Daily Devotion: Psalm 136:1

By

Psalm 136:1    "O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever."

These words are repeated seven times in the book of the Psalms. The number, 7, is the complete number which tells me that God's mercy is perfect. His mercy is the characteristic that activates all other actions toward us. Seven times we are told that His mercy never fails. Jeremiah writes in the book of Lamentations that His mercies are new every morning. His compassion fails not. "They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness." (Lamentations 3:23) We are entering the week that is set aside as a time of giving Thanks unto the Lord. I know some have been listing things they are thankful for since the beginning of the month, but especially this week, I want to take time every day to give thanks unto the Lord. Yes, I know every day is a day to give thanks, but can we give a concerted effort this week to express His goodness and mercy and how much it means to us? I want to do that with a zeal and fervor. "O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever."

Daily Devotion: Colossians 1:25-26

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: 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,...
