TAKE HEED​​!

Mark 13:33​ – Devotional

Mark 13:33​

“Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is.“

Most true Bible scholars have concluded that there are no further prophecies that need to be fulfilled before the Lord appears to call His church to that wonderful home that has been prepared for us. “Even so, come, Lord Jesus!” (Revelation 22:20).

With the return of Christ so near at hand there is much work for us to do. We live in the midst of a lost and dying world. The word of hope and salvation that the lost need to hear should be on our tongue. As people see Jesus in us, we need to be ready to share the gospel message with them and have their names written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

Sadly, there are those who treat the prophecies of Christ’s return as only a joke, or they claim that we believers have been deceived. We have already observed enough fulfilled prophecies to know that Christ’s return is real and imminent. It is going to happen!

With such utter disregard of Scripture around us, we must be totally committed to share the only hope for those without eternal salvation. We may be ridiculed and mocked for our stand for Christ, but it may be the eternal lifeline for someone.

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

HAVE MERCY ON ME!

Mark 10:47 – Devotional

Mark 10:47

“Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

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

This Friday we have a special treat for you. Russ Hansen has combined AI and Scripture to produce an original song entitled, “Have Mercy on Me!” based on the account of Jesus healing the blind man Bartimaeus. We trust you enjoy this musical inspiration today. Russ would appreciate your feedback at inspiration@thegoodbookcompany.com.

HAVE MERCY ON ME!
(Inspired by Mark 10:46–52)

On the road from Jericho, the crowd was pressing in,
Voices all around me, yet my hope within.
I could not see Your face, but I knew You were near,
So I lifted up my voice for all to hear—

Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.
I’m calling out in faith; You’re all I need.
Though I once was blind, now I believe—
Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.

They told me to be silent, but I cried out even more,
For mercy’s what I’m longing for, that’s what I’m reaching toward.
Then I heard You calling, “What do you want from Me?”
“Lord, I want to see… I want to see.”

Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.
I’m calling out in faith; You’re all I need.
Though I once was blind, now I believe—
Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.

Faith made me whole, You opened my eyes,
Now I’ll follow You, Lord, all my life.
Your mercy found me, grace set me free—
I’ll never stop singing, “Have mercy on me!”

Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.
You gave me sight, You gave me peace.
Now I walk in light, and forever I’ll sing—
Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.

Have mercy on me!
Have mercy on me!
Have mercy on me!

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

NEARER, STILL NEARER!

Mark 12:30 – Devotional

Mark 12:30

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.”

This week’s inspirational video devotional features scenes from Teton National Park and the encouraging words of Mrs. C. H. Morris in her hymn, Nearer, Still Nearer.

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

Nearer, Still Nearer

Nearer, still nearer— close to Thy heart,
draw me, my Savior, so precious Thou art;
fold me, O fold me close to Thy breast;
shelter me safe in that Haven of Rest,
shelter me safe in that Haven of Rest.

Nearer, still nearer— nothing I bring,
naught as an off’ring to Jesus, my King–
only my sinful, now contrite heart;
grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart,
grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart.

Nearer, still nearer— Lord, to be Thine,
sin with its follies I gladly resign–
all of its pleasures, pomp and its pride;
give me but Jesus, my Lord crucified,
give me but Jesus, my Lord crucified.

Nearer, still nearer— while life shall last,
till safe in glory my anchor is cast;
through endless ages, ever to be
nearer, my Savior, still nearer to Thee,
nearer, my Savior, still nearer to Thee.

BE LIKE THE LORD!

Mark 9:35b – Devotional

Mark 9:35b

” – anyone who desires to be first, must yield their position and not only be last, but also become the servant of everyone.”

From time to time I have heard people express the desire to be more like the Lord. All too often these individuals seem to make every effort to trumpet their own accomplishments.

When our kids were young they often would bring a drawing they had made or some object they had put together. In the sight of others it might be worthless, but to Joyce and I as parents, those objects were priceless!

Many of us have encountered people who have attempted to trumpet their own accomplishments, even at the expense of demeaning the efforts of others. It is heartbreaking to watch as people belittle the efforts of others. It is like snuffing out the flame of creativity in someone’s life.

Jesus saw the value in the most humble follower. He never chose those who felt they were better than others, but selected those who would keep their eyes on Him and allow Him to be the pattern for their life. In what way are you striving to BE LIKE THE LORD?

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