When We Are Prodigals

“Father, give me my share of the estate” Luke 15:12

I love to read books by the late Henri Nouwen. Although he was a highly educated man, he had a childlike relationship with the Lord. One of his books, ‘The Return of the Prodigal Son‘, had some fresh insights into this parable that I had not considered before.

It is all about our relationship with God our Father. In essence, the prodigal son told his father, “I don’t want you, just the things you can give me.” I had habitually viewed a prodigal as someone who turned his back on God and didn’t come back for many years.

Nouwen observed that any of us can become prodigals several times a day. Whenever we choose to use God as an “answer to prayer” dispenser, or if we remember Him only in times of crisis, we are like the prodigal son. We choose His gifts rather than Him.

Compared to the feast of love the Father wishes for us, we are often like the prodigal — eating pig’s food.

The good news is that no matter how often we turn away from God and focus on His resources rather than on Him, He is always there, waiting for us with outstretched arms. We are always welcome to return and bask in His love and forgiveness.

Father, we cannot comprehend Your awesome love and Your total acceptance of Your children. We aren’t like that. Give us the grace to love You more. Amen.

Safety in Counsel

Published September 23, 2016

Safety in Counsel

“Where there is no counsel, the people fall; but in the multitude of counselors there is safety.” Proverbs 11:14 (NKJV)

A few years ago, my husband and I had to make a crucial decision. It involved many different factors: whether he should quit his current job and find a new one, whether we would be willing to lose much of what we had spent years building together, and whether we should uproot our family once again.

We prayed, sought counsel, and with the support and encouragement from many different people, we made a difficult decision.

My husband was unemployed for 10 months. There were times when doubt crept in and we wondered if we had done the right thing. In time however, God’s faithfulness proved far more than we could have imagined. It wasn’t easy. But looking back, we are able to see that God had a plan. And in that plan, He included others who, strong in their walk with God and filled with wisdom, would help guide and direct us, being a support and encouragement in a very challenging time.

There are moments in our lives when we immediately know what to do. But then there are other situations that require us to recognize that we need to seek out others who can help advise and support us in the specific area of need.

And ultimately, God has given us the greatest Counselor of all — the Holy Spirit. We can always receive help from Him (John 14:26).

Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of Your Spirit whom You have freely given to me as a help and comfort in time of need. I ask that You would help guide and direct me in (name your situation). I ask that You would show me the right people to ask for guidance and that You would give me courage to ask for help. I desire for Your will to be done in my life. Amen.

Completely Different

Completely Different

“But Jesus called the children to him and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these” Luke 18:16

Sherry and Jimmie met at a hard rock Black Sabbath concert.
Both were serious substance abusers.
Sherry became pregnant and a few months later, they got married. But it was awful!
A divorce ended years of abuse.
Strangely enough, God drew them back together. He had a plan for this family!
What did God use?
Little three-year-old Jason told the pastor, “I want Jesus to bring my daddy home.”

Months later, the couple asked the pastor to marry them.
He agreed if Jimmie would receive Jesus into his life as Sherry had done previously.
So Jimmie said yes.
Now he says,
“Jesus invaded our world that night. We got up from there and were completely different.”

Now Sherry and blues artist Jimmie Bratcher are sharing Christ’s life-changing story with others.

Friend, your experience might be less dramatic, but God WILL change your life!

If you don’t know God and his forgiveness and would like to start living a life where he is at your centre, you can start that journey today with a prayer:

Prayer

Lord Jesus, I want to trust you from now on. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of my life. Make me be the person You want me to be. Thank you for enabling me to trust you in these uncertain times. Amen.

Why Should We Pray?

Published September 18, 2016

Why Should We Pray?

Recently, I received an email with this question. “Why is it important to pray?”

Before I answered the question, I reminded the writer that praying is a two-way communication between God and His people. God speaks to us through His Word, through impressions, nature and people. We talk to God out loud or in our mind.

There are Many Reasons to Communicate with God.

1. To glorify God. Jesus said, “Whatever you ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.” (John 14:13). The Father loves us and wants to bless us. We ask, He will do, and the Father will be glorified (get the credit).

