My Pocket God

…How long will you waver between two opinions?  If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him. (1 Kings 18:21)

How many of you know someone who is wavering between the One true God and a god of this world?  I happen to know quite a few and I love each opportunity I have to share the Truth of who the real God is.  There is only One who can save those who are dying daily.  There is only One who can stand the test of time and only One who does not demand our good deeds to make it to Heaven.  God Almighty is the only One who is living and active in our lives.  We pray to someone who lives today, who lived long before us, and whose presence we will still enjoy when we leave this earth.  There is no other religion that can claim a Living God, who sent a living sacrifice for our sins.

Their possessions were too great for them to remain together; the land where they were staying could not support them both because of their livestock. (Genesis 36:7)

This passage of Scripture is referring to Jacob and Esau.  It is mentioned in the account of Esau’s life.  There is really little that we know about Esau, as we have come to know much more about his brother Jacob.  We know that Esau gave up his birthright for a meal, he lost “the blessing”, at one point in time he wanted to kill his brother, and then later in Scripture we find out that Esau had forgiven his brother Jacob.

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart, be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer. (Psalm 19:14)

This passage of Scripture is really challenging me a lot right now.  It is so easy to get wrapped up in the things of life that really don’t matter.  There are moments that continue to slip away almost daily because of the time I spend meditating on the wrong things.  My heart needs to continuously find it’s way back to God’s direction.  There is a constant renewal that takes place when I surrender myself to God’s plan!  In fact, King David was very wise about this matter.  He continued to bring his heart back to God for renewal.  Let’s see how we can do the same through this passage in the Psalms.

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:1)

You’re invited to the Victorious Christian Life Party!

When: Now!

Scripture says, “Therefore, there is NOW no condemnation…”  Right now is the time to live in a place of victory.  Satan often wants to take us down the road of regret.  The place of what if’s, if only’s, shoulda, coulda, and woulda’s.  God doesn’t live there!  God lives in the right now.  He is here waiting for us to join Him in the party.  What kind of party is it?

Worthy of Imitation

Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. (Ephesians 5:1-2)

Does Scripture ever just grab a hold of your heart and not let go?  Well, tonight that’s what this passage is doing for me.  I’ve read it quite a few times before, but tonight it’s convicting me in a new way.  This passage of Scripture has dug down deep in to my heart and not let go.  God’s Word has a way of doing that when we spend time in it.  God constantly wants to renew us through it and bring us to a new understanding of who He is and can be in our lives.  So come with me through this devotional and find out what this passage means for us!
