Devotion: I Am the Lord Your God

 God is going to accelerate your dreams!!!!!!

Daily Bible Verse

Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. ~Romans 6:13

Daily Inspiration

Every single part of us should be dedicated to godliness and righteousness. We should never let any of our thoughts, gifts, or talents profit the enemy and his kingdom of darkness. From the job that you work in to the workouts you do, make sure that they give glory to God.

Daily Prayer

Dear God, I commit all my thoughts, gifts, talents, and activities into Your hands. Lord, may you show me the ones that do not bring glory to Your name and may You help me only do the ones that reflect Your tur light. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen!

All I need is You, Lord!!!!!

I Am the Lord Your God

By Frances Taylor

I Am the Lord Your God: When we consider the commandment, which do we think are the easiest to keep? ~Exodus 20:2-7

When you consider the commandments, which do you think are the easiest to keep? I wouldn’t be surprised if you name to first two. However, I think they can be the most difficult. Let’s look at the first commandment. Do we put God first? I don’t know where it is elsewhere, but in the United States, ministers of every denomination complain that families are not going to church on Sunday because of sports. The children play sports on Sunday mornings because the adults who coach them want to watch sports on television in the afternoon. Sports have become a god. What about companies that require their workers to sacrifice time with their families if they intend to move up in the ranks? Ambition has become a god. With the media telling us that anything that feels good must be good, whether doing so breaks another commandment or not, pleasure has become a god. I could go on, but you get the picture. have you made anything or anyone a god in your life? on to the second one. Where can you go where you do not hear the name of the Lord taken in vain? Where can you go and not hear cursing? Music, movies, television, the man or woman in the supermarket, children in school, all seem to have no problem with any of these. Do you use “hell, damn” or the Lord’s name in your conversation? We complain about foul language, but that’s only offensive, not forbidden by the commandments but called sinful by Paul. Let’s think again about how we live these two important commandments and promise to do a better job.

Prayer

Lord, may we truly put You first in our lives, not just in our words but also in our action. May we think before we take Your name in vain and eliminate curse words from our speech? Amen.

Just pray and everything will be fine!!!!!!!

When You Pray

Give us this day our daily bread. ~Matthew 6:11
