Devot. Sanctity of Life/Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Hi Folks,

 

I hope you are having a good week!  

 

This past Sunday and Monday (1/19 and 1/20) were two important days in America:   Sanctity of Life Sunday and Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday.  Both are vitality important to acknowledge!

Scripture commands us to honor and protect all life, born and unborn, old and young.  

Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy as a pastor and civil rights activist left a powerful impact on America's history.

I have a few links below in both regards: Two powerful "Sanctity of Life" videos to remind us of the value of an unborn baby's life  in the sight of God.  Both were my 'favorites', very thought provoking to watch.  I would really encourage you to watch both.  I also have 2 devotionals on MLK Jr..

Pray you have a very blessed week!

Devot. Life Verse/Word for the Year

Hi Folks,

I hope you are having a good week! 

 

I have two devotionals below and they tie into each other.

 

Have you ever had a verse in Scripture speak to your heart, like you felt it was specially there for you at the time you needed it the most?  Maybe you heard a verse of Scripture and you through, "I love that!!! That is encouraging!"  Or "It speaks to where I am spiritually right now, or what I need to spiritually challenge me to grow closer to the Lord!"

This is what is called in the Christian circles, "A Life Verse", a verse that you pick that speaks to where you are spiritually at the time, 

a verse that gives you courage to live for the Lord, that describes your life or walk with the Lord.

Do you have one????  Mine is Ephesians 6:10, "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might."

 

This verse has reminded me for years that I cannot live a godly, pure life for the Lord in my own strength, I will fall flat on my face if I try in my own strength, but Jesus has promised to give me His strength ("in the power of his might") to live for Him. 

 

The first devotional will give you a challenge to find a "Life Verse" to cling to or live by in 2020. 

The 2nd devot. is similar.   It challenges you using a quiz, to find one word from Scripture that again, you can live by and hang onto in the New Year that will remind you to have courage, be humble or whatever it is that the Lord knows you need this year.

 

I think both devots. are spiritually practical as well as very exciting as you make Scripture come alive in your life!

 

May you are blessed by both these devots.  Lord bless you and yours!

Devots. Wisdom, Rest and Peace

Hi Folks,

I hope you are having a good week!!! 

 

Below are 3 assorted devots. for you.  Pick the one that most applies to your life this week.   

~Do you need wisdom from the Lord??  

 

~Do you still feel worn out after Christmas, feel you need a vacation or break from the nuttiness that may have already entered the beginning of this year?

 

~Do you wish to have the Lord's peace in your life?   

James 1:5-6, " If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.  But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.

Jesus said in Matthew 11:28-30, "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

Philippians 4:7 states, "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;  and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."

I pray that the devotionals will  encourage you this week in whatever situation you are in or find yourself.  May the Lord watch over you and your this week!
