STORMS!

Luke 8:23-25 – Devotional

Luke 8:23-25

As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger. The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Master, Master, we’re going to drown!” He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm. “Where is your faith?” he asked his disciples. In fear and amazement they asked one another, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him.”

For a land lubber like me, a few wavelets cause me to head for shore. One day I was fishing with my dad on a lake in Idaho in his small aluminum boat that was not meant for any sort of extreme wave action. We were on the far side of the lake from our camp when the weather looked threatening. It was time to head for home!

About halfway across the lake the wind picked up and the water, which had been smooth and calm, now suddenly began to threaten. The waves grew to the point they were sloshing over the sides of our boat. We were fortunate to come under the protection of a piece of land that jutted out into the lake. We were saved! Yay!

I make no apologies for my fondness of watching the Weather Channel. The reports are primarily focused on the U.S., but when major storms threaten other parts of the globe they report them as well. As I have mentioned before, we have encountered storms in our lives.

I can say with confidence that you also have encountered storms, are going through them right now, or you will face them in the future. As His disciples have always done–call for Jesus to calm the storm!

Blessings dear hearts. Walk with God today and be a blessing!

I AM THINE, O LORD​​! – Hebrews 10:22 Devotional

by | Nov 1, 2024 | Hebrews

Listen to Today's Evotional

I AM THINE, O LORD​​!

Hebrews 10:22 – Devotional

Hebrews 10:22

“Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.“

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

I am Thine, O Lord is one of many hymns written by Fanny Crosby, a prolific American hymn writer. The melody was composed by William Howard Doane.

The former was talking with the latter one night about the proximity of God and penned the words before retiring for the night. Hebrews 10:22 is also reported as being a source of inspiration for the hymn: “Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.”

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

I Am Thine, O Lord

I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith
And be closer drawn to Thee.

Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died.
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.

Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
By the power of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.

Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died.
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.

O the pure delight of a single hour
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God
I commune as friend with friend!

Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died.
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.

There are depths of love that I cannot know
Till I cross the narrow sea;
There are heights of joy that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee.

Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died.
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
