Jonah Had a Bad Attitude…
•
I do not want to have a bad attitude towards God and people. Jonah had unforgiveness towards the enemy of his people and hoped their city would be destroyed by God. Jonah knew that God forgives people who repent, turn away from their sin, and turn towards God instead. Jonah…

God Delights in Our Prayers…

We pray for our enemies as we would want to be prayed for. Lord God Almighty, create within us a wise and loving heart. Help us be quick to praise You in all of our circumstances. Help us pray in truth and Spirit for people who do not seek to…

Jeremiah 29:11 His Plans are Good
•
An Unusual Word… Have you ever gotten an unusual Word from the Lord while in Prayer? Many months ago, while in my morning prayer, Jesus gave me the word “elbow”. I prayed for understanding, but did not get peace about it. I searched the Scriptures. I asked my sister to…

Everyone’s Faith is Tested…
•
It does not feel good when our faith is tested. It happens to everyone. As I lay in the dark too tired to get out of bed, I started my day in prayer. I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit. I felt happy and safe as I contemplated how…

God is in the details…
•
I was wondering this morning during my morning Bible Study: Why was God so specific in His instructions to Moses in the Book of Exodus, about worship and the items used during it? I thought about how God was so specific in the details when He had Noah build the…

Worshipping God Becomes a Gift of Love for Us.
•
I was reminded this morning that worshipping God and spending time in prayer are gifts to us. Sure, the Father loves to be with His children, but we are the ones who benefit from worshipping God and being with Him. It is as if our gift of worship for God…

Matthew 5:22 Don’t call a foolish person a fool.
•
People Do Act Foolishly. A relative and I were talking about how Jesus said not to call anyone a “fool.” We had another family member being foolish, and they had many reasons to justify their behavior. We concluded that sometimes people are truly foolish, and Proverbs lists all kinds of…

Rejoice With Those Who Rejoice

Romans 12:15 “Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. 16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.” Jesus Gets Me I was reading my morning devotional…

A New Day – A New Year – New Opportunities
•
“It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:22-23 (KJV) “For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.”…

Run to God to Live
•
I was thinking about Judas this morning. Judah had a big problem with the sin of greed. In John 12:4-6, he complained about Jesus’ feet being anointed with expensive oil. The Scripture states that he complained out of greed. We all know he betrayed Jesus for 30 coins. Jesus knew.…

Jesus Celebrated Hanukkah
•
John 10:22 Did you know that Jesus celebrated Hanukkah? I did not know that. If you like to read and compare different translations as you study your Bible, check out John 10:22 as you study how Jesus asserts His deity in John 10:22-42. The “feast of the dedication” that Scripture…
