Daily Devotional
What’s your #1 priority today?
September 16, 2019
BIBLE MEDITATION:
For thou shalt be His witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard. Acts 22:15
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
What’s more important in your life today? Seeing the next episode of your favorite TV series? Or asking an unsaved neighbor over for a chance to love them to Jesus? Playing a round of golf, or visiting your unsaved father? Going shopping with friends, or taking time to read the Bible to a lost person in a nursing home? Someone wisely observed, “We manage to make time for what’s really important to us.”
Friend, time is running out. Jesus said, “I must work the works of Him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work” (John 9:4).
We will not be witnessing in heaven. That’s our earthly duty and privilege now. None of us knows how many hours we have left. We must seize the golden opportunities God gives us daily to witness.
ACTION POINT:
A line from “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” is our challenge: “Oh, be swift, my soul to answer Him! Be jubilant, my feet! Our God is marching on.”

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.’”
