A weekly Devotional - Walking - The Will of God

The Devotional


Psalm 32:1-5 - I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,” And You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah

David's words of hopeful, he has confident resolve that reconciliation will happen in his heart. He has gone beyond the limit of God's protective Will and he seeks forgiveness; Transgression is going beyond the limit of obedience to the Will of God. The result has placed a storm of discipline from God over David. His acknowledgement and contrite confession to the LORD removes the transgression and his iniquity and sins are forgiven.

Commentary: As children of God by faith in Christ we should be aware that to have fellowship with our Father God we must walk in the newness of life (The Holy Spirit is a major fact of that newness; John 14:15-18). Sin cripples our relationship with the Father by grieving the Holy Spirit who indwells us. Lying as well as anger, as the apostle Paul reveals in Ephesians are the primary deeds of the flesh that destroy fellowship with with God the Father and our brothers and sisters in Christ - Ephesians 4:25-32.

Being in Christ we are to walk in the Light, God is Light, in Him there is NO darkness and if we say that we have fellowship with Him, but are living a lie, or having an angry countenance over  someone or some circumstance, then we are not practicing the truth, we are walking in darkness. We are exhorted to walk in Love, Light and Wisdom, Ephesians 5:1-21. Notice too, that our daily walk reveals itself in the home and in our church. Ephesians 5:22-33.

We are children of God; look intently therefore, at the manner of love that the Father has placed on us, that we should be called His Child, 1 John 2:28-3:1-3. The world does not know this love and is 'helpless' to abide in the Light of the Father. The world abides in 'love for the world' which is darkness and this darkness is the lie and anger of the devil (John 8:44). We ought daily, to meditate on the grace of God that has appeared to all, teaching us to deny ungodliness. Titus 2:11-15.

He rose from this death; He is alive again . The apostle Paul writes, “For I deliver to you first of all that which I also received that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose

The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 169 Luke 14:7-14 - So He told a parable to those who were invited, when He noted how they chose the best places, saying to them: “When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in the best place, lest one more honorable than you be invited by him; “and he who invited you and him come and say to you, ‘Give place to this man,’ and then you begin with shame to take the lowest place. “But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may say to you, ‘Friend, go up higher.’ Then you will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you. “For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted. Then He also said to him who invited Him, “When you give a dinner or a supper, do not ask your friends, your brothers, your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid. “But when you give a fea

The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 161.1 SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:   Luke 12:1-5 There were present at that season some who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answered and said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. “Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem? “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.” Jesus, the Christ of God/Messiah An excerpt from yesterday’s devotional: In our passage, the point of the LORD is not that of being a newscaster but placing the death of these people beyond human judgment, in fact; Jesus does not look at the death of human beings as we do. All humans, past present and future will die a ph
