Here or There

Luke 12:29-31 “And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.” (NIV)

 

We will kick off today’s devotional by delving deeper into our final thought from yesterday. Which is the tension between living focused on eternity while dealing with the demands of earthly life. Read the rest of this entry

The Difference

John 11:25 “Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying.”

Jesus Is Alive

Acts 2:32 “God raised Jesus from the dead, and we are all witnesses of this.”

 

What separates Christianity from every other religion is that Jesus is Alive! Happy Easter! Happy resurrection, Jesus is Alive! We will be taking a break from our previous study and turning our focus to Easter. Read the rest of this entry

Stand Your Ground

Exodus 17:12 “Moses’ arms soon became so tired he could no longer hold them up. So Aaron and Hur found a stone for him to sit on. Then they stood on each side of Moses, holding up his hands. So his hands held steady until sunset.”

 

We will kick-off today with our final thought from yesterday, which is that boredom is for children. As an adult, you have to give what it takes to achieve what is before you. And spiritually is the same, you cannot afford boredom. Read the rest of this entry

Support, Not Replace

Exodus 17:12 “But Moses’ hands were heavy and grew weary. So [the other men] took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Then Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on one side and one on the other side; so his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.” (AMPC).

 

#3: The Solution To Physical Tiredness During Spiritual Activity Is Support, Not A Break. When Moses was tired with his hands vibrating, God did not allow Moses to take a break, God brought support. Read the rest of this entry

The Path

Psalm 105:18-21 “They bruised his feet with fetters and placed his neck in an iron collar. Until the time came to fulfil his dreams, the Lord tested Joseph’s character. Then Pharaoh sent for him and set him free… Joseph was put in charge… he became ruler over all the king’s possessions.”

 

2 Corinthians 4:16-17 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. These troubles and sufferings of ours are, after all, quite small and won’t last very long. Read the rest of this entry

Psalm 144:1 “Praise the Lord, who is my rock. He trains my hands for war and gives my fingers skill for battle.”

Advantage

1 Kings 18:42 “So Ahab went to eat and drink. But Elijah climbed to the top of Mount Carmel and bowed low to the ground and prayed with his face between his knees.”

Exodus 17:10-11 “…At the same time Moses, Aaron, and Hur went to the top of the hill. Any time Moses held his hands in the air, the men of Israel would start winning the fight. But when Moses put his hands down, the men of Israel began to lose the fight.” (ERV).

 

Beginning today, we will delve into three things from the story in Exodus 17:8-16 (please read).

#1: Advantage Is Secured at The “Spiritual Mountain”. We cannot over emphasize this. The changes you want to see in the physical, some people will bring the battle to you in the physical. Read the rest of this entry

Battle Ready?

Exodus 17:10-11 “So Joshua fought the Amalekites as Moses had ordered, and Moses, Aaron and Hur went to the top of the hill. As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning.” (NIV)
