Devotion - February 8, 2012

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.

Devotion - February 6, 2012

Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place where he prayed. Simon and his companions went to look for him, and when they found him, they exclaimed: “Everyone is looking for you!” Jesus replied, “Let us go somewhere else – to the nearby villages – so I can preach there also. That is why I have come.”

Mark 1:35-38

Looking for Jesus

It seems curious Jesus would say, “Let us go somewhere else.” It seems even more curious when he says it to his disciples following their exclamation, “Everyone is looking for you!” While the disciples would have been content to stay in that area of Galilee, Jesus had a different plan. He came to proclaim the good news of forgiveness and eternal life to all.

Prayer: 

O dearest Jesus, give me the eyes of faith to see you as my Savior. Open my ears to hear your precious good news of life and peace. Purify my heart through your gift of forgiveness. Amen.

Devotion - February 3, 2012

The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own brothers. You must listen to him. For this is what you asked of the Lord your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly when you said, “Let us not hear the voice of the Lord our God nor see this great fire anymore, or we will die.” The Lord said to me: “What they say is good. I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers; I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him.

Deuteronomy 18:15-18

Listen to the Prophet

Prayer: 

Dearest Jesus, help me tune out the distractions of everyday life and truly listen to you.  I thank you for bringing good news of great joy for all people.  Help me to rejoice in you and speak your name wherever I have the opportunity. Amen.
