Who’s First? -Devotional

Do not worship any other gods besides me. -Exodus 20:3 NLT

Who is in charge of your heart? Is it god, or is it something else? Have you given Christ your heart, your soul, your talents, your time, and your testimony? Or are you giving Him little more than a few hours each Sunday morning?

In the book of Exodus, God warns that we should place no gods before Him. Yet all too often, we place our Lord in second, third, or fourth place as we worship other things. When we unwittingly place possessions or relationships above our love for the Creator, we create big problems for ourselves.

Does God rule your heart? Make certain that the honest answer to this question is a resounding yes. In the life of every radical believer, God comes first. And that's precisely the place that He deserves in your heart.

When all else is gone, God is still left. Nothing changes Him. -Hannah Whitall Smith

To God be the glory, great things He has done; so love He the worls that He gave us His Son. -Fanny Crosby

Today's Prayer

Dear Lord, Your power, like Your love, is infinite. I thank You, Father, for the gift of eternal life through the sacrifice of Your Son Jesus. I will keep the promise of heaven fresh in my heart. And, while I am in this world, I will pass through it with praise on my lips and love in my heart for You. Amen

Ephesians 4:2 (NIV)

[devotionalsinspirations]

This is my favourite song ever to sing. In a sanctuary full of people, men and women singing their parts. It is one of the best things ever to experience!

Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,

2 Timothy 1:9

A Little Tenderness

Who would not wish to leave behind A bit of tenderness, A sum - of their endearing heart And memories to caress.

And too - a wish to be remembered In such a haunting way, For deeds and works of our September As if it were today.

To leave a line to catch the heart A smile, a laugh, a tear, A presence felt as once it was To feel - forever near.

And when we leave this world - prithee - I would hope that one could say He gave a little tenderness- To me - along the way.

-James Joseph Huesgen

Jude 1:21

God’s Presence

One can feel the presence Of God beside the sea, Or in the sylvan setting of a verdant peaceful lea.

Wherever one does venture, There never is a place Where God goes not before us To flood it with His grace.

His love is ever with us, In sunshine and in rain, Upon a lofty mountaintop, Beside a quiet lane.

God's ever gentle presence Brings blessings every day As we go about our duties With true faith along the way.

-Virginia Borman Grimmer

[devotionalsinspirations]

How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?

Matthew 18:12

Lasting Riches

We get caught in life's swift current And we try to stay afloat. When it comes to things that really count I'm afraid we miss the boat. We're so busy making money; Only dollar signs we see. We're unable to appreciate The best in life is free!

Take a look around you; God's beauty is everywhere. People will astound you If you only show you care. Stop and say, "Good morning." And, "How are you today?" Now wait - and hear the answer Before you go your way.

Your day will be much better If you lend a helping hand. You may not make a dollar, But you may have made a friend! And friends can compound interest In the little things you do. Friends bring dividends Your whole life through.

A friend can make you happy, Make your life worthwhile. And the interest you'll be getting Is the sharing of a smile. Friends are all around us; If only we could learn It's friends who makes us rich in life And not how much we earn!

Country People

It's country people, I believe Who are so close to God, For it is they who pioneer The land and work the sod.

Yes, they are very near to Him, Depend on Him for rain, For sunshine, and for strength to till The land and grow their grain.

Ah, country people are the salt Of earth kind, it's been said, And I suppose it's true because We look to them for bread.

-Luther Elvis Albright

[devotionalsinspirations]

But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

Ephesians 2:4-5

[devotionalsinspirations]

Behind the song: “From Me to You” is a letter to God. It’s a plea for Him to totally consume us; it’s our answer to His call to reach out for Him and let Him hold us." - Everyday Sunday
