Devotions
Effort or Revelation?
The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law. Deuteronomy 29:29 NKJV
Have you ever been stuck in needing to know something? There’s a situation happening in your life and you have this unrelenting [...]
The Compassionate God of Old Testament
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 [...]
The Measure of Christ’s Gift
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 [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )Prayer of Repentance
The following prayer was inspired based on the teaching of Pastor Rick Warren of Saddleback Church’s Sunday Sermon April 26, 2009.
To you, O Lord, be the glory forever and ever. You God desire us to love you completely, to love you with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. Until we learn to do [...]
Who Are You Controlled By?
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 [...]

Well, God made sure I hooked up with just the skilled person He intended. [...]
Prayer Request
Loyal ThinkOnIt Bible Devotion readers I need your help.
Over the weekend my computer was attacked resulting in the loss of family photos, three years of devotions, various Bible Studies, all the non-profit documentation, all website management files, and even program files. Literally everything disappeared.
Please pray the data is recovered, so God gets the glory for [...]
Uncertainty Prompts Prayer
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
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 [...]
The Golden Rule is the Best Way to Treat Others
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 [...]
