Son of The Most High

Dec3

In yesterday’s devotion Mary was told by an angel that God had chosen her for a special assignment (blessing). She would be the mother of Jesus.

He (Jesus) will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David; and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and His kingdom will have no end.”

Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I am a virgin?”
Luke 1:32-34 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.1.32-34.NASB1995

I found this a little amusing but so typical of the lives we live. Here is Mary being told that she will bear the King of kings; the Lord of Lords; the Son of the Most High and she says,  “How can this be, since I am a virgin?” Self focused. Self concerned.
Have you been there? I have. God calls us to something and we cannot fathom the calling so we look inward at ourselves instead of what an amazing God we have who can do anything through us. Just look at what he did through Mary.

This Christmas season let us turn our focus to the One who came to save. The One who is worthy of our utmost reverence and adoration. Jesus.

🌹Glory to His name.

The Coming Reign

Aug27

Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. The farmer waits for the precious produce of the soil, being patient about it, until it gets the early and late rains. You too be patient; strengthen your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near.
James 5:7-8 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.5.7-8.NASB1995

With patience, let us prepare our hearts for the day of harvest when we will reap – see those we shared with, those we prayed for – before the throne of God. Do not grow weary.

Let us continue to sow the seed of righteousness as we follow Jesus.

Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.
Galatians 6:9 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/gal.6.9.NASB1995

🙏Lord God, help us to know You deeply and to walk in expectation of Your return, without neglecting the coming harvest of souls awaiting Your reign.

So rejoice, O sons of Zion, And be glad in the Lord your God; For He has given you the early rain for your vindication. And He has poured down for you the rain, The early and latter rain as before.
Joel 2:23 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jol.2.23.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

Jesus, Governor of All

Dec8

And the government will rest (be) on His shoulders;
Isaiah‬ ‭9:6‬b ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.9.6.NASB1995

‭‭There are many who govern. Some govern institutions, some townships, some cities, some countries, some their homes, and most everyone would say they govern their own lives.
Ultimately Jesus is the Govenor of all.

And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
Matthew‬ ‭28:18‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.28.18.NASB1995

Since Jesus has all authority doesn’t it make sense to surrender to His will? His way? His purpose? Under His governing power we are loved, safe, cherished, protected, blessed and so much more.

You are either with Him or against Him. The choice is yours. Won’t you surrender to God’s will? Today? The alternative is not pretty.

For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet.
1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:25‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Road to Triumph Pt. 2

Mar28

While they were listening to these things, Jesus went on to tell a parable, because He was near Jerusalem, and they supposed that the kingdom of God was going to appear immediately. So He said, “A nobleman went to a distant country to receive a kingdom for himself, and then return. And he called ten of his slaves, and gave them ten minas and said to them, ‘Do business with this until I come back.’ But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We do not want this man to reign over us.’
But these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them in my presence.’ ”
Luke 19:11‭-‬14‭, ‬27 NASB

Does King Jesus have reign over you, your life? One day He will return. Will He find you obediently serving His will and purpose?
When I ask myself these questions, I am drawn to the cross. What my King Jesus Christ did for me on the cross humbles me to bow before my reigning King.

🌹Reign in me, Lord Jesus. Help me to serve You faithfully until Your return.

Continually Seeking Him,
