GOD’S WORD:

Genesis 43:23 And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks: I had your money. And he brought Simeon out unto them.

 GETTING INTO GOD’S WORD:

    People have been searching for lost or hidden treasures for years. What a joy after hunting and searching to find the reward at the end of it all. It almost makes you forget all the time and toil that went into finding the treasures you have sought. But what if the treasure searched for you?

    Joseph’s brothers were scared when they found that the money, they had brought to buy food from Egypt was back in the top of their sack along with the food. This did not seem like a treasure, it felt like a trap. In Genesis 43:18 it says, “And the men were afraid, because they were brought into Joseph’s house; and they said, Because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time are we brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us for bondmen, and our asses.” They were sure it was a trap. However, in today’s verse Joseph’s Steward tells them; “…fear not: your God, and the God of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks:…” In other words, because of your God, the treasure found you.

     If we would stop for a moment to look back at our life, we will see that along the way, God has sprinkled treasures into each of our lives. Most often treasures we were not even searching for. Blessings he spread along our way. Placing a treasure to find on top of His provisions for us. 

 GETTING GOD’S WORD INTO ME:

    James 1:17 says every good gift is from above. If we realize that, our heart begins to treasure all that is above. Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. If God becomes the treasure we seek, our heart is there with Him..  

Could your heart be the treasure God has been seeking?

 THE WEEK IN REVIEW:

    God is a very personal God. He’s involved with our lives in a very personal way. In this past week we have seen…

  ● The Touch Of God
  ● The Time With God
  ● The Terror Of God
  ● The Testing Of God
  ● The Truth From God
  ● The Treasures Of God

     He’s personal because we are family. Revelation 21:7 “He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.”

 Enjoy today with your church and hear what God has prepared in the heart of His man for you this week.

   See you tomorrow.  

 SUNDAYS:

    Today we suggest you read and study whatever the Lord has laid on your Pastors heart. Whatever scripture he uses for today’s messages were given to him by God for your specific needs.

A Very Personal God

A Touch from God and Time with God will remove
any Terror of God or His Testing.
His Truth then becomes our Treasure.
His Presence becomes our Delight.

 January 14 & 15, 2023
 January 14 – Daily Reading – Genesis 29 – 30 / Matthew 10
 January 15 – NO READING

 GOD’S WORD:

Genesis 30:43 And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses.

 GETTING INTO GOD’S WORD:

    Alright, after you read the first sentence of this devotion, close your eyes and think really hard, in ten years from today what will the weather be like? Ok, even the weather channel cannot get tomorrow correct so that is not fair. How about tomorrow? Can you tell me what is going to happen tomorrow in your neighbor’s home? You might ask, how in the world could I possibly answer those questions without guessing and hoping I get something right? The answer is simple, you cannot. None of us can predict all the details of the future and be right one hundred percent of the time. Only God can do that.

    When it comes to prophecy, God is always right. At the end of Genesis 30 we read of the beginning of God fulfilling His prophecy to Abraham. Back in Genesis 12:2-3 God told Abram; “And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.” His grandson Jacob brought a blessing to the house of Laban because God was blessing Laban through Jacob. Jacob’s increase was God’s providing and doing exactly as He promised. When it comes to prophesy, God cannot be wrong because He just does whatever He said He was going to do. When you can do whatever you desire, it is hard to be wrong about anything. 

 GETTING GOD’S WORD INTO ME:

    When God says something will happen, it will. Whatever God has promised you in scripture, it is a done deal. God’s prophecies always come true exactly as He says. It is really not a question of prophesy coming true, but of who is doing the prophesying.  

Who are you going to believe?

 THE WEEK IN REVIEW:

     We are an inquisitive bunch of people. It begins early in life asking what, why, and when about life’s wonders. This week I pray God’s Word may have answered: 

    Enjoy Sunday with your church and hear what God has prepared in the heart of His man for you this week.   

 SUNDAYS:

    Today we suggest you read and study whatever the Lord has laid on your Pastors heart. Whatever scripture he uses for today’s messages were given to him by God for your specific needs.

NO Question About It

  God’s Power backs up His Promises.
His Promises are about His Providing.
His Providing ensures His Presence.
His Presence has been His Pledge.
His Pledge is to fulfill His Prophesies.

Hebrews 2:12

January 7 & 8, 2023
January 7 – Daily Reading – Genesis 15 – 17 / Matthew 6:1-15
January 8 – NO READING

GOD’S WORD:

Genesis 15:6 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.

GETTING INTO GOD’S WORD:

    How does a person get saved from sin? How did a person in the Old Testament get saved when Jesus was not even born yet? How will people in the tribulation be saved when the Holy Spirit is not continually present, convicting the hearts or man? The answer has always been and will always be the same. Our salvation from the curse of sin is our FAITH in God and His Word

    Abram, soon to be renamed to Abraham which means “father of many nations”, simply took God at His Word. He put all his faith into God’s promises. This is amazing, since he and his wife were very old, but he took God at His Word that from him God would make a nation so large that they could not be counted. In Romans 4 it talks about Abraham’s faith in God’s promise. Romans 4:20-22 “He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.” Our Salvation from sin today is also by faith in God’s Word. God said in John 20:31 “But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.” Our Salvation from the curse of sin has always been through Christ and will always be Our Faith in God and His Word. 

GETTING GOD’S WORD INTO ME:

    Abraham looked forward in faith. We must look upward in Faith. One day in glory, we will look back to today, and rejoice in our faith.  

Hebrews 11:1 says, “faith is the substance of things hoped for…”the question is, in whom do you place your FAITH?

THE WEEK IN REVIEW:

    We’ve seen over the past week, God’s creation of all things and He said it was very good. (Gen 1:31) Yet in just 17 Chapters of the first book we have seen;

● He Made You Special
● The Separation Of Sin
● The Saturation Of Sin
● The Selfishness Of Sin
● The Solution For Sin
● Our Salvation From Sin

As I pray you have seen and will continue to see throughout the pages of the Bible, “Sin Is No Match For God.”

Enjoy today with your church and hear what God has prepared in the heart of His man for you this week.

See you tomorrow.  

SUNDAYS:

    Today we suggest you read and study whatever the Lord has laid on your Pastors heart. Whatever scripture he uses for today’s messages were given to him by God for your specific needs.

Sin Is No Match For God

  Isn’t it interesting that Sunday is the last day of the weekend,
but considered the first day of the week.
It is only fitting that it be called the Lords Day,
since He is the Alpha and Omega the beginning and the end.

Hebrews 2:12

DECEMBER 24 & 25, 2022
Daily Reading – Zephaniah / Revelation 16-17

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Revelation 17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    Have you ever gone to a store and felt you have been mistreated? Maybe at the checkout a clerk was rude and disrespectful. So, you find the store manager only to find that they do not care either. When you get home, you find the corporate address and write a letter. Not long after, you receive a letter of apology, coupons, and an assurance this will never happen again. What is the difference? The owner sincerely cares about the store’s reputation and its customers.

    Satan may be causing a lot of problems today in this old world. However, the owner has been notified. There is coming a day when the King of all kings and Lord of all lords, who cares very much for you and His testimony will say enough. 

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Won’t that be a day?

WHAT TO DO ON SUNDAY:

     On Sundays, we encourage you to attend your local 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.
