HELLO! God, Are You Listening?

August 1, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Proverbs 1:28-29
Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:

 

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

 

     Almost all people call on God when they are in trouble. They may have little or no knowledge of who He is, but when trouble hits, He is one of the first ones called upon for help. It is a comforting thought to know God hears us when we pray. To know that we are not sending empty wishes into the star-filled heavens. For Christians to have the assurance of communicating with the heart of a loving, caring, able, and compassionate God. We are touching the throne of heaven when we pray.

 

     That is, if we are saved. However, if not, God has no obligation to hear that prayer. The unsaved have heard of God. We know this because when trials come, they often pray to Him. However, they have previously rejected God. God spoke to them, and their knowledge of God was not what they wanted. The reverence for God was not in their heart. So, in a time of trouble, God is not obligated to respond to a person who only loves Him for what He can do for them while in trouble. Then, when the problem is gone, so is their desire to have God around.

 

     What a terrible thing it would be to think that God would choose not to listen to us! You can, however, guarantee an audience with God. How? Love Him freely now. Ask Him to be your heavenly Father today.

 

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

 

   Is God not hearing me? Is God not listening? What a terrible thought! It does not have to be that way. Even in the midst of trouble, God always hears a repentant and humble heart crying out to Him for forgiveness and believing on His Son Jesus for salvation. Once we have entered the family of God, then the FATHER will always listen to His children. I am so glad I am a part of the FAMILY OF GOD.

 

Have you ever felt alone, as if God was not listening?

I Do Not Deserve This
July 31, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Psalm 28:4
Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.

 

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

 

     “Why is this happening to me? I do not deserve this!” We have all heard someone make comments like this and possibly have said them ourselves. However, if the truth were known, we would deserve everything we get and a lot more. Only the grace of God keeps us from getting what we really deserve. All the things that happen between people here on this earth that make us feel as though someone has done us wrong or sinned against us. When in reality it was a sin against God, not us. Think for a second, how could they sin against us? We are not gods, nor are we sinless or perfect. Others may commit a sin that includes us, and it may be offensive. However, people cannot sin against one another. All our sins are sins against a Holy God.

 

     Our little white lies to one another are an insult to who God is. He is the truth. Our unconcern for others daily is a slap in the face of a God who commended His perfect love toward us, even when we were unsaved. Our unbelief in the power and abilities of an almighty God is like telling Him we do not believe He can fix our problems. Our lack of communication with Him daily through fervent prayer and Bible reading is hurtful to Him since we go around telling others He is our best friend.

 

     If we were treated as we treat God, we would lose our patience with people like us. Nevertheless, the grace of God toward His children seems never-ending. In all reality, we actually get what we DO NOT deserve. Oh, how glad I am for that.

 

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

 

     We should take a moment and thank God for his undying love and patience with the imperfect life we live. Those who have believed in Jesus as their Saviour will never get what they really deserve. Oh, how I love Jesus because He first LOVED ME.

 

If you received in life what you really deserve,
how might your life be different?

Do I find within this reading a CHALLENGE for my life?

A Promise Is A Promise

July 30, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

2 Kings 13:23
And the LORD was gracious unto them, and had compassion on them, and had respect unto them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast he them from his presence as yet.

 

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

     

     I AM NOT A LIAR! These are words that all of us want to be able to say. In fact, for someone to call us a liar is about one of the worst things we can be called. It means we are untrustworthy. Not just in our speech and what we say, but it is also true that we cannot be trusted in the things we do. Moreover, for the most part, most of us intend to tell the truth. However, there are those times when you say I will be there at 10:00 and you get there at 10:05. We have all heard the excuses that there was a train that blocked the road, three dogs ran in front of the car, there was a new detour which was just put in, and the slow semi driver you could not get around. Nevertheless, the fact remains that you said one thing and did another. It was not because you wanted to, but because things seemed out of your control, what you said did not come to pass.

 

     It is so great to know that God never ever, ever, ever, ever tells a lie. In today’s verse, we find that God had made a promise with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and nothing could cause Him to break His Word. The reason is that there is never anything out of His control.

 

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

 

     What promises did God’s Word reveal to you today? Whatever they are, you can take them to the bank. God will never make a promise He will not keep. NEVER! Including the one in Hebrews 13:5, which says, “…I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” NEVER!

 

What do you believe is God’s greatest promise to you?

Be Not Afraid!
July 29, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Mark 6:50
For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

     Troubles seem to come at terrible times. But then, when is a good time to have trouble? However, problems still always seem to take us by surprise. Sometimes, it starts small with a minor situation, and then the problem gets bigger and bigger. Or it may be that instead of that particular problem getting bigger, more and more problems accumulate on top of the one you already have. The pressure often feels too much to bear. We try, scheme, and work at fixing them, but many times the harder we try, the worse the situation becomes. Then old Satan causes us to start believing we must have done something terrible for all this to be happening to us. Why else would God allow all this to happen? In addition, we often become afraid to go to Jesus with our problems.

     Well, it is possible that there may be an area of your life that you may still need to yield to Him. However, it could also be that He wants you to learn to rely on Him more. It could be that you have not spoken with Him in a while, and He simply longs to hear your voice! Perhaps, He is trying to tell you something, but you have not opened the pages of your Bible in so long that you do not hear Him speak. He may want to deliver into your life the peace that only He can provide. In any case, the last three words of today’s verse ought to bring us comfort. Whatever the reason for our situation, God is still in control. He says to you, Christian, “Be not afraid!”

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

     To be afraid of Jesus makes no sense at all. He loves you more than you can ever know. He wants only what is best for you. To be so ashamed of what we may have done that we will not reach out to God is the Devil’s way of keeping you from real joy. Remember, all sin has been taken care of in His love for you on the cross. Confess it, and He will restore the fellowship you had before. What He wants most with you and what you should want with Him is an everyday, personal, one-on-one relationship. “Be Not Afraid.”

Have you ever felt afraid of God?

Do I find within this reading a CHALLENGE for my life?
