Daily Devotion: Psalm 104:33-34

By

Psalm 104:33-34    "I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.  (34)  My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD."

Do you remember the feeling when you first fell in love? How often did you think of that person? What was the effect of those thoughts as far as the countenance of your face? How did it make your heart feel? Was there a gladness that overwhelmed you? Did you find yourself singing, whistling, or at the very least humming to yourself?

The writer of this Psalm was in love with the Lord. There is no doubt in my mind that he went around with a song on his lips?  In fact, we know it's true because David wrote most of the Psalms. David was not a perfect man by any stretch of the imagination, but he loved the Lord. You can read any of his writings and see immediately that he loved God. He trusted God. He depended upon God. He relied upon God for his daily activities whether it be shepherd, warrior, or king.  David loved the Lord and it made him glad of heart. He thought about the Lord every single day.

I read these verses and have to look inside myself. How much do I love the Lord?  I honestly cannot remember a time when I did not love Him, but I am afraid there are too many times in my life when I did not show that love as I should have. My meditation of him is truly sweet when I stop to think about all that my Lord does for me every single day. If my meditation takes me back 2000 years to a hill called Calvary, I could never thank God enough and my heart would be swelled with His love for me. If my meditation takes me to all the times God has recovered me from my own messes of life, I could never express the gladness that is in my heart because of Him. If my meditation takes me to that place where I don't feel myself to be in need or any particular thing; yet, I am so glad when the Lord comes to me in my thoughts.

I could go on and on this morning, but I hope each of us can just spend some time today (and everyday) just thinking about the goodness of our Lord. And it will be fine if you find yourself humming, whistling, or singing "Oh! How I love Jesus".

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...

Daily Devotion: Exodus 7:6-10

By
Exodus 7:6-10    "And Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so did they. And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh. And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Shew a miracle for you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent. And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent." Moses and Aaron had begun to doubt whether they were right for the job the LORD had given them. Here, it is evident that God granted them a renewal of their faith. Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them. In my opinion, all truly successful outcomes in our lives begin with this. Moses and Aaron were not young men. Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron was eighty-three years old. Still,...
