BLESSED BY THE BEST

Blessed by the Best Felicia Dawson- I started attending a new church when I moved back to my hometown. I noticed a seasoned greeter, short in stature with outstretched arms, who embraced individuals as they entered her door. If asked how she was doing, with the biggest smile, she responded, “Blessed by the Best!” I nicknamed her the hugger and decided one Sunday to purposely go to her post to be welcomed and receive a warm embrace. My custom was short-lived because COVID-19 became an issue and disrupted our daily lives. Years passed, and the doors of the church reopened. I found a Bible study class, and God graciously orchestrated our paths crossing again. The hugger and I would finally meet and converse as if we were long-lost friends. When asked how she was doing, her response remained the same: “Blessed by the Best!” It is wonderful to be blessed by God, to experience His mercy, goodness, and kindness, and to have a joy-filled contentment we cannot explain when faced with trials. As faithful servants of God, He blesses us even in our circumstances. Unfortunately, our situations can consume us so much that we can easily overlook His blessings. We can testify that God is truly the best because of our relationship with Him and becoming familiar with attributes that define His character, such as knowing He is the Bread of Life and the Bright Morning Star. He is our Everlasting Father and Emmanual, God with us. He is our Shepherd and the Savior of the world. He is the True Vine and the Truth, the BEST. As Scripture states, we are blessed when we trust in the Lord and keep our hope in Him. Blessings come when we are in His presence, and, unlike presents or gifts, anything God gives will fully satisfy us. Think of declarations you can make and actions you can take to reflect being blessed by the best. "Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord." Jeremiah 17:7 NKJV Let's pray-    Father, as prayer is not merely coming to You to ask something from You, it is above all else, fellowship with You and being brought under the power of Your holiness and love, and Your taking possession of us and stamping our entire nature with the lowliness of Christ, which is the secret of all true worship. Help us let this happen in our lives, we pray in Jesus' name, for His glory and our good! Amen. # 94 Testimony- Gail   "Last winter, I flew to see my daughter’s family in California. I left Watertown to Philadelphia and then on to San Diego. I was gone for 10 days. On my return trip December fifth, I discovered Watertown had received three feet of snow! Rather foolishly, I had not anticipated this. I did not have a scraper or brush or shovel in my car since there was no snow when I left. That was surely a mistake!     When I left the terminal and got to my car it was completely snowed in with the three feet of snow covering everything. In addition there was a thin layer of ice underneath it all!  Also, my car was plowed in because they had cleared the lanes for parking, but of course not the cars. All that plowed snow was in front and in back of my car. The situation was pretty hopeless, but I started trying to shove the snow off with my hands.    Just as I bemoaned the desperate situation I was in, a young man jumped out of the car right next to me. He said, 'Hey haven’t you got a scraper or brush? ' I told him,  "sorry – no." He simply handed me two scrapers saying, 'you take the good one and I’ll use the broken one.' Then he hopped into my car and turned the defrost on in the front and the back. He jumped out and started to attack all that snow.     In quick order, my car was cleared and defrosted! He then told me how to manage to back out of all that snow without getting stuck. He stood by and made sure I was all set and wished me well! Of course, I thanked him profusely! He said he was a volunteer fireman and always tried to be prepared!     WOW!! He was like an absolute angel to me, and I will always thank the Lord for His provision of such a caring and able young man.  I know it had to be God’s provision to have such a capable and willing servant parked right next to me!! I still praise God to this day." 1506-1510 One-line Scriptures for those of you who want to learn some more verses this week- or to review them from when they were first posted-    1506- Ps. 116:4 "Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD,                              I beseech thee, deliver my soul." 1507- Luke 18:7,8a "And will not God grant justice to his elect, who cry out to                              him day and night . . . will he delay helping them? I tell you that                              he will swiftly grant them justice." (CBS) 1508- Pro. 19:2a "The soul without knowledge is not good." 1509- Ps. 74:16 "The day is thine, the night also is thine; thou hast prepared the                               light and the sun." 1510- Pro. 3:4   "So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of                              God and man."  #94  Hymn- The Solid Rock   The information about this song,  is taken from the book by Robert J. Morgan, THEN SINGS MY SOUL   (pg. 111)      "Edward Mote was born into poverty on Jan. 21, 1797, in London. His parents, innkeepers, wouldn't allow a Bible in their house, but somehow Edward heard the gospel as a teenager and came to Christ. He eventually became a skilled carpenter and the owner of his own cabinet shop.    "One morning," he recalled, "It came into my mind as I went to labor to write a hymn on the 'Gracious Experience of a Christian.' As I went up to Holborn I had the chorus; On Christ the solid Rock I stand / All other ground is sinking sand.  In the day, I had four verses complete, and wrote them off.    On the Sabbath following, I met brother King who informed me that his wife was very ill, and asked me to call and see her. . . he looked for his hymnbook but could find it nowhere. I said, 'I have some verses in my pocket; if he liked, we could sing them.' We did, and his wife enjoyed them so much that after service he asked me, as a favor, to leave a copy of them for his wife.    I went home, and by the fireside composed the last two verses, wrote the whole off, and took them to sister King . . . As these verses so met the dying woman's case, my attention to them was the more arrested, and I had a thousand printed for distribution."  Some encouraging words-    Karen 'Girl' Friday- "God created love and demonstrated love on Calvary’s cross through His Son—a show-and-tell affection. Jesus loved us so much, He died for us. Loving Jesus above all else isn’t radical Christianity or even Jesus freaks. It’s the heart of true disciples." Church Notes:     If we're captive of our past, Christ can help us see what has held us captive, and then reach down into our lives and free us! If we're obedient to Him, we'll learn how He wants us to live. Let Jesus take care of the past! If we have ears to hear, let's hear His words as we call out to Him to be delivered and healed. He will manifest Himself to us!

