A Real Pearler…

Posted on by admin

All who heard the shepherds’ story were astonished
Luke 2:18

In Australian slang a “Pearler” is something that’s really impressive. So, if something goes beyond the norm, is better than could be expected or stands out in any way it’s a “pearler”. If someone tells a big, almost unbelievable story it’s called a “real pearler” but only if it’s true.

Today’s verse tells us about an almost unbelievable story that was told by the Shepherds. Every part of their story was true but it sounded like a real pearler. The story was about an angelic visitation & Jesus the Messiah whom they had seen. It must have sounded unbelievable because everyone who heard it was astonished. But every part was true. It was just as the angels had told them [Luke 2:20].

Every born-again Christian has a real pearler of a story to tell but few are willing or bold enough to share it. Right now, people are looking, wanting our life’s results in their future. So why are we holding back? Why don’t we simply tell them the truth? [John 8:32] Share with them how encountering & receiving Jesus has set you up to win in life. Then get ready for them to be astonished.

Make this week is your week to tell a real pearler; an almost unbelievable but true story about what Jesus has done your life. Don’t miss out anything. Include every mountaintop & every valley. Explain how the impossible became possible. How Jesus saves, heals & delivers us into a real pearler of a future. Then get ready for them to be astonished.

Pop-Up Store…

“Truth lasts; lies are here today, gone tomorrow”
Proverbs 12:19

The current fad in retailing seems to be the “Pop-up Store”. These shops are small, temporary and plentiful. They pop up in popular locations one day then disappear soon after. They sell highly desirable & popular items that interest & engage the customer. Once they sell their product they disappear never to be seen again.

Today’s verse lets us know that lies are just like Pop-up stores. There are many of them. They appear in popular places. They offer desirable words that engage & interest the listener. But, just like pop-up stores, lies will disappear after a short time. No one will remember who actually said them or what they were actually about.

On the other hand, department stores are like truth. They are establishments that have stood the test of time & aren’t going to disappear quickly. Macy’s, Sears or Myers have each been trading for centuries. They are like truth. They’ve outlasted all their fleeting competitors & pop-ups remaining strong over the longest time. Truth will always outlive any lie so never buy into a lie – stand with the truth.This week let’s make a decision to pursue truth at all cost. Let’s not allow ourselves to enter the pop-up store of lies. Let’s not buy into its desirable words & popular items [2 Timothy 4:3]. Instead let’s stand tall for the truth that will outlast every lie spoken [Ephesians 6:14]. Not only does this cause our lives to flourish, it also causes us to walk in freedom like never before [John 8:32].

True Freedom…

“Then you will know the truth, and the TRUTH THAT YOU KNOW will set you free”
John 8:32

Often we see images in the press of the solid bars on prison cells or the sharp razor wire that incarcerates and separates people from freedom. We hear stories of brazen escapes by inmates and their subsequent recapture and return to prison. Freedom is something that we cherish and it is also something that God cherishes for his people.

Today’s verse reminds us that we each need to be set free. Many believers are unknowingly held captive every day of their lives. Their captivity is a cage formed by lies and deception caused by a lack of knowledge. The solution is simple: obtain the key that opens the prison cell. The key is simply to KNOW THE TRUTH from God’s Word.

It is important to understand that truth alone never brings freedom. It is the TRUTH THAT YOU KNOW that produces freedom. Jesus says we are able to know His truth and that is what sets us free. THE TRUTH THAT YOU KNOW SETS YOU FREE!

This week let’s continue in God’s Word to KNOW TRUTH. Each day let’s set time aside to gain understanding from God’s Word. Let’s allow His Word to disciple us into a new arena of freedom. His Word will liberate us from the bondage of lies & deception as we step up into our newfound freedom. The more we know, the more we can grow, so let’s FLOURISH DAILY in His Word!
