AT THE CROSS!

Music Devotional

Galatians 6:14

“But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ,
by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.”

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

At the Cross (lyrics Isaac Watts,1707, and Ralph E. Hudson, 1885)

[verse 1]
Alas, and did my Savior bleed?
And did my Sovereign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I?

[chorus]
At the cross, at the cross where
I first saw the light,
And the burden of my heart rolled away,
It was there by faith I received my sight,
And now I am happy all the day!

[verse 2]
Was it for sins that I had done
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!

[chorus]
At the cross, at the cross where
I first saw the light,
And the burden of my heart rolled away,
It was there by faith I received my sight,
And now I am happy all the day!

[verse 3]
Well might the sun in darkness hide,
And shut His glories in,
When Christ, the mighty Maker, died
For man, His creature’s sin.

[chorus]
At the cross, at the cross where
I first saw the light,
And the burden of my heart rolled away,
It was there by faith I received my sight,
And now I am happy all the day!

[verse 4]
Thus might I hide my blushing face
While His dear cross appears.
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt mine eyes to tears.

[chorus]
At the cross, at the cross where
I first saw the light,
And the burden of my heart rolled away,
It was there by faith I received my sight,
And now I am happy all the day!

[verse 5]
But drops of grief can ne’er repay
The debt of love I owe;
Here, Lord, I give myself away,
’Tis all that I can do.

[chorus]
At the cross, at the cross where
I first saw the light,
And the burden of my heart rolled away,
It was there by faith I received my sight,
And now I am happy all the day!

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

SOMEONE CARES​!​​

Galatians 5:13 – Devotional

Galatians 5:13

“Dear brothers and sisters, we have been called to enjoy liberty, but we must never use our freedom to obey the flesh, but rather to serve each other.“

Thinking back across almost ninety years of my life, I am stunned by the degree society has seemingly become more self-centered and greedy. Don’t get me wrong, the heart of man (and woman) has always been sinful by nature, but it seems to be increasingly so.

I think we as born again believers have a calling, as never before, to live our lives in such a way as to serve others in the manner in which the Lord Jesus would have us serve.

For that to happen, we of necessity must begin each day by talking to the Lord. Open your Bible and also your heart. Prepare yourself to receive your marching orders for the day, then go out to fight the fight of faith!

Perhaps the best way to fight the fight of faith is to consciously be aware of ways to aid and assist others. That may be by a gift, a word of encouragement, or simply a smile. The important thing is to let someone know that someone cares!

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

SOWING AND REAPING​​​​​​​!​​

Galatians 6:7 – Devotional

Galatians 6:7

“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.”

Mike and Suzette Keller have a prison ministry in Florida. When they go to a prison they never know who they will have the opportunity to minister to on that particular day. Sometimes it is just two or three and at other times almost 100 will show up for their Bible study.

Mike begins each visit by asking the question; “If you think you can be good enough to get to heaven raise your hand?” Most of those attending raise their hand. Mike goes on to explain that they have been deceived by such thinking. He then presents the wonderful plan of salvation to the group. Many respond to receive Jesus as their personal Savior and Lord.

There is much deception in the world today. The things of the world crowd in to the extent that the things of God are pushed out. That can happen even in the life of a Christian. When the things around us take a higher priority to the things of God we are in trouble.

It is time for an evaluation of our life. In what ways do you feel like the enemy of our souls deceives us? It is time to allow the Lord to be in control of our life.

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

SPIRITUAL FRUIT!

Galatians 5:22-23 – Devotional

Galatians 5:22-23

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.”

It is that special time of year when the fruit ripens on the trees—sweet, delicious, and ready to eat. It makes my mouth water just thinking of a perfectly ripe and juicy peach! I know, however, that in just a few short weeks the weather will turn bitterly cold and throughout the months of winter, the tree that now produces such tasty fruit will stand stark and bare, empty of its delicious produce.

God promises us a fruit of the Spirit that never passes away! The fruit that we read about in today’s Scripture is a fruit that meets the deepest needs of the human soul. It is fruit that produces life.

Years ago I was teaching a Sociology class at Boise State University. With about 120 indifferent students staring at me, I gave them their first assignment — to write the three things they desired most in their life. To be sure, there were a few ridiculous answers, but a wide majority listed the first three fruits of the Spirit: LOVE, JOY, PEACE.

People seek these attributes in many different ways, but the fruit that God promises will always produce a spirit that brings comfort.

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