Prayers of the Saints

2020-11-26T03:55:16+00:00

I need to ask everyone to pray for a friend of mine's pastor.  He tested positive for Covid as did a few members of her church, and if y'all would, please pray for quick recovery for them.  Pray that they God will help them to grow during their quarantine time.  I know that God answers prayers, I've seen it many times in my own life.  Sometimes His answers are not what we expect, other times they may actually be what we hoped for, but often times, God brings a lot more good out of a situation than what we could have [...]

Zealous

2020-11-25T04:19:11+00:00

"It is fine to be zealous, provided the purpose is good, and to be so always, not just when I am with you."  Galatians 4:18.  Paul said that it was fine, it was good to be zealous if the purpose was good.  There is not a better purpose than that of living for Christ.  For such a purpose we should be zealous, we should be passionate about it, and not just when others are looking. At some point, I would guess every Christian has done something, good or bad, because they knew someone was watching.  We need to choose to live [...]

Think to Thank

2020-11-25T03:23:38+00:00

Thanksgiving is in just a few days, a lot of people will be reflecting on what they are thankful for.  So let me ask you a question, and I have to ask myself this, did you thank God for something today?  Did you take time to thank God, for just one thing?  It could be for an answered prayer, for getting to see a friend, or for something that just made you smile.  God deserves all the praise we can give him, and we need to take time out of our day, even just a few minutes to thank God for [...]

Shining a Light

2020-11-23T03:12:13+00:00

"In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."  Matthew 5:16.  Why should one want to do good deeds so that God would get credit instead of them?  Why would one want to let God work through them instead of doing whatever they want?  When it is all said and done, when I stand before my Maker, I would rather have lived my life for something greater than temporal desires.  I would rather serve the One that saves, and let my light shine just so someone will [...]

As the deer pants

2020-11-22T02:06:23+00:00

"As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God." Psalm 42:1.   Do you desire God's Word as much as you do rest after a hard day?  God uses His Word to feed our souls, to give our souls comfort, to give us peace and correction when necessary.  God's Word is our compass, it is the light for our path.  We need to be in His Word every single day.  We should desire His Word more than anything else.  We should be in it as much as possible, the more we read it, the more [...]

Picky in Provision

2020-11-21T04:39:09+00:00

After the Jewish people got to the promised land, God continued to provide them with judges, whom served as leaders.  After a while, the Jews began to ask God for a king, they no longer wanted judges, they wanted to be like everyone else.  So, a king was given to them. When Jesus stood before Pilate, Pilate asked the people of Israel if they wanted him to release Jesus unto them.  They cried for him to release Barabbas.  Barabbas was a murderer, and he was part of the rebellion against Rome.  In the same manner as they had done many years [...]

Living the Word

2020-11-20T03:21:23+00:00

 I read this in the book, "Unlocking the Scriptures" by Hanz Finzel for school today in a chapter about how we apply Scripture to our lives. "One story tells of several pastors arguing about which Bible translation was best. One man startled the group by saying, "My grandmother's translation is the best I've ever read." "What," his colleagues asked, "your grandmother translated the Bible?" "Yes, she translated the Bible into her life, and it was the most powerful translation I've ever seen." They got the point!" You may be the only Bible that someone reads.  Does your life add or take [...]

What would we do?

2020-11-19T04:06:34+00:00

I'm on a couple of those church humor/funny groups and I read (part) of a post that was talking about what the author would have done in the situation.  The first example was that she (Kimberly Henderson from Proverbs 31 Ministries) would have pulled Joseph out of that pit, or that prison.  She would have pulled him out of that pain, she would have cheated nations out of the one God would use to deliver them from famine.  She went through several examples and then she wrote, "I want to pull you out.  I want to change your path.  I want [...]

Hard times

2020-11-18T02:10:51+00:00

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."  Romans 8:28.  We will all face hard times on our way through life.  Satan will attack anybody and everybody who seeks to serve the Lord.  Satan may use temptations, he may shut what looks like a door God has opened, or he may throw health problems at you.  Satan uses different things for different people.  Yet we must remain strong for in due time we will reap if we remain faithful, if we do not give [...]

Grace and Faith Col 2:6

2020-11-17T03:18:11+00:00

"So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him,"  Colossians 2:6.  I've written quite a few devotionals with this verse.  I normally pose the question, how do we receive Christ?  We receive Him by faith.  We receive Jesus Christ as Lord by faith.  Our salvation, is by grace through faith.  We provide the faith, and God provides the grace.  So as we continue to walk in Christ we need to stay faithful to Him, and God will give us the grace we need to do so.  God knows that life will be hard [...]
