Walk Boldly With Jesus

Fix Your Eyes On Jesus Ephesians 2:8-9 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.” This verse is an important one.  It is something I think we forget more than we remember.  At least I know I forget this often.  I do know I am saved because Jesus died on a cross for my sins.  I know I am not...

Mercy Is So Important Jude 1:20-23 “But you, beloved, build yourselves up in your most holy faith; pray in the holy Spirit. Keep yourselves in the love of God and wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. On those who waver, have mercy; save others by snatching them out of the fire; on others have mercy with fear,  abhorring even the outer garment stained by the flesh...

God Has Compassion For You! Isaiah 54:10 “For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed, but my steadfast love shall not depart from you, and my covenant of peace shall not be removed, says the Lord, who has compassion on you.” We received this scripture verse at the Watchmen Prayer Group that I go to on Wednesday mornings. It is at 6:30, and it lasts about half an hour. If you are up ear...

Today’s Witness is from a very dear friend of mine. It is her testimony of how she forgave someone who did the unthinkable to her. She is a wonderful woman who has such a strong love for Jesus. She is a mother of two kids and a wife. She is a photographer, a karate champion, and so much more! You can hear in her voice just how excited she is for this breakthrough. God is so good! We have all seen...

The Lord Rescues You From Them All! Psalm 34:19 “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord rescues them from them all.” I saw this verse, and I wanted to share it with you. In mentoring, we are learning how not take offense at things. In other words, how to not let things bother us as much. The beginning part of this verse is something that doesn’t really seem fair. It says, “Many ar...

And They Laughed At Him Mark 5:38-40 “When they came to the house of the leader of the synagogue, he saw a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly. When he had entered, he said to them, “Why do you make a commotion and weep? The child is not dead but sleeping.” And they laughed at him. Then he put them all outside, and took the child’s father and mother and those who were with him, and went i...

Do Not Fear, Only Believe Mark 5:35-36 “While he was still speaking, some people came from the leader’s house to say, “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the teacher any further?” But overhearing what they said, Jesus said to the leader of the synagogue, “Do not fear, only believe.” I know we covered this story on Tuesday with the devotional that my friend Catherine wrote. However, I can’t help bu...

Why We So Often Feel Justified—and Why Anger Steals Our Peace 1 Peter 2:23 “When he was abused, he did not return abuse; when he suffered, he did not threaten; but he entrusted himself to the one who judges justly.” Offense usually begins with something real, but staying offended slowly costs us our freedom. When we’re offended, it’s not because we’re imagining things. Someone said something hurtf...

Praise Series #30 To Him Be The Glory Forever! Romans 11:36 “For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever. Amen.” I thought this would be a great verse to end this praise series because it is an excellent reminder of all we have to be thankful for. I looked this verse up on the Enduring Word Commentary website, and this is what I found… “Of Him and through Hi...

Praise Series #29 The Song of Moses Exodus 15:1 “Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord: “I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously; horse and rider he has thrown into the sea.” I thought this was a good verse to remind us that praise and worship is not just good when we are in need of God’s help. It is also really important to praise and worship the Lord when He c...

He Worshiped Judges 7: 15-18 “When Gideon heard the telling of the dream and its interpretation, he worshiped; and he returned to the camp of Israel, and said, “Get up; for the Lord has given the army of Midian into your hand.” After he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and put trumpets into the hands of all of them, and empty jars, with torches inside the jars, he said to them,...

Today’s Witness Wednesday is from a friend named Gisele. We were in a prayer group last Wednesday morning, and she was sharing a testimony about how the Lord came and helped her out of a jam when she was on vacation. God is so good! Take it away, Gisele! We have all seen God working in our lives. However, maybe not everyone is aware that it is God who is working within us. That’s why it’s so impor...

He Played His Lyre, and The Evil Spirit Would Leave! 1 Samuel 16:23 “Whenever the spirit from God came on Saul, David would take up his lyre and play. Then relief would come to Saul; he would feel better, and the evil spirit would leave him.” When I heard about this verse, I loved it because it shows us another example of the power of music. When David played his lyre, the evil spirit would leave...

Praise Series #26 Johan Saved From Deep Dark Pit! Jonah 2:7-9 “When my life was ebbing away, I remembered you, Lord, and my prayer rose to you, to your holy temple. “Those who cling to worthless idols turn away from God’s love for them. But I, with shouts of grateful praise, will sacrifice to you. What I have vowed, I will make good. I will say, ‘Salvation comes from the Lord.’” I was looking onli...

Praise Series #25 Delight In The Lord Psalm 37:4 “Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” Have you ever thought about taking delight in the Lord?  I am sure this is not the only time this idea is presented in the Bible.  Actually there are more than 10 instances in the Bible where it talks about taking delight in the Lord or in His law.  I have never thought of t...

Praise Series 24: There is Joy in Our Trials James 1:2-4 “My brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of any kind, consider it nothing but joy, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance; and let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking in nothing.” This verse doesn’t talk about praise, but it does say we should consider our hard...

 Today’s Witness Wednesday is a story I read on Facebook today. I felt it was a great example of how God works through people and brings them together in the most unusual ways. We might not always understand what God is doing, or why He has brought certain people into our lives, but He always has a plan. The plan might not unfold for years, but one day it will make sense. I am sure the biker in th...

Praise Series #23 Garment of Praise Instead of a Spirit of Despair Isaiah 61:3 “And provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.” What drew me to this verse is the...

Praise Series #22 His Love Endures Forever Psalm 136 “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever. Give thanks to the God of gods.  His love endures forever.   Give thanks to the Lord of lords: His love endures forever. To him who alone does great wonders, His love endures forever. Who, by his understanding, made the heavens, his love endures forever. who spread out the earth...

We have all seen God working in our lives, however, we might not all be aware it is God who is working in our lives.  This is why it is so important we start talking about it more.  The more we share our experiences the more people understand how God works and how much He truly loves us.  If you would be willing to share any experience you have had of how God has worked or is working your life, pl...

I Will Rejoice In The Lord Habakkuk 3:17-18 “Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.” Talk about a bad day.  This verse is from a time when the people relied very heavily on cr...

Praise Series #20 Rejoice in the Lord Always! Philippians 4:4 “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!” Rejoicing in the Lord is one of my favorite things to do. Praise and Worship are so critical in our faith journey. Rejoicing in the Lord is a great way to foster joy. This is something that I love to use to get me out of a funk or a sad place. This works anywhere and everywhere...

Chocolate Milk John 20:21-22 “Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. This verse takes place after Jesus has been crucified. The apostles are all locked up in the upper room because they are afraid that if the Jewish people knew where they were, they would be cruc...
