A Grateful Heart

There is a lot of uncertainty and apprehension these days concerning the world’s economy. Every continent and country has been affected in the financial downturn. Many are watching as investment portfolios decrease dramatically in value.

Just yesterday a new friend shared with me that she had lost her job in January and has been unable to find another one. Several of her friends are in the same position. There is a lot of gloom but we still have so much to be thankful for.

In the middle of this all I read Psalm 100 and am reminded that we need to be grateful and praise God at all times. We will have to tighten our belts and reassess our priorities and make choices as much as everyone else even as we trust in God. So how do we look at this situation in God’s eyes and still be thankful to Him?

Has the abundance we have enjoyed caused us to rely on ourselves more than trusting God? Could this financial downturn actually be an opportunity for us as Christians to realign our priorities? Can we still trust God for our needs and give to others who are in more dire need than us?

I like the way the Psalmist puts it. “The Lord is always good…his faithfulness goes on and on.” That puts it all in perspective for me.

“Shout with joy before the Lord, O earth! Obey him gladly; come before him, singing with joy.
Try to realize what this means –the Lord is God! He made us – we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
Go through his open gates with great thanksgiving; enter his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and bless his name.
For the Lord is always good, He is always loving and kind, and his faithfulness goes on and on to each succeeding generations.”
Psalm 100 [The Living Bible]

The Paradox of Being Strong When We’re Weak

Is there an area in your life that you feel very insecure and incapable of handling? As long as we live on this earth we all have such weaknesses. Only God is perfect in everyway.

The Apostle Paul had his great successes as God’s messenger to the Gentiles but he also had weaknesses. The Epistles he wrote in the Bible still teach and minister to Christians today. Many people come to God through his writings.

God gave him a weakness so he would depend on God and not on his own abilities. After asking God three times to remove it he was finally convinced that God could do more through him with his weak spot than will all his capabilities and wisdom.

“Each time he said, ‘No. But I am with you; that is all you need. M power shows up best in weak people.’ Now I am glad to boast about how weak I am; I am glad to be a living demonstration of Christ’s power, instead of showing off my own power and abilities. Since I know it is all for Christ’s good, I am quite happy about the ‘the thorn,’ and about insults and hardships. Persecutions and difficulties; for when I am weak, then I am strong – the less I have, the more I depend on him.” 2nd Corinthians 12: 9 and 10 [The Living Bible]

God chose Gideon to save Israel from its enemy, the Midianites, who came in to plunder their crops and animals every year. Gideon didn’t feel capable of this task, and like us at times, he probably looked around to see who God was speaking to. After he received a few signs from God that He would really give him the victory he was finally convinced.

Then God made it even harder for him in telling him he had way too many soldiers. Not until only 300 soldiers remained of his 32,000 did God give him the go ahead. So when they went to war and gained the victory all the honor and all the glory went to God. They knew they surely didn’t do it.

That is what God wants to do in my life and in your life. But I for one find it very hard to be so vulnerable. Yet that is how God grows our faith.

Our faith needs to be exercised to grow. It’s when our faith is shaken to the core that it becomes unshakable. God can only use us if we recognize the success comes from him not from our wisdom or abilities.

God Loves to Use the Unexpectant

Some said it would never happen. But people around the world honored Barak Obama as president-elect, not only as he campaigned in the United States, but also as he visited other countries.

A lot of people – people who didn’t know him – were surprised when he was nominated, not as vice-president of the United States, but as president. The population was divided as to the outcome. The minorities around the world cheered when he was finally elected as president of the United States. A black man!

God always has a purpose and plan, even in setting the unexpected into high and powerful positions. He chose David and Joseph, the younger siblings of each family and gave them each a leader’s heart.

God doesn’t limit His choices to peoples’ perspectives. As a woman, I am thrilled that He chose Deborah, a woman, in the days when women were treated as second class to men.

God not only anointed her as a judge of His people but as assistant to Barak in leading the Israelites into battle. She instructed the captain in the strategy of battle.

In the same battle God again used a woman to bring Israel to victory. Jael courageously pinned Sisera, the commander of the enemy army, against the ground with a peg and hammer. The glory of winning the battle again went to a woman.

No matter what our station in life is God has a work for us to do. We are blessed that God doesn’t play favorites. Our attitude and loyalty to God has a lot to do with which work the Lord trusts us with.

