What an Amazing God We Have

If you’re a not-yet follower of Jesus Christ, please come along on this journey with us. You are welcome here.
And, I invite you to read my series on the book “What Does God Want?”.

In my January 19th post, under the heading “Worry”, I mention the 365-day devotional book my friend and Jesus sister and I are reading through each morning: “Grace & Glory” by pastor Louie Giglio. Select the link above to learn more.

I’m enjoying this book very much, and wanted to share a few “devos” (devotional readings) from this week with you all, especially as we journey through February, the “month of love”. There’s nothing better than God’s love!

God Almighty Is with You

1 Kings 8:57 (BSB)
57 May the LORD our God be with us, as He was with our fathers. May He never leave us or forsake us.

Almighty God, the Creator, the Lord of the Universe, is with me, with us! And, because of Christ Jesus and through the Holy Spirit, He lives in us! No other religion, no other spiritual faith, offers this incredible relationship.

Lord God, help us to better communicate this with the lost, in a way that would be winsome and delightful to them, that would create hunger in them to want You, to repent, and to be redeemed by You. Amen!

Daily Drawing Close to Jesus

Psalm 145:18 (BSB)
18 The LORD is near to all who call on Him,
to all who call out to Him in truth.

Oh, again, what a wonderful faith to have, that God is our Good Shepherd. Dear Lord Jesus, I want to stay as close to You as I can, even during mundane, daily tasks. You are always with me. I want to live each day with You in mind, walking with me, as my Good Shepherd. Amen.

Aligned in Christ’s Sufficiency

2 Corinthians 3:5 (BSB)
5 Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim that anything comes from us, but our competence comes from God.

“Thanks to Jesus, we sit at a banquet table every day—our cups are constantly overflowing.”
~Louie Giglio, page 40.

If only I lived this every single day! Father God, I tend to wake up with feelings, thoughts, of deficiency, of lack:

• The sin nature in me until I die

• My physical weaknesses

Do I ever wake up living in the fullness of “every spiritual blessing” that You’ve given me through Your Son? (Ephesians 1:3) Abba, let’s shift my paradigms! Let’s make this true for me every morning, knowing that I sit at Jesus’ banquet table every day, with cups overflowing with your blessings. Amen.

The Story of Eternal Life

John 11:25 (BSB)
25 Jesus said to her [Martha], “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in Me will live, even though he dies.”

“He came to secure the ending of your story, and He was the only one capable of rewriting that script.”
”Redeemed to be with Him forever.”
~Louie Giglio, page 41.

Jesus has secured the ending of my life story. Abba, amen, so true! What Jesus has done for me on the cross and through the empty grave cannot be undone. The ending of my earthly life is secured in Him. Amen.

Maranatha, come Lord Jesus.

Soli Deo Gloria!
