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.” …
(Matthew 11:19)…..”The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, `Look, a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ Jesus had trouble with the religious leaders of His day, because He was a friend of sinners. Jesus is the same today. He never changes. Jesus is your friend.
What does (Luke 19:7) tell us? But when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, “He has gone to be a guest with a man who is a sinner.”
Religious people couldn’t understand how Jesus …
(Psalm 57:4-6)…..I am in the midst of lions; I am forced to dwell among ravenous beasts – men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords. 5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth. 6 They spread a net for my feet – I was bowed down in distress. They dug a pit in my path – but they have fallen into it themselves.
Let’s start this morning by reading in (1 Samuel 16:4-13) (1 Samuel 18:1-16). It …
