                                             "What's For Dinner?

 Dear friends,
I'm sorry to be so early with the devotional for tomorrow but I will be leaving early in the morning for San Antonio for our friend Richard (Flip Flop) Hawkins funeral. But I didn't want to leave without sending you a daily devotional. Thank you for being understanding.Please read Genesis 22:1-12

It came to pass...
that God tested
Abraham, and said
to him, "Abraham!"
And he said,
"Here I am."  Genesis 22:1

Giving God the leftovers of our lives speaks volumes about His true worth to us. When God asked Abraham to give Isaac back to Him as an act of worship, Genesis 22:1 calls it a test. A test to see if there was anything in his life that he treasured more than God. It's no different for us. There are times when God requires something really important to get His work done. He'll ask us to give up our natural instincts to seek revenge so that we can communicate His forgiving love by forgiving our enemies. He may call us to sacrifice portions of our time or money or comforts to advance His cause. Or He may require us to allow our sons and daughters to go to a far off land to tell others about His saving love. The way we respond to what He requires says volumes about how we really feel about Him. Anyone can offer the leftovers. Only those who love God more than anything else will serve up the very best
for Him.

Take up Thy cross and follow Me,
I hear the blessed Savior call;
How can I make a lesser sacrifice
When Jesus gave His all?

No sacrifice we make is too great
for the One who sacrificed His all.

 God Bless.

                                                   "Path To Humility"
Good morning friends,
Please read Psalm 131

Humble yourselves in
the sight of the Lord
and He will lift you up.  James 4:10

In response to the accusation of treason made by Saul's men, David stated he didn't consider himself so important nor think of himself so highly as to have "lofty" eyes.Instead, David learned to be like a "weaned child" in the Lord's arms (Psalm 131:2). Like a baby who is completely dependent on his parents, he waited on God for His protection while he was a fugitive under King Saul's pursuit. In his darkest hour, David realized his need and then advised his people: "Hope in the Lord from this time forth and forever" (Psalm 131:3). The path to humility is twofold. It involves knowing who we are, having a proper self-esteem rather than thinking too highly of oneself. But most important, it requires knowing who God is, holding Him in highest esteem and trusting Him for His best in His time.

Humility's a slippery prize
That seldom can be won;
We're only humble in God's eyes
When serving like His Son.

When we think we're humble, we're not.

God Bless.

                                                               "Learning From Lincoln"

  Good morning friends,
Please read Proverbs 3:1-8

The day before his 52nd birthday, Abraham Lincoln left Sringfield, Illinois, to become president of the United States. With the threat of civil war looming, he said goodbye to friends and neighbors who had come to see him off. In his speech to them before he left he said,"Without the assistance of the Divine Being who ever attended him, I cannot succeed. With that assistance I cannot fail.trusting in Him who can go with me, and remain with you, and be everywhere for good, let us confidently hope that all will yet be well. To His care commending you, as I hope in your prayers you will commend me, I bid you an affectionate farewell." Lincoln's reliance on God for guidance and strength reflects the instruction of Solomon: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths" (Proverbs 3:5-6). On this 200th anniversary of Lincoln's birth, we celebrate his kindness, integrity, and courage. And we can also learn from him how to face a daunting future with confident hope in the Lord.

Into His hands I lay the fears that haunt me,
The dread of future ills that may befall;
Into His hands I lay the doubt that taunts me,
And rest securely, trusting Him for all.

Living without trust in God,
is like driving in the fog.

Have a great day and God Bless.

                                                     "Enduring Love"

 Good morning friends,
Please read 1 Corinthians 13:1-8

Love bears all things,
believes all things
hopes all things,
endures all things. 1 Corinthians 13:7

Paul's great essay in 1 Corinthians 13 celebrates the depth and tenacity if the love that carries us beyond self-interest and mere affection. "Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes in all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails" (verses 4-8). When our commitments are tested in the fires of life, no matter what difficulties we face, may God grant us a greater experience of His enduring love and the grace to demonstrate it each day. Brian Wren has captured this reality in his moving hymn, "When Love Is Found":
                                         When love is tried as loved ones change,
                                          Hold still to hope though all seems strange,
                                          Till easr returns, and love grows wise,
                                          Through listening ears and opened eyes.

God's love is a fabric that never fades,
no matter how often it is washed in
the water if adversity.

