The Devotional


Psalm 37:3-4 Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and feed on the LORD and His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the LORD and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Please read and meditate on the entire Psalm 37:1-36.

COMMENT: Many young people during May and June are graduating from high school, trade school, colleges and universities. Nearly ninety percent of these young people will never use their newly acquired talents to full potential in the remaining years of their life. They will assume “bad luck” and “missed opportunity” the main reasons for this failure. Others will chalk it up to fate, personal failure and other false observations connected to life; the reason...
We do not know how to trust in the LORD because we have not heard of or ever called upon Him or sought Him. Many have never seen the inside {pages) of a Holy Bible. (I was past the age of twenty) Therefore, we do not understand that we can “feed” our soul on the Living Word and get to personally know the life-giving relationship with God that He offers; only available in the Holy Bible. We do not understand that the delightful Character of the LORD provides opportunity for us to use our human training, talents and good character for His Glory. A character that is FIRST pleasing to God and secondly, pleasing to mankind. (Matthew 22:34-40)
This Psalm of David is one for the young and old person to memorize, not in a rote way but in a devotion to the LORD way. Young people who are searching for true joy and happiness in life will find it when they pursue the Righteousness of God revealed in this Psalm. A righteousness not of our own human strength or achievement. But, the True Righteousness, only found in Christ Jesus (Messiah) who is the Lamb of God (John 1:29-34).
By trusting God and making the decision to put your personal faith in the comforting shadow of God’s Wings, you will find that God will abundantly satisfy you and those in your household; see Acts 16:25-34. God will allow you to drink from the river of His appointed pleasure. For He will direct your path (Psalm 119:105). While the rivers of this SIN cursed world will be around you, God who will never fail you will be the ONLY source to the fountain of His pleasure and the Light, the Christ to always satisfies.

The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 203 Luke 21:7   –   So they asked Him, saying, “Teacher, but when will these things be? And what sign will there be when these things are about to take place?” Matthew 24:3 – Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” Mark 13:4 – “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign when all these things will be fulfilled?” Jesus, the Christ of God/Messiah Yesterday we looked briefly at the First coming of the LORD Jesus, born of the virgin Mary, suffered and crucified, killed by the power of sin of which we all had and have a part in. 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

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
