Devotion on Christian Living, Psalm 21:6. 2 pages.
For you make him most blessed forever; you make him glad with the joy of your presence (Psalm 21:6).
When most of us think of blessings, we think of the happy times. But are our blessings always positive? Consider it this way. Can a negative experience be a blessing?

Devotion on Servant, Service, Christian Living, Mark 10:45. 1 page.
“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45).
When we ask young ones what they want to be when they grow up, they might say a policeman, a fireman, an actress, or a bookkeeper. It’s doubtful that many would say they want to be a servant. A servant! That is just what our Lord Jesus chose to be.

Devotion on Struggles & Challenges, Trust, Isaiah 41:10. 2 pages.
fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand (Isaiah 41:10).
We live in a world with many challenges to face each and every day. Sometimes these challenges can be overwhelming, resulting in distress that creates a sense of fear. … That, in turn, often results in worry or anxiety — one of Satan’s favorite tools.

Devotion on Joy in the Journey, Discipleship, Witnessing, Luke 5:5, 10. 1 page.
Simon answered, “Master, we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.” … Then Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid; from now on you will catch men” (Luke 5:5, 10).
The call to discipleship did not end with the Twelve. Each one of us blessed by faith through the gift of the Spirit is also both called and enabled by God to follow our leader, Jesus. Will you trust Him to make you one of His “fishermen”?

Devotion on Comfort and Hope, Stress, Psalm 55:17. 1 page.
It's easy to get overwhelmed by the world's troubles. Yet God tells us that, As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you (Isaiah 66:13a). How blessed are we to have a loving God who cares for each of us as a mother cares for her child.

Devotion on Christian Living, Kindness, Psalm 116:5. 1 page.
The Lord is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion (Psalm 116:5).
The little boy cries in distress but no one seems to notice. Just a few moments later another little boy approaches, puts his arm around him and says, “Don’t cry. I am here.” What a simple statement but yet so reassuring and comforting! … How do we show compassion daily?

Devotion on Marriage, Ephesians 5:25, 28. 2 pages.
Finding a life-long mate is a gift from God. A marriage is not without its long and tiresome journeys, dusty and dirty roads, and annoying circumstances that may bug or even hurt you. But a loyal husband vows companionship and care, and a peace-filled wife finds comfort in his promise.
A life-long union between a husband and his wife brings each spouse comfort and joy. Our eternal life-long union with God which began when we were baptized, gives us the perfect comfort and joy that only our trustworthy God can give.

Devotion on Christian Living, Salvation, John 14:6. 1 page.
I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me (John 14:6).
Being lost is not fun. Sometimes we find ourselves lost in a lifestyle of our own devices. We feel overwhelmed with things in our life that are beyond our control. That’s when our only hope is to step back, take a deep breath, and let God be God for a better direction for our life.
