Christmas Timing

Greg Hill2020-12-04T03:53:11+00:00

"In the sixth month of Elizabeth's pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee," Luke 1:26. God sent Gabriel to Mary during Elizabeth's sixth month of pregnancy. He didn't send Gabriel in Elizabeth's fifth month, or the seventh, but during the sixth. This detail does not appear to add much to the record, but God still included it. Elizabeth had went into seclusion for five months while pregnant, and Mary came to her during her sixth month. Mary stayed with Elizabeth for three months. God included these details for a reason. The specific reason I do not [...]

Praise in the storm

Greg Hill2020-12-01T04:02:33+00:00

John was going about his day at work. He had just restocked the shelves, double checked the inventory to make sure all was correct, and was getting ready to go on break. Then the phone in the office rings, he hears, "call for John on line two" come over the intercom. He goes to the office, picks up the phone. The voice on the other end was his wife's, she was crying loudly, and when he got her calmed down enough to speak, she told him that their four month old son had just passed away. They had been trying for [...]

"For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened." Matthew 7:8 NIV. I want to give a praise report tonight. In the past two days I've had some amazing things go on for me. Yesterday, I got to shoot a bow for the first time in three months. Granted, the bow was a light draw weight, but, it was still great to be able to shoot again for the first time in what felt like ages. I am thankful for how far God has brought my healing thus far.

Temptations

Greg Hill2020-11-29T02:45:10+00:00

"No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it." 1 Corinthians 10:13. To be tempted is not a sin, as Satan tempted Jesus, but to allow that temptation to linger and to fall into it is to sin. Here Paul writes that God is faithful to us. He will not leave us to our own devices and He will not allow temptation to be stronger [...]

Wait

Greg Hill2020-11-28T03:46:42+00:00

"Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD." Psalm 27:14. Waiting on the Lord does not mean sitting idly by. We are to still continue to do our jobs that God has given us. What does it mean to wait on the Lord though? Well, it means to be patient. God's timing is not ours, and so we must be patient and not try to rush things. It means we need to hope in the Lord, we wait on Him, we trust His guidance, not our own. It means we stay calm and do not [...]

Shining a Light

Greg Hill2020-11-23T03:12:13+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 [...]

Living the Word

Greg Hill2020-11-20T03:21:23+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?

Greg Hill2020-11-19T04:06:34+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

Greg Hill2020-11-18T02:10:51+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

Greg Hill2020-11-17T03:18:11+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 [...]
