Daily Devotion: Psalm 135:13

By

Psalm 135:13   "Thy name, O LORD, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations."

This morning's devotion is a very simple one; yet, one that bears importance in our lives today. The principle of today's devotion is repeated throughout the Word of God.
(Malachi 3:6)    "For I am the LORD, I change not"
(Hebrews 13:8)    "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever." 

These are only two of the passages that declare God does not and never will change. The God of Whom we read in the Bible from thousands of years ago, is the very same today as when He created this universe.  He is the same as when He opened the way for the children of Israel to go through the Red Sea.  As He provided for the people of Israel, He still provides for us today.  As He defeated the giants of the land and the giant against whom David went, God will help us defeat the giants that rise up against us today. We all have giants that are either real or imagined that prevent us from entering into the fullness of the joy of the Lord.  He has so many blessings in store for us, but we somehow have either diminished our view of the power of God or we have become diminished in our faith to step out and follow Him.  We ask for signs and things which we think will affirm our faith is legitimate, when in reality God has given us faith to believe He is and He is the provider of all blessings. We are to simply follow Him.

"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." (Hebrews 11:6)  The entire 11th chapter of Hebrews speaks of those saints of God who simply believed God and walked with Him. So as we think of all the saints who walked with God and went against human logic and against all enemies that came against them, we can be assured by today's verse that God is still the same for us today.  "Thy name, O LORD, endureth forever."  He changes not. He is the same yesteray, and to day, and for ever.  So my question to myself this morning would be this, Since God doesn't change, and His grace, power, and glory is sufficient for every need, why is my faith so small?

Daily Devotion: Psalm 88:1-4

By
Psalm 88:1-4  A Song or Psalm for the sons of Korah, to the chief Musician upon Mahalath Leannoth, Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite. "O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee:  (2)  Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;  (3)  For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.  (4)  I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength" I've said this before and I will say it again (and probably more times before we get to the end of the Psalms) - I love the Psalms because I can surely identify with them. Most Psalms start in a low place and as the writer expresses his thoughts, the Lord begins to lift him up out of that dry place.  Though this entire Psalm is a fervent cry unto the Lord, the Psalmist tells us specifically in three verses that he cried daily unto the Lord. Just a few Psalms ago, we were reminded that God always hears our prayers. ...

Daily Devotion: Knowing God By Bearing Fruit

By
Some will notice the title is not “Bearing fruit because we know God,” so to avoid getting sidetracked with that, we can start with the fact that we won’t bear any godly fruit unless our heart has been changed and the Holy Spirit dwells within us. Also, to avoid confusion, I’ll be using the terms “bearing fruit,” “good works” and “service” interchangeably.  I took this article’s title from Part 7, of John Piper’s “Look at the Book” session on Colossians 1:9-12. I greatly encourage you to view that short video to get his excellent exposition on this subject.  When I saw the title of the video earlier this year, I got kind of excited because that’s the direction my thinking has gone in the past several years. My thinking was founded Biblically with verses on good works like Matthew 5:16 – “In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father, who is in heaven.” But I couldn’t expand it to expla...
