Christian Devotional – November 13, 2017
Money isn’t everything. While most of have heard this statement and believe it is true, that does not stop us from acting like money is everything to us and doing everything we can to gain more and more. As we read Proverbs 23:1-14 we see: Do not weary yourself to gain wealth, Cease from your consideration of it. When you set your eyes on it, it is gone. For wealth certainly makes itself wings Like an eagle that flies toward the heavens. Proverbs 23:4-5 NASB http://bible.com/100/pro.23.4-5.NASB Don’t exhaust yourself trying to gain more money. Don’t make all your decisions based solely on what will give you the most money. Wealth…

Happy Sunday! The Christian devotional for the day today. This online devotional and bible study tool for women and men discusses the next in the Beatitudes on how to live a Blessed life. Matthew 5:8 says, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” What motivates us and why do we do the things that we do. We should be motivated by the love of God in everything, for as we seek to show the love of God, we’ll see God moving and working in every little (and big!) area of our lives. Also, we must be intentional about this. We have to make a choice to…

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 Psalm chapter 63 VERSE: Psalm 63:1–You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you in a dry parched land where there is no water. TRUTH: David was in the desert when he wrote this, so he fully understood being thirsty. He declares that his whole body longs for God. Do we recognize our desperate need for God in every area of our life? He is able to satisfy all our needs, from the most basic to the most complex. RESPONSE: Father, You are my God and my provider. I thirst after You in all things. Keep me focused on…

Read Psalm chapter 60 VERSE: Psalm 60:5–Save us and help us with your right hand, that those you love may be delivered. TRUTH: There are times when I feel guilty about coming to God when I am in need. I start to feel like all I am saying to God is “Help me! Help me!” True, we are to certainly be praising God for who He is and all He does, but one thing He does is save us. It is a lie of Satan that tells us not to bother God with all our problems or that He doesn’t want to help us. God is certainly able to save…

Read Matthew chapter 11 VERSE: Matthew 11:28–Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. TRUTH: This often quoted verse lies sandwiched between some interesting other verses, Right before this verse, Jesus tells the people that they can’t really know God unless they know Him and after this verse Jesus explains that he does have a load that we are to carry, but that load is easy. So how does this verse fit in? The people Jesus was speaking to were used to viewing God as someone who had lots of rules and laws that had to be fulfilled in order to be…

Read 1 Corinthians chapter 8 VERSE: 1 Corinthians 8:9–Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block to the weak. TRUTH: As believers and followers of Christ, this is an important principle. We must be aware of the impression that we give with our actions just as much as our actions themselves. As Christians, we are all given standards by which we determine things to be right or wrong. However, some things, while not intrinsically wrong, are wrong when done in excess. Examples might be drinking alcohol or eating food because we’re instructed not to be drunk and not to exhibit gluttony. In the…

Read Romans chapter 13 VERSE: Romans 13:7–Give to everyone what you owe them. If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor. TRUTH: Are we paying people what we owe them? It can be easy to think only of monetary debts, but this also mentions respect and honor. Are we giving honor and respect to those people who, by virtue of their position, deserve it? Even if their actions are wrong, we can still offer respect for the position that they hold. RESPONSE: Father, I thank You and praise You for the people You have placed in my life. Some of…

VERSE: 1 Kings 2:3–Keep the charge of the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, His commandments, and His testimonies, according to what is written in the law of Moses, that you may succeed in all that you do and wherever you turn. TRUTH: David charged his son Solomon with this just as he was about to die. David had not been perfect, but he had tried to live his life according to these principles. Now he is charging Solomon to do the same. What legacy are we leaving for our children? What will we charge them with when our time on earth is done?…
