LABOR DAY!

John 9:4 – Devotional

John 9:4​

“I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work.”

Today, September 7th, is Labor Day here in the US and Labour Day in Canada. Isn’t it interesting that it is called Labor/Labour Day, when usually no work is done on this holiday? One of the great mysteries of life! Go figure!

There are so many times in our life when the opportunity is lost to witness to someone because we are afraid — afraid to appear outdated, use the wrong Scriptures, or to be misunderstood in some other way.

I once heard of a young man who was being trained in soul-winning evangelism. He told his trainer that he would go along on the calls they made, but he would never be able to do the witnessing himself. There came a day, however, when the young man wanted to witness to his college roommate. As they talked, the young man seemed to have forgotten everything in which he had been instructed. He used the “wrong” scriptures and was very blunt in his approach. He finally asked his roommate, “Well, are you going to accept Jesus as your Savior or not?” The roommate replied, “Of course I will. You made it so plain to me.” They knelt and the roommate received Jesus!

If someone was approaching a bridge that had been washed away and you were stopped ahead of them, I’m sure you would immediately wave your hands to warn them of the dangerous precipice that lie ahead. Believe me, there is one! Let’s labor every day!

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

FISH BREAKFAST!

John 21:9 – Devotional

John 21:9

“Then, as soon as they had come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread.“

Have you ever experienced a meal so delectable that years later the memory still makes your mouth water? There was once a restaurant in north Idaho that was mine and Joyce’s favorite. Their specialty was baked potatoes. It was heartbreaking to drive by our favorite eatery on a trip north only to discover the building had been destroyed by fire. No more of those wonderful baked potatoes for us.

Today’s scripture has often made me wonder what that seashore breakfast must have tasted like to the disciples who had been invited to come and dine. Think about it! The Master who had created the universe had Himself prepared fish and bread. I am sure that they had never wrapped their lips around anything so delicious.

The Master invites each and every one of us to gather around His table and partake of the food He prepares for us. His food nourishes and sustains us to do His will for our lives.

If you are trying to survive on the scraps of this world, I want to invite you to move up to the Lord’s table and enjoy the meal He has prepared for His disciples. It will do more than sustain you — it will equip you for His service.

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

OUR HEARTS ADORE THEE​!

John 1:14,16 – Devotional

John 1:14,16

“So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness… From his abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another.”

This week we have a special new song for you created by Russ Hansen entitled, “Our Hearts Adore Thee.” He’d appreciate your feedback on this song–please send it to him at inspiration@thegoodbookcompany.com.

Our Hearts Adore Thee (verse lyrics by St. Bernard of Clairvaux)

[verse 1]
Jesus, the very thought of Thee
With sweetness fills the breast;
But sweeter far Thy face to see,
And in Thy presence rest.

[chorus]
Jesus, all our hearts adore Thee,
Full of grace and truth and light;
In Thy presence we find mercy,
In Thy love our great delight.
Ever near us, never leaving—
Be our song by day and night.

[verse 2]
No voice can sing, no heart can frame,
Nor can the mem’ry find
A Sweeter sound than Thy blest name,
O Saviour of mankind!

[chorus]
Jesus, all our hearts adore Thee,
Full of grace and truth and light;
In Thy presence we find mercy,
In Thy love our great delight.
Ever near us, never leaving—
Be our song by day and night.

[verse 3]
O Hope of every contrite heart,
O Joy of all the meek,
To those who fall, how kind Thou art!
How good to those who seek!

[chorus]
Jesus, all our hearts adore Thee,
Full of grace and truth and light;
In Thy presence we find mercy,
In Thy love our great delight.
Ever near us, never leaving—
Be our song by day and night.

[verse 4]
But what to those who find? Ah, this
Nor tongue nor pen can show;
The love of Jesus, what it is,
None but his loved ones know.

[final chorus]
Jesus, all our hearts adore Thee,
Full of grace and truth and light;
In Thy presence we find mercy,
In Thy love our great delight.
Ever near us, never leaving—
Be our song by day and night.

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

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

LAZARUS, COME OUT!

Music Devotional

This Friday we have a special treat for you. Russ Hansen has created a new song entitled, “Lazarus, Come Out!” He would appreciate your feedback at inspiration@thegoodbookcompany.com.

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

Lazarus Come Out! (inspired by John 11:1-44)

[Verse 1]
Mary’s crying in the doorway
Martha’s barely holding on
Four long days inside the graveyard
Now all hope already gone
Friends are whispering, “If He loved him
Why’d He wait so long to come?”
But Jesus walked into the sorrow
Knowing death would soon be done

[Pre-Chorus]
Tears fell down from Heaven’s eyes
Standing where His friend had died

[Chorus]
“Lazarus, come out!”
Hear the tomb shaking now
Chains of death are breaking down
When the Living Word speaks out
“I AM the resurrection and the life”
The stone is rolled away
Anyone believing in His name
Will live again, will rise again

[Verse 2]
Martha said, “Lord, I still trust You
Even now God hears Your prayer”
Jesus answered with a promise
Strong enough for all despair
“I AM the resurrection
And the life for all who believe
Even after death has claimed them
Still they live eternally”

[Pre-Chorus]
“Do you believe this?” Jesus said
Hope was rising from the dead

[Chorus]
“Lazarus, come out!”
Hear the darkness giving ground
Buried dreams are waking now
When the Savior calls them out
“I AM the resurrection and the life”
No grave can hold eternal light
Everyone who lives in Me by faith
Will never die, no never die

[Bridge]
Wrapped in grave clothes, stepping free
A living sign for all to see
The tomb could not keep death’s demand
When resurrection took His stand

And one day every sealed-up grave
Will hear the voice that darkness obeys
The King who stood in Bethany
Still calls the dead to life today

[Breakdown]
Roll the stone away
Let the people see
What impossible looks like
When God speaks victory

[Final Chorus]
“Lazarus, come out!”
Let the church cry it aloud
Jesus Christ has conquered now
Every fear beneath the ground
“I AM the resurrection and the life”
Forevermore the grave denied
Anyone believing in the Son
Will live forever, death is done

[Outro]
The tomb was full of silence
Till Mercy called his name
And everything changed
When Jesus came

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

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