Simple Devotions

  • diligence

    When I carefully consider this, I know there is nothing more important for me then to be a teacher of the Word and pass on to others what I have learned.

    So I have given serious thought to this time in my life and am inspired by the Holy Spirit and His Word to share that others may learn. I do consider all the words of the good book because they are honest and true.

    These are “seeds” and when taken root they are the life that gives light and salvation to a persons walk with the Lord.

    You only have to look up the word “seeds” in the bible to understand what role they play in this life, and I am sure that others did it for me. This is the work of the Lord!

    Sometimes the good seed may for a time lie dormant in a worldly heart, giving no notice, but I am reminded as the Spirit of God breaths on the soul that has hidden seeds, they will spring up.

    Sharing diligently the seeds given to us looks like sharing the good news of Christ salvation, we do not know what will prosper, but we must remember that we are to do our work in sharing and leave the results to God. Ecclesiastes 11

    In Christ Love, Amen

  • instinct

    The question is “do you trust your instinct” some say absolutely while others say it depends on the nature of the question.

    The environment we are in shapes our thinking without any teaching at all. It’s a response to what we have seen or heard. Like language when heard our brain records it and we repeat it. Or the perception of danger, we tend to want to run out of future events appearing real (F.E.A.R.) Yet we see it change when we remain calm. The outcomes vary for everyone because examples in life teach us what we know.

    I am learning that I don’t need to trust my instincts, I have the truth of Gods word to guide me, His absolute truth. I don’t have to guess, or base any decision on worldly ideas. I am reassured in God’s plans to lead and direct my feet.

    When we allow Him we will not need to have instincts because He gives discernment. Psalms 32:8

    We will chose the right path. We will have peace in all decisions.

    Deut 32:39 says He has our life.

    Ish 41:4 Says He is before us and will perform. v.26 and only HE can do this.

    Ish 43:1-13 He calls you by name – YOU are His in Christ Jesus, He has loved you, fear not He is with you, and you are witnesses for Him. He is the only Savior.

    Our confession of His faithfulness is not instinctual, it’s discerning, it’s when the plan of salvation comes together, that we come to be Heaven’s chosen agency to work for the revealing of Christ to the world. We are not left as orphans to live by instincts alone, Is God calling you today ? Are you uncertain of what is happening in your life today? Do you look around you and wonder “will I be able to survive in these times? ”

    I’m thankful to share the good news that God through His son Jesus has invited us in Isaiah 45:5-7 to guide us!

    Accept the Holy Spirits invitation today, if you haven’t then answer the appeal of Christ Gospel accept His sacrifice for your sins, believe that He is the Savior of your life and give your life to Him purposely today!

    In Christ Love, Amen
