“For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power.” Colossians 2:9-10 “Jesus Christ is made to me, All I need, all I need, He alone is all my plea, He is all I need. Wisdom, righteousness and pow’r, Holiness forevermore, My redemption full and sure, He is all I need.” The words of this song have been on my mind as I prepared to write this devotional. I have not heard it in a long time, but it is as relevant to…
“It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:22-23 “Great is Thy faithfulness!” “Great is Thy faithfulness!” Morning by morning new…
“Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance. In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted. For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn…

“When I felt my feet slipping, you came with your love and kept me steady.” Psalms 94:18 CEV I have seen a recurring theme in my devotion time lately, and that is love. In moments of struggle, pain and hurt my mind does not automatically assume I need love. Nor do I feel as though I need love, but perhaps healing, restoration or even deliverance. In moments when we are weak and weary, God sends His love to keep us steady. This understanding completely changed the way I view what I think I need in those seasons. I need His…
“And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you? They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened. So, Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.” Matthew 20:32-34. It would have been wonderful to have walked beside these two men who had been blind and now could see. For the first time, they were walking into Jerusalem without needing someone to guide them. They were viewing things they had only heard of before. Everything was new and special…
I was blessed to have a godly, praying mother. Not everyone can say that. Many come from broken homes of abuse or neglect or maybe just a general disregard for the things of God. My mother came to know Jesus in her twenties. I was born after she had walked with God for nearly twenty years. She had a love and passion for the truth of God’s Word that extended over all those years until she passed in her nineties. I had the privilege of hearing my mother call my name in prayer daily. I was also taken (dragged!) to…
“Who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” (I Timothy 2:4, NKJV) I have friends who are leaving soon for an undisclosed country where the gospel is severely restricted. For those of us who have the freedom to openly share our salvation experience with others, it’s difficult to imagine how many lack that freedom. Some may be worshiping secretly or have no place to worship. As I do my daily Bible reading, I realize this is a privilege as well. I have numerous print versions as well as Bible phone apps that…
