Devotion on Missions, Isaiah 6:8. 2 pages.
And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me” (Isaiah 6:8).
Unlike Isaiah’s eager response, my initial reaction when asked to join a Haiti mission team was “Who, me? I’m a hot-headed, socially clumsy, middle-aged, adult convert from the backwoods. What credentials do I have to offer a team of experienced mission trippers?” I thought.

Devotion on Relationship with God, Prayer, Colossians 1:9-12. 2 pages.
As St. Paul said to the Colossians 1:9-12, And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy, giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.
We share in that inheritance because of Jesus’ death and resurrection. In thankfulness to this gift of salvation, we commit ourselves to following His will. However, sometimes it is difficult to know what God intends for us to do.

Devotion on Family Living, Christian Living, 1 Samuel 1:27-28a. 1 page.
I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him. So now I give him to the LORD. For his whole life he will be given over to the LORD (1 Samuel. 1:27-28a NIV).
Throughout life we all pass from one stage into another, such as graduating from a school, being joined in marriage, or advancing in a profession. Each stage brings new experiences, additional responsibilities, and a renewed sense of purpose. This devotion looks at parenthood and grandparenthood.

Devotion on Christian Living, Proverbs 1:5a. 2 pages.
Let the wise hear and increase in learning (Proverbs 1:5a).
Do you remember being excited as a child about going back to school? There are times in my life now that I want to go back to school. I would like the routine of a school day to structure my busy life.

It is that time of year; time to say those three little words that mothers love to hear – “Back to School!” … Visual aids are a great teaching tool. Who says they have to be limited to the classroom? Take a good look at what is in this backpack. It is full of object lessons.
Props: Backpack with these items inside: ruler, school glue, eraser, pencil and crayons in the colors of brown, black, red, orange, green, blue, purple, yellow and white.

Devotion on Christian Living, 1 Peter 2:21. 1 page.
For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps (1 Peter 2:21).
We seldom give our feet a second thought – except, of course, when they are painful or troublesome or our shoes don’t fit; then they demand our whole attention.

Devotion on Relationship with God, Christian Living, Renewal, Psalm 42:1-2, Psalm 63:1. 1 page.
As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God (Psalm 42:1-2).
O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water (Psalm 63:1).
These words shine a spotlight directly on the need we all have to have our thirst quenched by God. The general activities of our life can make us dry. The stress and anxiety we face can make us dry. Add every weight and sin which clings so closely (Hebrews 12:1) to the mix and our soul can seem pretty parched.

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts” (Isaiah 55:8–9).

Devotion on Relationship with God, Jesus the Good Shepherd, Psalm 103:15-17a. 1 page.
As for man, his days are like grass; he flourishes like a flower of the field; for the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place knows it no more. But the steadfast love of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him (Psalm 103:15-17a).
No matter where we live, our lives experience times of spiritual “drought,” times when we grow weary of pulling the “weeds” that the world, the devil, and our flesh put in our path.
