Scripture Meditation (Isaiah 55:10-11)
God's Word:
For as the rain comes down and the snow from heaven, and do not return there, but water the earth, and make it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

Thanking God in Everything
Inspirational Thought For Today
On the Christian journey, we take comfort in knowing that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. (Romans 8:28) That being the case, we can joyfully give thanks in everything, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for us. (1 Thessalonians 5:18)

Time Goes By
Devotional
How the years come and go. Each new year, we celebrate a new beginning. Excitement builds for all the things we hope to accomplish, but so often, we find ourselves procrastinating and before long, we close the book of blank pages. We are workers in God's vineyard, and our Master will require of us a reckoning of what we have done for His kingdom. He also cares about our desires and wants to fulfill them in accordance with His will and purpose for our lives. He's ready and willing to help us get back on track and make a difference in our world.
Time - The old saying that time waits for no man is
absolutely true. Daybreak gives way to nightfall, and the hands on the clock
keep moving. The days turn into months and the months into years. We celebrate
birthdays and each new year brings us hope for a brighter future. That future
is embodied in the will of God for our lives. Many times we make our plans for
things that would satisfy us here and now, with little consideration as to how
it fits into the eternal purpose of God.
We all want to feel useful in the hands of God. That our
time spent on earth is used wisely for the greater good. We envision living a
long and healthy life and accomplishing the goals we have set. For the child of
God who believes in the finished work of Christ, our primary work is to do the
will of God, just as Jesus stated of himself.
God has put desires into our hearts that He wants to
fulfill. He invites us to ask of the Father anything in His name and He will do
it. Again, this speaks of praying His will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
It's not my will, but His.
Our God-given gifts and talents are intended to bring a
blessing to those who would benefit from their use. God is honored as we
exercise ourselves in them. Remember the Bible story of the servants who were
entrusted with their master's goods and had to give a reckoning of their
talents? The servant who hid his talent out of fear, received a scolding and
confiscation of the single talent he had received.
Whatever we have been given of God, let us use it for His
glory. Not comparing ourselves to others, for God has dispensed to each of us
according to His will and purpose. Not being fearful, for the more we use the
gift, God will bless it, for it is bringing Him much glory and praise. Amen.
Our life's journey is one of time on our way to eternity. While often beset by various trials and tribulations, our heavenly Father is with us. Rejoice! Our lives and times are truly in His hand. Let Him say, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of the Lord." {Matthew 25:21}
