Daily Devotion: Proverbs 12:28, Psalm 11:3, Psalm 33:12

By

Proverbs 12:28    "In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death."

Psalm 11:3    "If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?"

Psalm 33:12    "Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance."

What do you see when you read these three verses? What is God saying to you through these words? May I share my thoughts with you? The true foundation of any nation, especially the United States of America, must be the truth of serving and worshipping the One true and living God.  Our laws and our actions should be founded upon the perfect, holy, and righteous will of God. The Word of God should be the standard by which we live each day. We should march under the banner of One Nation under God, indivisible.  If that foundation is destroyed, what right and good things can be accomplished? Our nation is still the most blessed nation in all the world. Though we may not be as vocal as we once were, we still are a nation of God-fearing people. We must not - we cannot - let that foundation be destroyed. If we truly want our nation to return back to the ways of God, then it must begin with me, with you, with each of us walking in the pathway of righteousness. May God be merciful to us and help us to do so.

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: Ephesians 6:21-24

By
Ephesians 6:21-24     “But that ye also may know my affairs,   and   how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things: Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and   that   he might comfort your hearts. Peace   be   to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace   be   with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.” There seems to be a trend in congregations today to worship with one group of people and to socialize with an entirely different group. We don’t want our church family bleeding over into our friends circle and vice versa. This happens because our “Sunday selves” are much different from the way we live the rest of the time. Paul sets a very different precedent here for his relationship with the church. Paul says in effect “I want you to know how I a...

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,...
