Devotional: Praise the Provider–He Supplies Every Need!
February 2, 2025
Philippians 4:19
Today's Scripture
And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. -Philippians 4:19
Today’s Scripture doesn’t say, “My God shall give me what I want.” It says that He’ll supply all my needs. I need a Savior. I need someone to wash sin out of my life. I need a scapegoat who can bear the guilt of my transgressions and iniquity and die in substitution of what I deserve. I don’t get what I want. But thank God, He loves me so much that He gives me the supplies I need.
I don’t know what you want in your life today, but I know that if you need something, Jesus Christ is all-sufficient. Jesus Christ is El Shaddai. He is a way maker. He is a yoke and bondage breaker. He is the Prince of Peace who can soothe your tormented mind. He is the Provider who can open up the windows of heaven and shower you with blessings that you cannot contain. He is the Healer who can touch a sick body and make it strong again. He is the Banner in battle who will give you victory when defeat looks imminent. Stop begging God for what you want and start praising God that He has supplied your every need according to His riches in glory!
Blessing
I thank You that You’re in this place, and that with our hands lifted and our hearts extended, we can, in faith, reach out and touch You. I thank You, Father, that in reaching for You, You have already reached toward us and given us blessings which are limitless and know no measure. Bless us, Father, with physical strength and divine healing. Bless us, Father, with goodness and mercy that follows us all the days of our lives. Let Your loving kindness and provision be upon us that we would have sufficiency for every good work, and the world would recognize that our Father in heaven is a loving King who provides for His own. We bless You, Lord Jesus; we thank You for Your Word. We stand upon it as the living promise of God that sickness is defeated, sin is destroyed, and we the children of God, live life without limit because You are our King. In Jesus’ name, we receive the blessing. In faith believing, we receive Your answer.

Good Afternoon - JAN 30, 3035
Good afternoon everyone
I appreciate all of you who responded to me about an antivirus,
Thank You so much.
I am not very "cell phone" saavy.. because I do prefer a computer. But, I did
figure out my "data warning" messages.. I thought it had to do with the
hot-spot, when it was how much data I was using at a time. We have
unlimited, so it didn't make sense. Come to find out, they only had it set at
2GB. When we have 50GB! So, I was able to change that, and the warnings
have stopped. Thank goodness.. I'm going crazy  ?without being able to get
online first thing in the mornings!?? Getting the new internet service set
up tomorrow, can't get here soon enough.
So, today I'm getting a little caught up on mail.. espeically tuts, tubes and etc.
to save. I had such a rough year, last year, a lot of things just didn't get taken
care of. You don't realize how many emails and stuff to go through, until you
get behind. lol
Well time to get busy.. Have a great day!
Blessings and ((hugs))

No Do-Overs
Acts 26:16 (NIV?)
“Now get up and stand on your feet. I have appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen of me and what I will show you.”
God told Paul, “Today I’ve set you apart for My purposes.” He did it again and again in Paul’s life, and He will do it again and again in our lives. I don’t want my relationship with God to be just about settling my whereabouts for eternity. I want my life to matter for Him―every day of my life, every season of my life. You only get one chance to be a young person for the glory of God. You only get one chance to be a senior adult for the glory of God. Whatever life stage you’re in, there’s no do-over, no reset button. You only get one pass through this life for the glory of God. There is good news, however: Whatever stage you are in, you can determine to set the rest of your life apart for the purposes of God. That’s an amazing invitation.
THINK ABOUT IT
When we are set apart for God’s purposes, we belong to Him and seek a close relationship with Him.
PRAYER
Heavenly Father, I choose to seek Your purposes today and the rest of my days in time so my life might make a?difference for Your eternal Kingdom. Help me to honor You in every area of my life––in my family, finances, workplace, and in all my relationships. May I live today for Your glory. In Jesus’ name, amen. | |

Good morning everyone,
I won't be online much for the next few days, we had a go-around with Frontier Communications.
We never received our bill for December. So when it finally came in last week, I made out the check
and mailed it in. The bill was due Feb. 6th, and this morning we had no internet. Instead of waiting
until their due date, they cut it off! We have have been with Frotier (verizon) for 30yrs, and they pull
a stunt like this! So... we are switching to Xfinity. They will be out to install it on Saturday afternoon.
I'm using my cell phone hotspot at the moment, so I can send out this message. I don't want to overuse
my data, so I will be off until the weekend.
If anyone has some information on a good antiviris it would be appreciated. I have always used Frontier's.
Have a great week everyone,
?

