This week’s devotional thought is about acquiring knowledge and applying the truth we’ve learned. As my professor and friend often said, “A truth learned and not internalized is lost.” With this thought in mind, let us consider the matter of overcoming evil with good. While the world we live in continues to grow more hostile and violent… Read More »

This week’s devotional thought centers around the word “way.” We often use the word way to direct or instruct someone, or to describe something according to a specific means of understanding. This one word carries multiple possibilities for guidance, all depending upon the intent of the speaker and the understanding of the listener. The word way has the potential to lead… Read More »

This week’s devotional thought comes from a recent study in Scripture where the Apostle Peter states that a believer’s conduct can and will have an eternal effect on others. While one may not think of this as a big deal, so to speak, God does. For we find that what we do—and how we do… Read More »

Today’s devotional thought is about the power of a spoken word. While some may speak without thinking through the implications of what is said, we find that God takes note of every word spoken and will hold the speaker accountable. To begin with, let us consider these words from King Solomon:“My son, if thou be surety… Read More »

According to some statistics, there are more than 8.1 billion people and around 7,100 languages in the world today. Considering this, we find that all people, all nations, and all languages need… Read More »

This week’s devotional thought is about considering the Lord, His will, and His plans for our lives—rather than asking Him to join us in ours. While this may seem unusual at first, if we’re honest, many people tend to make their own plans and then ask God to bless them and join in whatever they’ve… Read More »

This week’s devotional thought comes from the results of a study concerning the effect of God’s Word on the mind of the believer. First of all, in Proverbs 23:7 we find these words: “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.” Here, we see that the mind and heart are considered the center of… Read More »

This week’s devotional thought is on the subject of faith. For the believer, faith is the foundational principle upon which all the promises of God’s Word rest, and it is the unseen power we find in Jesus Christ. As someone has well said, faith can be described by the acrostic: Forsaking All I Trust Him. The writer of… Read More »

This week’s devotional thought is somewhat a follow-up of last week’s recollection of things or thoughts we have of the past.  While we may often engage with others about certain memories, I would that we would do as the Apostle Paul and think on God’s mighty work in our past. For, we find that the… Read More »
