What does God want from you today?
September 14, 2019
BIBLE MEDITATION:
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! Psalm 133:1
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
Do you know what God wants from you today? Reconciliation. That’s far more important than singing in the choir, preaching a sermon, serving in the nursery, or giving an offering. When we learn this, God is going to bring great revival to our churches.
Revival always begins when people begin to confess their faults one to another, pray for one another, and forgive one another. Revival isn’t raising the roof with a lot of emotion. It's getting the walls down. It’s not just saying, “I’m going to get right with God.” It’s saying, “I want to get right with my brothers and sisters.”
ACTION POINT:
When we are reconciled, revival will come. And rejoicing will surely follow. Not just any kind of rejoicing. There will be Holy Spirit joy—joy unspeakable!—when you know there is nothing between your soul and the Savior and nothing between your soul and another believer!

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.’”
