Daily Devotions: Philippians 4:19 (2)

By

Philippians 4:19    "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus."

Yesterday, we established the importance of having a relationship with our Lord.  He is "my God " and I love Him and I trust Him because of my interaction with Him and my experience of His providing grace through all my life.  He has never failed me; therefore my confidence level in Him is at the very highest.

 My confidence in my Lord assures me of the truth of today's verse. He "shall supply all my need." I confess there are wants for which I have asked the Lord. He doesn't always give me "my wants" and I can be thankful for that. But, He has always provided everything that I need in order to live a prosperous life in Him. I think of the Apostle Paul seeking the help of God in removing something that he struggled with. God would not remove it, but He did supply Paul's need. What was that need? The Lord said, "My grace is sufficient for thee.". The greatest need we have in our life is God's mercy and grace.

 How great is the supply of that grace? He tells us it is given to us "according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus " That tells me that His grace is an unending supply. It is the well that never runs dry. We never have to fear that His grace will ever fail in our lives. Trust Him. Lean upon Him. Look to Him for every need you have. He will supply.

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: Psalm 100:4-5 - Thanksgiving

By
Psalm 100:4-5     "Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.  (5)  For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations." Many songs have been written about these verses and with these words included. What do they mean? Today, we celebrate the holiday of Thanksgiving. I've listened to many people speak about their family traditions and most of them include family, food, and football. These are wonderful and fun things that enrich the day, but is it the true meaning that was intended when the day was established?  The Psalmist instructed us to include a special action with our words of thankfulness.  We are to "enter into HIS gates." The heartfelt words of thanksgiving allow us to enter the gates of the Lord, but there is a much deeper place into which we can go. Not only are we to enter into HIS gates, but He invites us to come much closer to H...