2. To obey God’s command. “Pray without ceasing.” (1 Thessalonians 5:17). We should talk to God thousands of times a day about everything. Big problems, small problems, quick prayers of thanksgiving, “help me” prayers or “help them” prayers.

3. Fellowship with God. “The prayers of the upright are His delight.” (Proverbs 15:8). Revelation 3:20 tells us that if we open our heart to Him, He will come into our hearts and have fellowship (we hang out with Him) with us. The Westminster catechism tells us the chief end of man to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. God loves for us to talk to Him.

4. We follow Christ’s example. There are so many references in the gospels of Jesus taking time to pray. (Luke 5:16) says, “But Jesus often slipped away to others places to be alone so that He could pray.” We are His followers and we too must make prayer a priority.

5. Prayer brings results. “The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.” (James 5:16). I encourage you to take the time to think about the prayers that God has answered. And also, make a goal to pray more.

6. Prayer is vital to Christian maturity. We will not grow in our faith, if we do not spend time with God and His Word. We can go without food for a day or two without too much effect but then we begin to get weak. In the same we way, we will get weak in our spirit if we go without spending time with the Lord every day. Prayer and the Word are food for our souls.

Father, what a privilege it is to talk to You. How awesome to think that You actually love to hear our prayers. Help us to spend more time talking to you—about everything. Amen.

Some of the content was taken from “How to Pray”, by Dr. Bill Bright.

The Carpenter

Published September 16, 2016

The Carpenter

The Carpenter needs the hammer to fasten the nails to the wood, with his many other tools and materials that are necessary for the completion of the work.

God needs you and me to Carpenter with Him through His Son Jesus Christ, by studying the word and applying it to our daily lives.

Being thoroughly furnished with persistent prayer.

God requires you to be fully clothed in His armor, saturated with compassion and love, with a passion for the lost souls, always prepared to minister to those who are in need.

The Great Carpenter Himself then pours the oil of the anointing upon the Evangelist, the Preacher of the word, and the missionary delivering the good news of Salvation, impacting people of every Nation.

Yes the Great Carpenter keeps you renewed, and restores your faith when you falter.

He gives rest in times of weariness, and gives you Wisdom to make decisions of faith.

It is so refreshing and rewarding to help the Carpenter rebuild lives and to keep hope alive against all odds.

Jesus Christ, He is the Carpenter of your life.

I’m Flawed, Now What?

Published September 15, 2016

I’m Flawed, Now What?

“Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful.” 1 Corinthians 1:27 (NLT)

God can’t use me. I’m flawed. I have too much baggage. I don’t have enough money. I’m not pretty enough. I’m not smart enough. I’ve made too many mistakes….

How many times have we told ourselves that we’re not good enough for God? The truth is, God specializes in using broken vessels.

Rehab, a prostitute, saved Israelite spies from the men of Jericho and became a part of Jesus’ lineage. Moses, a murderer, delivered the children of Israel from Egypt. David, an adulterer, was considered a man after God’s own heart. A talking donkey saved the prophet from being killed by the Angel of the Lord. Paul, a persecutor of Christians, went on to write about two-thirds of the New Testament.

So what’s holding you back? I challenge you to go beyond your own limitations today. Give God the broken pieces of your life. The weaknesses you are ashamed of are the perfect message of His grace. He is able to use the mess of your life and turn it into a message of hope for someone else.

You have a unique story of God’s grace to share with those who find themselves in similar situations. When you become transparent about God’s love and acceptance in spite of your flaws, it inspires others to believe. So go beyond your own limitations today and give the gift of hope. Someone is waiting on what you have to offer.

God, we recognize today that You take the foolish things of this world to confound us all. It is so apparent that Your thoughts are not our thoughts and Your ways are not our ways. What we see as hopeless, You see as life-giving. Help us to see as You see. Help us to go beyond our own imperfections and see Your hand of grace in our lives. As we do, help us to use that same grace to impact the lives of others. In Jesus’ name, amen.

As a step of faith, reach out to someone in need today and share a message of hope through a smile or a kind deed. People are looking for the love of God, and it begins with each of us as believers.

All-Seeing Eyes

“The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good.” Proverbs 15:3

God sees more than the outward actions. He peers into the heart. We can’t hide our motives from Him. His eyes pierce the surface and penetrate into the soul.

