Oh the Lord is good and compassionate towards His people. Dueteronomy 24 describes how the people should live and respond to each other in various situations of life. At first glance, you might think its just a list of rules and regulations.
Just reading the chapter you might miss the care God outlines for [...]

Posted on May 1, 2009. Filed under: Bible Devotions, Bible Verses, Daily Devotions, Devotions | Tags: , , , |

But to each one of grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift.  Ephesians 4:7 NKJV
How much grace is that?  All the grace we need.
What is the measure of Christ’s gift?  Well think about Jesus’ life on earth.  What did He go through so we could be forgiven of our sin?

He gave up [...]

Who Are You Controlled By?

Posted on March 25, 2009. Filed under: Bible Devotions, Bible Verses, Daily Devotions, Devotions | Tags: , , , |

Read Ephesians 1 and 2. If you have the time, read both chapters more than once. When I did I noticed the phrase “according to” really started to stand out. Check out these lists below. (Again if you didn’t read it for yourself first, STOP and READ IT before continuing.)
From Ephesians 1 “According [...]

I just wanted to thank you all for praying for my computer.  I also wanted to let you know how God answered our prayers.  I took my computer to work, as I work for a laptop company and know a few techies.

Read Genesis 32
Jacob was returning to his own country, when his messengers came back saying Esau is coming with four hundred men. Remembering what he had done to his brother, Jacob now feared for his life, his wife and his children.
There’s nothing like a little fear or uncertainty to get us praying. That’s what [...]

Whatever God has said to you, do it

Posted on February 17, 2009. Filed under: Bible Devotions, Devotions, bible studies, doer of the word | Tags: , |

When I was reading Genesis 31, verse 16 stuck out like a neon sign. Jacob’s wives Leah and Rachel said, “Whatever God has said to you, do it.” It’s not clear whether either of them really believed in God or not. Jacob was the one who seemed to hear from God.
As I pondered [...]

Read Genesis 29.
You know that saying “what goes around comes around?” Well, Jacob is now getting a taste of his own medicine. Now he knows what it’s like to be deceived by a family member. Guess what? He doesn’t like it.
Have you ever noticed how sometimes we can’t see out own sin until [...]
