OPEN YOUR EARS!

Deuteronomy 32:1 – Devotional

Deuteronomy 32:1

“Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak;
and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.”

In my memory of the days of my youth, I seem to recall my mom or dad (or both) telling me to open my ears. The fact that I could hear them was evidence that I had the sense of hearing, even if I lacked the sense of responding!

There is a difference of simply hearing sounds, as opposed to having the knowledge of what the sounds mean. The wail of a siren can alert a citizen to danger and the same sound can call a first responder to report for duty.

We need to be a spiritual first responder when we hear the tragic news of a lost and dying world that is destined to destruction without the hope that only Christ can give.

We need to recognize that God calls us to accept His call for us to listen to His call for us to take up the task of spreading the Good News that there is eternal life available to those who will accept God’s precious gift! Freely God has given His precious gift and we must share that gift with those around us. Will you open your ears and spread the word?

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

THE RIGHT CHOICE!

Deuteronomy 30:19 – Devotional

Deuteronomy 30:19

“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: choose life, that both you and your seed may live.”

Here is a news flash: YOU CANNOT MAKE DECISIONS FOR PEOPLE! Frequently we parents wish we could somehow make the right decisions for our kids that would keep them free from harm and danger—but we can’t!

Way back in the 1960’s, when I was a Juvenile Probation Officer, I seemingly had the lives and future of these delinquents in my hands. It was an awesome responsibility. Repeatedly I would explain the consequences of their actions only to discover within a short time that they had been arrested yet again.

I have to admit that it would have been easy to give up on these kids, but often I was the only one who was on their side (even if they didn’t know it). I felt that God had placed me in a position to offer them a hope for their future.

Try as hard as I might there came a time when I had done all that was in my power to do. I had to let go and allow them to “sink or swim.” Some failed to swim!! We can do our best for those who God has allowed us to minister to, but there comes a time when we must leave the choice up to them!

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

REMEMBER WHAT GOD HAS DONE!

Deuteronomy 11:7 – Devotional

Deuteronomy 11:7

“But your eyes have seen every great act of the Lord which He did.”

There is no question in my mind that I am better at forgetting than I am at remembering. The older I get, the more efficient I am at forgetting things that once were easy to recall and bring to mind.

I am coming to realize that it is not so much the things that I recall that matter the most, but what I do with the things that do come to mind. The critical question is, do I take action when I see the “light” that the Holy Spirit reveals to me?

In today’s Scripture, Moses is bringing to remembrance the mighty acts that God has performed for the Israelites in delivering them from bondage in Egypt. He challenges the people to recall what God has done and take positive action as a result.

We have seen the way God has acted on our behalf. As a result, it is time for us to take action. The Lord is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. We can trust Him to open the doors of opportunity to serve Him in the days that He allots to us! Are we taking action?

Blessings dear hearts! God is with us today in order for us to be a blessing!

WAIT FOR GOD’S TIMING!

Deuteronomy 23:24 – Devotional

Deuteronomy 23:24

“When you come into your neighbor’s vineyard, you may eat your fill of grapes at your pleasure, but you shall not put any in your container.“

Years ago when my boyhood friend and I invaded our neighbor’s vineyard we had no idea there was Scripture that seemed to permit us to eat the grapes. All we knew was that there were Concord grapes that were begging for us to eat them. The problem was that we often picked them before they were ripe. The consequence was the green grapes made us sick.

Many times in our life we run ahead of God and try to pick spiritual “grapes” before they are ripe. God’s timing is always so much better than ours. He knows the heart of each individual.

One day I spoke with a widow in a cemetery who was sobbing pitifully. She shared with me that someone had stolen flowers from her husband’s grave and had also taken the grave marker. All I could do was listen to her and pray for her. We eventually were able to replace the grave marker.

God knows when the timing is right. We need to watch carefully for the season to progress and the fruit become ripe. We need to always be ready to glean in the Lord’s vineyard. He will bring the increase.

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