Loving Grace Ministries

Today’s Word of Encouragement From Wayne: “It happened that when the priests came from the holy place, the cloud filled the house of the Lord, so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord” 1 Kings 8:10-11 This wonderful event occurred during the dedication of Solomon’s temple, which he had built for the Lord. The ark of the covenant had just entered “the most holy place” (verse 6) and that’s w

Today’s Word of Encouragement From Wayne: “Thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place.” 2 Corinthians 2:14 There is a sweet aroma produced within us as we grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3:18). It is the sweet aroma of Christ, Himself, in our every place! Knowing our Lord is everything. Knowing “Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27) is

Today’s Word of Encouragement From Wayne: “Thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place.” 2 Corinthians 2 14 When you and I are following Jesus Christ, with our spiritual eyes fully open and fixed upon Him, then we know we are actually “always” being led in “triumph in Christ.” Following the leading of our Lord, truly, is our acquiescing in discipleship to solidly being led in

Today’s Word of Encouragement From Wayne: “Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. It was the Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.” John 11:1-2 Praise God! Through Mary’s example in the Gospels, we see how listening at the feet of Jesus leads to participating in an anointing at the feet of Jesus, bless His Name! Luke’s Gospel tells us of the time when

Today’s Word of Encouragement From Wayne: “They made Him a supper there, and Martha was serving; but Lazarus was one of those reclining at the table with Him. Mary then took a pound of very costly perfume of pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped His feet with her hair, and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.” John 12:2-3 Bless You Lord! Once more, in this beautiful account, we see Mary attentively at the feet of Jesus. Previously, in Luk

Today’s Word of Encouragement From Wayne: “Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the grave. And behold, Jesus met them and greeted them. And they came up and took hold of His feet and worshiped Him.” Matthew 28:1&9 Perhaps these two women might have hesitated when they saw Jesus alive, Whom they thought was in the grave. They could have been awestruck, or have feinted, or have been f

Today’s Word of Encouragement From Wayne: “They came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting down at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind” Luke 8:35 Oh I praise God that when you and I are sitting down at the feet of Jesus, just as Mary did, that we are also, in that moment, choosing “the good part,” as our Savior stated of Mary (Luke 10 42), and this is precisely where we become “clothed” and in our “right mind.” In God’s prese

Today’s Word of Encouragement From Wayne: “Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things; but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her” Luke 10:41-42 Have you chosen the good part? Or have you chosen another part, which may not be so good? Mary chose the good part which was this: “Mary, who was seated at the Lord’s feet, listening to His word” (Luke 10:39). Martha was choosing, by contr

Today’s Word of Encouragement From Wayne: “Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.” Luke 10:42 “Mary, who was seated at the Lord’s feet, listening to His word.” Luke 10:39 Praise God! Whenever we desire to be renewed with “the good part” in our lives in Christ, all we need to do is sit at the feet of Jesus, as close as we can be, just us with our Lord God, abiding in His presence and listening to His word. How beautiful is this! Oh I bles

Today’s Word of Encouragement From Wayne: “Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things; but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.” Luke 10:41-42 There is one thing that is necessary for us in our Christian life, and that is to be as close to Jesus as possible, humbly at His feet, so we may hear and attend to the word and voice of our Good Shepherd, our Savior, our Way, Truth, and Life (Jo