How many times have we thought or said, “Oh, I’m sure they meant well,” when we weren’t sure that was the case? Motives and agendas are often hidden. The reasons behind people’s acts can be misinterpreted. We may not see the truth of others actions due to our prejudices, our own guilt, or our anger. Or we may be blinded by false trust, gullibility, and naivety.

Others may, in turn, misjudge us. We try our best to do what is right, but flub it, and then get criticized. Maybe we become a scapegoat for someone who doesn’t want to own up to their own mistakes and finds it easier to point to us as the source of their problems. God sees that as well.

Of course, if we do something wrong, there is no hiding that from our Lord either, is there? When Achan sinned and stole plunder from the Canaanites, Joshua called him out on it: “Then Joshua said to Achan, “My son, give glory to the Lord, the God of Israel, and honor him. Tell me what you have done; do not hide it from me” (Joshua 7:19).

By confessing, we honor God and acknowledge that His eyes never miss anything. That He sees all — the good and the bad, the honorable and the wicked. And when we do falter, even if we tried our best, He sees that as well, even when others don’t.

Dearest Lord, let us always honor You foremost. If we do something wrong, let us not try and hide it from You. If someone wrongs us, let us be comforted by the fact that You see all, and when our plans fail, may we find comfort in the fact that You know our intentions even before we act. In your son, Jesus’ name, Amen.

What’s Under the Snow?

Published September 8, 2016

What’s Under the Snow?

“Come now, let’s settle this,” says the Lord. “Though your sins are like scarlet,? I will make them as white as snow…” Isaiah 1:18

The parking area for the condominium in which we live has space for owners’ cars. Some are covered spaces, some open to the elements, some designated for people who have special needs. Close to each building are two spaces with signs carrying this message: “In event of snow, this space is ONLY for snow removal purposes.” When storms arrive in this part of the western United States, huge vehicles are hired to scrape the fast falling snow into these two spaces so other areas are safe for driving or walking.

This is a great plan and one which we residents appreciate. However, even though we have snow here, we also have bright sunshine which rather quickly melts the snow between storms. Soon we see grass on the lawns and increasingly dry sidewalks and roads. But not in those “snow designated” spaces. There the pile of white slowly turns an ugly gray as it diminishes in the warming sun. And in the melting pile can eventually be seen a lost glove, tossed newspaper or other refuse. What looked like a sparkling small white mountain is revealed to be a place unsightly and to be avoided.

Often in our lives it is the warming sun of God’s love that begins to reveal what we have tried to keep hidden. When we learn to bask in His forgiveness and grace on a daily basis, we find it less of a problem to be consistently open with Him, quickly confessing our sin because we know that nothing can separate us from His love.

Father, thank you for the warmth of your love that can melt my stubborn resistance and draw me close to you.

Work For Peace

Published September 4, 2016

Work For Peace

“You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.” Isaiah 2:26

God often speaks at the most unexpected times. One day I was casually talking with a friend about a situation at my job. In the middle of the conversation I said, “This is driving me crazy.” My friend simply looked at me and said, “Only if you let it.”

In five words, my friend had summed up one of the major issues I have been struggling with for years: how do I keep from giving away the peace I have in Christ?

I confess that I am a perfectionist. If something doesn’t go the way I want it to go, I get anxious and upset. I feel out of control.

I have to remember that the peace of God is with me because the Spirit of God is with me. I must keep my mind on the person and promises of God instead of letting circumstances lead me into thoughts of anxiousness. To me, this means remembering some important truths:

•   I am a child of God (Romans 8:14).
•   God is for me, not against me (Romans 8:31).
•   I have the favor of God (Proverbs 8:35).
•   God’s love for me surpasses my understanding of it (Ephesians 3:19).

It takes practice to keep my mind on Jesus and not on the turmoil around me. But when I can do it, I have His perfect peace in the middle of the storm

Lord, help me cooperate with You to keep my peace. Help me focus my mind on You. Amen.

Forest Fire

Published September 3, 2016

Forest Fire

“Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue is also a fire….” James 3:5-6

The entire town was evacuated. Over eighty thousand people fled the ravaging forest fire. Evacuated friends came to stay with us for nearly seven weeks. Anxiously they watched the news not knowing if their homes would survive. Such incredible devastation created from a small spark!

