Just give me Jesus
October 23, 2019
BIBLE MEDITATION:
Give unto the Lord the glory due unto His name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. Psalm 29:2
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
A man lived a long life as a believer and a follower of Christ, and now he was dying. His loved ones came and asked him to sign his name to a necessary legal document. They explained, “Daddy, if you would sign this, it would help us with a lot of legal difficulties. We hate to mention it, but it needs to be done.”
Facing eternity, with a quivering hand the old man willingly signed the paper. Before long, he went to be with the Lord.
When his family saw the document, to their amazement he had signed, “Jesus.” More than likely, it was the only name that meant anything to him in those moments.
ACTION POINT:
What name means the most to you right now? There will come a time when the only name that will mean anything to you is—Jesus.

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.’”
