DEVOTION:  Psalm 136:1-9  English Standard Version (ESV)

His Steadfast Love Endures Forever

136 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,
    for his steadfast love endures forever.
Give thanks to the God of gods,
    for his steadfast love endures forever.
Give thanks to the Lord of lords,
    for his steadfast love endures forever;

to him who alone does great wonders,
    for his steadfast love endures forever;
to him who by understanding made the heavens,
    for his steadfast love endures forever;
to him who spread out the earth above the waters,
    for his steadfast love endures forever;
to him who made the great lights,
    for his steadfast love endures forever;
the sun to rule over the day,
    for his steadfast love endures forever;
the moon and stars to rule over the night,
    for his steadfast love endures forever;

23 It is he who remembered us in our low estate,
    for his steadfast love endures forever;
24 and rescued us from our foes,
    for his steadfast love endures forever;
25 he who gives food to all flesh,
    for his steadfast love endures forever.

26 Give thanks to the God of heaven,
    for his steadfast love endures forever.

 

There is nothing better than knowing we have a God whose love is both steadfast and eternal.  It's not conditional.  It's not going to fade away.  He won't get angry or bitter.  He won't have wanderlust and be looking for the next and newest thing.  He is as steady as a couple who's been married for sixty years and are still in love.  He's as sure as the sun coming up every morning.  He as faithful as……  well there is no comparison, because no one and nothing is more faithful than he is. 

 

This passage repeats the same line over and over, because we need that reminder over and over every minute of every day.  We need to know that when our world is crumbling all around us, because of sin, death, and the devil; we have a God whose steadfast love endures forever. 

 

The longer you live on earth, the more you see your own faults, failures and shortcomings.   You see that if it's up to you, you are in trouble.  If it's all up to God, everything is sure, certain, complete and good. 

 

Praise the Lord that His steadfast love endures forever and that nothing is ever going to separate you from His love in Christ Jesus. 

 

Prayer: Lord, thank you for your steadfast eternal love.  I will rest in it today.  Amen.

Prayer request from Pat King





Sent via the Samsung Galaxy S®6 active, an AT&T 4G LTE smartphone


I would like to add my 18 year old nephew, Jacob Hammers, to our prayer list. He went into the hospital late Friday night after having 3 grand mal seizures at home. He had another in the ER, then his heart stopped for about 10 seconds. Thanks be to God, he spontaneously cardioverted.  His heart rate remained unstabled that 1st 24 hours – dropping down to the low 40s then bouncing up into tachycardia. Last night his heart rate dropped down to the 30s. Since that first arrest in the ER, he's had at least 2 others.

He has been moved to Mo. Baptist in St. Louis County. 

 I am guessing his sinus node is not firing, causing his heart to fail to beat. And, after just talking to my niece Jenny – his mom – the docs at Mo Bapt. tend to agree. Whether it is just a cardiovascular issue – or a neurological one, with the brain failing to send the proper message to the heart – they are currently uncertain. Either way, it is serious.
Since this is a potentially life-threatening situation, we would really appreciate some prayers. He is only alive right now, through Divine intervention.

DEVOTION:  Matthew 13:44-52

44 "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

45 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, 46 who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.

47 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind. 48 When it was full, men drew it ashore and sat down and sorted the good into containers but threw away the bad. 49 So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous 50 and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

51 "Have you understood all these things?" They said to him, "Yes."52 And he said to them, "Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house, who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old."

 

Jesus is throwing all kinds of comparisons at us today in this reading.  He wants to help us understand what the kingdom of heaven is like.  He wants to, but our brains are so corrupted by the ways and means of the world that it all goes over our heads. 

Some say that it means that the man and the merchant are both God and that he gave up everything (His own beloved Son) to purchase us. 

Others say, that the merchant and the man are both us. When we receive the good news, ie. the field and the pearl, we will give up everything, even our very lives, to attain it.

Then we have another judgment parable.  This simply reminds us that there will be a judgment at the end of this world and those who are good fish will be kept forever with Jesus.

At the end Jesus says something that is really hard to understand.  Most scholars believe that the "treasure" Jesus refers to is the Word of God.  The "old" is the Old Testament and the "new" is the New Testament which many of his disciples would alter record. 

So much stuff to digest and we've only cracked the surface.  God's Word is full and we'll never understand it all.  He who has ears…… 

 

Let us pray: Holy Spirit, open my ears, my mind, and my heart to better understand your Word more and more each day.  Amen.

 

SEE YOU SUNDAY!

DEVOTION:  Romans 8:28-39English Standard Version (ESV)

28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good,[a] for those who are called according to his purpose. 29 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30 And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.

God's Everlasting Love

31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be[b] against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?33 Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.[c] 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36 As it is written,

"For your sake we are being killed all the day long;
    we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered."

37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

 

I know of no other section of Scripture that is quoted to help people who are struggling than these verses.  I'm sure a lot of you have a piece of wall art, a plaque, at t-shirt, or a picture that has at least one quote from these verses.  There are tons of wonderful and helpful words of encouragement in these verses.  I've probably used it more than any other section when it comes to encouraging people who are struggling with any number of issues. 

 

You should memorize this whole section of Scripture so that when you are feeling down, when you are discouraged by the way things are goin in your life or in the world, or when you just need to be reminded of God's power, might, and love you can easily call these verses to mind. 

 

He is on our side!  He is FOR US!  Nothing can separate us from His love!  He is going to work everything out for our good!  He is the one who is judge, jury, executioner, lawyer, and advocate and he is FOR US! 

 

Take these words to heart today!  Live in them!  Keep them as your motto, your battle cry, and your constant reminders! 

 

Prayer: Lord, thank you for being on my side, being FOR ME, and for working it all out.  Amen.
