OUR REASON FOR COURAGE!

Isaiah 41:10b – Devotional

Isaiah 41:10b

“I will strengthen you, help you, and hold you up with My righteous right hand.”

There are times when we seem to lack strength and power to overcome some of the obstacles in our life. I am at the age where tasks that seemed to require little or no effort, become major tasks. Are you able to relate to that yet? You will!

Over fifty years ago when I was stationed with the US Air Force in St. Anthony, Newfoundland, I used to listen to the radio stations on the Island. They had a unique way of assisting listeners. People would forward messages to the radio station for family and friends in far away communities. I did not know the people involved, but it reminded that we all have needs and we all need others in our life.

Who do we know who needs a call to give encouragement and just to let them know we are thinking of them and praying for them? Our call or letter might be the bright light they need in this sin darkened world!

Our reason for courage to help others is the eternal help Christ has extended to us by His eternal sacrifice. That is news that is worthy to be sent out into a world that needs help and hope today!

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

THE NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES​​​​​​!

Isaiah 42:8 – Devotional

Isaiah 42:8

“I am the LORD, that is My name; and My glory I will not give to another, nor My praise to carved images.”

I have had the precious honor to spend the last brief moments of this life, with some of God’s children. It is always a sacred moment that is filled with the glory that is beyond the things of this world.

In those sacred moments I have always felt a new sense of alienation from the things of this world and an attraction to the wonderful eternity that awaits those of us who have received eternal life at the moment we were born again.

It reminds me of the old saying; “If you have only been born once you have to die twice; but if you have been born twice, you only have to die once!” I think that is why God’s children can have victory even when facing critical situations.

When we call upon the Name that is above all names, we can have a calm and peace that transcends the glitz and glamour this phony world can ever offer. It reminds me once again that this world is not my home, I am just passing through! I hope that is true for you as well. If not, invite Jesus into you life!

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

SOARING WITH GOD!

Isaiah 40:31 – Devotional

Isaiah 40:31

“Those who trust in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not become weary, walk and not faint.”

Each time I glance up at the wall above my desk I read the words of today’s Scripture. It is done in counted cross stitch, and has a very special place in my heart. You see, it was presented to me by our daughter, Brenda, back in 1991, just before she went to be with the Lord.

This fantastic verse reminds us of one of God’s most precious promises: When we wait on the Lord, He will renew our strength. We get into trouble when we attempt to produce our own strength instead of waiting for His strength.

It is worth noting that anytime people run ahead of God and rely upon their own strength, they get into trouble. On the other hand, when people inquire of the Lord and wait for Him to lead, they are rewarded with His power.

It is vital for us to spend our time in fellowship with the Lord. Reading His Word, speaking with Him in prayer and listening patiently for His still small voice to guide us. Not running ahead of Him or lagging behind Him, but patiently walking close at His side.

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

GROWING WITH JESUS!

Isaiah 46:4 – Devotional

Isaiah 46:4

“Even to your old age and gray hairs I am He, I am He who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.”

I once read an article in the newspaper that mentioned something about an elderly man. As I scanned down through the article, I was shocked to read that the man was two years younger than I am. If he was categorized as an elderly man, what does that make me? I guess the answer is in the eyes of the beholder!

My mom used to have a rental property behind her house. A widower lived there and she always referred to him as the old man. One day I challenged her by reminding her that he was three years younger than she was. (That did not go over well with my mom!)

Sometimes I observe people who may be about 35, and wonder, at what point are they no longer considered young people? That is a tough question. It is a fact that many in our modern culture seem to worship the concept of youth.

Can I let you in on a little secret? It is okay to allow yourself to mature (grow old). In Scripture many people were the greatest blessing in their latter years. I have come to the conclusion that age is not a determiner. Regardless of our age we need to put our shoulder to the wheel and grow more like Jesus each and every day.

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