“In a wealthy home there are dishes made of gold and silver as well as some made from wood and clay. The expensive dishes are used for guests, and the cheap ones are used in the kitchen or to put garbage in. If you stay away from sin you will be like one of these dishes made of purest gold – the very best in the house, so that Christ himself can use you for his highest purposes.” 2 Timothy 2: 20 and 21 [The Living Bible]

Mercy; the Heart of God

“Even if I had any money I wouldn’t give it to you.” As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Ethan knew he had made a huge mistake. The three thugs confronting him on the C-train platform did not take kindly to his attitude. They were on him.

Ethan cowered before his merciless attackers. As the swift blows of their fists fell full force on his chest, arms, and legs he lowered his head and covered his face with his hands. His screams reached the fearful bystanders’ ears but not their hearts. No one came to rescue him. Men and women stood to the side, afraid to become involved. At the end, the pan-handlers grabbed the young teen’s backpack, and fled.

Living in a big city I see a huge lack of mercy in society. It seems everyday the newspapers and other news media shout crime and shootings at us.

And yet we all need mercy in our lives, even those who commit crime and show no mercy. At their court case they too desire the judge’s mercy in the sentence he hands down to them.

Thankfully for us our God is a merciful God or we would be doomed. Even though we try our best in life we fail at one thing or another and need God’s forgiveness and intervention to save us.

The Israelites again failed to carry out their covenant with God. He had promised them He would protect and bless them if they obeyed Him. They failed to drive out the people of Canaan completely as He wanted. They decided they could live side by side with them. God had warned them that this would cause them to worship their gods too. God was right. It happened just like He said it would.

So God, in His justice, let them be taken captive by the nations around them. Still God in His mercy delivered them, after a time, in answer to the prayers of the righteous among them. We can be confident that God is merciful to us also when we fail; even when we turn away from Him for a time in our selfishness and disobedience.

“His compassion never ends. It is only the Lord’s mercies that have kept us from complete destruction. Great is his faithfulness; his lovingkindness begins afresh each day.” Lamentations 3: 22 and 23 [The Living Bible]

Facing the Giants in Your Life

Do you have giants towering over you in your life? Most people have a difficult time facing down the giants of fear and failure in different areas of their lives.

A couple of years ago I had a distinct call from God to write a children’s book. You would think that if I was sure God was asking me to do this I would jump right in. But, no, I didn’t.

I faltered for months, afraid that I couldn’t do it and also taunted by all the work involved. I figured if I wrote it and it didn’t sell then it would be a waste of my time. What a misconception that was.

I realized that if I wrote a book after God specifically called me to it, no matter what He did with it, the book would never be a waste. Even if just one child would come to know Jesus through my book or trust God to help him in the difficulties of life, it would be worth it. Once I was happy with that outcome I was on my way to being a published author. The result was my Christian children’s fiction book, The Lion Tree.

God called the Israelites to enter the land of Canaan. He promised them that He would give them victory in overcoming the giants of that land. The Israelites were obedient to God in taking the cities of Canaan but they failed to drive out the inhabitants as God had commanded. The Canaanites were determined to stay put and waged a strong battle.

The Israelites gave up too soon as we often do. They could have overcome the inhabitants even though they were giants to them, if they had exercised their faith more completely.

“Jesus looked at them intently, then said, ‘Without God, it is utterly impossible. But with God everything is possible’” Mark 10:27 [The Living Bible]

Chocolate to Die For?

What in life do you value most? What are you willing to die for?

We say we’d die for chocolate, or for love, maybe even for good looks and always for power and money. But really, what are you willing to die for, if for anything?

The one thing I can think of that most people would die for is their faith. Our faith is what we are all about; it is what we live for.

I think of David’s men who risked their lives to get just a drink of water for their leader when he was on the run from King Saul. David was grateful for the water but when he realized that his men were willing to die to get him one swallow of water, he poured it out. He told his men that only God was worth dying for.

So I read up on people who took his thought literally. They are the Christian martyrs who were crucified, burnt at the stake, thrown to the lions, and executed in most horrible ways because they would not give up their faith in Christ. The names of male martyrs are very prevalent but do you know there were also a lot of women and children who died for their faith in Jesus?

Agatha, a Sicilian lady, was such a one. She was scourged, burnt with red-hot irons, and torn with sharp hooks. Then she was laid naked upon live coals, which was mixed with glass, and carried to prison, where she died on February 5, 251.