Let’s Wake Up!
Revelation 3:1-2 (NIV?)
“I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have found your deeds unfinished in the sight of my God.”
In the book of Revelation, we find messages from Jesus to seven churches. In this message to the church in Sardis, He said that even though they appeared to be alive with activity, He knew that they were spiritually dead. He encouraged them to wake up, regain their spiritual strength, and return to His Father’s business. We don’t have to look very hard to see that many of us and many of our churches may be engaged in spiritual activity, but individually and collectively, we are not completely committed to Jesus. We may be busy with church activities, but that does not mean we are yielded to the lordship of Jesus. I extend to you the same challenge I give myself: Let’s open our hearts to the Holy Spirit. Let’s allow Him to show us where we have missed His invitations. Then, let’s determine to be people who make a difference for God.
THINK ABOUT IT
Ask the Lord to show you any areas where you are sleeping and unaware of where you can be more alive in Him.
PRAYER
Heavenly Father, awaken me fully to Your character and purposes. I choose to cooperate with You more completely than ever. I submit my entire life to the Lordship of Jesus. May Your wisdom fill my mind and Your Spirit strengthen me to fulfill all Your purposes. In Jesus’ name, amen. | |

开云体育 God in Persecution
1 Peter 4:19 (NLT?)
If you are suffering in a manner that pleases God, keep on doing what is right, and trust your lives to the God who created you, for he will never fail you.
The Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem is a place that will make you reexamine your life and your priorities. On its grounds are trees planted in remembrance of “The Righteous Among the Nations,” non-Jews who risked their lives to help Jewish people during the Holocaust. When I have visited the museum with Jewish friends, I’ve been asked, “Why are there so few trees? Why were more people not willing to stand up for us?” Showing boldness for God and His people has challenged every generation. It is one thing to serve Him when it brings smiles and gratitude. It is another thing to serve Him when it brings anger and persecution. Peter had experienced both of those scenarios, and he was willing to keep doing the right thing and leave the outcome to God.
THINK ABOUT IT
Like Peter, we can know that if we suffer for the cause of Christ, God will be faithful to walk with us through whatever comes.
PRAYER
Heavenly Father, I am justified through faith and have peace with You through my Lord Jesus Christ—through whom I have gained access by faith into this grace in which I now stand. So, I boast in the hope of Your glory. I also glory in my sufferings, because I know suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.” In Jesus’ name, amen. (Adapted, Romans 5:1-4) | |

Evensong
?by?
“O God Our Help in Ages Past”??
O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.
?
Under the shadow of Thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defence is sure.
?
Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same.
?
A thousand ages in Thy sight
Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.
?
Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day.
?
O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be Thou our guard while life shall last,
And our eternal home.
~ lyrics by Isaac Watts

Devotional: Our God Is an Awesome and Mighty Defender!
Proverbs 18:10
January 26, 2025
Today's Scripture
The name of the Lord is a strong tower, The righteous run to it and are safe.
Proverbs 18:10
If there was ever a time in our modern society when we needed to hear from heaven, it is now. We need God to move on our behalf each and every day to keep watch over us and protect us, to lead us and guide us.
We need favor and blessing of God upon our lives and the lives of our family members. We need an infusion of the Holy Spirit in our households so that we may dwell in peace even when it seems that all hell is breaking loose.
Remember, our God is a strong tower! We can run to Him in the day of adversity and be saved. He is all-knowing and all-powerful. You have never faced an enemy that could not be defeated by the almighty God. When things appear grim and you are surrounded by adversity, look to the One who holds the world in the palm of His hand—who knows your every thought and counts your every tear—and rest assured that everything is going to be alright.
You may feel like the only one on the planet who is trying to live a righteous life, but stand firm, persuaded that the fight belongs to the Lord. He will protect and sustain you when you put your life in the His capable hands. Our God is an awesome God!
Blessing
Father, bless us and keep us. Help us to always celebrate the blessings that You have poured out in our lives, especially those wonderful individuals that we have given ourselves to in covenant relationship. Let us be committed to do the work that God has for us to do; that we can see the foundations of righteousness rebuilt in this nation, and the goodness, mercy, grace, power, and blessings of God poured out upon our children and our children’s children. In Your precious name, we pray and ask, Amen.
