Ever have one of those days?  Or, one of those years?  Yes, life can be tough, and the world can be brutal, but Christ suffered more for our sake, than most of us ever will.  Today's look at Psalm 50 helps us get a better handle at what the Lord endured for our sake.  Please join us for a devotional that I pray brings joy, peace, and hope.

The prophet Isaiah speaks of the coming servant who would suffer much, even death.  The question still remains, what do we do about what Jesus shared on our behalf?  Are you stronger today in your faith because of it, or have you become jaded to the point of thinking you do not need Jesus to do anything for you?  I pray you listen and be blessed!

Jesus.  What a powerful name.  To know the man behind the name is to know the Savior of the world, and hopefully, the savior of your soul.  Today we look at what the author of Philippians sought to share about the name of Jesus.  Listen and be blessed!

Jesus' entry into Jerusalem signified many things to many people; the question raised today is What does Jesus' entry into Jerusalem mean for you?  Have you welcomed Him as your Lord and Savior?  I pray you will.  And soon!  Listen and be blessed!

The psalmist had a heart of gratitude to the Lord in almost all he wrote.  How do we respond to memories, reminders and other history stories we have experienced?  I pray we too have hearts that can say, "Thank You, God!"  For in doing that, we are participating in worship!  Listen and be blessed; live and be a blessing!

Did car trips from your past make you ask, "Are we there yet?"  Did your kids keep asking that question once you were the parent and chauffeur for the family?  Imagine how God felt as His people asked that and even more annoying questions about this 40 year car ride to the promised land.  Listen and be blessed in this exploration of Numbers 21:4-9.

What marvelous words of life we find in this third chapter of John.  From the famous Nick at Nite encounter Jesus shares one of the most powerful and redemptive verses of the Bible, John 3:16.  Listen and be blessed!

The psalmist had a great way of seeing and understanding life.  How did he have that?  Simple, he knew and trusted God!  His 19th Psalm, in the modern day version language of The Message Bible speaks clearly of life and how we can so easily mess up; but God is always there to forgive us and give us new opportunities to walk with Him.  Listen and be blessed!

How familiar are you with the Big Ten?  No, not the athletic conference, but the big Ten Commandments as found in Exodus 20?  Well, the more familiar you are with them, the more likely you are to keep them and teach them.  Listen to today's devotional and receive a blessing!

We all may have heard the seven last words of Jesus on the cross, and among them are the opening words of verse one of Psalm 22, which makes many think this is a psalm of death and defeat.  It is not!  It is a psalm of victory and praise.  Today's devotional centers on that, and the wonderful good news that God keeps His word, and does what He says!  Listen and be blessed!

God is an amazing God!  God can and does surprise us in marvelous ways?  Are you waiting on Good News?  Or, have you given up hope thinking God no longer can do those kinds of things?  Listen and be blessed; hear and be a blessing to others!

What does God want most from us?  To believe?  Or, to behave?  Hmm.  Listen and make up your own mind!  This is a passage from Paul about that important question; does God save us by our works, or by our faith?

How relevant and powerful is the Bible to you today?  Would you write it off, or cut out the Old Testament?  Would you even go so far as to say it is no longer the word of God?  Listen and be blessed as we hear a view point on that as well as the passage for this coming Sunday as Jesus predicts His death.