Joshua exhorted his people, the Israelites, to be careful to obey God’s laws and worship and serve only Him. God warned them to put their faith only in Him. The majority were not as faithful as the later martyrs. They chose to worship other gods. They too paid dearly, some with their lives, but most with captivity and slavery.

Joshua and his household showed us the better way. God honors our faith if we choose Him, even if He asks us to give Him our very life.

“But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” Joshua 24:15 [The Living Bible]

My Legacy

Lightning streaks across the sky and peals of thunder sound from a distance. The group huddles closer. Wet eyes and lines of grief are the only signs of their sadness.

Father, Mother and sister are remembering their son and brother, the fallen soldier. Pride and gratefulness are etched on the faces of friends, extended family and military officials who group behind them.

To the family it seems like only yesterday he called from Afghanistan, where he was on duty, and said, “I love you.” Their son will never be forgotten. They hold to his last words as they watch his name being engraved on the Wall of Honour. This is his legacy to this great country called Canada.

The tribes of Reuben and Gad erected another kind of legacy. They built an altar to God. It was to be a witness that the Lord alone is God.

So what is my legacy for God? I find the answer in Jesus’ own words.

“And so I am giving a new commandment to you now – love each other just as much as I love you. Your strong love for each other will prove to the world that you are my disciples.” John 13:34 and 35 [The Living Bible]

I establish my legacy for God as I act out my love for Him in loving Him and in loving my fellow Christians. My acts of love and mercy stand forever, not only on this earth, but also in heaven.

Tracing God’s Finger in Our Life

How do we acknowledge God? Does that just mean to put Him first in every thing we do or are we supposed to give Him the credit due Him? I have struggled with this thought for awhile now.

I thought of King Hezekiah. Hezekiah was a godly King. God blessed him with great success and wealth and then he became sick. God even told him to prepare to die. He pled with God to heal him. God graciously listened to him and healed him.

Then God tested him. “However, when ambassadors arrived from Babylon to find out about the miracle of his being healed, God left him to himself in order to test him and to see what he was really like.” 2 Chronicles 32:31 [The Living Bible]

Hezekiah became proud. He did not give God the glory so God’s anger came upon him and his people. Later he repented and God did not let his judgment fall on Israel until after King Hezekiah’s lifetime.

In contrast there was David, who trusted God even as a young boy looking after his father’s sheep. He gave God the credit for helping him kill the bear and the lion as they attacked the sheep. God led him on to bigger things. He brought him to fight for the Israelite army and defeat Goliath.

David was faithful in caring for the needs of his sheep. God had Samuel anoint him as king but David didn’t become king right away. He had to run from King Saul for years. Eventually God made him King of Israel, caring for the needs of His chosen people.

Can you trace God’s finger in your life? God wants us to acknowledge His leading in our lives. He wants the credit due to Him. That is how we honor Him.

When we look back at where we started in our career we can clearly see God was in charge as we went from promotion to promotion. As we cleared one hurdle successfully after another we went forward. So do we acknowledge that God prepared the way and led us or do we give ourselves all the credit or maybe even put it down to co-incidence?

“In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.” Proverbs 3: 6 NKJV

When We Don’t Practice What We Preach

A Devotional for Kids!

Kids Choice Awards may have a problem with not practicing what they teach. Lately, they used their show to promote thoughts of global warming. Their show was all about recycling and using environmentally friendly products. That’s a great idea and we have no problem with that.

But after the party the thousands of people present were served a delicious meal served on paper plates and plastic cutlery. Again we have no problem with that. It’s what they did with these disposable items that shocked me.

They put them in the garbage which then went to a landfill. What? No recycle bins? They just talked about protecting the environment. They did the opposite of what they taught the kids to do. I can’t believe it! Maybe it’s not true. I read it on the internet and you can’t believe everything on the internet, right?

I am sure that you, like me, know many people who don’t practice what they preach. You and I are often one of those people too. Ouch! We’re too blind to see our blunder just as those people who offend us are also often unaware of their two-faced actions.

