GRACE AND PEACE​!​

Philemon 1:3 – Devotional

Philemon 1:3​

“Grace and peace to you, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”

On the last day of the month of November, it is a reminder that the days are getting much shorter and the climate is becoming much cooler. It is also a reminder to me that the conditions around me will change, but the Christ within me never changes!

When I think of Grace and Peace, it causes me to stop and question what quality do I leave behind when I have spent time with others? I hope I leave the sweet fragrance of grace and peace.

My wife Joyce had a special gift of sharing grace and peace wherever she went. I have to confess she detected needs in the hearts and lives of people that I had not been aware of. She would drop a card or note to those people and repeatedly they would respond with how she had given them hope at just the right time!

I will never have the same gift that Joyce did, but God has given me certain gifts. One is just being a father to those who have never had an earthly dad to call on when the going got tough. If you are one who lacks an earthly dad to call on, always feel free to cry on my shoulder and know that while I may not know all of the answers, I know the One who promises grace and peace!

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

GOD’S HARVEST! – Philemon 1:10-11 Devotional

Philemon 1:10-11

“I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten while in my chains, who once was unprofitable to you, but now is profitable to you and to me.”

How often do we place our reputation and authority on the line for a brother or sister in the Lord? I fear that we are more concerned about what people think of us than what the Lord calls us to do.

Paul has encountered a runaway slave named Onesimus and led him to a saving knowledge of Christ. This former slave is now returning to his former master and faces an uncertain future. He will either be harshly punished or accepted as a brother in the Lord.

We may encounter individuals who have been slaves to sin. The Lord calls us to be ready to receive them should they demonstrate by changed lives that they have truly been born again.

By their fruit we will know them. The Lord calls us to be fruit inspectors and reap a spiritual harvest. How much time are we spending in God’s orchard of this world? Be ready to reap the harvest!

Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
