Today's Verse : 2 Thessalonians 1:3

November 14, 2007

VERSE:
We ought always to thank God for you, brothers, and rightly so,
because your faith is growing more and more, and the love every one
of you has for each other is increasing.
-- 2 Thessalonians 1:3

http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=2+Thessalonians+1:3

THOUGHT:
When was the last time you found a new brother or sister in
Christ and told that precious person all the things they were doing
right? Don't you think that's too long, and that you should let
them know today? Let's be more committed to encouraging and
affirming others who are in Christ as well as giving thanks to God
for them.

PRAYER:
Saving Shepherd of lost souls, thank you for the new Christians
in our church and in my life. Bless them and protect them from the
Evil One and use us, your children and their brothers and sisters,
to be there to help and encourage them on their journey to
perfection in Christ. In the holy name of Christ Jesus, my Lord.
Amen.

Mustard Seed Thought: Abraham Two

"I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing." Genesis 12:2 NIV

Yesterday I mentioned that as we read about Abraham, we are reading about history. While I don't back down from that statement, even though it is history, the promises are still very true today.

Someone once told me that you know when you are popular when everyone starts to pick on you. The rise of prominence most always leads to the rise of criticism, and sometimes the rise of persecution. Ask any President of the United States how their life changes under the constant spotlight. There is never truer of a nation, than when you consider the nation of Israel.

Have you ever known a more persecuted group of people than the Jews? Has there ever been a nation with so much trouble and strife? Yet, has there ever been a nation with such favor from God? Certainly there are those who would disagree that they are a favored nation, but when empires have risen and fallen throughout history, such as the Babylonians, the Assyrians and the Romans, what nation can continually exist even without any land to call their own at times? The Jewish nation has survived because of the promise God made to Abram! When Abram left for the land God would show him, do you think he could have even imagined the magnitude God would bestow upon Abram's people?

The greatest part of this verse to me, however, is not the promise God made to Abram, although I'm glad He did. It is the promise he made to you and to me. You see, when God promised to make Abram into a great nation, I am firmly convinced He was thinking of you and me, the modern day 21st century Christian. They can take away our freedom to pray in public places; they can remove the Ten Commandments from our courtrooms; and they can single us out to persecute, but the nation of God will continue to flourish, because God has sworn to it. We will prevail as a people, because God said so!

When life gets you down, remember that God has already promised you victory! We read about it in history, and it is still so true today!

Kids Say the Most Important Things!, by Ron Rose

And he [Jesus] said: "Truly I tell you, unless you change and
become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of
heaven (Matthew 18:3 TNIV).

She couldn't wait to tell me about it. It was her story of faith.

"My little granddaughter, Tina, was in Children's Hospital, Santa Ana,
California. We had requested prayers from area churches and we gathered
in the waiting room the night before the surgery to pray for success. I
had great faith, but I was still worried.

"The operation was serious. It was heart valve repair, but Tina wasn't
concerned. This six-year old trooper was an inspiration.

"The next morning the surgery went well and we were thankful, but
unprepared for what happened next. Tina was in the recovery area and
barely conscience when the surgeon came by. The Doctor got out his
stethoscope, listened a bit and said, 'Tina, everything went fine.'

"Tina opened her eyes and whispered, 'Doctor, did you see Jesus?'

"Stunned by the question, the doctor replied, 'No, was I supposed to?'

"'Well,' Tina said, 'he lives in my heart!'"

With tears of joy, this excited grandmother told me, "I will never be
the same. Those words opened my eyes. I now look for Jesus in the most
unexpected places."

"I will never be the same."

Children often say things that break through all the clutter and open
our eyes to spiritual realities, ones we have missed or ignored or
misunderstood.

What words have you heard children or grandchildren say that touched
your heart and changed your life?

Listen to the children this week. Listen for wonder!

Morning & Evening -- John 15:4 and Luke 18:1

-/\/\-----------------------------------------------------------------
\ / Charles Spurgeon's MORNING & EVENING

http://www.heartlight.org/
--\/------------------------------------------------------------------

Tuesday, November 13, 2007

MORNING:

"The branch cannot bear fruit of itself."
-- John 15:4

How did you begin to bear fruit? It was when you came to Jesus and cast
yourselves on his great atonement, and rested on his finished
righteousness. Ah! what fruit you had then! Do you remember those early
days? Then indeed the vine flourished, the tender grape appeared, the
pomegranates budded forth, and the beds of spices gave forth their
smell. Have you declined since then? If you have, we charge you to
remember that time of love, and repent, and do thy first works. Be most
in those engagements which you have experimentally proved to draw you
nearest to Christ, because it is from him that all your fruits proceed.
Any holy exercise which will bring you to him will help you to bear
fruit. The sun is, no doubt, a great worker in fruit-creating among the
trees of the orchard: and Jesus is still more so among the trees of his
garden of grace. When have you been the most fruitless? Has not it been
when you have lived farthest from the Lord Jesus Christ, when you have
slackened in prayer, when you have departed from the simplicity of your
faith, when your graces have engrossed your attention instead of your
Lord, when you have said, "My mountain standeth firm, I shall never be
moved"; and have forgotten where your strength dwells-has not it been
then that your fruit has ceased? Some of us have been taught that we
have nothing out of Christ, by terrible abasements of heart before the
Lord; and when we have seen the utter barrenness and death of all
creature power, we have cried in anguish, "From him all my fruit must
be found, for no fruit can ever come from me." We are taught, by past
experience, that the more simply we depend upon the grace of God in
Christ, and wait upon the Holy Spirit, the more we shall bring forth
fruit unto God. Oh! to trust Jesus for fruit as well as for life.

