Fear God be blessed

This is Follow Jesus Radio encouraging you to have faith in Jesus Christ and follow him daily. The title of this devotional thought is: Fear God be blessed.

Proverbs 14:27 BSB

The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, turning a man from the snares of death.

I have a great idea. Let's make it our aim to fear our God today. I'm talking about the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God who sent Messiah Jesus. Looking up to God and fixing our love and devotion on Him brings the daily blessing of His company! What a happy situation! I want to be happy today, how about you?

Fixing our minds on God and fearing Him is a fountain of life. Imagine one of those big fountains you see in some cities, with all that water gushing up and about. On hot summer days, you can see kids stepping into those fountains to find refreshment and cool down from the heat. In the same way, we go to God and experience the refreshing blessing of being filled fresh and anew with His Holy Spirit. A well, a spring as it were, will gush out from us to bless others!

Yes, let's fear God today. What a happy day that will be.

God's Love In Believers

This is Follow Jesus Radio encouraging you to have faith in Jesus Christ and follow him daily. The title of this devotional thought is: God's Love In Believers.

John 17:26 
I made known to them your name, and will make it known; that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and I in them.”

I have been thinking about this all day long: the love of the Father in those of us who have faith in His Son, Jesus Christ.

And I have assembled a number of related Bible verses to think upon. Be blessed as you consider God's love for you. And join me in praising God for His incredible love.

Praise God His love is poured into our hearts.

Romans 5:5: "‘and hope doesn’t disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us."

Praise God for sending His son to demonstrate His love for us and to die on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins. 

1 John 4:9-10: By this God’s love was revealed in us, that God has sent his only born Son into the world that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins."

Praise God for being rich in mercy and love for saving us.

Ephesians 2:4-5: " But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,  even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—"

Praise God that nothing separates us from His love.

Romans 8:38-39: "‘ For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,  nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from God’s love which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

If you have not accepted Jesus as your savior I urge you to do so right now. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.

Brenda's Bible Reading For The Week

This is Follow Jesus Radio encouraging you to have faith in Jesus Christ and follow him daily. The title of this devotional thought is: Brenda's Bible Reading For The Week.

Our Bible reading comes from: Ephesians 2:4-10.

But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,

even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),

and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus;

for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

not of works, that no one would boast.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.

May this word of God be a light for your path today.

With God All Things Are Possible

This is Follow Jesus Radio encouraging you to have faith in Jesus Christ and follow him daily. The title of this devotional thought is: With God All Things Are Possible.

Our scripture today begins in Matthew 19:26:
"But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible."

The Limit of Human Effort
We often reach a point in our lives where we hit a wall. Whether it is a broken relationship, a persistent sin, or a mountain of circumstances, we look at the situation and rightly conclude: "This is impossible." In the context of this verse, Jesus was speaking about the impossibility of man saving himself. By our own strength, merit, or wealth, we cannot bridge the gap to God. But where human strength ends, divine power begins.

Nothing Is Too Hard
This isn't a new challenge for the Creator. In Genesis 18:14, we find Sarah laughing at the promise of a child in her old age. God responds with a question that echoes through the centuries: "Is any thing too hard for the LORD?" God is not bound by the laws of nature, the limitations of biology, or the ticking of a clock. He is the author of them all. When He speaks a word, He has the total capacity to bring it to pass, regardless of how "impossible" it looks to the human eye.
Is the Lord's Hand Shortened?

Sometimes, even the greatest leaders struggle with doubt. In Numbers 11:23, Moses was overwhelmed by the task of feeding a multitude in the wilderness. The Lord replied: "Is the LORD'S hand waxed short? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not."

To say God's hand is "waxed short" is to suggest His reach or His power has diminished. But God's power is never depleted. He doesn't grow tired, and His resources never run dry. If He has promised it, He is able to perform it.

Walking in Faith
"With God all things are possible" is not a magic formula to get everything we want; it is a foundation for our trust. It means that no matter how dark the valley or how high the mountain, we serve a God who is bigger than the problem. If you are facing an "impossible" situation today, stop looking at the size of the obstacle and start looking at the size of your God.
