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?

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?

February 1 & 2, 2025 – The Thundering Of God

The Thundering Of God

February 1 & 2, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Psalm 29:3
The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD is upon many waters
.

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

   

    Living near the beautiful Lake Michigan, we have the ability to watch thunderstorms miles offshore before they ever get to us. We can see the lighting flashing in the distance and rain making its way toward us. However, knowing how far away the storm is from the shoreline is important so you do not end up getting all wet. Science tells us by using some very simple math we can determine the approximate distance. Here is what they say you can do. When you see a flash of lightning, begin counting, one thousand one, one thousand two, one thousand three, and so on until you hear the thunder. Sound travels at about one mile per 5 seconds so if you get to one thousand ten, the storm is about 2 miles offshore. Count the next one and you can tell about how fast it is coming toward you. Once the storm gets closer to the shore you can not only hear the loud crashing thunder but also feel its rumble. You know at that point to take cover, as the storm is very close.

    In this passage today, David likens the voice of the Lord to thunder on many waters. The thundering voice of the Lord has been warning us for years to prepare for a storm to come. Today it seems the rumble of His voice is even closer, as we see the devastation all around us which God predicted would happen in the last days. In fact, in Revelation 10:3 & 4 it talks of seven thunders. That is exactly the number of times “the voice of the Lord” is spoken of in Psalm 29. The thundering of God’s voice is ringing loud and clear.

  

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

   

    Can you feel the rumble of the voice of God? Do you know the storm is closer today than ever before? You need to take shelter. The only truly secure shelter to be found is in the arms of Jesus Christ. Run to Him today. Jesus is, “a shelter in the times of storm.”

How do you shelter in the storms of life?

The War Of Wills…


January 31, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Exodus 8:31
And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; there remained not one.

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

   

    Today’s verse says, “And the LORD did according to the word of Moses…” So why is it then that this same God does not always do what I say in my prayers? Could it be that we at times treat God as if He were our own personal genie? Make a wish, and God is supposed to make it come true. Our verse today indeed says that God did everything according to the words of Moses. Nevertheless, to understand this verse we must read all the verses before it.

    Why is it that reading all those verses is so particularly important? Well, because what you will find in those verses is that Moses did everything according to the Words of God.

    You see, for us to expect God to do our will, we must first be sure that our will is in complete alignment with His will. Like it says in the Lord’s example prayer given to His disciples, “thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”     

 

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:


     As we go through this day with our laundry list of requests before God, we must pause for a second and ask God to guide us into His Will. Making sure what we desire is in line with what He would desire. Then we can step back and watch how God will answer our prayers according to His will.

Are we praying following God’s will?
