WE CAN KNOW!

Luke 12:56 – Devotional

Luke 12:56

“You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky. How is it that you don’t know how to interpret this present time?”

Meteorologists are sometimes able to predict the path of storms long before they actually arrive. Teams of experts study data collected from a multitude of sources in order to predict potential threats of violent weather such as hurricanes and tornadoes. This information can be used to help those in the path of storms to take shelter and minimize risk.

Jesus seemed to have something like this in mind when He spoke about people knowing how to predict weather patterns, but failing to understand what is happening in fulfillment of the prophecy given in God’s Word.

In Matthew 24, Jesus gives us over twenty signs that mark His second coming. If we go and read that chapter we will find a description of what is happening in our world at the present time.

So what does this mean to us? It means that there is a lost and dying world around us facing an eternity in hell unless they repent and accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. Let us be faithful to rescue as many as possible.

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

BE STANDOUT DOERS!

Luke 6:28 – Devotional

Luke 6:28

“Bless the ones who curse you and pray for the ones who hurt you.”

It is honorable to do good to those around us. We can probably recall times when we exchanged gifts and pleasantries with friends and co-workers. The sun shone and the birds sang. What a wonderful world!

Back to reality! Life is not usually lived in such glorious conditions. More often we find ourselves in disputes and conflicts that seem to arise from nowhere. Actually we know where their source comes from. The enemy of our souls has determined to make God’s children miserable. He uses his weapons of hate and deceit to cause strife and division.

As born-again believers of Christ, we have been delivered from the curse of eternal punishment, but that does not mean we will not be subject to the attacks of the enemy of our souls. Satan wants us to believe that he is in control, but Christ won the battle on the cross and we can live in victory!

The Lord wants us to be more than survivors. He wants us to cross life’s finish line with our hands raised in victory. The Lord wants us to be standout doers that have the grace to love those who hurt us by their words and actions. The Lord wants us to be standout doers of His will and of His way!

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

JESUS LOVES ME!

Luke 18:15-17​ – Devotional

Luke 18:15-17

“People were also bringing babies to Jesus to have him touch them. When the disciples saw this, they rebuked them. But Jesus called the children to him and said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.’”

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

In 1860, Susan Warner wrote a novel titled, “Say and Seal.” She alluded to the fact that Jesus loves little children. After the novel had been published and circulated, she was informed by a Sunday School teacher that a young boy was lying in the hospital near death.

Susan called her sister, Anna, and asked if she could write a hymn for the teacher to sing to the dying lad. Anna wrote the first verse and two years later, William Bradbury wrote the second and third stanzas.

The simple words of this song speak volumes. I heard the story of an old retired minister who had returned to speak at the church he had pastored for many years. He had not been seen by the congregation for a very long time and they were very anxious to hear what his words of wisdom would be. Slowly he made his way to the microphone and spoke in a soft voice: “Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so!” His words were more powerful than the best prepared sermon.

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

JESUS LOVES ME

1. Jesus loves me! This I know, For the Bible tells me so.
Little ones to Him belong; They are weak, but He is strong.

Refrain: Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so.

2. Jesus loves me He who died, Heaven’s gate to open wide;
He will wash away my sin, Let His little child come in.

Refrain: Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so.

3. Jesus, take this heart of mine, Make it pure and wholly Thine;
On the cross You died for me, I will try to live for Thee.

Refrain: Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so.

AN OPEN INVITATION!

Luke 15:31 – Devotional

Luke 15:31

“And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all I have is yours.’”

I love the parables of Jesus. They have taught me so much. Jesus did not spend His earthly ministry teaching the spiritually elite, although He amazed them when He was in the Temple at twelve years of age. His ministry was to share the good news of hope with the common people.

It seems to be very evident that His parable of the Prodigal Son was given to encourage those who had lost their way and that there was a Father waiting to welcome them home with rejoicing.

I know that the Lord is waiting with open arms to receive the discouraged and down-hearted prodigal. It makes me want to shout: What a mighty God we serve! I mean that with all my heart and soul.

It is my desire to always strive to be used by our Heavenly Father to cheerfully welcome home those who wake up and realize that they would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of God than dwell in the tents of wickedness.

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