Daily Devotion: Psalm 32:8

By

Psalm 32:8     "I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye."

 I want to first say that I am beyond thankful that our Lord watches over us. We just spent three days in an area that has such wonderful beauty. Some of it goes beyond anything I have ever seen. All of the area demands an awesome wonder at the manner in which our Lord spoke this universe into existence. I'm so thankful for the experience.

 Since we left home, we have tried to pray each day for the Lord's guidance and protection over us. It is the longest and farthest trip we have taken. On our last evening there, we learned something about the area. The crime rate is six times higher than the national average. I'm thankful we learned that on our last evening.  I am thankful (I can't use that word enough) for our Lord's watchful eye.  I want to say in that place where we spent those three days, some people looked at us suspiciously. But thank God there were some who were so very nice to us and made us feel welcomed. God has a people in every place. We pray for the Lord's protection over those sweet ones.

 In conclusion, we thought about cutting that stay shorter, but we felt strongly about staying the extra day. God had planned a special time for us when we met a super nice guide and, for me, we saw one of the great wonders of this earth. Such natural beauty as I've ever seen. We believe Psalm 32:8 when God says,  "I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye." He guides us into beautiful places.

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...

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...
