Scripture
Psalm 119:105
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
Devotional
We need to be led by the word of God. When we take a road trip, we use a map to find our way. In our relationship with Jesus, we need the Word of God to lead the way. We can't do it our way. Only one road leads to eternal life, and that is Jesus.
Action Point
Read the road map that God has given us.

Scripture
Ephesians 2:13
But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
Devotional
Through Jesus we are redeemed. When we receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior we are making a u-turn. As we turn from sin, we make a 180 degree turn towards God.
Action Point
Make a new beginning. Turn from sin and turn towards God.

Scripture
Luke 6:38
"Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you."
Devotional
God wants us to give of ourselves daily. We are not just to give money, but we are to give of our time, and talents. When we give of ourselves we are going to be blessed. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over.
Action Point
Take time to give of yourself to others. Be a blessing, and receive a blessing.

Scripture
Ruth 2:12
"The LORD repay your work, and a full reward be given you by the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings you have come for refuge."
Devotional
There is a reward for the faithful. I am not talking about a prosperity gospel, but about the crown of glory we will receive when we get to Heaven. Ruth was faithful to her mother-in-law, and her works were well known. She sought refuge in the fields owned by Boaz, and was repaid generously.
Action Point
Be a person of faith. God will repay you. One day you may hear the words "Well done thy good and faithful servant."
Prayer Request

Merry Christmas

I want to wish you all a very merry Christmas. This been a year filled with many blessings. I began this ministry in May, and have learned a lot, as I am sure many of you have as well. I currently have 60 people who receive these devotions via e-mail and several others via my blog site. I was also licensed as a Baptist minister in August.
I pray that God will continue to bless this ministry, and everyone that is touched by it. Please continue to pray for this ministry.
I will not be sending out devotions again till the 26th, so have a safe and a merry Christmas.
God bless

Scripture
Luke 2:15
So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, "Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us."
Devotional
The invitation is still open to all. Come to Bethlehem and see. Come to Jesus. He is Emanuel (God with us). He came to save us from our sins. He came to pay the price. All we need to do is to come to Him.
Action Point
Come and worship the new born King. Come to Jesus.