It reminded me of this verse from the Bible as I recalled some of the devastating “fires” I had been witness to, that were started by a careless tongue. Words spoken thoughtlessly, selfishly, angrily, hastily are often the spark that ignites a blaze that can destroy what may take years to rebuild.

Think about what has come out of your mouth this past week. Did you carelessly throw a spark out on dry grass and were surprised at the quick spread of flames? Did relationships strain because you had an uncontrolled tongue? It’s easy to do. We justify it by tiredness, stressful situations, or another persons aggravating behavior. Yet the choice of our words is entirely our own.

God has a lot to say about the tongue and the words we speak. You’ll find a wealth of wisdom in the book of Proverbs in the Bible.

•   Ask for God to set a guard at your mouth.
•   Ask for His help before careless words come out of your mouth.
•   Be quick to ask His forgiveness and the forgiveness of others when your tongue throws out sparks.
•   When tough issues must be addressed, ask first for the help of God’s Holy Spirit as you respond.
•   Always keep your distance from gossip. Gossip is already a small blaze. You make a choice to throw water or fuel on it as it comes to your ears and tempts your tongue.

You will be amazed at the difference in your relationships, your home, your job, your church and your life when God’s help is the first call on your lips.
Father God,

Your word tells me, “He who guards his lips, guards his life.” Proverbs 13:3.

Please help me today, by the power of Your Holy Spirit, to be careful with quick retorts, unsolicited opinions, critical, sarcastic and negative comments. Help me to mind my tongue as I would mind a match in a dry forest. Give me Your wisdom and grace when I need to address situations and issues and give me a sense of right timing in doing so. Thank you that You provide help and strength to me in this area when I call out to You. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.

Thoughts: If your tongue is causing you trouble these days, read one chapter a day in the book of Proverbs. It will take one month to do that. Underline and ponder every verse that speaks about words, lips and tongue. Keep a journal for the month and see how the atmosphere around you changes as you become a “fire fighter” in your own circle.

Love and Perimeters

Published September 2, 2016

Love and Perimeters

“But the fruit of the Spirit is… self-control.” Galatians 5:22

“I wanna’ hug Bobbi” Tia said.

Tia is our two-year-old granddaughter and she is totally fearless. Bobbi is our 8-month-old Saddle-bred foal. She is tiny and he is really tall. Both of them are young, affectionate and unafraid. As she leaned her head on the colt’s neck, Bobbi responded by nuzzling her neck. Tia’s older sister, Mercedes, was gently petting the neck of the foal’s mother.

Children and horses alike respond to gentleness and affection, but they both need a firm hand once in a while. Tia wanted to walk into the field with the horses. I had to firmly explain to her that it was very dangerous – the foal might run over her.

Then Tia decided it was time to go see Mommy. She was half way down the driveway before I noticed. I couldn’t call, “Tia, come back here!” because I knew she would run away from me toward the highway, so I began asking questions and she stopped and listened. I caught up to her and carried her to the house explaining that going to the road was very dangerous. Children need love, affection, guidance and parameters.

Women respond to love and gentleness, but we too, need perimeters. Many times the satisfaction of momentary pleasures can be tempting, but the results can be devastating. God has set up boundaries in His word because He loves us. They are there to keep us safe. Practicing self-control means saying “No” to the things that God says “No” to. God’s rules are for our benefit. We can follow them fearlessly.

Father, fill us with your Holy Spirit and you will produce ‘”self-control” in our hearts. Amen.

Take Time to Ripen

Prayer & Devotional on bearing fruit through Christ

Published August 22, 2016

Take Time to Ripen

“When you enter the land and plant any kind of fruit tree, regard its fruit as forbidden. For three years you are to consider it forbidden; it must not be eaten. In the fourth year all its fruit will be holy, an offering of praise to the Lord. But in the fifth year you may eat its fruit. In this way your harvest will be increased. I am the Lord your God.” Leviticus 19:23-25

We live in a microwave world. People want instant gratification. Kids right out of college want the corner office with a view and the big paycheck. I see newbie writers convinced their work will be a bestseller… that is, until they join a critique group or submit it to an editor. Any seasoned author knows writing the first draft is only one-fifth of the work. It takes time and effort to develop it into a product ready for the market.