EVENING:

"Men ought always to pray."
-- Luke 18:1

If men ought always to pray and not to faint, much more Christian men.
Jesus has sent his church into the world on the same errand upon which
he himself came, and this mission includes intercession. What if I say
that the church is the world's priest? Creation is dumb, but the church
is to find a mouth for it. It is the church's high privilege to pray
with acceptance. The door of grace is always open for her petitions,
and they never return empty-handed. The veil was rent for her, the
blood was sprinkled upon the altar for her, God constantly invites her
to ask what she wills. Will she refuse the privilege which angels might
envy her? Is she not the bride of Christ? May she not go in unto her
King at every hour? Shall she allow the precious privilege to be
unused? The church always has need for prayer. There are always some in
her midst who are declining, or falling into open sin. There are lambs
to be prayed for, that they may be carried in Christ's bosom? the
strong, lest they grow presumptuous; and the weak, lest they become
despairing. If we kept up prayer-meetings four-and-twenty hours in the
day, all the days in the year, we might never be without a special
subject for supplication. Are we ever without the sick and the poor,
the afflicted and the wavering? Are we ever without those who seek the
conversion of relatives, the reclaiming of back-sliders, or the
salvation of the depraved? Nay, with congregations constantly
gathering, with ministers always preaching, with millions of sinners
lying dead in trespasses and sins; in a country over which the darkness
of Romanism is certainly descending; in a world full of idols,
cruelties, devilries, if the church doth not pray, how shall she excuse
her base neglect of the commission of her loving Lord? Let the church
be constant in supplication, let every private believer cast his mite
of prayer into the treasury.

My Utmost For His Highest : "Faith And Experience"

-/\/\-----------------------------------------------------------------
\ / MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST --

http://www.heartlight.org/
--\/------------------------------------------------------------------

November 13, 2007

FAITH AND EXPERIENCE

The Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me.

Galatians 2:20

http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=ga+2:20&sr=1

We have to battle through our moods into absolute devotion to the
Lord Jesus, to get out of the hole-and-corner business of our
experience into abandoned devotion to Him. Think Who the New
Testament says that Jesus Christ is, and then think of the despicable
meanness of the miserable faith we have - I haven't had this and that
experience! Think what faith in Jesus Christ claims - that He can
present us faultless before the throne of God, unutterably pure,
absolutely rectified and profoundly justified. Stand in implicit
adoring faith in Him, He is made unto us "wisdom, and righteousness,
and sanctification, and redemption." How can we talk of making a
sacrifice for the Son of God! Our salvation is from hell and
perdition, and then we talk about making sacrifices!

We have to get out into faith in Jesus Christ continually; not a
prayer meeting Jesus Christ, nor a book Jesus Christ, but the New
Testament Jesus Christ, Who is God Incarnate, and Who ought to strike
us to His feet as dead. Our faith must be in the One from Whom our
experience springs. Jesus Christ wants our absolute abandon of
devotion to Himself. We never can experience Jesus Christ, nor ever
hold Him within the compass of our own hearts, but our faith must be
built in strong emphatic confidence in Him.

It is along this line that we see the rugged impatience of the Holy
Ghost against unbelief. All our fears are wicked, and we fear because
we will not nourish ourselves in our faith. How can any one who is
identified with Jesus Christ suffer from doubt or fear! It ought to
be an absolute pæan of perfectly irrepressible, triumphant belief.

WJD! -- They Hung on Every Word -- Luke 19:45-48

-/\/\-----------------------------------------------------------------
\ / WHAT JESUS DID! --

http://www.heartlight.org/
--\/------------------------------------------------------------------

Tuesday, November 13, 2007

They Hung on Every Word

Jesus went into the temple area. He began to throw out the
people that were selling things there. Jesus said, "It is
written {in the Scriptures}, 'My house will be a house of
prayer.' But you have changed it into a 'hiding place for
thieves.'" Jesus taught the people in the temple area every
day. The leading priests, the teachers of the law, and some
of the leaders of the people wanted to kill Jesus. But all
the people were listening closely to Jesus. They were very
interested in the things Jesus said. So the leading priests,
the teachers of the law, and the leaders did not know how
they could kill Jesus.

-- Luke 19:45-48 (ERV)

KEY THOUGHT:
Those in power wanted to shut Jesus up; they were so adamant about it,
they plotted to kill him. However, the everyday folks heard the voice
of God in Jesus' words and they hung on every word he said. Our trip
through the Gospel of Luke this year has been based upon our need to
hear the voice of Jesus and to know his ministry first hand. So often
in our world today, people will read a best selling Christian author
before they will read their Bible. They will read books about Jesus
rather than reading the Gospels that the Holy Spirit provided us to
know the story of Jesus. I want to issue you a challenge: join me in
using these last six weeks of this year to read through each of the
Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) at least once. Hang on Jesus'
every word. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you know Jesus more so you can
become like Jesus more completely.

TODAY'S PRAYER:
O righteous and holy Father, God of all creation, please reveal your
Son to me and in me as I seek to know him better in the closing weeks
of this year. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
