DO ALL FOR GOD’S GLORY! So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. —I Corinthians 10:31 His glory is to be our focus. Whatever we do, whatever we say should be to bring honor and glory to the Lord. His Name is to be honored above all. How will you and I bring honor and glory to His Name today? May we do so! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKTqwBetI1I Dear Father, You are above all. You are awesome in all You are and in all You do. May I honor Your Name as I walk through today. May it be so in the power…

LIGHT & DARKNESS I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you. —Psalm 139:11-12 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day. —Genesis 1:3-5 As I write this it is dark out. I cannot see beyond my window. The trees are there,…

HE LOVES! His love endures forever. —Psalm 136 His love is seen in the heavens He made. His love is seen throughout the earth He created. His love is seen in the sun, moon and stars. His love is seen in judgments. His love is seen in protection. His love is seen in the miracle of the Red Sea dividing. His love is seen in guidance. His love is seen in inheritance. His love is seen in daily food for all His creatures. His love for us is seen in so many ways. His love is all around us and in all our circumstances. Do you see it? Do you…

HE GIVES LIFE AND ALL Yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live. —I Corinthians 8:6 All things come from God and our very life is from Him. “If you live to be 80 years old, your heart would have beaten approximately 3,363,840,000 times! That’s over 3 billion heartbeats! What a muscle!” In that same 80 years you would take about 672,768,000 breaths! His design for our bodies is a marvel and he has a special design for every heart-beating,…

BLESSED Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their opponents in court. —Psalm 127:3-5 May you live to see your children’s children— peace be on Israel. —Psalm 128:6 I am truly blessed with the legacy God has and is giving me. My children are from the Lord and I will readily acknowledge that. They each are a blessing and I am grateful to God for them. The Lord has also…

DON’T JUDGE ME! If any of you has a dispute with another, do you dare to take it before the ungodly for judgment instead of before the Lord’s people? Or do you not know that the Lord’s people will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases? Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life! Therefore, if you have disputes about such matters, do you ask for a ruling from those whose way of life is scorned in the church? I say this to shame you. Is it possible that…

My Hope You are my refuge and my shield; I have put my hope in your word. —Psalm 119:114 I am so glad that our Lord is always there for us. He is our safe haven, our sanctuary, our shelter, our protection, our harbor, our retreat… What better shield is there than our God? So let us take that shield of faith and stand firm in our God. Let nothing move us from Him. Cling to Him, abide in Him and trust Him. Whose word are you putting your hope in? I will put my hope in His Word. My trust will be in what He says above all others.…

MILK AND SOLID FOOD Brothers and sisters, I could not address you as people who live by the Spirit but as people who are still worldly—mere infants in Christ. I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready. You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere humans? For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere human beings? —I Corinthians 3:1-4 The apostle Paul is addressing Corinthian Christians but he says they “are still worldly—mere infants…

THE WORLD THINKS THIS FOOLISH The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. —I Corinthians 2:14 A number of businesses allow me to put a display of the Lamb pamphlet in a prominent place. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZD6khv6pGkw&t=15s People who desire to take a copy can do that and read it at their leisure. From time to time I check the displays to replenish them. One time when I was refilling them I found one that somebody had written on. It said, “A person would have to be…

TRUST HIM! They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord. —Psalm 112:7 You who fear him, trust in the Lord— he is their help and shield. —Psalm 115:11 If we are truly trusting in the Lord for all things then we will not even fear bad news. Unfortunately, sometimes when bad news comes we get distracted by it from remembering Who we trust. That is when we have to get refocused and immediately direct our trust in the Lord. He alone is our “help and shield.” Bad new comes in all types of forms in this fallen world— a death, sickness, loss…
