God’s Treasured Words

I have not departed from the command of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.
Job 23:12 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/job.23.12.NASB1995

‭But it is still my consolation, And I rejoice in unsparing pain, That I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
Job 6:10 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/job.6.10.NASB1995

‭Please receive instruction from His mouth And establish His words in your heart.

Fulfill God’s Purpose for You

Apr22

Or do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?
How then will the Scriptures be fulfilled, which say that it must happen this way?”
Matthew 26:53-54 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.26.53-54.NASB1995

God’s plan, just like Jesus, may include our own persecution to the death. Everyday, everything, in our day has already been sifted through the hands of God. I often ask myself, “Why are you complaining, worrying, upset? Give it to God and press on.”

I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:14 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/php.3.14.NASB1995

Pressing on we are trusting God to complete His plan in us and through us.

Therefore leaving the elementary teaching about the Christ, let us press on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,
Hebrews 6:1 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/heb.6.1.NASB1995
‭
🌹So let us know, let us press on to know the Lord.
His going forth is as certain as the dawn; And He will come to us like the rain, Like the spring rain watering the earth.”
Hosea 6:3 NASB1995‬

Who is the King of glory?
The Lord strong and mighty, The Lord mighty in battle.

https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.24.8.NASB1995

And they *sang a new song, saying, “Worthy are You to take the book and to break its seals; for You were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.
Revelation 5:9 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/rev.5.9.NASB1995

O fear the Lord, you His saints; For to those who fear Him there is no want.
Psalms 34:9 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.34.9.NASB1995

‭O love the Lord, all you His godly ones! The Lord preserves the faithful And fully recompenses the proud doer.
Psalms 31:23 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.31.23.NASB1995

If the Lord God is ALL, what do I need?

I have want of nothing.
He is all I need.
My . . .
Protector. Provider. Purpose. Praise. Preserver. Providence. Paragon. Paradigm. Parent.

🌹The Lord is my shepherd, I shall (do) not want.

Heavy Devotion

Apr17

For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes. But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.
Matthew 24:7-8 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.24.7-8.NASB1995

How much have we read about, seen, and/or experienced throughout history the fulfillment of the above Scriptures?

Are you keeping an eye on Israel and what’s happening there?

“But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then recognize that her desolation is near.
Luke 21:20 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.21.20.NASB1995

Be alert. Be aware.

But keep on the alert at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are about to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
Luke 21:36 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.21.36.NASB1995

🌹So you also, when you see these things happening, recognize that the kingdom of God is near.
Luke 21:31 NASB1995‬*
https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.21.31.NASB1995

Christians around the world will also be persecuted. All those who stand with Israel.

“Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.
Matthew 24:9 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.24.9.NASB1995

‭‭‭Like Paul, are you ready?

‭Then Paul answered, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but even to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”
Acts 21:13 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/act.21.13.NASB1995

🌹But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.
Matthew 24:13 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.24.13.NASB1995‭

The promised land is on the way for every believer who stands with God against the enemy of righteousness. God’s will be done.

Power to Glorify

Apr16

“Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh; is anything too difficult for Me?”
Jeremiah 32:27 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/jer.32.27.NASB1995

‭All believers have been called. Called through salvation to fulfill the plan of God. The glory in this is that fulfilling God’s plan is not dependent on us. That’s a huge weight lifted off of our shoulders. Before you get too excited though, we do have responsibilities beyond our confession of belief in Jesus Christ:

1. Love the Lord your God – Joshua 23:11
2. Seek His kingdom first – Matthew 6:33
3. Surrender your will to God’s will – Matthew 6:10
4. Obey – Acts 5:29
5. Honor – 1 Corinthians 6:20
6. Follow – ‭1 John 2:6
7. Abide in Him – John 15:4

You can participate in the wonders of God and see His glory as He works through His fully devoted servant – YOU!

If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.
Galatians 5:25 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/gal.5.25.NASB1995

And the disciples were continually filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
Acts 13:52 NASB1995‬

Jeremiah 32:17 NASB1995‬

My Refuge

You are my hiding place; You preserve me from trouble; You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah.
Psalms 32:7 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.32.7.NASB1995

The righteous man will be glad in the Lord and will take refuge in Him; And all the upright in heart will glory.

Psalms 29:11 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.29.11.NASB1995

God’s Majestic Splendor

Apr12

The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.
Psalms 19:1 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.19.1.NASB1995

‭A portion of the world on April 8, 2024 experienced a solar eclipse. What a spectacular event of the power and glory of God, the Creator of the universe.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Genesis 1:1 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/gen.1.1.NASB1995

God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also.
Genesis 1:16 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/gen.1.16.NASB1995

What an awesome sight to see the two great lights pass each other. One event of many fascinations that have been seen since the creation of the world.

For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.
Romans 1:20 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.1.20.NASB1995

🌹O Lord, our Lord, How majestic is Your name in all the earth, Who have displayed Your splendor above the heavens!

God’s Interests or Mine

Apr11

But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me; for you are not setting your mind on God’s interests (the things of God), but man’s.”
Matthew 16:23 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.16.23.NASB1995

‭O, how many times I have been there. How about you? Getting caught up in life, seeking our own way, putting Jesus on the back burner as we strive for the good life when Jesus is the way to the good life.
Jesus made it very clear through three of the Gospels — Matthew, Mark and Luke — what is expected of us who call ourselves His “disciples”.


Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.
Matthew 16:24/Mark 8:34/Luke 9:23
For whoever wishes to save his life (soul) will lose it; but whoever loses his life (soul) for My sake will find it.
Matthew 16:24-25 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.16.24-25.NASB1995

‭The choice is ours everyday. Are you, am I, willing to deny self, take up the cross and follow Jesus?
Is our soul willing?

🌹For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
Matthew 16:26 NASB1995‬

The Alpha and The Omega

Colossians 1:17 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/col.1.17.NASB1995

Before there was an earth, other planets, people, animals, a garden, a flood, breath, life — Jesus existed. That is why He is the beginning and ultimately will be the end of all things as we know it. The Almighty!
‭
“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
Revelation 1:8 NASB1995‬

Revelation 22:13 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/rev.22.13.NASB1995

Jesus says,
‭
Who is like Me? Let him proclaim and declare it; Yes, let him recount it to Me in order, From the time that I established the ancient nation. And let them declare to them the things that are coming And the events that are going to take place.
Isaiah 44:7 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.44.7.NASB1995

‭O Lord, there is none like You, nor is there any God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
1 Chronicles 17:20 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/1ch.17.20.NASB1995

Do you believe? Now is the time to confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of your life. He created you for a purpose. Jesus is offering eternal life without cost to you. Jesus already paid the price. Come. Drink. Live.
‭
🌹Then He said to me, “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to the one who thirsts from the spring of the water of life without cost.
