Heaven is only for those who said, “Thy will be done.” Hell is only for those who said, “my will be done.” How often do we insist on our own will being done? How many Americans will be in heaven? (“I did it MY way”) Ps. 139:23, “Search me, O God, and know my heart; […]
Good morning everyone, Matthew 18:4-Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. I’ve learned from my 3 small children something very important that I don’t think any wisdom from experiences or education has taught me. I’ve learned from them how to trust God like a child again as an […]
Nothing happens without God willing it to happen. I know that brings up all kinds of questions. But having it the other way (things happening without God being in control) brings up just as many questions. When I was younger, God being in absolute control of my life felt like bondage and loss of freedom. […]
No one knows the trials and sufferings we may go through that will really put our faith to the test. I’d like to think that my relationship with God is rock solid and that I will hold on till the very end, but on what basis am I making this claim? Because I go to […]
Good afternoon everyone, Exodus 13:17-18-When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them on the road through the Philistine country, though that was shorter. For God said, "If they face war, they might change their minds and return to Egypt." Throughout my walk with God there have been times where I was really […]
Sorry for the lateness of this devotional. I got to spend time with my girls today unexpectedly =) Ps. 136:1, “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever.” That second sentence, “His love endures forever,” is repeated 25 times in this chapter! It’s pretty obvious that the psalmist thought that […]
Good morning everyone, Isaiah 55:1-"Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. This devotion comes from a book I have been reading that talks about the discipline needed for a genuine godly relationship. He pinpoints […]
I just meditated on one simple sentence this morning: “God died for me.” Thought 1: For God to die for my sins, my sins must be truly horrendous – a lot more than I can imagine! So often, I do not think my sins are really big deal, that everyone else does the same anyway. […]
As I was helping my sister with her homework last night, I noticed that some of the problems she had to do were multiple-choice. I suggested that when she has to solve a multiple-choice problem but can’t quite figure out the solution, she should try getting the answer by going through each one individually and […]
Good morning everyone, 1 Peter 4:8-Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. I admit that when I used to read in the Bible about God’s holiness and how much He hates sin, I used to wander why I don’t have the hate of sin the way God hates […]
