Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.    Matthew 4:4

LWF - The Greater Miracle

The Greater Miracle

BIBLE MEDITATION:
“I, even I, am the LORD; and beside Me there is no Savior.” Isaiah 43:11

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
It takes more of God’s power to save a soul through the cross of Jesus than it does to do any other thing. God had no difficulty creating the universe. The Bible tells us He spoke and it was so. But when God wrote salvation’s story, He went to great difficulty. Let me illustrate.

What if I held a service and had the power to straighten a cripple’s legs or to bring sight to the blind? The next service would be standing room only. Now I certainly want God to heal, but let me suggest a different scene. What if I held a service and a little girl walked down the aisle and gave her heart to Jesus? That is a greater miracle than opening the eyes of the blind, because the Son of God had to hang on a cross in agony and blood to purchase her salvation! Jesus did not come as a great healer or teacher, He came as a Savior.
ACTION POINT:
Ask God today to give you the heavenly view—for the angels in heaven rejoice each time one lost person receives eternal life. This is the greatest miracle.

Daily Bible Quote - Timothy 2:15

LWF - Faithfulness, Not Miracles

Faithfulness, Not Miracles

BIBLE MEDITATION:
 “Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.” Matthew 24:45-46

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
It is sinful for us to ask God to prove Himself by a miracle or sign, though I guess we have all done it.

When I was at Stetson University as a young boy having my quiet time in the prayer room, I asked God to move a chair from one side of the room to the other. I told him, “I already believe You and I don’t want to insult You, but what a confirmation it would be to my heart and life if You would just do this small miracle.” Isn’t that dumb?

I am so glad that God didn’t let the devil nudge that chair across that room and get me hooked on some kind of hocus-pocus. Jesus said that asking God for a sign, like this, is evidence of an evil, adulterous heart (see Matthew 12:39). Oh, that God would find us not looking for miracles but faithful in all we do in His name.
ACTION POINT:
Singer/songwriter Steve Green has sung, “May all who come behind us find us faithful.” Are those coming behind you looking ahead and finding an example in you? Are you faithful?

LWF - Complete Payment for Your Sin

Complete Payment for Your Sin

BIBLE MEDITATION:
“Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in His blood, to declare His righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God.” Romans 3:25

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
Propitiation is a big word that means satisfaction. Because God is a holy God, His anger and justice burns against sin. And He has sworn that sin will be punished.

There must be a satisfactory payment for sin.  But God said, “If I punish man for his sin, man will die and go to hell. On the other hand, if I don’t punish man for his sin, My justice will never be satisfied.”

The solution? God said that He would become our substitute. He would take the sin of mankind upon Himself in agony and blood – a righteous judgment and substitute for sin.

His wrath burned out on the cross when His only Son died as man’s propitiation for sin. And this is love (see 1 John 4:10).

ACTION POINT:
Question: What can you bring Jesus today to repay Him for what He has done for you? Answer: Nothing could suffice. But “Love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my ALL!”

Today's Prayer - Jan 23, 2015

Today’s Prayer | From CALLED Magazine

Father, help us understand Your will. – Sometimes it's hard to know which way to go, and what to do. – But please make Your voice clear, so we can follow You.

~In Jesus' Name, Amen

Happy Birthday JESUS

This is a few days late due because I haven't had much time to share. But it's always good to reflect on Jesus and our celebrations.

There are some who question the Christmas celebration of Jesus' birth, claiming that it's wrong to do so.

The Bible mentions birthdays twice. One: The Pharaoh had a birthday celebration at the time of Joseph, Genesis 40:20: "Now it came to pass on the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast for all his servants." And Two: Herod had a birthday celebration, Matthew 14:7, "But when Herod's birthday was celebrated, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod."



Celebrating birthdays doesn't appear to be wrong - the Bible doesn't seem to ban them. The real problem is when the focus of the season shifts away from who Jesus is in our lives and what He has done for mankind to our own greed and self-gratification. Remember it's Happy Birthday JESUS and he is our Lord and Savior.
