Daily Devotional
What do you want to be recognized for?
February 12, 2019
BIBLE MEDITATION:
Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed thereto according to Thy word. Psalm 119:9
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
A child delights in what he has.
A youth delights in what he does.
An adult delights in what he is.
The more mature you are, the more you will desire to be something—not just to have something or do something, but be something.
What do you desire to be today? Someone known for the way they dress? The deals they close? The house they live in? Or do you want others to know you for who you are: one with a pure heart—a heart utterly devoted and surrendered to God.
ACTION POINT:
Matthew 5:8 says, “Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God.” They will know the unknowable, they will do the impossible, and they will see the invisible. I want to have a heart like that. What about you?
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.’”
