JANUARY 29TH DEVOTIONAL

January 29, 2015 I will call on you, my God, for you will answer me; turn your ear to me and hear my prayer. Psalm 17:6   Within our last two devotions, we have looked at two essentials of being a Christian. It has been our faith which has sustained us besides the grace which only God can provide. We looked at The Book. The Bible isn’t a novel or several lines of…

JANUARY 28TH DEVOTIONAL

January 28, 2016 If you obey the Lord your God and keep His commands and decrees that are written in this Book of the Law and turn to the Lord your God with all your heart and with your soul. Deuteronomy 30:10 Yesterday, we took apart the word faith letter by letter. We all know this is essential in our world today with all that is going on. It is fortunate to have a…

January 27th Devotional

January 27, 2016 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ. Romans 11:17 Within the words we say, there are nyms. There are synonyms, words meaning the same; antonyms, two opposite words; homonyms, two words sounding the same but with a different meaning and one referring to letters, the acronym, each letter…

January 26th Devotional

January 26, 2016 Obey me, and I will be your God and you will be my people. Walk in obedience to all I command you, that it may go well with you. Jeremiah 7:23 We looked at how the word “hate” is ineffective in our thoughts. Another part of our personality which is not becoming is simply not being obedient. It does not gain popularity or achieve more love but quite…

JANUARY 25TH DEVOTIONAL

January 25, 2016 I hate those who cling to worthless idols; as for me, I trust in the Lord. Psalm 31:6 When I was little, one of many thoughts my mother said to me was simply “Do not hate someone or something, simply dislike it.” I have tried to remember it especially when it comes to food. There are certain ones I have a strong dislike for but I strive to being a little…
January 22, 2016 The Lord detests all the proud of heart. Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished. Proverbs 16:5 I mentioned pride in yesterday’s writing. I would like to explore it more within today’s thoughts. These are mine of course but not as powerful as the words I heard from Vic Pentz or Bob Whitlock, two pastors who provided me instruction on how this word…

JANUARY 20TH DEVOTIONAL

January 20, 2016 And on this rock I will build my church. Matthew 16:18b In a conversation with Peter, Jesus informs he will be similar to a foundation when forming the church. However, the hymn writer wrote “The Church’s One Foundation is Jesus Christ, her Lord.” It may be a good idea to start a project with an individual similar to a professional sports team trying to…

JANUARY 19TH DEVOTIONAL

January 19, 2016 Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I find delight. Psalm 119:35 Are you like I am and like to travel? I enjoy driving to a specific destination. I do not fear flying. It would be fun to take a train ride somewhere. Starting this spring and prayerfully for numerous times, I will be able to ride my bike and have company. Yes, naturally God…

JANUARY 18TH DEVOTIONAL

January 18, 2016 Lord my God, I take refuge in you; save and deliver me from all who pursue me. Psalm 7:1 When we were little, it was fun to play Hide and Seek. We would hide in the best place possible for the seeker would not find us and quite possibly eventually give up. Children may still participate in this activity. I observed it last summer in a swimming pool where…
