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 older 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 always has been there when I needed Him. Thank you Lord!

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!

THERE MAY YET BE TIME!

Isaiah 55:6 – Devotional

Isaiah 55:6

“Seek the LORD while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near.”

Across the years I have been in many evangelistic services where an invitation was given for sinners to come forward to receive Christ as their personal Savior. There were many who opened their heart’s door and received Jesus as their Savior.

As we rejoiced at those who said, yes, we were broken hearted by those who dug in their emotional heels and refused to yield to the Holy Spirit’s urging to come to Christ for eternal life.

One of those who refused to respond was my uncle, Harold. On the closing service of a revival he stood with tears flowing down his cheeks as his son and I begged him to go forward and receive Christ as his Lord.

The final chords of the invitation hymn silenced and the benediction was given so helpers could pray with those who knelt at the altar. As I watched my uncle walk out of the building, my heart ached. As far as I know, that was the closest Uncle Harold came to receiving Christ. If you or someone you know has stubbornly refused to say yes to the Lord, keep on keeping on! There may yet be time!

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

GOD’S STRENGTH IS ENOUGH!

Isaiah 41:10 – Devotional

Isaiah 41:10

“Fear not, for I am with you, don’t be depressed, I am your God. I will give you My strength to help you, and will hold you up with My righteous right hand.”

When you feel like you have come to the end of your own endurance, trust in God to sustain you.

You may also want to recall what Paul recalled about his experience in serving the Lord. He recalls that he was: kidnapped (Acts 21:27), beaten (Acts 21:30-31; 23:3), threatened (Acts 22:22; 27:42), arrested many times (Acts 21:33; 22:24, 31; 23:35; 28:16), accused in lawsuits (Acts 21:34; 22:30; 24:1-2; 25:2, 7; 28:4), interrogated (Acts 25:24-27), ridiculed (Acts 26:24), ignored (Acts 27:11), shipwrecked (Acts 27:41).

So how is your day going?!

It is very easy to slip into a pity party for the way we may be treated because we are committed Christians. Can I let you in on a little secret? Many of the things some believers endure are the result of their own actions rather than their walk with the Lord.

As you walk out the door today, make sure you have spent time reading God’s Word and speak with Him as the vital Friend who will be with you in everything you do throughout the day. Just remember that His strength is strong enough for the heaviest load you will have to bear!

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