James 1:4 No Reason to Hurry 12-04-2024
๐๐จ ๐๐๐๐ฌ๐จ๐ง ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐ซ๐ฒ
This is a high-strung, neurotic, impatient age. We hurry when there is no reason to hurryโjust to be hurrying. This fast-paced age has produced more problems and less morality than previous generations, and it has given all of us jangled nerves. Impatience has produced a new crop of broken homes, or more new ulcers, and has set the stage for more world wars. May my heart be still amid all the turmoil, as I remember Your patience with me, Lord Jesus.

James 1:4 When your patience is finally in full bloom, then you will be ready for anything, strong in character . . .

1 Corinthians 14:1 What About Love? 12-03-2024
๐๐ก๐๐ญ ๐๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐๐จ๐ฏ๐?
What about love? How can you be certain youโre in love? I suggest these simple measures that you can apply to yourself. Is your love patient? Is it considerate? Can it wait until marriage for physical fulfillment? Experience says that true loveโs patience is inexhaustible. True love does not assert itself, claim rights, or demand privileges. It always thinks first of the other person. The biblical phrase is it โis not self-seeking.โ True love never thinks evil of the beloved. It is never suspicious, but always supportive and inspiring. True love bears all things. Nothing weakens or undermines it. It is a rock, an anchor, a foundation for all the years to come.
These simple tests are a mirror that millions have used. Physiologists, psychiatrists, and marriage counselors attest their validity. They were first recommended almost two thousand years ago by a man named Paul, in 1 Corinthians, chapter 13. That chapter provides the finest definition of love the world has received.
Your limitless love causes me to see the narrowness of mine, Lord Jesus. Fill me with Your loving Spirit.

John 11:24 All He Requires 12-02-2024
๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ช๐ฎ๐ข๐ซ๐๐ฌ
If you are a young man or young woman hooked on dissent or despair, ready to split, then lend me your attention. My answer concerns your dreams, and the element in your make-up called โfaith.โ All that God requires of anyone in taking his first step toward Him and toward total self-fulfillment is faithโfaith in His Word, that teaches that God loves you and that you were alienated from Him by sin, that Jesus Christ died on the cross for you, that when you make a personal surrender to Him as Lord and Savior, He can transform you from the inside out.
Your Word, heavenly Father, brings me hope and redemption through Jesus Christโthrusts through the despondencies of life and says You love me!

John 11:40 Jesus responded, โDidnโt I tell you that you would see Godโs glory if you believe?โ

Ephesians 1:7 Just for Love 11-30-2024
๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐
๐จ๐ซ ๐๐จ๐ฏ๐
Think for a moment. Whatโs your motivation for the things that you do? Do you run for your track team because you like running? Or do you run because you have lots of friends that go out for the sport and you want to have fun with them?
In life, there can be many different things that motivate us. Sometimes weโre motivated by peer pressure, money, fear, all different kinds of things. Letโs take a look at what motivated Jesus. Jesus was motivated by love. He loves us, so He gave it all for us. He wanted good things for us, so He gave everything He had so we could get redemption, forgiveness, grace and so much more.
It can be easy to forget with all that is going on in life, how amazing Jesus really is. He gave up everything so we could have it all. He really was motivated by love.

Ephesians 1:7 He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins.

John 10:10 The Sufficiency of God 11-29-2024
๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ข๐๐ข๐๐ง๐๐ฒ ๐จ๐ ๐๐จ๐
In Godโs economy, you must go down into the valley of grief before you can scale the heights of spiritual glory. You must become tired and weary of living alone before you seek and find the fellowship of Christ. You must come to the end of โselfโ before you can begin to live. The happiest day of my life was when I realized that my own ability, my own goodness, and my own morality were insufficient in the sight of God. I am not exaggerating when I say that my mourning was turned to joy, and my sighing into singing. Happy are they that mourn for the inadequacy of self, for they shall be comforted with the sufficiency of God.
Almighty God, You have given me real life through Jesus Christ. My soul praises You.

