LWML On The Go

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.

Finding the Way

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.

God, You Want Me?

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.

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.
