reactions. The older ones were saddened, yet the younger ones rejoiced, and I believe that the Lord understood why each group reacted differently.

A generation gap is natural, as new generations come along. However, we must remember that the Lord does not change, and that His truth and moral principles do not change. Let us never excuse bad behavior, and behavior that dishonors the Lord, by saying that “times have changed.” When I was growing up, there were no cell phones, no computers, no jet planes, no internet, and (you will laugh at this!), not even any ball point pens. We all wrote either with fountain pens, or stick pens that we dipped into old-fashioned ink wells on our desks. Things have really changed during my lifetime!

However, I am thankful that the Word of God has not changed, nor has the Lord Himself changed. Let us be ready to accept change from one generation to another, but be thankful for the things that never change.

“Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men. Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away” (Proverbs 4:14-15).

These verses remind me of a true story that took place in England more than 150 years ago, when people went from place to place either on trains, or in carriages drawn by horses. Wealthy people usually had a coachman who drove the horses for them, while they sat inside the carriage. On one occasion a wealthy man advertised for someone to take the job as his coachman, and several men applied. When he was interviewing them, he asked each of them the same question — “How close could you drive a carriage along the edge of a cliff without dropping a wheel over the side of the cliff?” The first one said that he could safely drive with the wheels one foot away from the cliff. The second one said that he could do better, for he claimed that he could drive within six inches of the cliff without dropping a wheel over it. But the third man replied, “When I am driving a carriage under those conditions, I stay as far away from the cliff as possible!” The third man got the job. The man who was hiring the coachman was not concerned with how close to the cliff he could drive the carriage, but rather with how safe the driver would be.

It is much the same in our Christian life. Some Christians like to see how close they can come to the world around us, and to the evil in it. They want to try and get as close as possible, yet not be involved in it. But just as the coachman who drives close to the cliff runs a real risk of dropping a wheel over it, so the Christian who gets as close as possible to the evil in this world runs a real risk of falling into sin. Our old sinful nature is strong, and the only way to keep it from acting in our lives is to recognize that it deserves death. If we think we can let it work to some extent, then it may well take over and lead us into sin. It is like lighting a small fire that we think we can control, only to find out that it soon gets beyond our control. Let us not try to get as close as possible to evil; rather let us follow the instruction in our verses today, and get as far as possible from evil.

“And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem … and took with them John, whose surname was Mark” (Acts 12:25).

“They preached the word of God … and they had also John to their minister” (Acts 13:5).

“And John departing from them returned to Jerusalem” (Acts 13:13).

Probably all of us are quite familiar with the gospel of Mark, but have you ever considered the life of the man whom the Spirit of God used to write that gospel? His name was John Mark, and he is mentioned first of all in Acts 12:12, for there was a prayer meeting in his mother’s home in the middle of the night! They were praying for Peter to be let out of prison, and the Lord answered their prayers that very night. Later in the same chapter, in our first verse for today, we find John Mark going with Barnabas and Saul from Jerusalem to Antioch. Mark was a nephew to Barnabas (see Colossians 4:10), and as a young man, it would seem that he wanted to do something for the Lord.

Sometime later, when Barnabas and Saul went out on their first missionary journey, they took John Mark with them, and he acted as a servant for them. In those days they did not stay in hotels and have restaurants handy, so they probably had to arrange much of their own accommodation, meals, etc. But then, when they came to a place called Perga, John Mark left them and returned to Jerusalem. The Word of God does not tell us why he left, but it is quite possible that he found the traveling and hardships a bit hard to bear, and was not willing to carry on.

Sometimes, as young people, we can be like John Mark. Perhaps we really want to serve the Lord, but we are not ready to face the cost involved. We are not ready for the hardships involved, or the persecution that comes about when we face the world. Then it is easy to turn back.

But that does not need to be the end of our service for the Lord! The Lord was patient with John Mark, and when Paul did not want to take him on a second missionary journey, Barnabas took him to Cyprus again. Later, Paul referred to him in Colossians 4:10, asking the brethren to receive him if he came. He refers to Mark and others as being “fellowworkers unto the kingdom of God, which have been a comfort unto me” (Colossians 4:11). Since Paul was a prisoner in Rome when he wrote this epistle, it would seem that Mark was there with him, and encouraged him.

Later still, when Paul was again a prisoner in Rome, he could say to Timothy, “Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry” (2 Timothy 4:11). Mark was not ready for ministry back in Acts, but he matured spiritually, and later the Lord used him.

If we turn back early in our life from some difficulties in serving the Lord, let us not be discouraged. Remember John Mark, the failing servant, who later matured spiritually, and was used of the Lord. Finally, he was called to write the gospel of Mark, a book that pictures to us the Lord Jesus as the perfect Servant.

“And thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall He come forth unto Me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting” (Micah 5:2).

On this date of the year many people traditionally celebrate the birth of the Lord Jesus. We do not really know the exact date of our Lord’s birth into this world, and the Bible does not tell us. We are never asked to celebrate the Lord’s birth, but rather we are asked to remember Him in death. Solomon could say in the book of Ecclesiastes, “A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one’s birth” (Ecclesiastes 7:1). The birth of our Lord into this world was a wonderful event, but it is His work on the cross, and His death, that have settled the matter of sin before a holy God.

In our verse for today, we are again reminded that the birth of the Lord Jesus was prophesied long before He appeared in this world, and we are even told the place where He would be born. When the time came, the Lord allowed the whole of the Roman world to be set in motion, for a census that was taken that year. As a result of this, Joseph and Mary had to journey to Bethlehem, and there the Lord Jesus was born.

