2026-07-09T22:01:54+02:00

Sometimes when we bring a burden to God, we do so much groaning over it that it seems as though God is having a dreadful time, too. In reality it does not burden Him at all. God says in effect, "It is a light thing for Me to do this for you." Our load, though heavy for us, is not heavy for Him. Christ carries the whole on one shoulder, not two shoulders. The government of the world is upon His shoulder, and He is not struggling and groaning with it. His mighty arm is able to carry all our burdens. There is power in Christ for our sanctification. Yes, the Lord can sanctify, the Lord can heal, the Lord can do anything. You must have faith in God. ─A. B. Simpson, with Bible text on Psalm 55.22

A Bible Devotion wrote the following post Wed, 08 Jul 2026 22:00:00 -0700Do You Believe In Love?#^Do You Believe In Love?

MATTHEW 5:44 NKJ 44 "But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,

Most people believe in force: guns and armies.

Most people believe in money: "financial power."

Many people believe in education, that "If we just educate people enough we can change the world."

Hardly anyone seems to believe in the power of love to change things. No one seems to think it would do any good to "turn the other cheek."

Jesus didn't tell us to "turn the other cheek" just so we could get beat up more. Jesus believes in the power of love. Jesus believes that evil can be overcome with good.

ROMANS 12:20-21 NKJ 20 Therefore "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head." 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

God still believes in the power of love. He believes that if you love enough, and for long enough, people will finally come to their senses and respond to that love.

JOHN 13:34-35 NIV 34 "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."

Jesus said the mark of His believers would be their love. Where did we go wrong?

SAY THIS: Lord, help me to believe in love, and to act in love.

A Very Fine teaching here.

2026-07-03T23:03:32+02:00

“Nathanael heard about Jesus. He might have just stayed where he was, and “listened on.” How many of us just “listen on”! But merely listening about Jesus keeps him waiting. When we start toward him, he sees us coming, and speaks to us just where he finds us. And he never fails to satisfy the heart. Then we know it is really he; for no mere man ever really meets and satisfies us just where we know we are.”

From J.R. Miller at #^https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/47/evening :

O God, who has taught us in Your holy word to cast our burdens upon You, promising that we shall be sustained — we come to You this evening with our burdens. You have given them to us; they are Your gifts. We know, therefore, that there must be a blessing wrapped up in every one of them, something good sent from You to us. Help us to accept our burdens, and to get Your gifts from them. Let us not repine nor murmur under them, and thus miss the blessing that You have sent to us.

You have not promised to take our burdens away from us, for this would be depriving us of blessings which You have specially prepared for us in Your love. But You have promised to sustain us, to give us strength to bear the burden. Our prayer, then, is that You would give us grace to accept whatever burdens You have laid upon us, to take up whatever crosses You put upon our shoulders, and to bear them after our Savior, with quiet trust.

The Bent-Knee Time - Devotional: May 19th

SELFISHNESS IS SUICIDAL - Mark 12:1-12

The Jews rejected Jesus, the Son of God and their own and the world’s rightful King. And so they rejected their opportunity to be the world’s first nation. “They left him”; utterly, severely, they left him. And so he was forced to leave them. That’s always the order. If ever God leaves a man it is only long after the man has left God. Sin is suicidal. Selfishness nails its own coffin. Rejection of Jesus is self-rejection.

The following prayer is a highly adapted text from one found on the web, with a lot of additional thoughts:

Heavenly Father, thank you for allowing me to open up my heart to You.

You deserve praise because I can tell You everything that troubles and worries me.

You know what I think, how I feel, what tempts me, what I want to accomplish today and tomorrow.

You know and care about everything that happens in my life.

You are shaping and preparing me to live with You forever.

You are disciplining me to be holy, which will allow me to live in Your holy presence.

Teach me to live in the knowledge that You will care for me today, will care for me tomorrow and all the days of my life.

You never fail those who trust in You, so I will trust You also. Lord, I believe -- help me in my failure to believe.

Jesus is Lord and Savior, and all my hope. Amen.

@Christopher That's an idea! Most RSS feeds I have send something once or twice a day at most, quite manageable. The one I mentioned was 10-12 the first day, so that won't work.

“Am I getting nobler, better, more helpful, more humble, as I get older? Am I exhibiting the life that men take knowledge of as having been with Jesus, or am I getting more self-assertive, more deliberately determined to have my own way? It is a great thing to tell yourself the truth.” ─Oswald Chambers

Dear God of gods and Father of the faithful --
Forever is your promise to your people.
You'll not turn back from truth nor change your mind.
Your word is firm; in it are we secure.
All honor, praise and glory belong to You.
Forgive our sins, empower our fragile spirits.
We patiently await our Lord from Heaven.
In him we pray and ask your presence. Amen.

No stairs exist to take you to Heaven's gate:
We walk below, our path is here, and fight;
There's many a step before the final date ─
But then! the Lord will sweep us up in flight.

The pillow offers little rest,
The night brings wakened fears and sighs,
The bed was made for silent cries ─
The conscience presses upon the breast.
