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.

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...
