SHINE BRIGHT​​​​​​!

Matthew 5:16 – Devotional

Matthew 5:16

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”

There seems to be nothing as depressing as a dim light bulb. A light bulb is designed to give light! Just calm down, I can almost hear your protests that there are certain uses for light to be reduced in order to produce a desired effect.

Regardless of whether light is dimmed or diffused, it overcomes darkness. As the old spiritual song goes, The darker the night the brighter the light shines. I hope I have the words right, but the meaning is clear.

Many people seem to be living in a state of gloom and darkness. Sin and strife seem to pervade the very fabric of our modern world and no matter what worldly forces are used to bring order out of our chaos, they fail!

There is only one answer and that is in Jesus Christ – the LIGHT OF THE WORLD! There is another song we used to sing when I was just a boy in Camas, Washington. This little light of mine, I’m going to let it shine! Let your light of Christ shine bright so others can see Jesus in you!

Blessings dear hearts walk with God today and become a blessing!

LABOR TO RECEIVE REST​​​​!

Matthew 11:28 – Devotional

Matthew 11:28

“Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.“

It seems that this call of Jesus to come to Him and we will receive rest is what we long for when we feel crushed by the cares and burdens of everyday life. That is until we read further in this passage and discover that He calls us to become yoked with Him. Some cleaver jokester has commented; “Is this a yoke?”

I assure each of us that being yoked with Christ is not a laughing matter. The fact of the matter is that to take on the yoke of Christ actually is finding a deep and enduring rest that assures us of eternal rest.

Not only can we be assured of eternal peace and rest, but we also find a peace here on earth that passes all human understanding. In the midst of the storms of life we can find rest for our souls.

If you are struggling beneath the crushing cares of this world, I urge you to join with those of us who have found that the yoke of Christ lifts our burdens and brings joy that is abundant and exhilarating.

Blessings dear hearts walk with God today and be a blessing!

VALUABLES​​!

Matthew 6:19-21 – Devotional

Matthew 6:19-21

“Do not lay up for yourselves treasure on earth, were moth and dust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for your yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.“

It is sad to observe people work themselves into a frenzy trying to amass a nest egg that will provide them with ease and luxury when they retire. The problem is that many work so hard with such singleness of heart that they destroy their closet relationships and sacrifice those closest to them in their frantic efforts.

Occasionally we hear about a famous and wealthy person who becomes so despondent when their fortune slips away that they resort to suicide. The things of this world will always fail to bring the contentment that so many pursue so passionately.

Jesus was well aware of the fickle nature of the human heart. He knew that wealth never brings peace and harmony. Solomon was a classic example of how cheap and hollow the accumulation of worldly riches really is. He seemed to have it all but concluded that it was all vanity.

Jesus teaches us that we are not to devote our efforts to attain the things of this world that will vanish. The Lord will provide us with what we actually need, and when we surrender our will to find and follow His will, we will lay up treasures in heaven that will last for eternity. Treasure in heaven equals peace here below.
