Hail To The KING!

February 7, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Mark 15:18
And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!

 

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

   

    I remember as a young boy growing up in Holland, MI., we had an event every year in May called, “Tulip Time Festival.” Every year the City of Holland has had one of the largest parades in the United States. One year when I was very small, the President of the United States of America was in the parade. I had never met him and still have not met a living President to this day. Nevertheless, when he came by everyone was waving, saluting, and cheering. Therefore, I did the same thing. Why? I do not know, but I knew I needed to somehow show him some respect. After all, he was the President of the United States which I live in.

 

    In today’s passage of scripture, the soldiers were trying to mock Jesus by saluting him. Trying to make fun of Him. However, little did they realize that He was the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and He deserved far more than a simple salute. They did not realize that what they were doing was saluting the Saviour for all. You see, a “Saviour for ALL” would include them. If they had given Him their heart along with their salute, oh how it would have changed their lives for all eternity.     

 

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:


     Jesus deserves so much more today than our simple salute. I heard a well-known Pastor share one time how he would get up in the morning and say, “Private Adrian is reporting for duty, LORD.” I have never forgotten those simple, but profound words. Would you repeat them with me today and mean them? “Private (YOUR NAME) is reporting for duty, LORD.” 

 

Are you going to show up for duty today?

Add A Little Light
February 6, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Proverbs 6:23
For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

   

    Imagine being alone and driving down a country road at night when suddenly, you have a flat tire. You stop at the side of the dark road, open the lighted trunk, and get out the spare tire and the jack. However, when you get to the flat tire, it is so dark you can barely see. You fumble around trying to get the jack under the car and the lug nuts off. You know exactly where everything is, but it seems different in the dark. Then someone stops and asks if he or she might help, and they shine a light on what you are doing. What was taking forever in the dark seemed to be a breeze with just a little help from the light.

    Our life as a Christian can be that way. We know what we are supposed to do and so we just keep stumbling along in this dark world making it, but it is a struggle. However, if we will spend time in God’s Word it will be a lamp, a light, and a guide to our way of life. Does it make all the things we have to do in this life vanish away? No. However, working in the light makes having to do them a whole lot easier to face.     

 

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:


     Today, spend some time in God’s Word. Psalm 119:105 says, “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”  You will still need to go through your day. However, the light of God’s Word can make it seem so much more enjoyable.

Can you remember a time when you
worked in the darkness and it was difficult?

Created By God

February 5, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Psalm 33:6
By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth
.

 

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

 

    I get such a kick out of people who try extremely hard to justify the theory that creation and evolution co-exist in the Bible. They will try to make you believe the idea that there may have been hundreds of years between each of the created days. They suggest that it was during this extended period between each of the days is when evolution took place. That the stars and planets were bouncing off one another and changing into what we see today.

 

    However, all of that contradicts what it says here in Psalm 33:6. Both here, and in Genesis 1 the Bible clearly says He spoke all of our solar system into existence. All of which we now see with our eyes was created by God to show us His wonder, His glory, and His awesome power.

 

    The same breath He used to create all the stars, planets, and solar systems, He also used to breathe life into man and speak peace to our souls. What a wonderful and marvelous God He is  


 
 

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

 

    Tonight, as you look into the sky and see all the stars and planets God has made, thank Him for His awesome display of love written in the vastness of space. Let it remind you each and every day of the mighty works of a God. Remember also, the mighty work that God did in your heart when He saved you from your sin. That work my friend was just as majestic.

 

Would you stop tonight and thank God
for all His wonderful creations?”

It Will Come To Pass

February 4, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Exodus 16:10
And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud
.

 

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

 

   In this chapter, the phrases “came to pass” and “come to pass” appear five times. As we continue reading the Bible, we see that everything God promised would happen indeed occurred. Each prophecy came to pass exactly as He said it would. Everything. There is nothing, not one single promise God made to the Children of Israel, that did not come to fruition.

 

    This truth continues throughout the entire book we call the Bible. He has never promised something that has not come true exactly as He said it would and when He said it would. Isn’t it great to know we have a God we can rely on to be correct 100% of the time? If He says it will come to pass, it will.

 

 

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

 

  As we read the future promises of God, we can rejoice in the fact that we know they will all be fulfilled exactly as He promised. Which for the redeemed in Christ Jesus means a home in Heaven someday. If you do not know Christ, He will fulfill the promise to save you if you will let Him. However, if you choose not to allow Him to redeem you from your sin, then you must also remember that ALL OF HIS PROMISES WRITTEN IN HIS WORD WILL BE FULFILLED EXACTLY AS HE PROMISED! All of them.

 

What promises from God’s Word
are you most excited about?”

Whose Prayer Is Answered?

February 3, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Mark 11:24
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

 

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

   

    WOW! What a powerful verse. In addition, what a misunderstood verse this has been. Too many preachers and teachers today take this verse out of context and tell people if you just believe hard enough you can have anything. However, what if I as a Christian, believe with all my heart that you would squander any wealth God might give you? It is my true belief that wealth would cause you to take your eyes off God and instead trust in the wealth. Therefore, really believing this I pray and ask God to withhold wealth from you for your own good. You, on the other hand, as a Christian believe just the opposite. Therefore, you pray and ask God to bless you so you can use the wealth for His honor and glory. Which prayer will be answered? We both believe and pray for what we think is good for you.

 

    To understand this you need to read a couple of verses before today’s verse. Mark 11:22 Jesus begins this conversation by saying, “Have faith in God.” Jesus is trying to help us understand that we need to believe in God and desire what He desires. Even if it looks impossible, you can believe what He has said. Believe your sins have been forgiven when you trust in Jesus and His blood for salvation. Believe Jesus is faithful to carry out everything He says. Believe your soul’s destiny is heaven as He has said. Believe what God believes.

 

    So, in the scenario we laid out whose prayer would have been answered? That is easy. It is the prayer that God knows will glorify Him. He always does what’s right.

 

  CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

 

    The foundation for answered prayer is salvation. The ultimate will of God is that none should perish, and all should come to repentance. If you believe what God says about this and trust in His Son Jesus for salvation, you can and will be saved. Believe those promises about your soul from God and you shall have them. It all begins with faith in God.

 

How do you try to pray according to the will of God?
