Daily Devotion: Psalm 119:105

By

Psalm 119:105    "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path."

Proverbs 3:5-6    "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.  (6)  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."

John 14:6    "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

I hope to be able to connect all three passages to make sense. If I ask ten people what is the purpose of the Bible, I would probably receive several different answers. And most, if not all, of those answers would contain some truth. Paul gave the answer in his 2nd letter to Timothy, chapter 3:16-17, "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works." Notice in all of our Scripture for today that there is one source that is referenced: The Lord.  "Thy word... Trust in the LORD.... Jesus saith.... given by inspiration of God" This tells me that my first point in reading the Bible is to understand that although God inspired men to pen the words, they are indeed the very Word of God. When I am reading the Bible, God Himself is speaking to me. His Word illuminates my life and when applied will navigate me through every situation and circumstance. The Word of God will show me my errors and then instruct me as to how to correct them. He will then place me back on the right path that I may experience righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. But most of all the Word of God points me to Jesus. God does not leave me in the place where only my sins are revealed; rather, He shows me that Jesus Christ made the complete blood atonement for my sins. They are washed away by the blood of Jesus Christ. My sins are forgiven. I have peace with God through Jesus Christ, my Lord. Thank you Father for giving me enlightenment concerning the work of my blessed Lord.

1 More about Jesus would I know,
more of His grace to others show;
more of His saving fullness see,
more of His love who died for me.

Refrain:
More, more about Jesus;
more, more about Jesus;
more of His saving fullness see,
more of His love who died for me.

2 More about Jesus let me learn,
more of His holy will discern.
Spirit of God, my Teacher be,
showing the things of Christ to me. [Refrain]

3 More about Jesus in His Word,
holding communion with my Lord,
hearing His voice in ev'ry line,
making each faithful saying mine. [Refrain]

4 More about Jesus on His throne,
riches in glory all His own;
more of His kingdom's sure increase;
more of His coming, Prince of Peace. [Refrain]

Daily Devotion: Psalm 88:1-4

By
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...
