Happy Taco Tuesday, my friend. "Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the hearts" (Proverbs 21:2). There is a world invisible to the naked eye beneath your skin. With every breath you take, your heart pumps blood through veins and arteries, minuscule cells reproduce and heal, and organs perform their functions. If this is true of the world within the walls of your skin, how much more is it true of the physical world surrounding you? From your perspective it may appear that the unrighteous prosper, while the righteous experience trouble and pain. But when the scales seem incorrectly tipped in this life, remember that God not only created the entire universe, He also sees the invisible motives of every heart. He will execute justice. You can trust Him to not only balance the scales of life but to also extend mercy. His plans and purposes are often hidden from you, but God is faithful. You will face challenging circumstances in life, but you are never alone or out of God's sight. God sees your hidden tears and listens to your whispered prayers - you can trust that when the scales of justice are weighed righteousness will reign. Thank you for taking the time to read this devotion. Be blessed.

Remember those prayer requests that have been mentioned previously. There is POWER in prayer. Praise God because there is POWER in the Blood of Jesus and your prayers. God's grace never runs dry and is sufficient for everyone of your needs. Acknowledge His unlimited grace, power, mercy, and plan, and seek the Holy Spirit to empower you. Finally, remember that God loves you & I do too.

Happy Labor Day, my friend. "Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful" (1 Corinthians 4:2). Most of us know what a fairweather fan is - the team supporter who supports the team only under on condition: a winning record. If the team is on a losing streak, the fairweather fan will likely stay home. The opposite of a fairweather fan is a faithful fan. The biblical equivalent of a faithful fan is a steward - one who has been commissioned by an authority to carry out a specific task. And the chief characteristic of a steward is faithfulness. The steward will carry out his or her commission regardless of cost. The Bible speaks often of stewards: Joseph in Egypt, the faithful steward in Jesus' parables, church overseers, and the apostle Paul - a steward of the grace of God. In every case, faithfulness was the chief requirement. You might ask yourself whether you are a fairweather or a faithful fan of God's assignments for your life. How inconvenienced are you willing to be for the sake of the Gospel? God has made every Christian a steward of the gift of salvation by grace, a gift you are to use for His glory. Pray today to be a faithful steward. Thank you for taking the time to read this devotion. Be blessed.

Happy Lord's Day, my friend. "And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord" (Ephesians 6:4). Sometimes when parents discipline their child lovingly, the child still becomes angry - and it's not the parents' fault. So, what does Paul mean when he exhorts fathers not to "provoke [their] children to wrath [or anger]"? Think of Galatians 6:7: We reap what we sow. When parents sow love and peace into a child's life, the chances are good they will not provoke that child to anger. But the opposite is true: Disciplining a child in anger provokes that child to respond in anger over time. Thankfully, Scripture gives parents a model to use in raising children: "the training and admonition of the Lord." God doesn't discipline you , His child, in anger; He disciplines you in love. No one has ever had just cause to be angry with God. And no child disciplined with the love of God will have just cause to be angry with a parent. As with all things in life, God is the best model you have for raising children. Whether you are a parent, parent-to-be, or grandparent, let God's love be your guide. Thank you for taking the time to read this devotion. Be blessed.

Happy Saturday, my friend. "I rise before the dawning of the morning, and cry for help; I hope in Your word. My eyes are awake through the night watches, that I may meditate on Your word" (Psalm 119:147-148). September is a good time for making improvements. Children return to school to improve their minds, and you, too, need to make sure you're enrolled in God's classroom - the Bible. A few years ago, The American Bible Society reported that 61 percent of Bible-engaged Americans say they need the Bible more than coffee to jumpstart their mornings. Nothing helps you begin or end your days like meeting with the Lord and listening to His voice in Scripture. With or without coffee, the Bible is the greatest educational opportunity - on in which you learn how to live while falling in love with the Author of the Book. Life is what you make it, which means you need to make time for the Lord, for the lessons of His Word, and for prayer. It's the greatest classroom in the world, and the professor is your Father and your Friend. Let's give Him first place in your time, starting today. Thank you for taking the time to read this devotion. Be blessed.

Good morning my friend. It's Friday. "Be still, and know that I am God;; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!" (Psalm 46:10). Each year at the Masters golf tournament in Augusta, Georgia, cellphones are banned from the course, and spectators are not allowed to run from hole to hole, only walk briskly. The golfers who compete in this major championship find these rules help them focus as they play. They aren't distracted by people holding up their cellphones to take photos, and they compare the experience to going back in time. Life is busy, and technology means you can always connected with the world around you. However, sometimes you need to be disconnected. You need to "go back in time" and remember what it's like to live at a simpler, slower pace. You may not be setting aside your phone to watch a golf tournament, but you can easily put away your phone or tablet and take an unhurried walk in a park or around your neighborhood. Times of quiet away from the distractions of the world allow you the chance to spend time with your Heavenly Father. And in these moments you are able to observe His marvelous creation, reflect on His goodness to you, and bring your concerns and needs to Him. Thank you for taking the time to read this devotion. Be blessed. Lift up Cheryl Cutler in prayer; she needs a physical touch from the Lord.

Happy Friday eve, my friend. "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden" (Matthew 5:14). When he was young, a pastor had a bicycle growing up, and on occasion he would go out at night to collect for his paper route. He had lights on the front but only reflectors on the back of the bicycle. Mud would get on the reflectors, so he'd take a cloth and wipe the reflector off before heading out at night so that the reflector would do its job. Once he got the mud all cleaned off of it, that little reflector would shine brightly as soon as a light hit it from behind. You are to be the light of the world, and the only way you can improve your ability to be the light of the world is to make sure the reflector is clean. You cannot manipulate the reflector to create more light because there is no light in a reflector. A reflector is only able to respond to the light that is shone on it. The way you become a light that men will see is by making sure your reflector, your life, is cleaned up and cleaned off so that when Jesus shines through you there's nothing preventing the world from seeing anything but Him. Thank you for taking the time to read this devotion. Be blessed. Lift up Cheryl Cutler in prayer; she needs a physical touch from the Lord.

Happy Wacky Wednesday, my friend. "Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor" (1 Corinthians 3:8). The techniques of some of history's greatest teachers - like Solomon, Jesus, and Paul - are illustrated in Scripture. Specifically, we learn from their use of metaphors and illustrations to make their spiritual and practical points. In the space of seventeen verses, Paul uses metaphors to promote unity in the Church and illustrate the basis for eternal rewards. He uses an agricultural metaphor and an architectural metaphor to talk about rewards. How you plant and how you build will be tested by God. How you have used what God has given will determine your rewards or the lack of them. So what have you been given? Grace, love, spiritual gifts, the Holy Spirit, talents and abilities, time tangible resources - everything you have is given to you to use faithfully for Christ and His Kingdom. If the Judgement Seat of Christ took place today, how would your works fare in the fire of God's presence? Purpose that today will be a day of faithfulness. Thank you for taking the time to read this devotion. Be blessed.
