God knows those who are His. He knows if we belong to Him or not. He knows all of our thoughts, all of our past, all of our hopes, all of our ambitions. The truth be told, He knows us better than we know ourselves. We do not need to worry that our Father in heaven will ever stop loving us (Romans 8:37-39) because He knows each of us personally, as a father knows his own child (John 10:14). King David understood this (Psalm 139:1-4)
Think about this, what has …
(Psalm 92:5)…..O Lord, how great are Your works! Your thoughts are very deep.
(Isaiah 55:8-9)…..“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts. God does not always do what we think He should, and I am grateful for that.
God’s word tells us that the Gospel is the “power of God,” (Romans 1:16)….for it is the power of God.…The word “power” comes from a word that refers to the “might – energy – strength that dwell within God.” From it comes the english word “dynamite.” When God takes a lost sinner and saves him by His grace and makes him a new creature (creation) that is a powerful thing. So powerful, so explosive is the power of the gospel, that no flesh and bone can remain unaffected by it …
(Proverbs 1:7)…..”The fear of the Lord” is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction. The “fear of the Lord” will cause one to hate evil – (Proverbs 8:13). The “fear of the Lord” will prolong life – (Proverbs 10:27). The “fear of the Lord” provides strong confidence and is a fountain of life – (Proverbs 14:26-27). The “fear of the Lord” prompts one to depart from evil – (Proverbs 16:6). The “fear of the Lord” leads to a satisfying life, and spares one …
(Acts 1:11)…..This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.”
I am back, computer is fixed, and I get to do my devotions again. Hope you are enjoying them. I thought that a good place to start on March 1st, 2022 would be the topic Of Christ’s return. Are you looking forward to Jesus’ return. Jesus of Nazareth, was born into this world by the work and will of the pre-existent, eternal, Creator God, and Mary …
(Psalm 119:89)…..Forever, O Lord, Your word is settled in heaven.
Heaven is not running around trying to figure out the will of God. His Word is settled in Heaven. God surely had enough time before the Bible was written down to make any changes in His plans. Now that He has given His Word, He will keep it and see that it comes to pass. That’s His promise to us. (Mark 13:31)…..”Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.” And in (Isaiah 40:8) …
“God is the Rock of my salvation.” That title occurs several times in the Old Testament (Deuteronomy 32:15) (2 Samuel 22:47) (Psalm 89:26) and in our text (Psalm 95:1)(Psalm 62:6-7) (Psalm 121:1-4). In each case the expression evokes a sense of security. God is secure, and is trustworthy, He is the rock-solid Savior
So it’s with this invitation that the Psalmist would imply – “Let us greet our God” – let us come to Him with a joyful shout – Whose power has been manifested in the deliverance of His …
By a lack of what? By lack of knowledge! Just let that sink in for a moment as you are sitting down to read this devotion. How can that happen. Maybe we lack knowledge because we are lazy, maybe its because we are to busy, maybe it is because we just don’t care if we have knowledge or not. People are destroyed for lack of knowledge, even God’s people. What kind of knowledge? The knowledge of God’s word that is available in the Bible. Such things as who God is, what He …
(Matthew 10:22-25)…..And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved. 23 When they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For assuredly, I say to you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes. 24 “A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. 25 It is enough for a disciple that he be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If they …
God speaks to us loudly through His creation, and in it He reveals His glory and His handiwork (Psalm 19:1-4). It also reveals His eternal power and divine nature (Romans 1:19-20). Through the intelligent design of the universe God says, “I exist!” How well do we listen? Do we take the time to consider the wonders of the creation? The Psalmist took time to contemplate them (Psalm 8:3) (Psalm 104:24-25) (Psalm 139:14). It prompted Einstein to believe in “an Intelligence that produced the integrative complexity of creation.” …
