Christian Devotional – March 7, 2016
Read Joshua chapter 5 VERSE: Joshua 5:14–“Neither,” he replied, “but as commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.” Then Joshua fell facedown to the ground in reverence, and asked him, “What message does my Lord have for his servant?” TRUTH: Joshua was very focused on the task at hand. He saw the enemy ahead of him and his mind was focused there. Then this might warrior appeared in front of him and automatically he asks, “Are you for us or against us?” The warrior then gives the above response, reminding Joshua that there is more going on in any situation than just the one side verses…

Happy Sunday!! Here is the video Christian devotional for this week. We’re looking at life lessons on parenting and we’re starting today with Rebekah. In this first of two videos on parenting, we learn from Rebekah the danger of favoritism in the family. We see how Rebekah and Isaac’s favoritism of their sons ultimately tore the family apart. As we parent and look to leave a legacy with our children, what will that legacy be?

Read Joshua chapter 4 VERSE: Joshua 4:14–That day the Lord exalted Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they stood in awe of him all the days of his life, just as they had stood in awe of Moses. TRUTH: Often we get so worried about what other people think of us or what our reputation is among others. Quite frankly, God is the one in charge of that. If we are doing the things that we are supposed to be doing and seeking to be obedient to Him, then God will be the one who is in charge of our reputation among others. If we get focused on…

Read Joshua chapter 3 VERSE: Joshua 3:5–Joshua told the people, “Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you.” TRUTH: God looks to us and desires to do great and amazing things among us. The question is, are we ready and prepared for that? Joshua told the people that they were to consecrate themselves or set themselves apart as holy. The Lord is looking to do great and amazing things each and every day, the question becomes, will we be prepared to be a part of it? We must take the time each day to set ourselves apart to be holy before the Lord. That is when…

Read Joshua chapter 2 VERSE: Read Joshua 2:24–They said to Joshua, “The Lord has surely given the whole land into our hands; all the people are melting in fear because of us.” TRUTH: When God has a job for us to do, He will always give us everything that we need to be able to do that job. Sometimes, what we need most is the assurance that we’re doing the right thing. God knows that and He will even provide that for us as well. Joshua was still having difficulty knowing for sure that He was following God, so God continually allowed Him to see and to hear what others…

Read Joshua chapter 1 VERSE: Joshua 1:9–“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” TRUTH: Joshua was facing a monumental task. Moses, the amazing leader of the Israelites had just died and he had the unenviable task of filling his shoes and leading the people of Israel. They weren’t going to be just sticking around where they were, Joshua was leading them on a military crusade to go in and conquer the land that God had promised them. I’m sure Joshua spent many sleepless nights wondering how in the…

Read John chapter 21 VERSE: John 21:6–He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.” TRUTH: The disciples knew that Jesus was alive, but they didn’t really know what to do, so they went back to doing the thing they understood: fishing. However, even that wasn’t working out for them. When they didn’t catch any fish and then this person standing on the shore was able to tell them when and where to cast the net and they caught a net full of fish,…

Read John chapter 20 VERSE: John 20:31–But these were written that you may believe that Jesus in the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. TRUTH: The Bible was written with specific purposes. We know that God had a message to convey to the world and He used people to be able to convey that message. Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the promised Messiah. Through Him, we can experience forgiveness, mercy, and eternal life. Do we believe in His name and as a result receive the gifts that Jesus brings. RESPONSE: Father, I know that You are the…

Today’s video devotional finishes our look at relationships as we study the “ugly” in Life Lessons from Abigail. How do we respond when we want to follow God, but the other person in our relationship doesn’t want to? That’s what Abigail faced and she made the decision to follow God, no matter what her husband did. When we are tempted by others to be disobedient, how will we respond?

Read John chapter 19 VERSE: John 19:22–Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.” TRUTH: As Jesus was being crucified, Pilate wrote a sign and had it placed over his head to tell all the passers-by who this person was who was being crucified. However, the Jews didn’t like what he wrote. Pilate, however, stood by his choice of words. I find it interesting that Pilate was willing to make a stand here regarding what he believed in, but he wasn’t willing to make a stand earlier when he was being pressured to have Jesus crucified. What are we willing to take a stand for? At what point of…