2 Corinthians 10:5 Realities of Life 11-28-2024
๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐๐ฌ ๐จ๐ ๐๐ข๐๐
Thousands of people have made plans to escape from the realities of life. A new word has come into common usage the last few years. That word is โescapism.โ The dictionary defines it as โa retreat from reality into an imaginary world.โ The escape of imagination. Solomon spoke of the unregenerate heart as one which is inclined to excessive fantasy. The dream world Satan promotes always ends with disillusionment. Thousands of people live in an unreal dream world, while shirking their responsibilities toward their families and toward God. The Bible teaches that with Christ in your heart, you can face the realities of life. Even though they are hard, the grace of God will give you greater joy and pleasure than any dream world to which you try to escape. Lord, so often my thoughts make a wasteland of what You are wanting to plant there. This day let every one of them be captive to Your leading.

2 Corinthians 10:5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

1 Peter 1:8 Enjoy Life 11-26-2024
๐๐ง๐ฃ๐จ๐ฒ ๐๐ข๐๐
Christians are to enjoy life and enjoy one another. When children see no joy in their home, no joy in your Christianity, they will not be attracted by it. When they see you excited about going to a ball game, or watching television, and then dragging around to do spiritual things, they will soon get the idea that Christianity does not mean much to you. Your attitude will rub off. My wife says that the best way to get a child to eat his food is to see his parents enjoying theirs. Our children will not be attracted to Christ if we make Him seem dull. May I live so close to You, Jesus, that those around me will see Your joy.

1 Peter 1:8 Now you are happy with the inexpressible joy that comes from heaven itself.

1 Corinthians 8:6 Whose Son is He? 11-26-2024
๐๐ก๐จ๐ฌ๐ ๐๐จ๐ง ๐๐ฌ ๐๐?
Ultimately, in one way or another, or at one time or another, we shall be faced with this question: What think ye of Christ? Whose Son is He? If Jesus Christ is not who He claimed to be, He is a deceiver, or an egomaniac. We must answer this question with both belief and action. We must not only believe something about Jesus, but we must do something about Him. We must accept Him, or reject Him.
Jesus made clear who He was, and why He came into the world. He asked His disciples, โWhom do men say that I, the Son of man, am?โ They told Him of a variety of designations on the human level. Then Jesus turned to them and asked, โBut whom say ye that I am?โ Whereupon Peter replied with his historic affirmation, โThou art the Christ, the Son of the living Godโ (Matthew 16:13-16).
This is the apex of faith. This is the pinnacle of belief. This is where the faith of each must rest if he hopes for salvation. Christ is inescapable! You, too, must decide, โWhat shall I do with Christ?โ
************
1 Corinthians 8:6 Yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.

Psalm 118:1 Being Greateful in Word and Deed 11-25-2024
๐๐๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ญ๐๐๐ฎ๐ฅ ๐ข๐ง ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐๐
This year as we observe our season of thanksgiving, let us be grateful not only in word but also in deed. Let our gratitude find expression in a resolve to live a life more unselfish and more consecrated to Jesus Christ. When we sit around our tables laden with sumptuous delicacies, let us not forget that half the world will go to bed hungry. As we enjoy the comforts of our cozy homes, let us not forget that great numbers in other parts of the world have no homes to go to.
When we step into our sleek automobiles, let us not forget that most of the people in the world cannot afford even a bicycle. In the Lordโs Prayer as recorded in the sixth chapter of Matthew, we read, โGive us this day our daily bread.โ Scripture teaches that the good things of this life are the gifts of God, and that He is the donor of all our blessings. Thanksgiving? Yes. Let us get on our knees humbly and thank God for the blessings He has given us, both material and spiritual. They have come from His hands. You bring me such abundance, almighty God. As I think of Thanksgiving Day, may my heart be completely consecrated to Your Son, Jesus Christ, so that through Him my life will show my gratitude to You.
