Declaring God’s Faithfulness
For the Lord Most High is to be feared [and worshiped with awe-inspired reverence and obedience]; He is a great King over all the earth. (Psalm 47:2, AMP)
This week has been somewhat crazy for me, so I have not been able to get out the kind of devotionals I was planning on. Normally, I do a lot of studying before I write a single devotional. And I do my best to get all the devotionals done at least a week in advance. Well, life has done what it sometimes does. It’s turned my world upside down. It’s all good! God continues to be extremely faithful to me. In fact, I hope to write about this week’s events in an upcoming series.
Quality vs. Quantity
Your word I have treasured and stored in my heart, that I may not sin against You. (Psalm 119:11, AMP)
One of the most important things to remember when getting to know God is the quality of your time with Him. The best place to get to know God is in His Word.
John MacArthur puts it this way, “The Bible is the only completely trustworthy source of knowledge about God. Man can’t learn all he needs to know about God from human reason, philosophy, or even experience. God alone is the source of the knowledge about Himself, and He has chosen to reveal Himself in the Bible and in no other book.”
Take Up Your Cross
Then Jesus said to his disciples, ‘If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it.’ (Matthew 16:24-25)

Here are some ideas, if you need them…
1. If you need strength, memorize James 1:2-4.
“Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete not lacking anything.”
2. If you need wisdom, memorize James 1:5-6.
“If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.”
