GOD’S PLANS FOR US!

2 John 1:6 – Devotional

2 John 1:6

“And this is love, that we walk after His commandments. This is the commandment, that, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.”

I can still recall the delight we had in watching our children take their first steps. There had been a period of days or even weeks when they stood beside a chair or when Joyce or I would hold onto them.

Then came that first faltering, even terrifying, first step into the unknown. They seemed to know that they were designed to be able to walk. As I write these words I am aware that there are those who through accident or lack of physical development have not been able to walk in the same way as others.

It is incredible that God has endowed those who trust in Him to develop other skills that at times make them more effective witnesses for Him than if they had the full use of their extremities.

God wants each of us to serve Him in a way that is unique to the way we find ourselves to be. Rather than trying to be like others, we need to be what God plans for us to be. Take time to ask Him what His plans are for you!

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

REMEMBER!

Deuteronomy 32:7 – Devotional

Deuteronomy 32:7

“Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask your father, and he will show you; your elders, and they will tell you.”

Back in the 1950’s, Dinah Shore was a popular vocalist. One of her popular hits was the song, “You Forgot To Remember!” I can’t recall the words, but the title is easy to recall. It sounds like a contradiction, but it is all to true of many of us.

Promises are far easier to make than to fulfill. There have been several times in my life when those who I trusted broke promises that were made. The result caused pain and suffering for me personally, but also to my family.

I can honestly say that I have come to see that whether I have little of this world’s stuff or more than enough, it is not mine! It is only given to me to be used by the Lord for His purposes. In order to discover what His purposes are, I must spend time with the Lord by the study of His Word and prayer!

Remember that the Lord inhabits His Word and the praise of His people! It is far too easy to be blinded by the glitz and glamour of the world. Take time to search for the things of eternal value. Remember He first loved us! Return His love!

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

WALK THE TALK!

2 John 1:6 – Devotional

2 John 1:6

“And this is love that we walk after His commandments. This is the commandment, that, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.”

One of the saddest commentaries on so-called followers of Christ is that they are on again and off again believers. We used to call them, Sunday go to meeting believers. They were one thing in church and another thing in the world!

That is painful even to type it, and I know it breaks the heart of our Lord to have those He paid such an extravagant price for, fail to live the life He freely gives to all who will receive it.

Before we become too smug in our condemnation of the two-faced believers, take a long look into the mirror of God’s Word. Are we preaching one sermon yet living another? Does our walk match our talk?

Like it or not we are preaching sermons moment by moment by the way we live our life. Our actions always speak so loud that our words become nothing but a soft whisper. WALK THE TALK!

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