Jesus Is Our Portion

This is Follow Jesus Radio, encouraging you to have faith in Jesus Christ and follow Him daily. The title of this devotional thought is: Jesus Is Our Portion.

Let's listen to God's Word in Psalm 16:5 (KJV):

"The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot."

What a comforting truth! David didn't find his greatest joy in possessions or circumstances. His greatest treasure was the Lord Himself. The same is true for us. Because of Jesus Christ, we have received something far greater than anything this world can offer—we have Jesus Himself.

Jesus is our portion. Through His death on the cross and His resurrection, He has given us the forgiveness of sins, eternal life, and an inheritance that will never fade away. No earthly possession can compare to knowing Him.

David also says that the Lord is "the portion...of my cup." Every day, Jesus is our cup of blessing. As we spend time in His Word, enjoy His presence, and follow His teachings, our hearts are filled with His peace, joy, and grace. There is no greater blessing than walking with Him.

Finally, David says, "Thou maintainest my lot." What a wonderful reminder that Jesus is our sovereign Lord. He lovingly watches over every part of our lives. Nothing is outside His care. He knows what we need, He orders our steps, and He faithfully works all things according to His perfect will.

So today, let your heart rest in Jesus. He is your portion, your cup of blessing, and your faithful Savior. If you have Him, you have everything you truly need.

Until next time, keep your eyes on Jesus.

That's it for this podcast. Remember, Jesus loves you and is just a prayer away.

Keeping Our Eyes on Jesus

This is Follow Jesus Radio, encouraging you to have faith in Jesus Christ and follow Him daily. The title of this devotional thought is: Keeping Our Eyes on Jesus.

Let's listen to God's Word in Psalm 16:8 (KJV):

"I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved."

What does it mean to set the Lord always before us? It means that we intentionally keep our eyes on Jesus throughout the day. We begin our day in His Word, we talk to Him in prayer, and we seek to obey His teachings. Instead of letting our circumstances lead us, we let Jesus lead us.

The wonderful promise is that as we keep our eyes on Him, we discover that He has never taken His eyes off us. He is at our right hand. He is with us in every joy, every trial, and every decision we face.

That doesn't mean life will always be easy, but it does mean we can trust Him completely. Nothing can move us outside of His sovereign love, His perfect will, or His good plan for our lives. Our Savior is faithful, and He never lets go of His own.

So today, set the Lord before you. Take time to read His Word. Spend time in His presence. Trust Him with whatever you're facing, and remember that Jesus is right beside you. As you keep your eyes on Him, you'll find the strength and peace to stand firm.

Until next time, keep your eyes on Jesus.

That's it for this podcast. Remember, Jesus loves you and is just a prayer away.

Our Secure Inheritance

This is Follow Jesus Radio, encouraging you to have faith in Jesus Christ and follow Him daily. The title of this devotional thought is: Our Secure Inheritance.

Let's listen to God's Word in Ephesians 1:11 (KJV):

"In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will."

What a comforting verse! Our salvation is not an accident, and our future is not uncertain. Because of Jesus Christ, we have received an eternal inheritance that can never be taken away. God loved us long before we ever loved Him, and through the death and resurrection of His Son, He made us His own.

This verse also reminds us that God is at work in our lives. Even when we don't understand what He is doing, He is working according to His perfect purpose and His perfect timing. Nothing catches Him by surprise. The God who saved you is the same God who is faithfully leading you every step of the way.

So if you're waiting on the Lord today, don't lose heart. Trust His love. Trust His wisdom. Trust His timing. Your life is in the hands of a sovereign Savior who never makes a mistake. And one day, you will fully enjoy the inheritance He has prepared for everyone who belongs to Him.

Until next time, keep your eyes on Jesus.

That's it for this podcast. Remember, Jesus loves you and is just a prayer away.

Heart Surgeon Jesus

This is Follow Jesus Radio encouraging you to have faith in Jesus Christ and follow Him daily. The title of this devotional thought is: Heart Surgeon Jesus.

Do we feel the need for God to change our hearts today? We can come straight to Him in prayer and ask Him to perform His heart surgery on us.

Let's listen to what God's Word promises in Deuteronomy:

"The LORD your God will circumcise your heart and the hearts of your descendants, and you will love him with all your heart and all your soul so that you will live."
— Deuteronomy 30:6 (CSB)

And the Apostle Paul expands on this:

Colossians 2:11 CSB

You were also circumcised in him with a circumcision not done with hands, by putting off the body of flesh, in the circumcision of Christ.

We can easily fall into the trap of trying to look clean on the outside, matching the expectations of others, while our hearts remain unchanged.

True transformation is not a visible, physical show. It is a quiet, deep work of Jesus on the inside. When Jesus performs this heart surgery on us, He cuts away our pride, our stubborn rebellion, and our self-will. He doesn't just patch up our behavior; He gives us a brand-new heart to love Him and walk in His ways.

We don't have to struggle to change ourselves today. Instead, let's open our lives to Jesus. Let's ask Him to do the deep, inward work that only He can do, so that our lives bring praise to God.

That's it for this podcast. Remember, Jesus loves you and is just a prayer away.
