Thirty Second Devotions

Church Work 7/3/2009 Devotional

wordinsong | July 03, 2009 20:21

Devotional

As Christians, we need to be serving in the body of Christ. We were not called to sit in the pew. We do however need to make sure that we are keeping our focus on Jesus. Often times we get so busy doing His work, that we forget to worship Him. We focus on what needs to be done, and not on Him.

Scripture Reference

Luke 10:40

But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, "Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me."

Action Point
In your busy schedule, take time to worship. Let Christ be at the center of all that you do. Don't be afraid to say no. It is better to do a few things well, then to do lots of things without giving it your best.

Recipe For Revival 7/2/2009 Devotional

wordinsong | July 02, 2009 20:31

Devotional

What does the word revival mean? It simply means to take something that is dead, and make it alive again. Many people, and churches today fit this description. Many are spiritually dead, and are in need of revival. They are no longer seeking God, but instead are seeking after the things of this world.

Scripture Reference

2nd Chronicles 7:14

"if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

Action Point

As Christians, we need to humble ourselves, and seek God. We need to have the mind set that revival starts with me. Yes we need to pray for revival in the church, and in the nation, but it starts by making it personal.

When God Laughs 7/1/2009 Devotional

wordinsong | July 01, 2009 18:21

Devotional

Someone once told me that if you want to see God laugh, just tell Him your plans. I found out they were right. The truth is, that God had a plan for my life. Even when I was living in sin, God knew the man that I would become. Even when I didn't believe in myself, God knew from the beginning the plans He had for me.

Scripture Reference

Psalm 139:16

Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.

Action Point
When things aren't going the way you plan, remember that God may be up to something. That little distraction might lead to an awesome opportunity to serve Him.

Called Again 6/30/2009 Devotional

wordinsong | June 30, 2009 18:57

Devotional

Have you ever tried to run from God's calling on your life? When God told Jonah the first time to go to Nineveh, he ran. It was his choice, but look what it got him. He ended up in the belly of a big fish. When we run from God, He has a way of getting our attention and steering us in the right direction. What will your response be when God comes to you a second time?

Scripture Reference

Jonah 3:1-2

Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the second time, saying, "Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach to it the message that I tell you."

Action Point

When God calls you, what will your response be? Will you heed the call, or will you run? God has called and equipped you for a purpose. Trust God, and leave the details to Him. He will give you the words to say, and direct your feet in the right direction.

Prayer Requests

Please pray for Robbie, Pat, and Annabelle who have stage 4 cancer.

Pray for the family of Laurie Ruff who went to be with the Lord on June 4th

In His Name 6/29/2009 Devotional

wordinsong | June 29, 2009 19:32

Devotional
There is power in the name of Jesus. Power to heal, power to forgive, and power to save. Over 5000 had heard and believed the gospel. They saw a man lame from birth get up and walk, and many other wonders and signs were done through the apostles. By what power or by what name? It was in the name of Jesus.

Scripture Reference
Acts 4:7
And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, "By what power or by what name have you done this?"

Action Point
There is power in His mighty name. As you go to the Lord in prayer, remember that it is not by our power, but by His power.

Prayer Requests
Brian Lundgren (Prostate cancer and kidneys shutting down)
Judy Eckert (Battling cancer in several areas of her body)
Conner McDougall (Spinal Injury)
Robert Wood (In a medically induced coma)
Barbara Ragland (In the hospital with blood pressure, and blood sugar issues)

Facing Adversity 6/28/2009 Devotional

wordinsong | June 28, 2009 20:03

Devotional

What is your response to adversity? Job makes a good point.We praise God when things are going good, but when things are not going the way we plan, we try to blame God. The fact is God will often times allow adversity in our lives. It is during these times that we need to place our trust in the plan that God has for us.

Scripture Reference

Job 2:10

But he said to her, "You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?" In all this Job did not sin with his lips.

Action Point

Thank God for the adversity as well as the victory. It is through adversity that our faith grows. Trust in the plans that God has for you. The adversity may just be a blessing in disguise.

Bound By Love 6/27/2009 Devotional

wordinsong | June 27, 2009 20:28

Devotional

As Christian men, we are to love and honor our wives. Marriage is a partnership where the two become one. Though the wife is the weaker vessel, she completes the man with a strong bond that is not easily broken. When they are living in harmony with each other, their lives are in tune with God, and their prayers will not be hindered.

Scripture Reference

1st Peter 3:7

Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.

Action Point
Take time today to strengthen the bond of love with your spouse. Remember that a family that prays together stays together.

By Faith 6/26/2009 Devotional

wordinsong | June 26, 2009 20:35

Devotional

The one thing that we all have in common, is that we all have sinned. We are all under the same condemnation. The one thing that sets us as Christian apart from everyone else is our faith in Jesus Christ. It is through faith that we believe in Jesus, and by faith we receive the free gift of salvation..

Scripture Reference

Galatians 3:22

But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

Action Point

As a Christian, you can rest in the knowledge that you have been forgiven. The price has been paid, the work has been done.

Already Been Done 6/25/2009 Devotional

wordinsong | June 25, 2009 19:34

Devotional
Many people believe that the way to heaven is by being a good person. The fact is, without Jesus, we are all sinners in Gods sight. No matter how hard we try on our own, we can't please God. It is only through the blood that was shed on Calvary that we are able to enter into His presence.

Scripture Reference
Ephesians 2:13
But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

Action Point
Go boldly before the throne of God, knowing that as believers, we are covered by the blood of Jesus. We don't have to work for our salvation, because the work has already been done.

Prayer Request

wordinsong | June 25, 2009 07:14

Submitted by Janice Brown

This just in from a family member whose friend Robert Wood, 25, is in a medically induced coma in a Dallas hospital as a result of anesthesia issues and complications during a routine knee surgery one week ago.
After the surgery, when they were removing his breathing tube, they mistakenly pushed food that was in his stomach, in to his lungs. They then tried to correct that by flushing out his lungs to remove the food. Due to that procedure, his lungs were damaged and he was put in to a medically induced coma to give his lungs time to heal. The concern now, is that they are not able to bring him out of the coma and are talking about neurological damage to his brain.
His parents are with him and asking for prayer for their son.
Thanks for praying for Robert.
