LET GOD BE EXALTED!

Psalm 57:5 – Devotional

Psalm 57:5

“Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; Let Your glory be above all the earth.”

Day in and day out many people strive to push themselves to the front of whatever line they are in. It may be in the family, at work, in politics, even in the church. It is tragic that so many believers spend time exalting themselves rather than God.

How do we go about exalting God? That is a question we should be asking ourselves from early morning to the last thing at night. Our chief aim in life should be to bring honor and glory to His name.

We start this process by starting each day with the Lord. The first words we read should be for the Bible and the final words before we drift into slumber should be from that same life-giving source.

We need to always remind ourselves that the things of this earth are fading away and the things of eternity must be our primary aim. This world is like a tent in the wild that may offer temporary shelter, but it is not our home. As we exalt the name of our Lord and Savior, we allow Him to lift us above the troubles and trials of this world to catch a glimpse of the glory that awaits us!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

GOD’S (IF) CONDITIONS! – Leviticus 26:12 Devotional

GOD’S (IF) CONDITIONS!

Leviticus 26:12 – Devotional

Leviticus 26:12

“I will walk among you, and will be your God, and you will be My people.”

All too often we read the promises of God and neglect the conditions that He gives us in order to receive the promises. Like excited children at the sight of candy, we jump up and down in anticipation without considering the conditions.

Leviticus 26:3 provides the conditions that must be met before we can count on the promised reward. “If you walk in My statutes, and keep My commandments, and do them.”

If we walk the aisles of a grocery store and fill our basket with various items, we know that there will come a moment when we stand at the checkout stand and are presented with the cost of our selections.

As we walk the pathways of life we also are making selections. Some may be small and look insignificant, but at the checkout counter we realize the cost is greater than we anticipated. It is then that we feel a hand on our shoulders and a sweet voice in our ear; “I have paid the price! Go in peace!” Wow! What a wonderful God we serve! He does not give us what we deserve, but what we need!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

WHAT REALLY MATTERS? – Philippians 3:7 Devotional

WHAT REALLY MATTERS?

Philippians 3:7 – Devotional

Philippians 3:7

“But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ.”

There are many burial sites in Egypt left by the former mighty rulers of that ancient nation. Most of these self-proclaimed gods or goddesses wanted to be buried with masses of gold and precious stones that were meant to provide for their afterlife. In the majority of cases, however, tomb robbers discovered the burial sites and plundered everything of value.

We may shake our heads at the foolish idea that we can take anything with us when we depart this life. In Job 1:21 that righteous man gives us wonderful words of wisdom: “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return there.”

Jesus shared the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, and we see that the rich man had absolutely nothing of this world’s goods with him — not even a drop of cool water. That should warn us against relying on the things of this world.

What should really capture our efforts are the things that will last for eternity. The more we devote ourselves to the things of God, the more we will find the love and joy He promises to His children that He cherishes. That is what really matters!

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