SOARING WITH GOD!

Isaiah 40:31 – Devotional

Isaiah 40:31

“Those who trust in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not become weary, walk and not faint.”

Each time I glance up at the wall above my desk I read the words of today’s Scripture. It is done in counted cross stitch, and has a very special place in my heart. You see, it was presented to me by our daughter, Brenda, back in 1991, just before she went to be with the Lord.

This fantastic verse reminds us of one of God’s most precious promises: When we wait on the Lord, He will renew our strength. We get into trouble when we attempt to produce our own strength instead of waiting for His strength.

It is worth noting that anytime people run ahead of God and rely upon their own strength, they get into trouble. On the other hand, when people inquire of the Lord and wait for Him to lead, they are rewarded with His power.

It is vital for us to spend our time in fellowship with the Lord. Reading His Word, speaking with Him in prayer and listening patiently for His still small voice to guide us. Not running ahead of Him or lagging behind Him, but patiently walking close at His side.

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

GRACE AND PEACE! – Philippians 1:2 Devotional

GRACE AND PEACE!

Philippians 1:2 – Devotional

Philippians 1:2

“Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”

In a world that increasingly is filled with turmoil, strife and blatant sinfulness, we need to discover a place in which to amerce ourselves in that which is sacred and holy. That place is in the sure haven of God’s Word.

It seems that celebrates in our modern culture feel that they are the ones determining our acceptable conduct. That conduct is increasingly crude and an affront to what God desires for His people.

I may seem to be a prude, but I refuse to spend my time watching the godless programs that the major networks spew into the world. Whether I am labeled a prude or not does not matter one iota to me. I would rather have the peace of God than anything this world can offer.

I want to always be remembered as a simple servant of the Lord who was used in a simple way to simply hold fast to the never changing Word of the Lord. Heaven and earth may pass away, but the Word of God is always the same; yesterday, today and forever!

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

WE CAN KNOW! – Luke 12:56 Devotional

WE CAN KNOW!

Luke 12:56 – Devotional

Luke 12:56

“You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky. How is it that you don’t know how to interpret this present time?”

Meteorologists are sometimes able to predict the path of storms long before they actually arrive. Teams of experts study data collected from a multitude of sources in order to predict potential threats of violent weather such as hurricanes and tornadoes. This information can be used to help those in the path of storms to take shelter and minimize risk.

Jesus seemed to have something like this in mind when He spoke about people knowing how to predict weather patterns, but failing to understand what is happening in fulfillment of the prophecy given in God’s Word.

In Matthew 24, Jesus gives us over twenty signs that mark His second coming. If we go and read that chapter we will find a description of what is happening in our world at the present time.

So what does this mean to us? It means that there is a lost and dying world around us facing an eternity in hell unless they repent and accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. Let us be faithful to rescue as many as possible.

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

USE ME LORD! – 2 Timothy 4:2 Devotional

USE ME LORD!

2 Timothy 4:2 – Devotional

2 Timothy 4:2

“Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.”

Sometimes God uses dire circumstances as a means of ministry. A missionary was rushed to a hospital with a ruptured appendix. While recuperating in a two-bed room, he was able to share a witness with his roommate in the other bed and lead him to the Lord.

During the cold war years there were many Christians who were imprisoned due to their belief in Jesus Christ. Rather than collapsing in a heap and feeling sorry for themselves, many used prison as an opportunity to preach the gospel.

In my own life I have endured occasional tests and trials. As I surrendered each situation to the Lord, He opened doors of ministry that could never have opened in any other way. It is not necessary for us to be perfect before He can use us—just forgiven. It is not necessary for us to complete a course of study to be used—just available. It is not necessary for us to be of a certain age to be used—just willing.

You may be enduring trials and tests right now. Please do not allow what you are experiencing to paralyze you from being used. Step forward and volunteer to serve in God’s army. Neither age nor physical limitations will disqualify. “God doesn’t call the qualified; He qualifies the called.”

Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today and be a blessing!
