    "Many are the woes of the wicked, but the Lord's unfailing love surrounds the man who trusts in Him." Psalm 32:10 This is one of those verses that just causes me to stop dead in my tracks and ponder its significance in my life. I say to myself first, I want to be surrounded by the Lord's unfailing love! I certainly do not want woes surrounding me. Been there! Done that! Don't like that!... Read more »

    Truth is a way of life. In yesterday's devotion we talked about buying truth and not selling it. I would like to continue discussing truth today. When we hear the word truth what is our immediate reaction? Most late 20th and early 21st century people think about philosophy and deeper thought. They think about whose truth (whose perspective) is up for discussion? Finally they will conclude that... Read more »

    "Buy truth and do not sell it; get wisdom, discipline and understanding." (Proverbs 23:23) I am concerned about modern society. To be honest, I am concerned about modern Christianity. We don't seem to have a clue as to what truth is. Matter of fact, we are buying modern societies lie that there is no absolute truth. And as we buy the lie we are losing wisdom, discipline and understanding. It... Read more »

    How far are we willing to go? (Mark 2:4) Some men have a friend that is completely paralyzed. They hear that Jesus is in town so they carry their friend to where Jesus is. When they get there they are faced with an obstacle. The place where Jesus is teaching is so full there is no way for the men to get their friend to Him. What are they going to do? Are they going to go back home and say they... Read more »

    FirmlyRooted1 added a text contribution The Right Question
    The Right Question! I was listening to the Gospel of Mark on my walk with Max and was struck by a question asked of Jesus during His trial before the High Priest. In Mark 14:61, the high priest asks Jesus, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?" And Jesus responds, "I am! And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven."... Read more »

    “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!” Mark 9:24 Jesus had just come down from the mountain after being transfigured before Peter, James and John. He met the disciples who were having trouble ministering to a young demon possessed boy. Jesus begins to talk to the boy’s father asking him about his son’s condition. The father finally replies with, “But if you can do anything, take pity on... Read more »

    "If we are faithless, He remains faithful, because He cannot deny Himself." 2 Timothy 2:13 Have you ever wondered how faithful God is to His promises? Have you ever thought that His promises and blessings were directly connected to your faithfulness and obedience? Have you ever thought about what it would take for God to finally give up on you? Then read the verse again. "...He remains faithful,... Read more »
