Daily Devotion: Proverbs 25:3

By

Proverbs 25:3    "The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable."

We just read yesterday in verse 2, "It is the glory of God to conceal a thing." Today's verse is in relation to that second verse. It is God's glory to conceal the height of heaven and the depth of the earth. It is an honorable thing to try to search it out, but we shall never know the depth of those two truths. Man can guess as to what is at the absolute core of the earth, but God knows. Man has been able to explore great heights of the heavens, but God knows exactly how far they reach.  It is an honorable thing, but man must never come to the place where he thinks he knows as much as God. Remember, that's what got us in trouble at the beginning. Satan said to Eve, "God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods..." (Genesis 3:5)  My thought for today, and every day, is this: How great is our God? We have no idea as to the expanse of the universe, but this we do know - OUR GOD IS BIGGER AND GREATER! We serve the Almighty God. Nothing is too hard for our God.  In my thoughts, God did the hardest thing of all when He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to die for this sinner.  I can never thank Him enough!!

Daily Devotion: Psalm 88:1-4

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...
