Devotions

“Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

Mark 14:38

The LORD really wants us to be watching and praying! Watching what is happening around us and praying about it! Watching for the LORDS return and praying for it! Watching for people who need salvation and praying for them!

“Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is.”

Mark 13:33

The LORD doesn’t tell us to watch and make comments or watch and have a opinion! He says to watch and pray!

“And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!”

Mark 13:37

Today let us be aware of what is going on around us, and before we speak, give advice or make any kind of comment let’s PRAY! Have a blessed day full of time praying to the LORD!

“Tell the people of Israel: The designated times of the LORD which you are to proclaim as holy convocations that are My designated times.”

“These things which you see – the days will come in which not one stone shall be left upon another that shall not be thrown down.”

Luke 21:6

Like the disciples looking at the temple and its majesty and thinking how great we are to build something so magnificent! We often do the same thing look at our Church, Synagogue or ministry see how beautiful they are! Jesus tells them not one stone will be left upon another, the same can happen to us if we are not careful.

“Because zeal for Your house has eaten me up, And the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me.”

Psalm 69:9

Our lives need to be about the LORD not buildings or institutions, because they will consume us. The LORD wants us to be about Him, sharing and talking about Him.

“You also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus.”

1 Peter 2:5

So let’s be consumed by the LORD, sharing how great He is! Have a awesome and blessed day sharing about the LORD!

“The same teaching is to apply equally to the citizen and to the foreigner living among you.”

“I treasure Your word in my heart, so that I won’t sin against You.”

Psalm 119:11 CJB

Life will always be better when we apply the word of the LORD to it, not the foolish wisdom of the world! So many people today get caught up in political and social change debates, when we really need to just follow what the LORD says!

“He has shown you, O man, what is good: And what the LORD requires of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God.”

Micah 6:8 NKJB

Today let us not get caught up in the silly debates of the world, but instead let us be caught up in the LORD! Have a blessed day and week seeking the LORD!

“BLESSED IS THE KING WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest! And SOME of the Pharisees called Him from the crowd, Teacher rebuke Your disciples. But He answered and said to them, I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out.”

Luke 19:38-40

There will always be naysayers and haters of God around us, no need to worry about that! What we need to do is be louder than the haters and share the love of the LORD!

“Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him of all His wondrous works!”

Psalm 105:2

There are so many people around us full of hate, protesting about everything under the sun! Let’s just be louder as we rejoice about the SON, who saves!

“This is the day that the LORD has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.”

Psalm 118:24

Today let us share the love of the LORD not the noise of the world! Don’t share the foolish news of the day, but instead the salvation of the KING, the world really needs Jesus! Have a blessed day sharing the love of the LORD!