Where there is love,
there is God also.

God Bless.

                                                        "Written in Red"

  Good morning friends,
Please read 1 John 4:7-19

God has sent His only
begotten Son into the
world, that we might
live through Him.  1 John 4:9

Jesus' purpose in coming to earth as a Man was to die, to be sacrificed, to give His life for ours. God's plan was written in red, written with "the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot" (1 Peter 1:19). Those of us who have accepted God's gift of love are called to be "letters" to those who don't know Him. We are epistles of Christ "written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God" (2 Corinthians 3:3). Long before a day in February was set aside to celebrate love, the world received a love letter, and that changed everything (John 3:16).

If you'd like to know the love of God the father
Come to Him through Jesus Christ, His loving Son;
He'll forgive your sins and save your soul forever,
And you'll love forevermore this faithful One.

Nothing speaks more clearly of God's love
than the cross of Jesus Christ.

God Bless you, my sweethearts. Happy Valentine's Day!

I would be honored to keep you in my prayers and I will be praying for your family as well. May the Lord go with you and place His hand of protection to keep you covered. I am thankful that we have someone like yourself that makes the ultimate sacrifice for others and fights to keep our country safe. Here is a scripture just for you, my Brother: "The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms." Deuteronomy 33:27. God Bless you, Brother and your family.
Love,

                                                         "Drift"
 
   Good morning friends,
Please read Hebrews 2:1-9

We must give the more
earnest heed to the
things we have heard,
lest we drift away.  Hebrews 2:1

The Bible has provided us with warning signs about drifting from the safety of God's Word, such as stated in the scripture above in Hebrews 2:1. When we don't cling to God's Word through study and reflection, it's easy to drift. Like a swift stream, the attractions of this fallen world draws us toward sin. But as we meditate on Scripture and seek the Holy Spirit's guidance, we learn the reality of our spiritual anchor and are kept secure, even in the dangers of the world's current.

The Bible stands like a rock undaunted
Mid the raging storms of time;
Its pages burn with the truth eternal,
And they glow with a light sublime.

The compass of God's Word will
keep you from spiritual shipwreck.

 Please remember to keep our Brother, DLaws and his family in our prayers as he goes back into the war zone to fight for our country to keep us safe. Thank you and God Bless.

                                                      "The Answers"

  Good morning friends,
Please read 1 John 3:1-9

Beloved, now we are
children of God.  1 John 3:2

Are you ever perplexed by these questions? Who am I? Where am I going? What a comfort it is to have  God's authoritative answers in the Bible. Who are we? In 1 John 3:2, John call his readers, "children of God." We become His children by receiving Jesus as our Savior from sin (John 1:12). And where are we going? John 14:1-6 tells us tht one day He will receive us into a home He is preparing in Heaven. Our Maker is not only the Author of science and history, but He writes the story of every member of Adam's family, yours and mine. We can trust His answers.

Open my ears, that I may hear
Voices of truth Thou sendest clear;
And while the wave-notes fall on my ear,
Everything false will disappear.

When we know Jesus, we know
where we are going and who we are.

God Bless.
Miss Kitty

                                                 "Perhaps Today"

  Good morning friends,
Please read Matthew 24:36-46

You also be ready,
for the Son of Man
is coming at an hour
you do not expect. Matthew 24:44

When the disciples asked Jesus about the date of His return (Matthew 24:3), He told them that only God the Father knows: "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only (Matthew 24:36). He urged them to be prepared so that they would not be taken by surprise (Matthew 24:44). We don't know when Jesus will return; He may come at any time. When we make our daily plans, are we aware that Christ may return? Are we prepared to meet Him?

The darkness deepens! Yes, but dawn is nearer!
The Lord from heaven may soon be on His way;
The "blessed hope" in these dark days grows dearer,
Our Savior Christ will come.

If Christ comes today,
will you be ready to meet Him?

God Bless.
Miss Kitty

                                                "Making Melody"

     Good morning friends,
Please read Psalm126:1-3

Speaking to one another
in psalms and hymns and
spiritual songs.  Ephesians 5:19

"The Lord has done great things for us" (Psalm 126:3). He has filled our heart with song. He may even use our "hums" to restore someones' soul.

Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart,
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art;
Thou my best thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping,Thy presence my light.

Praise flows freely from the choir of the redeemed.

God Bless.
Miss Kitty
