Today's Devotion from Psalms 365
A complete lack of fear can have terrible consequences. I still have both my hands because of a healthy fear of whirling blades. We all need a healthy fear of God. The psalmist states, “It is you alone who are to be feared” (Ps. 76:7). How do you balance both love and healthy fear in your relationship with God? At times have you treated God like a pal or sidekick?
LORD God, you are the One I need to fear. Give me a healthy dose of godly fear. Heavenly Father, I want to love and fear you, so I will walk in full obedience to your commands. Amen.

Today's Devotion from Psalms 365
Ask yourself how many, “Oh my G*ds!” do you hear in a day? Is that a meaningless expression. It's a meaningless expressions to those who believe this command from the LORD is a meaningless expression. “You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name” (Ex. 20:7, NIV).

Exclamations of “Oh my G*d!” are meaningless expressions of surprise—or are they? God’s commands are not meaningless expressions. There is power in the name of the LORD. Perhaps w…

Today's Devotion from Psalms 365
The help of man, though it has value, falls short. We need the help of God. The whispered voice of God has more power than the most eloquent spokesman. Know this child of God: The day will come. The LORD will arise.
LORD God, defend the helpless. Arise and save your people here in our nation and abroad. Show yourself strong by turning back the enemies of the cross. Our hope is in you. Amen.

Today's excerpt from "James the Lynchpin of Our Faith" digs deep into the relationship between James and Paul, the apostle.

There are theologians who see vastly different motives at work in James and Paul, but a careful reading of the scriptures does not bear this out. There is no indication that Paul chafed at this rec…

We live in a world that distorts what really matters in this life. Listen to today's reading by Jonathan Dent from Psalm 73 to discover values that last for now and eternity.

When I tried to understand all this, it troubled me deeply till I entered the sanctuary of God; then I understood their final destiny.

Today's Devotion from Psalms 365
After the psalmist pours out his complaint before God, he does not stay there. He goes on to recall the miraculous works of God. He reminds God of His interventions into the affairs of humankind. He makes this bold personal declaration, “But God is my King from long ago; he brings salvation on the earth” (Ps. 74:12).
LORD God, you see the sins of our nation. Bring us back to you. You are the Almighty God. You do not change. Bring your salvation on the earth even as you did long ago. You are my King. Amen.

When I am lost, I watch for signs. But in this situation God gave no signs. But after the psalmist pours out his complaint before God, he does not stay there. He goes on to recall the miraculous wo…

Today's Devotion from Psalms 365
Sadly, in many places the standard of the cross has been replaced by standards of hedonism and human pride. This would be easier to fathom if this was the work of some sinister foreign power, but, our own people have turned their backs on God and have instead embraced the gods of this world. God have mercy on our land.
LORD God, help us to become agents of change in our land. We want people throughout this country to turn to you in repentance and faith. Open their eyes to their need and your reality. Amen.

Today's Devotion from Psalms 365
We need to come into God's sanctuary to have our hearts and minds tuned into the LORD's thinking. All too often I have my priorities all messed up. What about you? The amazing truth about God is He loves us despite our mess-ups. Have you experienced God's love?
LORD God, I want to have your perspective. I want to see as you see. Help me to set my thoughts on the right path. Remind me to take time to be with you. But as for me, it is good to be near God (Ps. 71:28). Amen.

Today's Devotion from Psalms 365
In God's sanctuary a man’s arrogant boasting is exposed for what it is—a breath of hot air. There is no permanence to human wealth or achievement. In the eons of time, all is swept away. Only what is built on the Christ the solid rock will endure for eternity. True value, true worth and permanence are found in our union with God in His sanctuary—in His sacred place.
LORD God, bring me to your sanctuary. Help me to enter into communion with you. Help me discern what is of real value in a world filled with idols and shams. Give me your understanding. Amen.

Understanding comes in God’s sanctuary. When we enter that holy place, the Lord can give us His perspective. We can see as He sees. A man’s arrogant boasting is exposed for what it is—a…
