Think on These Things...

Suffering can make you BITTER or BETTER. Which will you choose? 

Today's Devotional

Psalm 145:14 -The Lord upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down.      

 

Though you fall, you will rise again. Those whose backs are bowed with burdens He will raise. Those who fall He will uphold. He does not discriminate. ALL that fall will be upheld. ALL that are burdened will be raised up. He will keep you from falling.

Psalm 37:22, 23 - The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.

Proverbs 19:17 - He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord…

When you help those who are in need, you are lending to the Lord. It was Jesus you helped through that financial rough spot. It was Jesus you helped when volunteering your time and energy to others less fortunate. The opposite is also true. It was Christ you passed without even a backward glance. It was the Lord you were too busy to help. Remember that all we do to help others is not for others, but lending to the Lord what He has lent us.

Matthew 25:35-40 - For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

Don't worry about tomorrow. Don't worry about yesterday. That's God's business.  

Today's Devotional

Psalm 89:18 - For the Lord is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.

The Lord is our defense. We need not fear the arrow by day, for the holy King of Israel is our shield. While some trust in chariots, we will trust in the strong tower of our Lord. Our hearts will not fail us for fear, for we are covered by the blood. Fear is no longer an option for a child of the King.  Today, be strong in the Lord, and fear not, for He goes before you. 

Proverbs 18:10 - The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.

Notice

I really do apologize for not posting these last few days. I have started in a new school and the change of routine and work has been stressful. I will return in full force next week with at least one devotional the remainder of this week. Again, my apologies. God bless.

Today's Devotional

Luke 7:23 - And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
Jesus promises a blessing for all those who are not offended by Him. This blessing is for those who wear their Christianity on their sleeves and are not ashamed of the gospel. Are we this bold in the cause of Christ? Do we share His love with all we meet? Or are we secret Christians ashamed of the gospel?
Let this verse by our motto: Romans 1:16 -  For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
