Devotions on Discipleship (Page 3)
Walking with God through Fasting, Part 1
Matthew 6:16-18 We consider how we are to walk with God in fasting. While our circumstances don’t always call for fasting, sometimes they do. It is something the Lord commands, something that was practiced by the saints, including Jesus Himself.
Walking with God during the Day
Ephesians 6:1-9 Continuing our series on walking with God, we turn from starting the day with the Lord to living for Him throughout the day.
Start with Prayer
Psalm 66:18-19 We continue to consider how we are to walk with God each day, seeing that we should start every day with prayer. We examine in a practical way how to do this in order that our prayers may be most effective.
The Pleasure of Knowing God, Part 2
Psalm 16:11 There are so many things in this world that can distract us – there, perhaps, are more „fun„ things to do today than there have been in any other time in history. The results is that we tend not to think about Heaven until we reach the end of our lives.
Always in His Presence
1 Peter 1:17-19 We consider two things: *First, that we are called to glorify and walk with God at all times. *Second, some practical ways to do this, beginning with our mornings.
The Pleasure of Knowing God, Part 1
Psalm 36 Having seen last week that the Lord alone can satisfy, and that we must walk with Him if we are to find that satisfaction, we consider what He gives that is so satisfying; something that is more satisfying than anything the unbeliever can ever possess.
Daily Spiritual Reflection
Romans 13:11-14 We consider the importance of allowing the things we do every day to remind us of our spiritual duties. Paul gives us several examples of this in the text.
A Life without Regret
Psalm 119:80 We focus on the living the kind of lives (as believers) that will lead to us having least regrets on the day of our death and then on the Day of Judgment. We see that this is a life lived according to God’s Law.
An Easy Yoke
Matthew 11:30 We saw this morning that the life of least regrets for the believer is one that consists as far as possible in obedience to the commandments He gives.
My Soul Is Satisfied
Psalm 63:5 Have you learned the secret of contentment? Is God’s love through Jesus Christ enough to satisfy you? We consider that: #The things of the world can never satisfy the human heart. #Only God is able to do this for us.
How to Receive the Desires of Your Heart
Psalm 37:3-7 Having seen that the human heart cannot be satisfied with the things of this world but only in the Lord, we now reflect on how we may do this from a practical standpoint. David tells us that our satisfaction will come as we walk with the Lord.
Why Do You Call Him Lord?
Luke 6:46 Continuing the theme from the message this morning, we see that sowing to the Spirit is more than simply a matter of availing ourselves of the means of grace; it is also a matter of living in obedience to the Lord.
