CHANGE ME LORD!

Psalm 51:10 – Devotional

Psalm 51:10

“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.“

Many times I need to remind myself that my attitude is showing. It is at these moments when Psalm 51:10 seems an appropriate prayer to breathe.

It is not an easy process for us to change our attitude. We may know what the Bible says about living a Christ-like life, but it is not so easy to put it into practice. There always seems to be too much of us and too little of Christ in us.

How do we move from knowing about a Christ-like life and putting it into practice? I think the answer is to be found in today’s Scripture. It is not what we do, but what Christ has done for us. Too many times we struggle and strain in trying to be good enough to change. It does not work!

We need to acknowledge that we are incapable of making the change in ourselves and yield our selfish will to His divine will. Jesus paid the price for our salvation and He also has sent the Holy Spirit to do what we can never do.

The next time we see our self-centered attitude rising, let us commit ourselves to admitting that it is only by the Lord’s help we can change.

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

CHOOSE TO REJOICE!

Psalm 118:24 – Devotional

Psalm 118:24

“This is the day the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.“

A new month is here and we are closer to eternity than we have ever been before! The question we should ask ourselves is; “How will I best use this day as a faithful servant of the Lord?” (Pause and pray that short prayer right now.)

There are believers who live their life looking as if they had been submerged in a vat of vinegar. That is a terrible witness for the Lord! Other believers who have experienced life-shattering experience glow with heavenly radiance.

What is the difference? I believe the difference is in our choice to rejoice instead of to complain. That’s right! We can choose to see the good in each and every situation. We all will pass through the dark valley, but God has assured us He will be right there beside us!

As you live the remaining days, weeks, months, and years of your life, I urge you to choose to rejoice in each situation your path through life leads you. It may be the high ground or the valley, but the Lord is beside you!

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

THIRST FOR GOD!

Psalm 63:1 – Devotional

Psalm 63:1

“O God, You are my God; early will I seek You; my soul thirsts for You; my flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water.“

A friend once shared with me a conversation he had with his sweetheart who was many miles away. He asked her if she was spending time reading the Bible and talking with the Lord. She confessed that she wasn’t. He counseled her to make time in the word and prayer her priorities.

My wife Joyce and I were like hand in glove since we were fourteen. We had 66 wonderful years together before she slipped beyond the pain and agony of this life into that wonderful place the Lord has prepared for us. I miss her so bad it hurts.

It is always well for us to cry out in longing to the Lord when we experience the desert times of our life. It is important to realize that the Lord is more anxious to come near to us than we are to come near to Him. The parable that Jesus told of the prodigal son reveals that our heavenly Father is always waiting to welcome us back when we make our way back home.

Do you miss Him? If there is a lack of thirst for the presence of the living God in your life, spend time reading and meditating on His Word. Tell Him where you are and how much you miss Him. Thirst for God! He is waiting to welcome you home!

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

WE NEED NOT FEAR!

Psalm 23:4 – Devotional

Psalm 23:4

“Yes, even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I have no fear of evil, for You are with me; Your rod and staff comfort me.“

Many years have flown by since I sat beside the hospital bed of my eldest daughter, Brenda Joy, and read psalm after Psalm at her request. It seems as if I repeated Psalm 23 more times than any of the others and she always asked me to read again and again.

Her breathing became increasingly shallow and then she sweetly slipped from this veil of tears and pain to be with her Lord and Savior. What those final moments are to those of us who have experienced the second birth!

Today would have been Brenda’s 67th birthday. I doubt she is celebrating the date of her physical birth, but each moment in Paradise she is praising the Lord for her spiritual birth and the eternity she has before her!

Believers do not need to fear the moment of our physical death. The saints of God have often seen a glimpse of glory as they departed this world, and their reports reveal that we have a glorious home waiting for us. We need not fear the valley of the shadow of death for our Lord is with us continually!

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