Daily Devotion: Psalm 91:4

By

Psalm 91:4    "He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler."

Quite honestly, this morning I seem to be at a loss of words. But I'm looking at these words of the Psalmist and asking the Lord to please apply them to me. I need the covering of the feathers of His wings. I need to abide under His shadow. I need His fellowship just now. I want to trust Him. I need Him to be my shield and to fight my battle because I can't do it without Him.

"Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; (6) Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.  (7)  A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee." (Psalm 91:5-7) I read those verses and from my heart I say, "I need this."  

No matter how much time you think you have to prepare, I find that it isn't enough. You think you have it all planned out as to what will happen next, but then you realize: "I may have planned, but I can't do it without my Lord." So, I say... "Lord, please cover me with your feathers. I want to be under your wings, under your grace, experiencing your power as my shield. Help me, O Lord."

Now, the truth of the matter is found in the first two words of verse four, "HE SHALL..."   So now I say, "Thank you Lord."

Daily Devotion: Enter With Thanksgiving - Psalm 100:1-5

By
One of the most beautiful Psalms of Thanksgiving is the 100th Psalm. Please turn to it and read verses one through five. With all my heart I believe we are a people and a nation that has truly been blessed by God. Of all those who “give thanks to Him and praise His name” we should be at the top!  It is not uncommon to compile wish lists at Christmas, and draw up a list of resolutions for the new year. But there is another list we often overlook - a Thanksgiving Day list of all for which we are thankful. What would your list contain? Most likely, a good part would be material possessions. I’m convinced that we would find that we have much more for which to be thankful than just our material possessions.  Like you, I’m sure my list would include the major things - life, health, family, friends, and the nation we live in, despite all its flaws. But even more than that, I’m thankful for my salvation, my Church family, and the mercy that God showers upon us each d...

Daily Devotion: Colossians 1:25-26

By
Colossians 1:25-26    “Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;  Even   the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:” In verse twenty-four, Paul has expressed his joy in bearing hardship for the church. It is of this church, the body of Jesus Christ, that he is made a minister. Since Paul used the phrase “made a minister” in verse twenty-three of this same chapter, it seems there is something important that he wishes to convey. The Greek word translated as “made” means “to cause to be.” It was the will of God (Col 1:1) that caused Paul to become a minister. God is always the cause of true ministry. Although our fathers may be ministers, if we become true ministers of the gospel it is  not  because our fathers are ministers. True ministers of the gospel do not take that path because they seek honor for themselves, or b...
