God’s Messengers

1 Min Read

And He said to them, Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. (Mark 16:15-16, Holy Bible, New King James).

Jesus instructed a small group of disciples to spread the Gospel to the entire world. They accomplished the task without a personal trainer or a “how-to” travel workshop. Jesus and his disciples walked to Samaria. Phillip caught a ride in a nonbeliever’s chariot. Apostle Paul journeyed by ship.

Since that commandment, missionaries have traveled by every conceivable mode of transportation from jets to snow skis. Today, I share the Gospel via computer. It’s your opportunity—your responsibility—to be God’s messenger and pass it on.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, bless each one who receives Your Gospel and passes it on to others. Amen.

God’s Decisions

1 Min Read

Oh, how great are God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his ways! (Romans 11:33, Holy Bible, New Living Translation).

When unexpected things bring abrupt changes to my life, I question whether I have made a wrong turn in my Christian journey. Then I realize it is a crossroads, a divine interception, designed by God. In His infinite wisdom, He has recognized my need when I cannot choose the right plan for my future.

Prayer: Eternal God, I don’t understand the detours You have placed in my life,but I know this is the path You have chosen for me. Amen.

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.” (Proverbs 3:5-6, Holy Bible, New King James Version)

When you need answers, where do you go? In our high technology world, it’s easy to key in a question online and view a list of responses. Clicks on social media websites connect you to online friends who offer their advice. You accept what others say—what sounds good—only to have your expectations crushed when you’ve placed your confidence in unreliable sources.

The writer of this proverb offers a triangle of advice. Don’t trust what you know. Put God first. Wait for His direction.

Prayer: Lord, You have all the answers. No matter what others says, I will trust in You for direction.

Micah 7:8 “Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness the Lord shall be a light unto me.” I have always read this scripture incorrectly. For some reason, I always made “enemy” plural. I would read it in my mind…
