Daily Devotion: Exodus 15:11-13

Exodus 15:11-13     "Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them. Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation." 

We find the question above posed throughout the scriptures in various circumstances. It is one we do well to consider in our daily life. Who is like the LORD unto us. The obvious answer should be that there is no one and nothing that is like the LORD. Yet, we will eventually find the children of Israel making strange gods for themselves. This begs the question, have we made gods for ourselves?

God is glorious in His holiness (1 Samuel 2:2). There is no corruption found in Him, and His will is right. He is worthy of our reverential hymns. He deserves to have songs written about Him and sung to Him. Only God created the heavens and the earth and the fullness thereof. Only God can create in us a clean heart (Psalms 51:10).

The LORD has only to stretch forth His hand and our enemies are swallowed up. When we are alone and afraid, it only takes a whisper from the Holy Spirit to calm our fears. In great turmoil, it only takes a glimpse of His presence to bring us deep peace. In our heaviest sorrows, His love can lift us up in hope.

Dear ones, there is none like the LORD. He has redeemed us from bondage and delivered us from the law of sin and death. He has led us about by His unfailing mercy so that we might worship Him. It is by His strength alone that we can enter His holy habitation. Let us lift our voices in His praise!

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: Enter With Thanksgiving - Psalm 100:1-5

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...
