WORDS THAT LAST​!​​

Matthew 24:35 – Devotional

Matthew 24:35

“Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.”

In my mind’s eye I recall our family gathered around the dinner table. I imagine our kids are still at home and we are enjoying a sweet time of sharing. Across the table from me is Joyce, my precious wife. To her right is our oldest daughter, Brenda. Next to Brenda and to my right is our youngest daughter, Lori. On my left and to the right of Joyce is our son, Dan. A wonderful picture . . . but it did not last.

In the blink of an eye it seems, the kids marry and leave home. Grandbabies are born and illness takes my dear wife and both daughters. All three have slipped the bonds of this earth and soared into Paradise. I will never be able to sit around the table with them on this earth, but oh, how I look forward to that day when I will not only see them, but all of my loved ones. Even more wonderful, I will see the Savior who loved me enough to die for me.

C.T. Studd lived from 1860 to 1931. He composed a poem that is now so familiar that many think it is from Scripture. Here is a verse from that poem: “Only one life, ’twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last. And when I am dying, how happy I’ll be, If the lamp of my life has been burned out for Thee.”

That is the moment in time I fervently anticipate! What a day of rejoicing that will be!

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

MUSTARD SEED FAITH!​​

Matthew 17:19 – Devotional

Matthew 17:19

“If you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.“

What is the most difficult thing you are facing in your life right now? What task or tribulation is so great you feel like it is ready to flatten you out? Who is looming over you ready to do you harm? What mountain threatens to collapse on you?

Faith is not measured by the bushel, but by the seed. Let me repeat that again: Faith is not measured by the bushel, but by the seed. All God asks of us is a tiny seed of faith, then He steps in to perform the miracle that is needed.

The Lord is eager to bless those who open their hearts to His blessing. We sometimes feel that the challenges we face are too great for God to handle. That is a lot of baloney! Nothing is impossible with God! Even the disciples of Jesus felt they were not up to the task of working miracles.

Before we are too critical of the disciples, what about the situations in our lives? Do we possess the mustard-seed size faith needed to turn our problems into the opportunities for God to bring His deliverance? Are we committed to trust in His strength and wisdom rather than trying to do things ourselves? By faith we can say: Lord I believe, please help my unbelief!

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

LET GOD BE GOD!

Matthew 6:10 – Devotional

Matthew 6:10

“Your kingdom come, Your will be done, here on earth as it is in heaven!”

I once found myself being convicted of words which I had spoken to a family in our congregation. They were considering a move across the country to be near their daughter and grandchildren. (Not to mention, it would also be much warmer.) I discouraged them!

To even think of them leaving our congregation was extremely hard for me. They and their family had been members of my congregation for many years. The wife’s parents were also members of my congregation and I officiated at each of their funerals.

The problem was that I had been allowing my wishes to take precedence in the matter. These dear friends have laughingly forgiven me for my desire to keep them here, but I have learned a lesson (or at least I am trying to learn) — LET GOD DO THE LEADING!

I am sure that there are many areas of my life where I have stepped out ahead of the Lord’s leadership instead of waiting on Him. I want to become increasingly committed to seek the guidance and leadership of the Holy Spirit. Rather than looking out for our own interests, we need to encourage each other to pray fervently and then let God be God!

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