Watchman: Daily Devotional, When You Are Yoked With Jesus, You Will Discover That God Has Everything Under Control. Jesus Teaches Us to Have Faith in the Father and to Follow His Leading. When We Do This, Everything Works Out in the End
Daily Devotional: Matthew 11:28-30 (NIV) 28″ Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Have you had enough of life? Tired of attempting to do everything? Tired of attempting to satisfy God, feed your family, assist a friend, and attend to the million tiny demanding details that life can throw at you? Come to Jesus! He will provide you with rest. Take up His yoke and learn from Him. Yokes are typically used for tandem pairs of oxen. Juvenile oxen would frequently plow alongside more seasoned ones. Consider what it would be like to grow…
Read MoreGod Finds Possibilities for Grace in the Most Unlikely of People. To Choose the Youngest Son to Be a King Seems Strange. To Say That a Baby Born in a Stable, Who Dies on a Cross Under a False Sentence of Treason, Is the Savior of the World and God in the Flesh Is Incredible
Daily Devotional: King David The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart. — 1 Samuel 16:7 Samuel was sent by God to Bethlehem to anoint a new king. Because the present king, Saul, had failed to obey and honor God, God decided to make his decision for the next monarch public. Samuel’s attention was drawn to Jesse’s sons, a line of seven young men beginning with the oldest and tallest. As Samuel moved down the line, God warned him that the one he was looking at was not the one. Saul was chosen as king in part because he was tall and lovely, but God made it clear that height and appearance don’t matter this time. God examines what is on the inside—in the heart.…

Daily Devotional: Indeed, who are we to be sent by Almighty God as His messengers? That God could use someone like me is a profound wonder to the humbled servant of God. When the Apostle Paul declared that God picked him, the worst sinner, to display God’s greatness, he knew it better than anybody else. “Who am I?” we can ask, like Moses and Paul. Sinners are redeemed alone by grace! It proves that when God uses us, He can use anyone. We must not stop at realizing our own weakness, but must also realize God’s all-sufficiency. What difference does it make if I am limited? God has no bounds! And if He sent me, He must also strengthen me. Moses admitted to God (as if God didn’t already know) that he was not a skilled speaker. “Who fashioned man’s…

Daily Devotional: When God’s people forsake Him, He withdraws the intimacy of His presence. At first, this is sometimes seen as a relief, because the conviction of sin is not so great. But then the darkness and desperation set in. I will heap disasters upon them: When the hiding of His face does not draw God’s people into repentance, God then sends His hand of correction, and allows calamity to bring the attention of His people back upon Him. Prayer: But in that land of America, they might turn to you in repentance and pray, ‘We have sinned, done evil, and acted wickedly.’ Learn More The Great Tribulation It is our belief that the Great Tribulation referred to in the New Testament Book of Revelation (chapters 6-11) is unfolding before our eyes. In the near future, we will devote the “Tribulation” tab on…
Read MoreWatchman: Daily Devotional, It’s Better to Confront Danger Beside the Lord Than to Run and Hide From It
Devotional: Acts 9:1-20 How risk-averse or daring are you while making decisions? Because of the potential for loss or other unfavorable outcomes, many Christians avoid taking risks. The elimination of risks makes intuitive sense from a human perspective. Uncertainty, however, is a normal aspect of the Christian life of faith. Obedience may seem hazardous to us, but God sees no such thing since He is in complete charge of everything and will use it for His good. In the Bible, we read of actual individuals who trusted God even when faced with the unexpected. Ananias is one of them; he is a disciple whom God has sent to help the freshly converted Saul. By paying a visit to this well-known antichrist, Ananias put his life in danger. After his conversion, Saul too faced danger on a daily basis as he diligently…
