Heavenly Father, there are many trials and tribulations that we face here on earth. It seems we get over one hurdle only to face another, but we are comforted when we remember that we are not alone in our trials, nor are we the only ones to face difficulty. The greatest test and the greatest triumph were both present at the death and resurrection of our Redeemer, Jesus Christ who overcame death and the grave. Help us to remember there is no triumph if there is no test. We take courage when we undergo testings and tribulation when our minds are focused on Jesus, not the trouble at hand. Keep me true, Lord Jesus, keep me true. There's a race that I must run and victories to be won. Give me power, every hour, to be true. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.

Heavenly Father, You bless the righteous; those of us who fear and serve You are a joyful people. Our fear is not that which You cast out but that which Your love brings in. You lay up blessings for us and our descendants who walk in Your righteous path. Riches of eternal nature are bestowed upon them, as well as the earthly provisions that are profitable for them. We can have blessed assurance knowing that in the darkest hours of affliction and trial, the light of Your hope and goodness will spring up within us, turning our mourning into dancing and our testing into a testimony that glorifies You. We want to be remembered as a victorious people who walked in Your paths of righteousness all our days. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.

Contentment from You cannot be packaged and sold, but it can be a way of life as we align our priorities in accordance to Your will. Teach us the great gain we experience by setting our heart’s affections not on this world’s changing and peril-stricken economy, but by storing up treasures in heaven’s economy where eternal riches can never perish, spoil or fade. May that precious truth help us find contentment in a non-content society. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.

Because of this most wondrous act of sacrificial love I have been forgiven of my sins. I want to live for You all the days of my life and take as many to heaven with me as I can. Help me to share freely and generously the marvelous message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all who will listen. In the name of Jesus Christ, my loving Lord and Savior, I pray. Amen. For those that would like to hear today's devotion, you can do that by going to our ministry YouTube channel: youtu.be/ESzkb7NoWr8 Heavenly Father, we know that You are a faithful God, keeping Your covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love You and keep Your commandments. Your love is so abundant that You not only have provided for our physical needs but also our spiritual need of salvation. We have not seen, nor have we heard and our mind has not fully conceived of the things You have prepared for us but we look with anticipation to the time when we will receive all that You have promised to those who love You. But in the meanwhile we remain faithful and trust You for all that weighs our hearts down; In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. For those that would like to hear today's devotion, you can do that by going to our ministry YouTube channel: youtu.be/12t4kOqpnjk Heavenly Father, Your Word indicates there's rejoicing in heaven when a loved one is called home, but there's surely a lot of rejoicing as well when an ungodly cycle is broken where generations have not followed in Your ways. We thank You for the transforming power evident in couples who are committed to You and influence others for Your kingdom. On this day we pray for couples to be wholeheartedly committed to their marriage partner. May theirs be an enduring love for at the end of one's life the greatest gift we can give one another is enduring love. It will hold us together when other things around us fall apart. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. For those that would like to hear today's devotion, you can do that by going to our ministry YouTube channel: youtu.be/blw5rlEEsfg Heavenly Father, we are thankful for the words of Christ who says, "All things are possible to him who believes." The desperate father whose son needed physical healing was very candid with Jesus when he responded, "I do believe. Help me overcome my unbelief." Father, You know our hearts and You know that's just how we feel about certain unresolved troubles in our life. We want to believe but in these matters we struggle with unbelief. Just as You met this desperate father and healed his son, You will meet us in our hour of need. So our prayer is like that of the father, "I do believe. Help my unbelief." In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. For those that would like to hear today's devotion, you can do that by going to our ministry YouTube channel: youtu.be/E_DtP0GGrRs Heavenly Father, Your infinite mercy is among the greatest gifts You impart upon Your creation alongside the marvelous truth that Your love and compassion knows no bounds. Your power and authority far exceed any human role or title established on this earth, yet You love us personally with an inexhaustible and enduring devotion. We are never cast aside as being unimportant or worthless in Your sight, for You refer to us repeatedly as Your treasured possession. Your loving mercy is never-ending, always extended to us in our time of need. We can indeed declare 'Your mercy is more'. In Jesus name. Amen. For those that would like to hear today's devotion, you can do that by going to our ministry YouTube channel youtu.be/73QsBIuA5wI Heavenly Father, since the church is a living organism it brings about many changes, both positive and negative, from day to day, year to year. The account of the Israelites proves there's a continual developing story as they respond, often unfavorably, to the various challenging circumstances in their wanderings in the desert and later in Canaan. We think of the leaders, some very strong in their faith, and others who weakened during times of temptation and testing. Father God, thank you raising up the Aarons and Hurs in our churches who hold up the feeble arms of our Christian leaders during times of spiritual battle. Help us to walk together heart to heart and hand in hand. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. For those that would like to hear today's devotion, you can do that by going to our ministry YouTube channel youtu.be/nxw3gB2J5cw Heavenly Father, I am thankful for the inspiration of the Holy Scriptures that provides an objective and accurate guide for every season of my life. The Bible is a lamp unto my feet and a light for the path that lies before me. It teaches, convicts, corrects, and trains me in the ways of godliness. Though many will choose other authorities to guide their lives, I choose Your Holy Book to equip me for the works You've called me to do in Your name. I rely on its inspired texts to sustain me in my lifetime commitment to walk in Your ways, for Jesus Himself declared, "I am the Way." Amen.
