Daily Devotional
Are you sure about your agenda?
January 18, 2019
BIBLE MEDITATION:
“And, behold, I come quickly; and My reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work shall be.” Revelation 22:12
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
The difference between people is not that one has more time than the other. The difference is whether they use their time wisely.
You say, “Well, I’m just killing time.” To kill time is to commit suicide by degrees. You are just killing yourself because you + time = life.
Now that doesn’t mean you ought to be busy every moment. There needs to be balance in your life – check in with God first before you make plans and add things to your agenda.
ACTION POINT:
Make sure you are doing what God wants you to do. Jesus came to the end of His life and do you know what He said? “I have glorified Thee on earth. I have finished the work that Thou gavest Me to do” (John 17:4).
FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