A NEW BEGINNING

 

A NEW BEGINNING

Brandie Muncaster-  "Before the beginning, darkness filled the silent, lonely space. Looking out into the vast chasm of nothingness, void of purpose and companionship, God the Creator imagined, considered, and dreamed of all the possibilities of what He could make.

Then He chose, plotted, and planned. He made something out of nothing, creating the universe with His words. He said, 'Let there be,' and it was. Light burst forth. Stars hung in the sky. Planets circled the earth. Land formed into mountains, hills, and plains. Water poured into seas, rivers, and lakes. Plants grew. Clouds made shapes, snow, and rain. The wind whispered and wailed. The sun shone brightly during the day, and the moon at night.

Animals came alive. Humans too. Nature stood marked with the Maker’s fingerprints of purpose on every square inch of the world. Then the Creator gazed at what He had made and loved what He saw. It was beautiful.

All of creation is a product of God’s powerful words. He created all things according to His greatness, goodness, and wisdom to display His awesome wonder perfectly. Each time He speaks, what He commands is manifested.

Not only did God’s words have the power to create the universe at the beginning of time, they also have the power to transform and redirect our lives when we need a new beginning. Amid our darkness, emptiness, and isolation, He can revive, encourage, and direct us onto a path that breathes new life and purpose into our weary souls. 

Do you need a new beginning of God’s grace, love, and empowerment? The same God who made you and everything in the universe is looking down from heaven today and observing your life. Ask Him to speak something new into you, then partner with Him and watch His powerful words manifest the goodness and beauty He desires for your fresh start."  

Let's pray-

     Father, before the beginning of creation, we believe that You looked at the darkness, and feeling the chasm of nothingness and void of purpose, You imagined, considered and dreamed of all the possibilities of what You could make.

     Then You chose, plotted and planned on making something out of nothing, creating the universe with Your words. Your saying, "Let there be," brought light bursting forth. The stars appeared in the sky. Planets circled the earth, and land formed into mountains, hills and plains. Water was poured into the seas, rivers and lakes. Plants grew. Clouds made shapes for rain and snow. The wind whispered and wailed, and the sun shone brightly during the day and the moon at night.

     The animals came alive as well as humans. Nature stood marked with Your fingerprints of purpose on every square inch of the world. You gazed at what You had made and loved what You saw, as it was beautiful!

     All of creation was the product of Your powerful words. You created all things according to Your greatness, goodness and wisdom, to display Your awesome wonder perfectly. Each time You spoke, what You commanded was manifested!

     You still have the power to transform and redirect our lives when we need a new beginning. Amid our darkness, emptiness and isolation You can revive, encourage and direct us onto a path that breathes new life and purpose into our weary souls.

     As You're looking down from heaven today and are observing our lives, please speak words that manifest the goodness and beauty You desire for our fresh start.

 In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen  

#93 Testimony- Basil

  "One day Basil came to meet me. I saw in his eyes something I had never seen before. He looked like someone who carried a secret that he could no longer bear. I felt that his eyes were revealing that secret, even before his tongue could do so.

   He started pacing back and forth, talking like someone who was thinking aloud and not talking to me in particular. It was a unique speech!

  "After a long time of studious search and sleepless nights, looking for a moment of safety and a father's heart to welcome back the prodigal son, I have to tell you that the road of searching is not rosy. On the contrary, many times I felt myself drowning in a flood of questions with no answers.

