Great and Mighty Things

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

"Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not."
— Jeremiah 33:3 (KJV)

When we read this verse, our minds often jump to massive miracles. But the "great and mighty things" God wants to show us are frequently found in the highly practical, everyday details of our lives.

God does not expect you to carry your heavy burdens alone. He invites you to look to Him for help today.

Think about the immediate concerns occupying your mind right now.

If you are dealing with difficult people, remember to pray about it today. Bring that demanding boss, that irritable coworker, that difficult customer, or that unfair teacher straight to God and ask Him for His help.

If you are navigating career decisions and job hunting, remember to pray about it today. Ask the Lord for wisdom in your interviews, clear guidance on your career transitions, or simply the endurance to get through a boring or stressful work day.

And if you are carrying the weight of financial stress, remember to pray about it today. God cares about your unpaid bills, those unexpected car repairs, and the high cost of groceries and basic needs.

The "great and mighty thing" God wants to show you today might not be a dramatic sign in the heavens. It might be a quiet, perfect peace that keeps your heart steady in the middle of a storm. It might be an unexpected door of provision opening right when you need it most. Or it might simply be the strength to walk through your routine with joy.

Do not carry these burdens into your day alone. Call on Him, because He is listening.

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

Our Rock of Refuge

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 Rock of Refuge.

"Be my rock of refuge, to which I can always go; give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress."
— Psalm 71:3 (NIV)

When you place your faith in Jesus Christ alone, you are given daily, unlimited access to the sovereign strength of God. The psalmist calls Him a "rock of refuge" to which we can "always go." This means God isn't just an emergency escape plan; He is your constant, daily shelter.

Whatever trials, stress, or worries try to crowd your day, you can instantly turn back to your Heavenly Father’s presence. You don't have to fight the battles of life in your own strength. Always run to your Rock, rest in His promise, and walk forward with the overcomer’s faith He has provided for you today.

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

Deliverance From Your Trial

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

The area I live in is under a Flood Watch from the weather service. It reminds me of when the earth was under a Flood Watch in Noah's time.

Second Peter 2:5 (NLT):  "And God did not spare the ancient world—except for Noah and the seven others in his family. Noah warned the world of God's righteous judgment. So God protected Noah when he destroyed the world of ungodly people with a vast flood."

The judgment of God fell upon those who rejected God's way. And now we are under a "Judgment Watch." Judgment is coming on those who reject God's way in His Son, Jesus Christ.

In the meantime, those of us who have placed our faith in Jesus Christ live in a world that is in rebellion against God, and we face many trials. But Brother Peter reminds us in Second Peter 2:9:  "So you see, the Lord knows how to rescue godly people from their trials, even while keeping the wicked under punishment until the day of final judgment."

Do you need to be rescued today from a trial? If you have faith in Jesus Christ, you can look up to your Heavenly Father to deliver you. He never fails. Remember what it says in the Bible in Hebrews 13:5: "...God has said, 'I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.'"

But wait! There is hope for those of you who have not believed in the Lord Jesus Christ. Right now, you can experience God's forgiveness for all your sins. Look to Jesus and ask for His forgiveness right now. It says in John 1:12, "But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God."

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

Hated but loved

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

In Matthew 10:22, Jesus reminds us, "You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved." This verse speaks to the reality of following Christ. As believers, we may face opposition and hatred from the world because of our faith. However, this is not a reason to despair.

Instead, we can find comfort in the promise that those who endure and remain steadfast in their faith will be saved. Our relationship with Jesus is not based on the approval of others but on His eternal love for us. 

In Romans 8:38-39, we are assured that nothing can separate us from the love of God. So, even when we face challenges and rejection, we can hold on to the truth that we are deeply loved by Jesus. Let us stand firm in our faith, knowing that our ultimate reward is found in Him.

That's it for this podcast. Follow Jesus Radio is here 24 hours a day to encourage you to have faith in Jesus Christ and follow Him daily. Remember, Jesus loves you and is just a prayer away.
