Thanksgiving Day is this Thursday, and I've chosen Psalm 136 for the devotion leading up to that day. This Psalm uses the phrase, "Give thanks," twelve times, covering twenty-five things for which the Psalmist was thankful.

Tomorrow, here in the United States, is election day. Where does God stand in selecting the leaders we are about to vote into office? I'm not sure, but I know He uses us to bring forth the outcome. So, let me encourage all of you who are American citizens to pray about who you should vote for and then follow God's directive.

I have read Psalm 23 at the graveside of numerous funerals. Unfortunately, many people only know it because that's the setting they've heard it in. David, however, wrote this Psalm as a celebration of His relationship with God in this life. Click on the link below so you can celebrate it too. #BibleStudy #Devotions #Love #Psalms #worship

God exhibits an unchangeable love toward the entire human race. Our love for Him, though, is, at best, very inconsistent. Regardless, our actions will do nothing to stop God from loving us. I don't know what your perspective is of God's love but read today's post to get a clearer one. #BibleStudy #Devotions #Love #Romans #worship
Matthew 9 says when Jesus saw the crowds He had compassion on them. Why? Because many were sick? Or maybe because they were hungry. As a result of His compassion, He did heal and feed them. Click on the link below to see why He showed them compassion. #BibleStudy #Devotions #Discipleship #Love #Matthew

Weakness, that's a subject we don't want to talk about and we certainly don't like to admit that we have any. In Psalm 6, David, king of Israel asked the Lord to have compassion on him because he was weak.

The phrase "Unfailing Love" is found over seventy times in the Psalms. Interestingly enough, that phrase is used differently in the verse we'll look at today, found in Exodus. Click on the link below to read why it's so unique in that text. #BibleStudy #Devotions #Exodus #Love #worship

An expert in religious law asked Jesus how he could inherit eternal life. The Story of the good Samaritan addressed the question of, who is my neighbor? Jesus, however, didn't answer either of the expert's questions. Click on the link below to read how he got his answers. #BibleStudy #Devotions #Love #Luke
God loves us and He expects us to love others the same way He loves us. In fact, the Bible tells us that we have an obligation that must be paid to fulfill the requirements of God’s law.

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day. The person who is the love of your life, as great and as precious as that person may be will occasionally let you down. Just like you may let them down. In Psalm 136 the Psalmist repeated twenty-six times the phrase, “His faithful love endures forever.” Click on the link below to read all about it. And Happy Valentine's Day! #BibleStudy #Devotions #Love #Psalms #Thankful

For Joseph and Mary on the night Jesus was born, it must have seemed like they were all alone in the world. God, however, revealed His love to them in an unexpected way. He'll do the same for us as well. Click on the link below to read today's post and Merry Christmas. #316 #BibleStudy #Christmas #Devotions #John #Love

The husband and wife relationship is easy to talk about when the marriage sails along harmoniously. When it’s going through stormy weather though, it’s a different story. In Ephesians 5, we read how a couple can maintain harmony in their marriage. Click on the link below to read today's post. #BibleStudy #Devotions #Ephesians #Love
1 Corinthians 13 known as the love chapter describes the characteristics of real love. It plainly tells us what it is and what it does and doesn’t do. It also tells us what love isn’t.

It had been a lonnggg Sunday in October of ’87. Our boys of 7,8 & 9 had provided us with many irritations & frustrations. My wife and I collapsed on our living room couch, too tired to make dinner or go out for it.
At this point, our boys announced that they were going to make us dinner. The initial look of horror on our faces prompted them to reassure us that they really wanted to bless us this way. Our oldest son, Bryan, came over to us with a dish towel over his forearm, like a hi-class waiter. He asked us what we would like for dinner. Patti & I looked at each other, then back at him and said,” What do you have?” His eyes got really big and he rushed into the kitchen to consult with his brothers. We heard them frantically talking….buzz, buzz, buzz. He came back and said, “Chocolate covered peanuts, apple sauce, Timmy’s salad (our 7 year old), hot dogs, ham sandwich and turkey. We ordered it all.
Our middle son, Chris, came out with the same towel wrapped over his forearm and asked us what we wanted to drink. We looked at each other, then back at Chris and said, “What do you have?”. His eyes got really big and he rushed into the kitchen to consult with his brothers….buzz, buzz, buzz. He came back out and said, “Milk, Kool-Aid and wa-ter”, in his best French accent. We went with the water for obvious reasons.
Our youngest son, Timmy, brought out the wa-ter in 2 wine glasses on a silver platter that he single-handedly came out swinging, dipping and dancing with (and nearly causing us to have heart attacks). Miraculously, the wa-ter made it to us without being spilled. Then they all brought us dinner on the same silver platter, without all the swinging, dipping and dancing. During dinner, Chris turned the lights down low while Bryan softly played the piano.
After dinner, Chris announced that dessert would be ice cream or something like that. We pointed out that we didn’t have ice cream or something like that. His eyes got really big. He rushed back into the kitchen to consult with his brothers….buzz, buzz, buzz. All 3 boys came back out and announced that dessert would be hot dogs and turkey.
After dessert, we read to you boys and put you to bed. As Mom and I came back downstairs, we looked at each other, thinking “Dare we go into the kitchen?” We opened the kitchen door and saw….the love that our boys had shown us. We decided to clean it up the next morning. We had a wonderful sleep that night.
I guess that I shouldn’t be surprised. If God can make life-giving water come out of a rock (Numbers 2:2-11), He can make blessings come out of irritations and frustrations.
For His Kingdom,

What does it mean to be a God fearing man?
What I ask you to notice is the question and the way it is phrased. "What IS The Fruit Of The Spirit?" Not "...what ARE the fruitS..."
The Fruit Of The Spirit IS One, not many!
Let's look at the Word of God and the lessons.