   Sometimes I was about to abandon my objectivity and just embrace any religion, like a drowning man grasping at anything, but I could not deny that the power of the Almighty surrounded me. When I hit rock bottom, totally frustrated, I could feel a new hope infiltrating my soul, giving me new strength to lift me up and guide my steps on the way.

   Every morning, I renewed my commitment to seek the goal and to persevere until I discovered the truth, to find out the God who would reconcile me with heaven, with myself, and with other people — all other people, friends and enemies alike.

   I was looking for a God who could change my heart, even create a new heart in me—a heart that knows how to praise Him, to have mercy, to forgive, to care, to shine, and to change the world for the better!

   Would you believe it, my friend? I've found that wonderful, great God! He is my Savior, my God, my crown, my strenth, my Lord, my cause, and my struggle—Jesus Christ!"

 

1496-1500 One-line Scriptures for those of you who want to learn some more verses this week- or to review them from when they were first posted- 
 

1496- 2 Chron. 34:2a "And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD."

1497- Pro. 13:6a "Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way."

1498- Ps. 119:62 "At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of 

          thy righteous judgments."

1499- Pro. 19:17 "He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that 

          which he hath given will He pay him again."

1500- Is. 12:1a "And on that day thou shalt say, O LORD,  will praise thee."

 #93  Hymn- Nearer, My God, ToThee  

The information about this song,  is taken from the book by Robert J. Morgan, THEN SINGS MY SOUL   (pp. 14,15)

 

   Sarah Flower Adams, the author of Nearer, My God, to Thee, was born in Harlow, England, in the winter of 1805. Her father was a newspaper editor and a man of prominence. In 1837 she played "Lady MacBeth" in the Richmond Theater in London to rave reviews.

   Her frail health hampered her career, however, and she found herself focusing more on her literary gifts. It's said that she wrote quickly, as if under compulson: and seldom did editors find anything to change in her work. Among her compositons were hymns of praise to the Lord. Sarah's sister, Eliza, a gifted musician, often wrote the music for her hymns. The two were very close. 

   Her pastor was compiling a church hymn book and he wanted to include some of their hymns. He further mentioned that he was frustrated at his inability to find a hymn to go along with the upcoming Sunday's message, which was from the story of Jacob and Bethel in Genesis 28:20-22.

  Sarah offered to write a hymn based on those verses. For the rest of the week she poured over the passage, visualizing Jacob's sleeping with a stone for his pillow as he dreamed of a ladder reaching to heaven. The following Sunday, her church sang Sarah's hymn, "Nearer, My God, to Thee."

 Some encouraging words-

Some things we've done are so deeply regretted, but because they drew us closer to God, and because He has fogiven us, we know first hand how gracious He is!

(see Luke 7:47)


Church Notes: 

    A lot of what God whats to do in our lives will depend on our willingness to submit totally to His leading. He wants to build in us hearing ears and boldness to teach others of His Kingdom living, how we're to stand and to set our minds on heavenly ways to handle things. We're to set our minds on thngs above. 

   The question is, "How do we talk?" What we set our minds on, and not saying the "can't" word, and getting alone with the One who can change us, will help us see what we are captivated to, and what's been said in our past that we've believed.

THE RODEO GIRL

 

 The Rodeo Girl

 

Theresa Pierce-

"In our diversity class while in graduate school, we were challenged to explore a new way of thinking. We brainstormed all the ways people are diverse, starting with the obvious race, religion, and sex areas. Then, it surprised us all when stories unfolded about learning styles, interests, and lifestyles.

An idea for my project unfolded as I thought about a student in my class who was a rodeo girl. I was struck with the notion that while my class at the time lacked diversity in typical terms, I knew nothing of her life outside my class. It would prove to be a worthwhile adventure.

At the rodeo, my student was in her element. She wore a large cowboy hat and ran to greet me. She took me by the hand and gave me a backstage tour. I met her mentors called “rodeo moms.” I shook hands with a rodeo clown and got close and personal with the animals.

She encouraged me to sit back and enjoy the show while she explained what was happening. I became a student that day. She was typically shy, so this was the most I had ever heard her talk. She explained the role of the rodeo clown. His job was dangerous and entailed distracting and protecting the man thrown from the bull. She explained what she would be doing when her time was up.

I watched my fellow student rope and tie a goat in record time and stand confidently on the rodeo floor. Her attire and everything about her shone with what was a newfound success for me. I immediately thought, 'I need rodeo reading materials in my classroom.'

After that experience and my class report to my fellow graduate students, I looked at my peers and bookcase differently. A lightbulb had gone off. We serve a God who created the earth but also people in all their creative glory. We have much to learn and celebrate.Think of someone in your life who deserves a second glance. Then, think of ways you can meet them where they are."

