If you keep your eyes on Jesus…
October 26, 2019
BIBLE MEDITATION:
And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. John 16:22
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
When I was a boy, living on the Florida coastline, my brother and I were always a little disappointed when a hurricane passed us by because of the exhilaration we experienced leaning into the wind and tasting the salty air! I can remember ocean waves sometimes reaching fifty feet in the air. What a sight! But did you know there has never been a storm that could move the ocean floor?
Storms will course across the surface of our lives with raging torment, but the child of God can know a deep-down unmovable joy. If you keep your eyes on Jesus, He will bring a joy no one can take from you.
ACTION POINT:
Thank God for the steadfastness of His power, love, and mercy. Is your joy full in Christ today despite the winds of adversity?

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.’”
