Christian Devotional – May 19, 2014
Read 1 John chapter 1 VERSE: 1 John 1:3–We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. TRUTH: How do we have fellowship with other believers? Fellowship is not about food or games; fellowship is about sharing what Jesus Christ has done in our life. As we share what we’ve seen and heard Jesus do, we experience true fellowship, not just with other believers, but also with God himself. When was the last time we shared what we’ve seen and heard Jesus do in our life? When…

Read Ecclesiastes chapter 4 VERSE: Ecclesiastes 4:10–If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. TRUTH: We need friends. Yes, the Christian life is a choice that we must make individually, but once we make that choice, we should be looking for someone who can walk with us.

VERSE: Exodus 29:45–Then I will dwell among the Israelites and be their God. TRUTH: God desired to fellowship with the people.

God desires fellowship and relationship even today and He has provided His Son Jesus as a means to have that fellowship. Are we seeking after God to love and fellowship with Him through His Son Jesus Christ? RESPONSE: Father, I desire to have that close fellowship with You. Thank You for making a…

VERSE: 1 Chronicles 19:12–Joab said, “If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you are to rescue me; but if the Ammorites are too strong for you, then I will rescue you.” TRUTH: We are to have each other’s backs. Joab knew he could count on his brother to come to his rescue and he also knew that he would go rescue his brother. Do we depend on your brothers and sisters in Christ to have our backs when we experience difficulties, or do we push people away? Do we come to the rescue of others we see that are hurting or do we just ignore them? RESPONSE: Lord,…

VERSE: 1 Chronicles 12:22–Day after day men came to help David, until he had a great army, like the army of God. TRUTH: David didn’t exactly hang out a recruiting poster, after all, at this point he was a wanted man, marked for death by King Saul. Still, God brought men to his aid and David soon had a mighty army that became the foundation for all that he would accomplish militarily throughout his reign as king. Do we trust God to bring us the people He wants us to have? Do we accept their help or turn them away? RESPONSE: Father, Your plans are the ones I want to…