"There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male or female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." Galatians 3:28 NIV

Let's pray-

  Father, we are challenged to explore new ways of thinking, even while attending school. All the stories unfold about learning styles, interest and lifestyles.

  The author today was struck with the notion that while her class lacked diversity, she would be adventurous, and found that at a rodeo. She met her one student's mentors called "rodeo moms," and shook hands with a rodeo clown and got close and personal with the animals.

  She was encouraged to sit back and enjoy the show while it was explained to her. She became a student that day. As she watched her student rope and tie a goat in record time and stand confidently on the rodeo floor, she saw that she needed to have materials on rodeos in her classroom.

   After her report to her fellow graduate students, she looked at her peers and bookcase differently. A lightbulb had gone off. We serve a God who created the earth but also people in all their creative glory. We have much to learn and celebrate! 

It's in Jesus' name that we pray. Amen

#91 Testimony-  Father God

   It was not possible for the Father to look upon Jesus until He covered His own body with His blood and died. Only then could the Father turn and gaze again upon His only begotten Son. Christ's sacrifice accomplished His life for our life--that is what the Father demanded. 

   God looked not on our sin, but on His Son's blood. That was enough; His son had offered His life in His blood for all mankind. The Father had respect for the pure offering, and our redemption was made complete.

   We do not offer our own works; we offer only Jesus' blood. When God sees the blood of His son, which we offer as our covering, pardon, and plea, He does not see our sin at all; He can see only the covering, the precious blood of Jesus. "It is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul" (Lev. 17:11). 

Some additional Scriptures to look up: John 3:16; Eph. 2:4-5; Rom. 3:22-24

1491-1495 One-line Scriptures for those of you who want to learn some more verses this week- or to review them from when they were first posted-  

1491- Ps. 7:17 I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and I will 

                           sing praise to the name of the LORD most high."

1492- Ps. 30:1a "I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up."

1493- Ecc. 7:13a "Consider the work of God."

1494- Ps. 94:10b "He that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?" 

1495- Jer. 49:11b "I will preserve them alive; and let thy widows trust in me."

 #91 Hymn-  Crown Him with Many Crowns 

The information about this song,  is taken from the book by Robert J. Morgan, THEN SINGS MY SOUL  (pg. 125)

   "The original form of this hymn was written by Matthew Bridges and consisted of six eight-line stanzas. He thought of his hymn as a sermon in song, based on Revelation 19:12 '. . . and on His head were many crowns."

   In 1874, Godfrey Thring, a staunch Anglican clergyman feared that some of Bridges' verses smacked too much of Catholic doctrine. . . Over the years these twelve stanzas have become intermingled in the hymnbooks, with editors mixing and matching the verses."

 Some encouraging words-

   Jesus wants us to give our anxiety to Him, as He cares deeply for us. He wants us to give it to Him. In the honesty of that exchange between our heart and His, something precious is won. Our relationship with God deepens and new trust flourishes that will help us receive His peace more easily the next time challenges come. He has us, and that matters most of all!

  God’s plans are higher than ours. We can trust Him in confidence without knowing the outcome. When we seek and acknowledge Him, He guides us on His straight path. What wonderful, incredible love He has for us. When we hold our hands together in prayer,  let's envision the Lord’s nail-scarred hands cupped around ours as a reminder those scars were for us.

Church Notes: 

   THe world wants us to believe that we need more! What we need is contentment in Christ's provision, right now, not yesterday or tomorrow! God created us for a purpose to accomplish something for Him. He looks at our hearts and longs to bring us to Christ, and to perfect His image in us. We're to live for Him! We don't need to know the future, as He does, and will make us aware when it is needed.

UNDER ATTACK

 

Under Attack

   

Jorden Zuniga- As I write this devotion, I have dealt with some rather impatient and not-so-friendly people inside and outside of the church who didn't particularly like me engaging with the church or talking about Jesus. I encountered people who passive-aggressively hinted that they didn't want me there and didn't like me talking about Jesus. I felt discouragement, animosity, and even competition when I tried to talk about theological topics.

However, as I considered how to deal with this opposition and the cost of following Jesus, I remembered that Jesus warned how the world would hate us because it hated Him long before it hated us. People will hate those who preach the truth because they prefer the comfort of a lie over the truth.

The world — in its sinful rebellion, pride, and selfish ambition — hates Christ and anyone who exposes its sin and proclaims Christ is the only way to heaven. As such, we should expect persecution, animosity, and hatred from those outside the church, carnal Christians, and wolves in sheep's clothing who only want to use the gospel for their selfish and covetous purposes.

