Devotion - February 13, 2012

A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.” Filled with compassion, Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cured.

Mark 1:40-42

Your Will be Done!

“Whatever you think is best,” Don told his mechanic.  Although he was surprised at the number and cost of repairs, he knew his car wasn’t running right.  He also knew his mechanical skills were limited, so he had to trust the man who was recommending the repairs.

Prayer: 

O dearest Jesus, my loving Savior, I thank you for your invitation to pray and the promise to answer all my prayers.  Give me the strength of faith to trust that you will always do what is best for me.  Amen.

Devotion - February 10, 2012

“Does not man have hard service on earth? Are not his days like those of a hired man? Like a slave longing for the evening shadows, or a hired man waiting eagerly for his wages, so I have been allotted months of futility, and nights of misery have been assigned to me. When I lie down I think, ‘How long before I get up?’ The night drags on, and I toss till dawn. My body is clothed with worms and scabs, my skin is broken and festering. My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and they come to an end without hope. Remember, O God, that my life is but a breath; my eyes will never see happiness again.”

Job 7:1-7

Hope in Tragedy

Prayer: 

Lord, keep tragedy from falling upon me, if it is your will.  But if it is necessary that I experience suffering and hardship, use it to draw me ever deeper into your love.  For the sake of your Son who has already suffered everything for me. Amen.

Devotion - February 9, 2012

He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.

Isaiah 53:5

Christ Removes the Crushing Weight

From time to time we hear of people doing extraordinary things, like a woman who managed to lift a car that had slipped off the jack to free her son who was being crushed under the heavy weight. In extreme emergencies people have been known to tap a source of physical strength and mental resourcefulness they didn't know they had.

Prayer: 

Heavenly Father, thank you for your great love.  It was your will to crush your only Son and cause him to suffer and die for the sins of all. Fill me with gladness for the pardon that my Savior accomplished and the peace he gives me.

Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!

1 Corinthians 9:16

Play It

In the early 1900's, there was a man by the name of Fritz Kreisler. Fritz Kreisler was a superb violinist. On one particular day, however, he was facing a terrible disappointment. Some time before, he had discovered a violin that made exquisite sound. He dearly wanted to have it. But the violin was expensive, and so Fritz carefully saved up money to buy it.

Prayer: 

I confess, Lord Jesus, all the times I have allowed your gospel to remain silent in my life. Open my ears and heart to listen again and again to the sweet sound of your forgiveness. Amen.

Devotion - February 7, 2012

In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps.

Proverbs 16:9

Who's In Control?

Sue was excited to visit New York City; it was her first time to experience the sights and sounds of the big city.  But on arrival, her expectation for an exciting time was threatened by the taxi ride to the hotel. The driver seemed determined to demonstrate his skill and daring in negotiating the traffic congestion.

Prayer: 

Lord Jesus, I don’t know not what this day may bring and tomorrow there are many more unknowns. But I know that you are my almighty, loving God.  Teach me to put my life under your control. Amen.
