Devotion - May 20, 2013

When the Counselor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me. And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning.

John 15:26-27


Have you ever tried to figure out God? Don’t. It’ll blow your mind. One God yet three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – is that immense.

But God doesn’t expect you or even want you to figure him out. He just wants you to know who he is. And when you know who he is, he wants you to tell others so that they know who God is too. God is that important.

Prayer: 

Dear God, thank you for revealing to me the truth of who you are. Thank you for being my Savior. May others know the same. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Devotion - May 17, 2013

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet: all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas. O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Psalm 8:3-9

For those days when you feel like a big, important person, remember the cue ball on a pool table.

Our God is big enough to play billiards with the planets. If he did, earth would feel smoother to God than a cue ball feels to us. If Mt. Everest wouldn't even show up as bumps on God's galactic cue ball, how big of an impression can we human beings make?

Prayer: 

Jesus, remind me every day you thought I was important enough to die for. Keep me in your care always. Amen.

Devotion - May 16, 2013

O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.

Psalm 8:1-2


Are you smarter than a first grader?

We look at the wonders of the cosmos.  It is estimated that there are more stars in the universe (1022)1  than grains of sand in our world (7.5 X 1018)2 . 

We look at the wonder of our bodies – 50 trillion cells able to fight infection, create music, run for miles and miles, or cradle a child in arms. 

These wonders impress us as adults.

Prayer: 

Jesus, thank you for loving me to death, even death on a cross.  Thank you for forgiving my sins.  Keep my heart and my life focused on your greatest glory – your love for me. Amen.

Devotion - May 15, 2013

During the night Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and begging him, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.”

Acts 16:9


How long will eternity last?

Seriously, stop and think about that question.

When you think about it, it's mind-boggling. The hymn "Amazing Grace" reads, "When we've been there 10,000 years, bright shining as the sun, we've no less days to sing God's praise, then when we'd first begun." And that's true! Eternity will go on and on and on and on and ..., well, you get the picture.

Prayer: 

Lord Jesus, thank you for "helping" me, leading me to trust that you have saved me. Fill me with appreciation! And lead me to be one who can "help" others to know you. Amen.
