Thirty Second Devotions

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)
Karen Gaul (Brain tumors)

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.

Prayer request submitted by Michele DiGiacomo

Please pray for Robert who just found out today he has a tumor on his brain and is the deadly kind. Rob doesn’t know God very well and needs a miracle. They will do surgery in the morning at MD Anderson. Please let a miracle heal him or show him the way home. Thank you

Angela Scales is requesting prayer for her friend Barbara Ragland, who was hospitalized in Fort Worth a couple of days ago for high blood pressure, and problems with her blood sugar due to an infection in her pancreas. Today her blood oxygen level dropped, and she was placed in ICU. Please pray for strength and healing.

Lifted Up 6/24/2009 Devotional

wordinsong | June 24, 2009 19:03

Devotional
It's easy to praise God when you are on top of the mountain and everything is going good, but what do you do when you are in the pits? As Christians, we should praise God at all times, and in everything that we do. It is when we are praising Him, that we are lifted up out of that pit, and placed on higher ground. 
Scripture Reference
Psalm 42:5
Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him
For the help of His countenance.
Action Point
Even when you don't feel like it, praise the LORD. As you lift Him up, you will find yourself being lifted up as well.

Corporate Worship 6/23/2009 Devotional

wordinsong | June 23, 2009 19:54

Devotional
There is nothing like being in a room full of people who are praising the LORD together. As they lift their voices, the walls come down. The things that separate them, are forgotten, and they come together as one with a single purpose. They have come together to lift up and magnify His holy name.
Scripture Reference
Psalm 34:3
Oh, magnify the LORD with me,
And let us exalt His name together.
Action Point
Take time to worship with those around you. Whether at work, at church, or at home, seek those who love the Lord and gather together in His name. Know that there is power in the praises of Gods children.

The God We Know 6/22/2009 Devotional

wordinsong | June 22, 2009 19:54

Devotional
If you talk to most people, they will tell you they believe in God. They know there is a higher power at work in the universe, yet they don't really know who He is. They have all of these other idols they worship, yet there is something missing. C. S. Lewis put it this way. “We all have a God-shaped void inside of us.”
Scripture Reference
Acts 17:23
"for as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you:
Action Point
Do you know Him, or do you just acknowledge the existence of a god. To some people He is the unknown God. As Christians we have a personal relationship with Him. Get to know Him personally.
