All Devotions

Are you listening?

The sons of Israel did not listen to what God had promised them. This did not stop the LORD God from acting in their behalf. The LORD God continued with His plans to fulfill His purpose for His people. (The Book of Exodus.) So many times, today, people don’t listen to the wonderful promises God […]

“…but they did not listen…”

Why do you not listen when someone is talking to you?  Why do you shut others out?  Is it because you are intent on what you will next say to them?  Is it because you are depressed and under cruel bondage to sins? How sad, when we stop listening to God. Moses was sent by […]

“…My people…”

Stunning revelation of God… He promised to take slaves in Egypt for His people and He would be their God! They would know, for certain and for sure, that “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.”  Exodus 6:7   Then God said even more – He […]

Hearing…

When others talk, are you hearing what they are saying?  Perhaps you are busy thinking about what you will say when they finally stop talking. Being a good listener is appreciated by others.  Hearing, actually hearing, is practiced by too few people.  Would others say you hear them? If you are a parent, are you […]

Remembering a promise…

Do you remember a promise you made to someone – years ago? The LORD did just that.  He made a promise, a covenant with Abraham.  He made the same promise to Abraham’s son, Isaac and then to his son, Jacob.  God established His covenant with three generations and He promised a specific land, for them […]

Getting to know you…

How do you get to know another person? As you spend time with someone you get to know them.  People are many layers.  There is a lot to a person and it takes time to know them.  A brief “hi” is not enough. The same can be said in getting to know the Lord Jesus […]

The LORD God Is…

The LORD God Is… Almighty yet available – right now for me!  He is available for you – call out to Him! Blessed forever – yesterday, today and forever and ever!  You can count on Him! Cornerstone – I am to build my life on Jesus Christ, for He holds all things together! Faithful and […]

How Does God Take Care of Sins?

For followers of Christ, those whose faith is in Jesus as their Savior and Lord, our sins are forgiven.  Does that mean we are without sin?  No, it does not.  We are still sinners.  But we are forgiven sinners.  Our faith is in Jesus and not ourselves.  Our faith is in His work on the […]

The Lesson of the Black Burden

A woman dressed in a white blouse and white slacks carried a large black plastic bag filled with trash.  What a contrast and yet a “picture” of the followers of Christ.  We are dressed in His righteousness… which is pure. That lady throws the large black burden filled with trash away… which is what God […]

The Lesson of the Steamed Over Window

I see the rivulets running down the outside of the window from the moisture covering the window’s surface.  I cannot wipe the moisture away, it is outside. As I look out the window, I can see shapes and colors, but everything is indistinct and blurred. By stepping out of the room and going outside – […]
