Hiding in Jesus
by Darla Noble

Psalm 119:114, 116

You are my hiding place and my shield. I hope in your word. Uphold me according to your word, that I may live. Let me not be ashamed of my hope.

Someone once told me they thought Christians were people trying to hide their heads in the sand instead of facing the realities of life.

I replied: I’m not hiding from life. I’m hiding from danger, harm, death, and destruction. And I’m not ashamed to admit it!

When you hide in Jesus, you are hiding from sin. You are putting yourself out of your enemy’s reach and into the loving arms of your Savior.

When you hide in Jesus, you rest in the arms of the One who comforts, directs, protects, and provides abundance.

It is so wonderful to have Jesus as your hiding place and as your shield from the cares and concerns of the world.

Jesus is The Word of God (John 1:1-4). The Word is life and the Word is your hope. He upholds you firmly, according to His word. In His care, you live a safe and abundant life that is unimaginable without Him.

When Jesus is your shelter, you share Him with everyone you meet because you love them and you want them to have the same wonderful blessings you enjoy yourself.

Reflection

If Jesus is my hiding place and shield, and He is also the Word of God, what does that say about the importance of reading and studying my Bible?

Prayer

Dear God, Thank You for being my hiding place and shield in an insecure, hopeless world. Help me to do everything possible so my loved ones also find their hope in You. In the wonderful name of Jesus I pray, Amen.

Will You Be Ready?
by Darla Noble

John 14:1-3

Don’t let your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many homes. If it weren’t so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will receive you to myself; that where I am, you may be there also.

“And they lived happily ever after” is how all the best children’s stories end.

The prince and princess are happy in the castle. The knight in shining armor slays the dragon. The bears get their house back and gain a new friend in the process, and the big, bad wolf gets what is coming to him so a grandma and her clothed-in-red granddaughter can enjoy spending time together.

These stories are entertaining, but they aren’t real. They are make-believe. But there is one book that has a “happily ever after” ending that is real. One that actually will take place. That book is the Bible.

Today’s verses are Jesus’ words to His disciples (and to us) shortly before His arrest which, in turn, leads to His death, burial, and resurrection. He promises them their happily ever after — a home with Him.

Jesus promises that if we believe in God and in Him we can live with Him forever.

Remember, Jesus is talking about more than just believing He exists. The Greek word He uses for “believe” means to accept completely — to follow obediently and faithfully.

When we believe like that, we live with the hope that when Jesus returns He will take us to our eternal home, where we will live happily ever after with Him.

Reflection

How would I describe my real “happily ever after” with my Savior, Jesus?

Prayer

Dear Lord, Please help me live a life that is ready for eternity. I believe! Help my unbelief! I cannot wait to live with You forever. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

The Power of a Song
by Darla Noble and Joyverse

Isaiah 41:10

Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.

Back in the 1980s, Christian singer and songwriter Steve Green released a series of Bible verses put to music for children. Still available as CD and digital download formats, the Hide ‘Em In Your Heart songs were part of our family’s daily listening pleasure.

One of the songs is taken from Psalm 56:3-4, which simply says, “When I am afraid, I put my trust in You. In God, whose word I praise.”

These sixteen simple words have taken my children and me through some tough and scary situations. Even now, as adults with children of their own, when we encounter something scary, worrisome, or intimidating, we sing, “When I am afraid I will trust in you; I will trust in you; I will trust in you….”

And you can, too!

You can trust in God to calm your fears, put a blanket of peace over your troubled heart and mind, and keep you safely wrapped in His loving arms.

Setting Bible verses to music is a great way to memorize them. Then, you’ve “got them” when you need them. Why not take some time and set today’s verse to a memorable tune? (Hint: the chorus of the “Battle Hymn of the Republic” works remarkably well.)

Reflection

How has God helped me overcome my fears in the past? What fears do I still need to entrust to Him?

Prayer

Dear God, Thank You for protecting me. Thank You for being there to calm my fears and for letting me know You are more powerful than anything that comes my way. In Your Son Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

The Gift of YOU
by Darla Noble

Romans 12:1

Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.

Madison, Anna’s nine-year-old daughter, is a tomboy through and through.

There are only one or two dresses in her closet for those occasions when nothing else will do. The problem arose, however, when Madison didn’t think her aunt’s wedding was one of those special occasions.

After trying to reason with Madison, Anna finally said, “This day isn’t about you or what you want. This is your aunt’s special day and you are going to do everything you can to help make that happen — and dressing appropriately is one of those things.”

The same thing can be said about how you and I present ourselves to God.

We might not always agree with the way God wants us to present ourselves in service or when responding to others, but the truth of the matter is: It’s not about us. It’s about God and pleasing Him because He is holy and He deserves our very best all the time.

What attitudes, habits, or actions are you “wearing” that are not pleasing to God? Take definitive action today to change — to “dress” your spirit for the occasion of serving Him.

Reflection

What are my talents and abilities? How can I use them to serve God and others?

Prayer

Dear Lord, Please forgive me for the times I have failed to sacrifice anything for You. Please cleanse me, both inside and out. May my life be holy and acceptable to You. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

Happy Memorial Day. May we always remember those who have given the last full measure of devotion so that we can live fr...

The Battle Is the Lord’s
by Darla Noble

Deuteronomy 20:4

For the LORD your God is he who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.

Today’s verse says it all: you are not alone. God is with you. You don’t have to fight your battles or overcome on your own.

Do you remember God’s dramatic miracle on the Red Sea? (See Exodus 14:15-31.) This story has been preserved to give you confidence that God will fight for you as He did when He fought for His people thousands of years before you were born.

He said, “Don’t be afraid. Just stand still and watch the Lord rescue you today. The Egyptians you see today will never be seen again. The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm” (Exodus 14:13-14 NLT).

Imagine watching the drama! The Israelites crossed the Red Sea through a dry path God created in the middle of the waters.

The entire enemy army tried to follow the Israelites to attack them, but God said, “No!” He got rid of the dry path, and all the enemy troops died.

Yes, today, God will fight and overcome for you. Your enemies may be bigger than you are, but He is bigger than us all.

Let God wrap you in His loving arms. Trust in Him that He will keep His promises to protect you, direct you, provide for you and bless you.

Reflection

What are some things I can do to be more aware of God’s miracles all around me?

Prayer

Dear Lord, Please help me trust in You and experience Your miracles all around me today. Please go with me, fight my enemies for me, and keep me safe in Your loving care. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