However, as our verse also reminds us, the Lord Jesus was “from of old, from everlasting.” He was God, and had no beginning as the Son of God. He had a beginning as a man, for He had never been a man before, but as God His existence was from everlasting. But as God He could not die, so He became a man, in order to be able to suffer and die. And He will remain a man for all eternity, to be able to enjoy our company!

“And they [those arguing with Stephen] were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake” (Acts 6:10).

“But we all, with open face beholding … the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord” (2 Corinthians 3:18).

The young preacher Stephen does not have many verses in the Bible devoted to his story. He did not live a very long life as a Christian. But it was a remarkable one, and one that should inspire us. He first appears in Acts chapter 6 and is stoned to death by the end of chapter 7.

He was a part of the early church — those who believed on the Lord Jesus and began to meet together after the Lord had ascended back to heaven and the Holy Spirit had come down. Men were arguing with him and trying to trip him up in what he was saying, as they wanted to get rid of him. It tells us in our verse that they could not resist his wisdom and spirit. He was not standing there, arguing and shaking his finger at them. No, the Lord gave him wisdom in what to say, and a spirit in which to say it. It was a gentle spirit, and we learn this from verse 15 of the same chapter. The men that were giving Stephen such a hard time, “looking stedfastly on him, saw his face as it has been the face of an angel” (Acts 6:15).

I would think that an angel would have a kind, loving and glowing look to his face. Stephen knew that his life was on the line here. It is wonderful that the Lord gave him this spirit in talking to his accusers. This “spirit” that we talk about does not suddenly appear as a force in our lives. No, it is something to cultivate daily in spending time with the Lord and enjoying His love. It is something we must purpose in our heart to develop and also “cleave” to. This is where our second verse today comes in.

When we have accepted the Lord Jesus as our Savior, we all want to “grow in grace.” This verse shows us that the more we “behold” or gaze on the Lord Jesus, the more we will be changed to be like Him. If we want to be like Him, He will work that wonderful change in us. Move in closer and enjoy His love all day, every day! You will change without even realizing it. I am sure Stephen did not know that his face looked like an angel’s face, but what a testimony that was to all who looked at him.

“He [a man named Eleazar] arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clave unto the sword” (2 Samuel 23:10).

“Barnabas … exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord” (Acts 11:22-23).

In English there are two very opposite meanings for the word “cleave” (or “clave” in the past tense). It can mean to split apart. We would use it this way when we talk about “cleaving a piece of wood.” There may be a big pile of logs waiting to be split for the fire, and you might say you needed to “cleave” them into smaller pieces. But then what about what Eleazar did with his sword? He hung onto it so tightly that it was as though, when the battle was over, he could hardly get his hand pried from the handle of the sword. Both of our verses today have this second meaning.

In order to cleave to something, we must have purpose of heart as in our second verse. We must have determination to accomplish something that comes from the heart! We build this kind of character trait when we are young. The teen years you are in right now are probably the most formative of your life. That is a serious thought! You are building a character and habits that will most likely follow you throughout your life.

In earlier meditations we have seen how Joseph, even though traded off by his brothers to be a slave in Egypt, pleased his God and Lord, and this was noticed by Pharaoh. In very hostile surroundings, he let his light shine and he was rewarded (down here on earth) for his faithfulness when he was made a ruler in Egypt.

Later we see Naaman’s wife’s maid doing the same thing. She was in a hostile country and yet she was kind and thoughtful and true to the Lord. When Naaman came back from being healed from his leprosy, I imagine he was very kind to her. Perhaps he even let her go home to her family!

And then there is Daniel. Once again, he was a young person carried away to a conquering country, where he purposed in his heart not to defile himself. He was made a ruler, eventually delivered from the den of lions, and lived to an old age.

As you progress in your teens, you may head off to university or to a workplace. These environments are often hostile to the Bible and the Lord Jesus. With purpose of heart, we need to cleave to the truth of God’s Word and shine for Him. It does not always end up that we are honored as the three examples today were. Tomorrow we will see someone else who put the Lord first, but who was not given the honor he deserved, at least not in this world.

“And David said unto him [Mephibosheth], Fear not: for I will surely shew thee kindness for Jonathan thy father’s sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually” (2 Samuel 9:7).

The story of Mephibosheth is a very touching one, for it shows how David showed kindness to a young man who was lame on both his feet, and yet was able to sit and eat at King David’s table. You can read the whole story of Mephibosheth in 2 Samuel 9. Mephibosheth’s father Jonathan had been killed in battle with the Philistines, but David wanted to show kindness to anyone related to King Saul, because David and Saul’s son Jonathan had been such good friends. We know that Saul himself had tried to kill David many times, and Mephibosheth was probably afraid that David would kill him, because he was Saul’s grandson. However, David wanted only to show kindness to him.

But there is something in our verses today that is very special. David told Mephibosheth that he would eat his food at David’s table continually. Yet David also said that he would restore all the land of Saul to Mephibosheth, and told Ziba and his family, with all his servants, to work the land for Mephibosheth, so that “thy master’s son may have food to eat” (2 Samuel 9:10). If Mephibosheth were to eat at David’s table, why did he need a big estate in order to have food to eat?

David not only restored Mephibosheth to a place at his table, as one of David’s sons, but he also restored his dignity. He was not simply an object of charity, or welfare; no, he had his own estate with servants to work it for him. He did not need the food that was produced, but having that big estate gave him a proper dignity, as a king’s son. How gracious of David to do this!

The Lord has done the same thing for us as Christians. Like Mephibosheth, we did not deserve anything but death, but God has given us new life in Christ, and we will spend eternity with Him in heaven. However, He has given us more than that. He has given us an “eternal inheritance” (Hebrews 9:15), so that we have a dignity that is appropriate for us as sons of God. What a wonderful place God has brought us into! The Lord Jesus is going to inherit all created things, and He is going to share that inheritance with us.
