AVAILABLE TO GOD​​!

Isaiah 40:31 – Devotional

Isaiah 40:31

“Those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength;
they shall soar on wings as eagles, shall run and not grow weary,
shall walk and not faint.”

The longer I live the more I realize I know so very little. But then it’s really not essential that I know everything. I feel like the old pastor who slowly walked to the pulpit. The congregation eagerly awaited the message that this precious saint of God would deliver. You may recall the words that he simply said: “Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so.”

I’m so appreciative of having a Kindle reader so I can read book after book without carrying an entire armload. I recall reading a book by Jerry Bridges titled, “Trusting God: Even When Life Hurts.” Even the title moves me.

His words gave me a new appreciation of the sovereignty of God. God is not incumbent to make me comfortable or painless. In fact, it is not about me at all. If it is pain, so be it! If it is suffering, so be it! If it is complete healing, so be it!

During a hospital stay, God was able to use me to bring a little bit of healing to the nurses and staff who treated me. That was my ministry for this particular situation and I thank God for it. I rejoice being home, but I want to be available for God to be sovereign in my life wherever that may be.

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

RESTORE US LORD​​!

Psalm 80:3, 7, 19​ – Devotional

Psalm 80:3, 7, 19

“Restore us, O God; cause Your face to shine, and we shall be saved.”

I recall a college professor that began each term with a word of instruction to his class. He suggested that we pay special attention to what he was about to say any time he stomped his foot because it would undoubtedly be on the test. That was good advice (except for the fact that he was prone to repeatedly stomping his foot, and many questions on his tests were not foot stompers).

In reading God’s Word, we need to pay special attention when the writer uses repetition. That is the case in Psalm 80. Here the Psalmist repeats the same psalm three times. To me, that is a foot stomper, and I need to pay special attention!

Over the years I have been involved in restoring old cars and old houses. The final result is well worth the time and toil that I invested in the project. It reminds me of the old adage; “No pain, no gain!”

If you are like me, there are many times when we come to the place where our physical energy has an effect on our spiritual well being. It is at these times we need to cry out for God to restore us. Even so come quickly Lord Jesus!

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