When my wife knows we have company coming, she makes sure the house looks perfect. She tries to make sure every spot is cleaned, and every thing is in its place.

Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless;

A New Creation 3/8/2010 Devotional

wordinsong | March 08, 2010 19:57

As Christians, we can put our past behind us and look forward to a brand new future.

When you receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior you become His new creation, created in His likeness.
Scripture Reference
2nd Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

No Small Parts 3/7/2010 Devotional

wordinsong | March 07, 2010 20:06

Devotional
Growing up, I was involved in community theater. They would always say, there is no such thing as a small part. Each actor, singer, stage hand, light designer, and even the person at the ticket booth had an important role in the production, and each were equally important. We all have an important role in the body of Christ as well. There are no small parts in the church. Each and every person is important, and valued.
Scripture Reference
1st Corinthians 12:22-23
No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary. And those members of the body which we think to be less honorable, on these we bestow greater honor; and our unpresentable parts have greater modesty,
Action Point
Do your part in the body of Christ. Let the Lord lead you in how, and where you serve. Remember that we all have a part in God's plan.

wordinsong | March 06, 2010 21:13

Devotional
To those who call on the name of Jesus, He will open the door for us to come into His kingdom. We always have an open invitation. The question is will we receive it. When we receive it, the door will be opened and no one can shut it. If we are in Christ, our salvation is secure.
Scripture Reference
Revelation 3:8
"I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name. 
 

Action Point
Accept the invitation. Just like a good neighbor, the door is always open, and He is always happy to hear from you.

Study The Word 3/5/2010 Devotional

wordinsong | March 05, 2010 20:04

Devotional
As Christians, we need to hold true to what the Bible teaches. We can't just take bits and pieces and interpret them to fit our needs. We all have had people say "well this is what I believe!" When it comes to the Bible, there is no room for debate. The word of God is true and complete. You can't take verses out of context to make it fit your beliefs.
 
 
Scripture Reference
John 7:18
"He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him.


Action Point
Be diligent in studying the Word of God. Don't add to it, and don't take away from it. Examine what is being taught and rely on the full council of God.

wordinsong | March 04, 2010 18:27

Devotional
God cannot tempt us with evil. God, however will sometimes allow us to be tested, and tried. It is Satan, who will often times lead us astray. This petition would be better translated as Lord, don't let me go down the wrong path, but if I do, help deliver me out of the situation.


 
Scripture Reference
Matthew 6:13
And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

 

 Action Point
When you find yourself in the midst of trials and tribulations, remember that there is a way of deliverance. When the flesh has failed you, call on the name of the Lord, and He will bring you through.

Teach Us To Pray Pt 5 3/2/2010 Devotional

wordinsong | March 02, 2010 18:54

Devotional
When the Israelites were wandering in the desert, God provided manna each day for them to eat. In the same manner, we are to look to God to provide for our daily needs. This should be a reminder that we need God each and every day.
 

Scripture Reference
Matthew 6:11
Give us this day our daily bread.
 

Action Point
Are you trusting in God to provide your daily needs, or are you trusting in people, jobs, and money? All these other things are not guaranteed, but God will always provide what you need. Give us this day our daily bread. Trust that God will provide.

Teach Us To Pray Pt 4 3/1/2010 Devotional

wordinsong | March 01, 2010 18:55

Devotional
So many times we want things done our way. We want it, and we want it now... When we go to God in prayer, we need to realize that it is not our will that is important. Remember that God hears our prayers, but sometimes the answer is not the one we want.
 
 
Scripture Reference
Matthew 6:10
Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.


Action Point
As you pray, seek His will. Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane, Mt 26:39b  "O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will." God doesn't always answer yes. Sometimes it is no, or not yet.
