Todays Devotion Prayer Scripture Reading Reflection

Daily Scripture Reading: 1 Peter 4:13-16 KJV 1 Peter 4:13 KJV(13)  But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. Today’s Devotional Is THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT LONGSUFFERING The marvel of His enemies was the LONG-SUFFERING silence that our Lord displayed. “As a lamb led to slaughter, and as a sheep who is dumb before her shearers,” He did not open His mouth. He kept His peace before the high priests. Pilate did not get an answer. He did not respond to Pilate’s challenge or reproach, except for benediction and prayer. “When He was reviled, He didn’t respond with reviling. When He suffered, … Read Bible Verses

Daily Scripture Reading: Genesis 18:14 KJV Genesis 18:14 KJV(14)  Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son. Today’s Devotional Is GOD’S RESOURCES There is no doubt about the identification of the three guests who appeared suddenly before Abraham’s tent-door. It is stated that “Jehovah appeared to him.” Our Lord was anticipating His Incarnation. He arrived incognito and His delights were with the men of men (Pro_8.31). During His earthly existence, He was fond of the homes and lives of men. He stayed with Peter and Zacchaeus and the home that Mary loved and Martha used. Two of His disciples … Read Bible Verses

Today’s Devotional Is THE FRUIT of the SPIRIT JOY Joy is a spontaneous experience. Like the carol of a lark, the joy of a child arises naturally when certain conditions are met. We must also understand the conditions Christ has set for us if we want to experience the joy He offers. If we are grafted into His true Vine, then there is nothing that can stop the flow of His love to our hearts. If we do what He commands and abstain from doing anything He forbids, then joy … Read Bible Verses

Todays Devotion Prayer Scripture Reading Reflection

Daily Scripture Reading: John 8:12 KJV John 8:12 KJV(12)  Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. Today’s Devotional Is JESUS, THE LIGHT OF WORLD THE STAR Sirius lies so far from us that its light travels at 186,000 miles per seconds. Yet, its light shines down on the telescope so brightly that it dazzles the eyes of the astronomer as if it were the sun. What can we say about Him, who we have been told that “God is Light” and that there is no darkness in Him, if only the light of one created world is … Read Bible Verses

Genesis 1:3 Devotional On WALKING IN THE LIGHT

Todays Devotion Prayer Scripture Reading Reflection

Daily Scripture Reading: Genesis 1:3 KJV Genesis 1:3 KJV(3)  And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. Today’s Devotional Is WALKING IN THE LIGHT ST. PAUL uses this Genesis passage to say that God, who commanded the light out of darkness, has shined in His hearts to bring the light of the knowledge and glory of God through the person of Jesus Christ. In his experience, he seems to recall that moment on the road to Damascus when the light shone and he saw Jesus’ face. It was almost as if he had gone through the chaos of his experience, while fighting against the conviction. God then said, “Let there Be Light.” He looked up and saw … Read Bible Verses

Todays Devotion Prayer Scripture Reading Reflection

Daily Scripture Reading: 1 Colossians 13:13 KJV 1 Colossians 13:13 KJV(13)  And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. Today’s Devotional Is THE FRUIT OF The SPIRIT LOVE LET US REMOVE the emphasis on fruit as opposed to the works of law. Work involves effort, strain, sweating, straining the muscles, and sweaty brows. But fruit is easy and natural, as the sap flows from the root to the bough and the bud. Our Christian life should reflect Christ’s exuberance. Paul, the Apostle of Christ, prayed for Christ to dwell in his converts’ hearts so that they could be grounded and rooted in love. Only when the Holy Spirit fills you to the brim, … Read Bible Verses

Todays Devotion Prayer Scripture Reading Reflection

Daily Scripture Reading Acts 1:8 KJV Acts 1:8 KJV(8)  But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Today’s Devotional Is WITNESS-BEARING IN CHRIST Driving-power is essential for all machines. The wheels may be shiny and new, with rubber tires, and the motor-car may have the most modern comfort and speed features. But it won’t move an inch until it is given the driving-power. The Gospel message is the same. Christ was crucified and rose again to complete the work of redemption. His disciples were chosen to bring the good … Read Bible Verses
