Devotions

“For I have known him, in order that he may command his children and His household after him, that they keep the way of the LORD, to do righteousness and justice, that the LORD may bring Abraham what He has spoken to him.” Genesis 18:19

Like Abraham the LORD wants to speak to us, and what He speaks to us He wants us to do and teach our children so they can walk in His ways to! Today we teach our children how to fish, hunt, play sports and how to be successful! But instructing them in the word of the LORD is not a big priority!

“Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6

Not just training and teaching your children, we must also be studying learning and doing what the LORD instructs us to do also! Spending time in His word, and spending time with the LORD isn’t a five minute prayer in the morning! It needs to be a continuous all day devotion!

“I will delight myself in Your statues; I will not forget Your word. Deal bountifully with Your servant, That I may live and keep Your word.” Psalm 119:16-17

The LORD wants to speak with us and give us insights, so spend time with Him today! Instruct your kids and encourage your friends and family in the love of the LORD! Have a blessed day.

“Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10

We have all kinds of problems and issues in life way to many to name! What we need to realize is, compared to the LORD they are nothing!

“You shall seek them and not find them – Those who contend with you. Those who war against you Shall be as nothing, As a nonexistent thing.” Isaiah 41:12

Don’t get caught up focusing on your problems or your situations you are going through! Often times we can look to banks, loans, insurances and professionals for help! In every situation we must seek the LORD first, He is our only real hope.

“For I, the LORD your God, will hold your right hand, Saying to you, Fear not, I will help you.” Isaiah 41:13

Today realize the LORD is holding our hand, and is helping us through every situation! So look to Him, call on Him and just trust Him! Have a blessed day!

“The Angel of the LORD said to her, Return to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hand.” Genesis 16:9

The LORD says the same to us simply submit unto Him. Follow His instruction and direction, with that life will always be easier.

“Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” James 4:7

A amazing thing happens when we submit unto the LORD, and trust Him and not our own understanding. Things always seem to work out when we step out in faith and trust the LORD.

“For we walk by faith, not by sight.” 2 Corinthians 5:7

Let us submit unto the LORD today and walk in faith, trusting He has it all worked out! Have a blessed day.

“And he believed in the LORD, and He accounted it to him for righteousness.” Genesis 15:6

We all from time to time have moments of unbelief, were we have doubts that the LORD is there. Here the word makes it real simple all we have to do is believe!

“Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, LORD, I believe; help my unbelief.” Mark 9:24

If we are having doubts moments of unbelief all we have to do is call upon the LORD, and He is there to help us!

“Save, LORD! May the King answer us when we call.”

Psalm 20:9

So today no matter what is going on, just simply call on the LORD and believe He is hearing and working things out! Have a blessed day.

“And there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of lot’s livestock. The Canaanites and the Perizzites then dwelt in the land.” Genesis 13:7

Here we see Abraham and Lot’s family of the same tribe and belief system not getting along! Having strife between them, arguing over what the LORD has blessed them with!

“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity!” Psalm 133:1

God has given us all so much but yet we still, argue, whine and complain not about the world but other believers! Like the Canaanites and Pezzites who were watching and laughing at them! Realize the world today is doing the same.

“By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 13:35

Today let us rejoice when we see other ministries being blessed also when we see brothers and sisters doing things we may desire to do! And let us not cut down others even when we may not see eye to eye biblically, the LORD will correct them or may even correct you! Let us love one another as Jesus has told us! Have a blessed day.
