John 15:7

Our Friday devotion comes to us from Council Member, Kim Caldwell:

John 15:7 --- If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

Do you ever find yourself wondering whether you are truly loved by anyone………even God ??

Does God say to cast all your cares on Him ??

The word of God is God-breathed (just think about that for a second)

2 Timothy 3:16 says: All scripture is inspired (God breathed) by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.

When God speaks on any given issue, what He speaks is truth. What He commands is to be obeyed. God has spoken and it stands. We are to believe and obey.

Being a Christian is more than merely believing promises and obeying commands. Christianity isn’t a religion, it is a relationship and a relationship requires a high commitment to communication. That is why it is so important to daily spend time in Gods word THE BIBLE……..and pray COMMUNICATE. Think about the daily demands in our lives, the decisions we make, the wisdom we need, the resources we require, the relationships that need so much tending…….we need strength, wisdom and love of the Lord in our lives so desperately.

In my own life lately I have been learning what it is like to fully lay on God……..in the past I have prayed, read the bible and felt I did my good deed for the day……..but that is not what God is asking…….he says to pray without ceasing…….that means all day long I better be in communication with Him. He says to be in His word (that means to read it and claim it) God loves us so much and all you need to do is open His word, sit back and take a deep breath and let God be God. He is good all the time.

Please start taking the time everyday to make God first in your life – when you wake up……..thank God for letting you wake up and then talk to him all day and then before you close your eyes……..thank Him again for being with you that day. Pray without ceasing my friends.

In Gods hands………Kim Caldwell
