HE SLAPPED GOD!

March 19, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

John 18:22
And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

   

    Can you even imagine a mortal man reaching out his hand and slapping the face of The Almighty God in the person of His Son Jesus Christ?

    First, there is the fact that God even allowed it to happen. The same God who parted the Red Sea for His children of Israel and then let the waters fall and destroy Pharaoh and his army which followed after them. This is the same powerful God who opened the earth and swallowed alive several of the children of Israel for disobedience in the desert. The same God who commands the winds, the waves, the sun, the stars, and controls all that is, allowed a simple man to slap His Son and in doing so slap the face of God.

    Then there are those who stood around. People who realized that Jesus was the Messiah. Those who openly had said they loved Him and would follow Him. Yet they allowed this man to strike the face of the one they said they loved. Would they have died if they had stepped forward? Possibly, but that is what they said they would do. Even die for Him.

    Then there is the Officer Himself. Who, after hearing that this was possibly the Son of God, the King of Kings, The Jewish Messiah, chose still to reach out his hand and strike our Lord in the face. It is hardly imaginable.

    But wait, look in the palm of that officer’s hand. What is written there? I can hardly believe my eyes. It is my name. It was I who caused this to happen. As this hand swipes across the face of my Lord, it bears in it the image of me and my sin. It was I who has beaten the precious body of my Lord. It is my fault.  


  

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

    In Isaiah 53:5 it says: “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed” Oh Lord, forgive me for all I put you through. AMEN.

Can you imagine the love of God for you?

In Search Of YOU!

March 18, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Proverbs 18:2
A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

    Many new books have been published over the years trying to help people find themselves. Self-esteem is a buzzword. The idea behind it all is that if you do not feel good about yourself, how can you even hope to survive?

    The sad thing is that when most people get to the end of the long road to find out the truth, they are often disappointed. If you do an honest self-examination, you will find you are just like everyone else. A different talent and a different way of life maybe, but other than material differences, we are all pretty much the same. We are no better and no worse than anyone else trudging around this big old mudball we call Earth.

    The search for oneself is often driven by self-pride. Can you imagine spending a lifetime searching, only to find that we are all just sinful creatures searching for the truth? Real truth will lead you to God. God’s Word tells us that man does not want to know the truth, what they want is to believe a lie. People want to hear that somehow; they are better or in some way different from the rest of the world. When the truth is, to find our real value in life, we must first have God in our lives. Once we make God the director of our life, He will show us just what He created us to be. Isn’t that what we really want? Not to know who we are, but to know what we may become?

    I heard it once said, “Life is a stage, and we are all actors there in.” The question then is, who is directing the continuing saga of your life?

  

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

    Giving our hearts to the Lord is a one-time thing. You only need to accept Christ as Saviour once to be eternally secure in that salvation. However, giving our lives over to God can be a daily struggle. Let’s just bow our hearts to the Lord today and tell Him, “I am here today to serve you, Lord. Make of me what you need me to be. Be the director of my life today. Amen.”

Will you allow and invite God to lead your life today?

Peek-A-Boo…I See You

March 17, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Psalms 69:5
O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee.

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

    I read a humorous story about a female skier named Picabo Street, (pronounced Peek-A-Boo Street). This famous Olympic skier, Picabo Street, is apparently not just an athlete, it is also said that she is a nurse. The report went on to say she was working in the Intensive Care Unit of a Metropolitan Hospital, however, she was not permitted to answer the telephone. It was said that it simply caused too much confusion when she would answer the hospital phone and say, “Picabo, ICU.”

    Well, I am not sure if the story is true or not, but I found it to be a bit funny. What is not funny is that so many Christians today feel they can play a real game of Peek-a-boo with God. Thinking somehow that sometimes God does not see them or maybe He is too busy to notice them for just a little while. It seems odd to me that we might wish to hide from God on one day, but the very next day when trouble comes knocking at our door we are crying out, “Oh God, can’t you see what is happening?” Well, the good news for us is God always sees what is happening. The sad news is He does not always enjoy what He sees.

  

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

    As we go through the day today, we should try to remember that God is always vigilant. He is watching over His loved children every moment of every day. Let’s keep Him in our mind, as He keeps us in His.

What might you do today to remind yourself
that God is ever present?

Want To See A Miracle?

March 15 & 16, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

John 12:37
But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:

 

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

   

    When you are sharing about Christ, occasionally people will ask you things like, “If God is real, how is it He does not do this or that?” They want to see with their own eyes our God do something. What these people are asking is, “Can I see a miracle?” The answer is a resounding, “YES.”

 

    There is the miracle of this planet staying in orbit over all these many years. There is the marvel that not one person ever has just been flung off into outer space as the earth spins round and round. There is the miracle of a baby being born and growing into a man or woman without science or anybody telling it how. The body just grows as God designed it to. There is the miracle of love in a world that promotes hate, violence, and death. However, if they really want to see the greatest miracle of all, ask them to fully trust in Jesus for what He already did on the cross of Calvary and what He is doing for them today in Heaven. Once they give themselves to God fully, they will witness the greatest miracle of all. It is the miracle of a changed heart. A life that was bound for Hell now has a home in Heaven. A life once filled with confusion and doubt is now filled with anticipations and expectations. What greater miracle could anyone ask for?


  

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

 

    I guess the second-best miracle I can think of today, is that God would use someone like you and I to carry this all-important life-changing message of salvation to someone who is lost in their sin. However, just as it was in Jesus’ days on earth, miracles do not really convince people. Even then, they would follow Him for the show, not out of true love. Still, God allows you and I, who were once lost just as they are, to carry this very precious and special message to them. Handle it with care as you share your faith in Christ. However, be sure to share your faith. That is why we are still here. To be seen by a lost world as God’s living miracles.

 

Who might you share a miracle with this week?

WHAT TO DO ON SUNDAY:

 

    There will not be a Daily Devotion sent out on Sundays. Instead, we encourage you to attend your church and listen intently to what God has prepared in the heart of your Pastor. Write down all the scriptures he uses in that message, then when you get home re-read those passages for today’s reading. God has given to your Pastor exactly what He desires for you on that day.

Which Way?

March 14, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Proverbs.14:12
There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

 

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

   

    No matter who we are, or what we are doing, there always seem to be three ways to do things. No, that is not a typo; I meant to write three ways.

 

    First, there is the wrong way. Nobody wants to do things the wrong way. You will never hear someone say, “Hey let’s just do this all wrong to see what will happen.” They know what will happen. It will come out wrong.

 

    Next, there is the right way. However, it always seems that doing things the right way includes reading a bunch of directions, doing things in a certain order, and so on. That sounds like it could take a long time.

 

    Therefore, we usually try the third way, OUR WAY. A few shortcuts here, not so much reading there, and done. Then we ask; “what do I do with the parts left over?” Finally, when things go wrong, as they often do, we ask, “How come?” Well, the reason is, that there are really only two ways to do things. Anything not done the right way is automatically the wrong way.

 

    We cannot take shortcuts in life either. Not reading God’s Word and expecting life to be ok will not work. The Bible warned us about these ways thousands of years ago. The way that seems right to man, taking shortcuts, no commitment, no real desire for God in our lives, the “I will have God when I want Him” attitude, is the wrong way… and it always ends in destruction.

 

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

 

     What is the right way? The right way is turning our lives over to God completely, and not holding anything back. It is opening the Bible daily and reading the instruction book to life. Additionally, the right way is by staying in touch with the manufacturer for any updates on the product He created, which is you. Remember if we follow the instructions, things go better.

 

So, What is the right way for you?
