  In Faithful, SeriousFaith, Teaching / 26 August 2009 / 0 comments

  Romans 3:23 – For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God… (NJKV)O Living God,I bless You..That I can see both the good and the bad in my heart;That I can weep over the sins that carry me away from You;That in your great love and mercy You discipline meso that I might return to You and have life.My weakness causes me to look at my sin and become discouraged,or look at what good I do and become proud.I fall well short of Your glory every day By wasting the precious time You have given me,By fooling myself into thinking I’m better than I am;When I do things that are not done for Your gloryand do not come as a result of [...]

  1 Thessalonians 5:9-11 For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him. Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing. (NKJV)A prayer of thanks, comfort and joy:O Great God of Comfort,Overflowing rivers of Your love flood my life.

You have brought me out of my ignorance into the blessed knowledge of Your Son; out of the darkness and into the Light; out of death and into Life; out of hopelessness into peace.You have replaced my [...]

(NASB95)(Previous devotionals can be found at www.seriousfaith.com)In a recent Devotion, we talked about encouraging other people. It is such a blessing to both receive encouragement and to be the encourager.But sometimes the reality is that there isn’t anyone around (humanly speaking) to encourage us. Our great God hasn’t “dropped the ball.” We can turn Scripture and prayer for the greatest encouragement of all. There are some simply wonderful, spirit-lifting, hope-giving passages that are always at your fingertips. When life is trampling you, you will find hope in the Bible. When the wicked prosper and you suffer, [...]

  (Click here to search for all the posts in this series…) 1 Thessalonians 5:11 Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing. (NASB95)(Previous devotionals can be found at www.seriousfaith.com)There are times when the Lord sends us a friend to encourage us at just the right moment… and it’s like the clouds part, the rainbow appears, the sun shines and the birds start singing. God knows how our emotions affect us. We don’t live by our emotions, but they surely are a part of our daily life. God knows that there are times when we need someone to listen, comfort and lift us up in fellowship.I recently experienced this blessing myself. There is a certain circumstance in my life [...]