   If you are under attack because of your love for Jesus or your passion for bringing the gospel in a solid and biblical way, don't be surprised. You are facing spiritual warfare. Christ foretold these persecutions and sorrows, but be encouraged. Christ has already overcome the world."  

“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.”  John 15:18 NIV

Let's pray-

   Father, some folks have dealt with impatient and not-so-friendly people who didn't particularly like their engaging with the church or talking about Jesus. They may have encountered folks with passive-aggressively hinting that they didn't want them to talk about Jesus. We also may have felt discouragement, animosity and even competition when we tried to talk about theological topics.

   However, as we consider how to deal with this opposition and the cost of following Jesus, help us remember that Jesus warned us how the world would hate us because it hated Him long before it hated us. People will hate those who preach the truth because they prefer the comfort of a lie over the truth.

   The world — in it's sinful rebellion, pride, and selfish ambition — hates Christ and anyone who exposes its sin and proclaims Christ is the only way to heaven. As such, we are to expect persecution, animosity, and hatred from those outside the church, carnal Christians, and wolves in sheep's clothing who only want to use the gospel for their selfish and covetous purposes.

   When we're under attack because of loving You, or of our passion for bringing the gospel in a solid and bibilical way, we won't be surprised, as we are facing spiritual warfare. Remind us that Christ has already overcome the world! 

   We ask in Jeus' name for Your protection and direction in living our lives to honor You. Amen

#90 Testimony- Quote from Prison to Praise,  Merlin Carothers, (pp, 105,106)

   "There is a ladder of praise and I believe that everyone without exception can begin to praise God right now in whatever situation he may find himself.

   For our praise to reach the perfection God wants for us, it needs to be free of any thoughts of reward. Praise is not another way of bargaining with the Lord. We don't say,' Now we've praised You in the middle of this mess, so get us out of it!'

   Praising God with a pure heart means we must let God cleanse our hearts from impure motives and hidden designs. We have to experience dying to self so that we can live again in Christ in newness of mind and spirit.

   Dying to self is a progressive journey, and I have come to believe it is traveled only through praise. God is calling us to praise Him, and the highest form of praise is the one Paul exhorts us to give in Hebrews 13:15: 'By (Christ) therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to his name.'

   The sacrifice of praise is offered when all is darkness around us. It is offered of a heavy heart, unto God because He is God and Father and Lord. As we begin to praise Him, on whatever step of the ladder we may be, His Holy Spirit begins to fill our beings more and more.

   To continually praise Him means a steady decrease of self and an increase of the presence of Christ within us until with Peter we rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory."    

   
 
1486-1490 One-line Scriptures for those of you who want to learn some more verses this week- or to review them from when they were first posted- 
 

1486- Is. 33:13 "Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are 

          near, acknowledge my might."

1487- Is. 55:9 "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways

          higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."

1488- Jer. 1:17b "Speak unto them all that I command thee."

1489- Ps. 119:36 "Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetosness." 

1490- Pro. 4:2 "For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law."

 #90 Hymn- Revive Us Again

 

The information about this song,  is taken from the book by Robert J. Morgan, THEN SINGS MY SOUL   (pg. 147)

 

    This is the testimony of Scottish doctor, W. P Mackay, author of "Revive Us Again." "My dear mother . . . had been a godly, pious woman, quite often telling me of the Savior, and many times I had been a witness to her wrestling in prayer for my soul's salvation. . ."

   After He had lived a wicked life, and as a doctor he witnessed a man who asked for the "Book" that his landlady had, to be given him as he lay dying. 

   He took the Book and could not believe his eyes. It was the Bible his mother had given to him when he left his parents' home, and which later, when short of money, sold for a small amount. His name was still in it, written in his mother's hand . . . Be it suifficient to say that the regained possession of his Bible was the cause of his conversion!

 Some encouraging words-

   If we pray as Jesus commands us to pray, we obligate ourselves to first know what God's will is through our study of the Scriptures; and then to do it! Before we begin to pray or even think of doing it, the holiness and glory of God Himself must be paramount in our hearts.

Church Notes: 

   God, being who He is, cannot cease to be what He is, and being what He is, He cannot act out of character with Himself. All that He is must accord with all that He does. From the beginning, belief in the perfection of God brought sweet assurance to the believing man and taught him to sing. Only as we have complete assurance that He is faithful, may we live in peace and look forward with assurance to the life to come.

   Above all we must believe that God sees us perfect in His Son, while He disciplines and chasens and purges us, that we may be partakers of His holiness.
