Bond Servant of Jesus

Bond Servant of Jesus

Bible Reading Prayer Devotional I am intrigued by the concept of the bond servant in the Old Testament. A slave who would enjoy serving his master so much that he would willingly submit to being a slave to his master the rest of his life (Exodus 21:6). Of course, there was a little incentive if […]

Morning by Morning

Bible Reading Devotional and Prayer  What is God’s plan for today? When God said in Rom 8:28-29 that He “works everything out for our good,” how do you picture Him doing that? In Exodus 14:4 we see how God planned to do that for Israel. Here’s what God told Moses, “Once again I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, […]

Trusting God’s Path

Trusting God’s Path

Bible Reading Devotional I don’t know about you, but I am way too quick to forget how good God is when I am facing a challenging situation. For me, those most often come in relation to money. God has been so faithful and has always provided. And yet, when we have a low month, or two, or three… […]

God’s Unwilling Instrument

God’s Unwilling Instrument

Bible Reading Exodus 6 Devotional I don’t think I have ever noticed how many times Moses told God “no.” Reading through Exodus 3-6 I count 8 verses where Moses either directly said “no” to God, or insuated that he didn’t want to obey. (Ex 3:11, 15; Exodus 4:1, 10, 13: Exodus 5:23; Exodus 6:12, 30) […]

Abundant Life

Abundant Life

Bible Reading Devotional: Have you ever noticed how different it is to pursue our own pleasures compared to pursuing the pleasure of God? When we pursue our own pleasure, it never satisfies. There is always something more, something better. But, when we give up our own desires and pleasures, there is so much more peace in our life. Have […]

(60) God Speaking Through You

(60) God Speaking Through You

The Preface: When you think about witnessing and sharing your faith, what do you picture? Often I picture trying to start a conversation, then having the person say something that I can’t defend, then feeling stupid. Is that how you picture it? Why are we so afraid? Or, what about having a difficult conversation with […]

He Could Come Today!

He Could Come Today!

Are you living as if Jesus could come back today? Jesus asked the same question in Matthew 24:36-50. In Matt 24:44-50 Jesus tells a story about a master who leaves his house in the hands of his servants, then goes away for a while. The servants don’t know when the master will return. Jesus asks […]

Expecting God to show up

Expecting God to show up

Bible Reading: Oswald Chambers said this morning, “Do not look for God to come in any particular way, but look for Him… Keep your life in constant contact with God… Always be in a state of expectancy for God to show up. What distracts us from living with this attitude? Being in constant contact with God, dwelling […]

Extravagant Love for Jesus

Extravagant Love for Jesus

Remember those early days of dating, when all you could think about was each other? You would go out of the way to spend time together. I road a bicycle like 5 miles, to the nearest pay phone, as often as I could, just to hear the sound of her voice. (This was before email, […]
