BE CONFIDENT!

Isaiah 41:10 – Devotional

Isaiah 41:10

“Fear not for I am with you. Don’t be depressed I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you and hold you up with My righteous right hand.“

One summer when I was a young boy, I was challenged to memorize key verses in Scripture. One of those verses was Isaiah 41:10. I cannot begin to tell you how many times across the years this verse has been with me.

In today’s world of Global Positioning System technology, there is a voice that gives instructions of where to turn and how far to go before giving the next instruction of where to turn and how far to go. I have known drivers that turn their GPS off just to silence that voice.

I come from a day and age where we learned to read maps. When I worked as a milk man it was necessary to use a code to tell how many intersections to cross, when to turn left or right and which house was to receive the home delivery (I am a very old man!).

God gives us assurance that His voice will always strengthen, help, and uphold us as we obediently follow His word and His way. All we need to do IS TO FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS! Do not silence His voice.

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

FAITH WALKING!

Isaiah 41:10 – Devotional

Isaiah 41:10

“Fear not, I am with you, and do not be depressed, I am your God. I will give you strength, help you and hold up with My righteous right hand.“

I know I have used this verse before. Not only that, I will use it again and again! As a matter of fact, it was one of the first verses I ever memorized when I was a small boy in Camas, Washington.

I am always reminded of the story of an older gentleman who called his wife such endearing names that it was very noticeable — “Honey,” “Sweetie,” “Dearie,” “Love,” and such like. A friend remarked about it and complimented the older man on the sweet names he called his wife. The old gentleman replied, “I have to. I haven’t been able to remember her name for ten years.”

Jesus, in His earthly ministry, spoke often of the “Kingdom of Heaven.” In His parables He would typically begin: “The Kingdom of Heaven is like …..” As we think of God’s wonderful Kingdom, there are two elements: The here and now, and the future glory awaiting us.

We have both a present reality and a brilliant future hope. Our challenge and purpose should always be to walk by faith in God and live according to His word. That my precious friend is – – FAITH WALKING! Try it!

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

WILLING TO SERVE!

Isaiah 6:8 – Devotional

Isaiah 6:8

“I heard the voice of the LORD saying: ‘Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?’ Then I said, ‘Here am I send me.’”

I was blessed to have wonderful and godly parents. My dad was especially adept at doing just about anything that needed to be done. Carpentry, plumbing, electrical, and, any other specialty when the need demanded it.

My mom on the other hand was more the director of operations—Dad’s operations that is. When someone needed something done, Mom would quickly volunteer poor ole Dad and say he would be glad to do it! Dad would just smile and moan and get busy doing it.

Christians all too often are like my mom. When God has a task to be accomplished they start thinking about someone else who could do the job. While the words may not be spoken, their message is this: “Here am I—send someone else!”

Matthew 9:37-38 tells us that we are to pray for the Lord to send out laborers for the harvest. When you ask the Lord to use you, don’t question your assigned part, just take joy in your participation.

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

HELD SECURELY BY THE LORD!

Isaiah 41:10 – Devotional

Isaiah 41:10

“Fear not, for I am with you. Do not be discouraged for I am your God – – I will hold you securely in My righteous right hand.”

The comic strip character, Snoopy, was always trying to write the great American novel. As he pecked away on his typewriter, he imagined himself to be a world-famous author. His opening line never changed: It was a dark and stormy night.

I recall a dark night that was not stormy as far as the weather was concerned, but stormy with danger and injury. Our car had over-turned while being towed behind a wrecker. Our son was badly injured and the tow truck driver took my wife and three kids to the hospital, leaving me behind with our wrecked automobile.

In the darkness I only had a flashlight to warn on-coming traffic that they were approaching an accident scene. It was just a short time later when two shady looking characters stopped — not to assist me, but to help themselves. As they circled around the damaged vehicle, I overheard one say that there was nothing of value to them. They went back to their car and quickly drove off into the night.

I am convinced that the Lord was holding me securely on that dark and potentially stormy night. He has always been there when I needed Him. Thank you Lord!

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

RIGHT ON TIME!​​

Isaiah 41:10 – Devotional

Isaiah 41:10

“Everything has its own season, and an appropriate time for every purpose under heaven.”

Schedules are extremely important. The world of public transportation relies on accurate schedules. I have mentioned many times in the past that I have an application on my computer that alerts me to the passes of the International Space Station (ISS), as it silently glides across the heavens over 200 miles above.

Over the years I have viewed the (ISS) as it passes overhead hundreds of times. Some of these passes occur during the dark hours so it is possible to see the Space Station as a very bright star. In some instances the Station passes into the earth’s shadow and seems to disappear.

Day after day, I know that the (ISS) makes its way around the earth. It may be cloudy or the sun may prevent our viewing it as it passes over head, but I always know that it is right on time.

It may often seem that the Lord is late in answering our prayers. We focus on our own desires rather than waiting on the Lord to bring about His will. At all times we need to remind ourselves that the Lord is always RIGHT ON TIME!

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

JUST FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS!​​

Isaiah 41:10 – Devotional

Isaiah 41:10

“Fear thou not for I am with you. Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yea I will help you, yea I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”

One summer when I was a young boy, we were challenged to memorize key verses in Scripture. One of those verses was Isaiah 41:10. I cannot begin to tell you how many times across the years this verse has been with me.

In today’s world of GPS (Global Positioning System) technology, there is a voice that gives instructions of where to turn and how far to go before giving the next instruction of where to turn and how far to go. I have known drivers that turn their GPS off just to silence that voice.

I come from a day and age where we learned to read maps. When I worked as a milk man it was necessary to use a code to tell how many intersections to cross, when to turn left or right and which house was to receive the home delivery (I am a very old man!).

God gives us assurance that His voice will always strengthen, help, and uphold us as we obediently follow His word and His way. Do not silence His voice. .… JUST FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS!

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