I think some Christians are too anxious to bear their fruit before it is ready. They don’t want to go through the hard work God has in store to prune, weed, and grow them. So they offer a pre-ripe, sour fruit to the world and then wonder why people scrunch their noses and back away.

Now, that is not to say God cannot use them. Of course He can. He uses all of us right where we are in our spiritual journey. But His timing is purposeful. If our spiritual skin has not thickened, we may get easily bruised and our fruit may be less attractive. The full sweetness may have not developed.

I know I have jumped the gun before He had fully prepared me for a mission. Perhaps you have as well. It may not take five years, but we all should wait until the time is ripe instead of rushing ahead of His schedule. That way, He will have fully prepared us to give Him glory, and the harvest of new souls won for Christ will be increased.

Father God, Creator of all. Help us to yield to Your timing before we bear fruit. Guide us by Your Spirit to maturity even though it may take longer and we may have to work harder. Keep us patient in the process and let us not become discouraged as we wait to see what wondrous things You will do through us. In Christ’s name. Amen.

Keeping In Step

Published August 20, 2016

Keeping In Step

Have you ever tried to walk up hill in snow? Not an easy task, if you are the first one to attempt it. But if you find a path that someone has walked before you, the climb up the hill is made much easier by walking in the footsteps of the one who came before.
Galatians 5:22-23 says: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.”

How often have we read that list as a check list and found ourselves lacking?
Love? Well, it depends on the person.
Joy?   I am happy most of the time.
Peace?   Sure, when things are going well.
Patience?   I have some, until somebody makes me lose it!
Kindness?   I am a pretty nice person.
Goodness?   I am better than some people I know.
Faithfulness?    I usually do what I promise most of the time.
Gentleness?   Depends on how you define it.
Self-Control?   There are areas where I could use some more. Doesn’t everybody?

Often reading this list leads to conviction and determination to work harder. Quickly the burden of trying to be more loving, more joyful, more peaceful, more everything becomes overwhelming. It feels like trying to walk uphill in snow.

We must put our feet in the nail-pierced footprints of Jesus, according to Galatians 5:24. “Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there” (NLT). That’s our motivation and power. Galatians 5:25 tells us, “Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.” What sweet relief comes from knowing that my job is not to produce the fruit but to keep in step with the Savior, in alignment with the Spirit who lives His life in me and who produces the fruit.

We have all experienced glimpses of being in step with the Spirit. Think back to that situation when even you were impressed by the level of grace and love you had in a certain tough situation because that wouldn’t have been your normal response. Rather than it being surprising, God wants it to be the norm, the natural flow of being in step with Him.

Be blessed to bring your spirit, soul, and body in step with the Spirit, so that your true beauty, the beauty of God’s Spirit living in you, may show forth. He has given you the good gift of Himself in you. He makes you more like Himself as you let Him transform you into His image. The Holy Spirit reaches into the deep places of your inner being and expresses Himself through you. “As this is the kind of life we have chosen, the life of the Spirit, let us make sure that we do not just hold it as an idea or a sentiment in our hearts, but work out its implications in every detail of our lives” (Galatians 5:25 The Message).

Be blessed to bear much fruit
as you keep in step with the Spirit of all fruit…
love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness, and self-control.

Divine Delays

“We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield.” Psalm 33:20

Marlinda began to sense a problem with Tom. But she loved the attention and fine restaurants. Her date was a tall, handsome, charming lawyer-to-be. He also professed to be a believer.

So she prayed for direction. Ultimately she believed God wanted her to end this storybook relationship. She ignored that feeling and prayed again about her misgivings. But the uneasiness continued.

Stubbornly, she kept on ignoring God’s subtle warnings. But Tom’s charm was only an act to get her to give in physically to him. Because Marlinda refused, Tom left her.

Years later, God’s perfect choice for a husband came into her life. Marlinda Ireland came to see God’s “divine delay” was for her best.

Keep in mind dear one – God’s timing is always with your best in mind.