Jesus talked about this. “And why worry about a speck in the eye of a brother when you have a board in your own? Should you say, ‘Friend, let me help you get that speck out of your eye,’ when you can’t even see because of the board in your own? Hypocrite! First get rid of the board. Then you can see to help your brother.” Matthew 7:1 to 5 [The Living Bible]

For me, it hurts the most when these people are Christians, teaching me the Bible, but not practicing it. I had a big problem with this when I was in middle school. I really admired my classmates who knew the Bible so well and lead our Bible studies. When I spent time with my heroes in everyday life and discovered that they actually did not live those principles, I became very offended. In fact, I didn’t even want to associate with them.

I forfeited a close relationship with Jesus just because of my judgmental attitude and arrogance. He was there in my life but I didn’t give Him first place for awhile. I thought if people turned out fake, maybe He would too.

It had a big negative influence in my life at the time and kept me from growing spiritually as much as God wanted me to. I’m glad God didn’t give up on me and remained true to His Word and opened my spiritual eyes so I saw my mistake.

Jesus called it ‘hypocrisy’. He said, “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.” Luke 12:1 NKJV

We can still learn a lot from people who don’t live what they teach. They often know God’s Word very well and can tell us how to put God first in our lives. We ought to do what they teach but not be two-faced about it.

Jesus, like always, gave us excellent advice about this too. “The scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. Therefore whatever they tell you to observe, that observe and do, but do not do according to their works; for they say, and do not do.” Matthew 23: 2 and 3 NKJV

The Pharisees were teachers of the Law but they often put their own rules above God’s law so they appeared to be righteous in the people’s eyes, but God saw their hearts. He saw that they only did good things to impress people and their heart was filled with envy, pride, hatred and malice.

So how should we handle the hypocrites in our life?

1. First, find the boulders in our life and deal with them.

2. Pray for those people who are offending us. Ask God to give us a heart of love for them and treat them with love. Do not criticize them or speak against them.

3. Confide in someone we can trust, like our parents, and share our frustration with them. Access the situation so we can learn from it.

4. If we are close to this person or people who are offending us, we may want to confront them in a friendly, kind way. We can tell them that we don’t understand what is going on and ask them if they can enlighten us. They probably have no idea of what they are doing wrong. If they don’t want to talk about it or disagree with us, we should leave it alone and just be their friend anyway. Ask God to work it out.

God is exactly who He says He is. We can trust Him completely. There is absolutely nothing hypocritical about Him.

“Though everyone else in the world is a liar, God is not. . . God’s words will always prove true and right, no matter who questions them.” Romans 3:4 [The Living Bible]

The Most Famous Puppet Show

For several Christmases I sat down with my family to watch “The Sound of Music”. The story moves me to tears. And I enjoy the puppet show the kids put on with Maria.

I often think what a great puppet show God could do with His creation. What a perfect drama would play out if He would make each person on earth do as He chose. There would no pain, no wrongs, no crimes or trials. It would be a perfect world.

God had the Israelites pegged. He knew their hearts. “For I know the inclination of their behavior today.” Deuteronomy 31:21 Because He knows the past, present and future He already knew they would desert Him for their gods after Moses died.

God called them “a perverse generation, children in whom is no faith.” Deuteronomy 32: 20

God knows our weaknesses and inclination to seek our own desires too instead of His. I often think it would be great and so much easier for us if God would only make us do what we should. But God will not make us His puppets. He wants us to serve Him out of our free will. I can understand that. I too want my husband, children and friends to love me and bless me because they want to. God wants us to serve Him out of our love for Him.

He knew Peter’s inclination to fear and protect Himself at Jesus’ trial when he was accused of being with Jesus. Jesus predicted beforehand that Peter would deny Him. Even after Jesus told him, Peter still fell into the trap of denial.

At the end, Peter chose to be crucified, upside down, because he didn’t consider himself to be worthy of being crucified upright as Jesus. His love and loyalty for God won out at the end.

We have our weaknesses too but we also have the Holy Spirit and our position in Jesus to overcome. I see the Apostle Paul as incorporating this principle. I believe his secret was his closeness to God. He did everything depending on God for direction and strength.

The Christian’s Secret of a Happy Life by Hannah Whitall Smith has taught me a lot about walking in the Spirit. She so perfectly paraphrases what the Bible says about depending on God at all times.

She writes, “The point to be considered is as to what are the chief characteristics of this life hid with Christ in God, and how it differs from much in the ordinary Christian experience.

“Its chief characteristics are an entire surrender to the Lord, and a perfect trust in Him resulting in victory over sin and inward rest of soul; and it differs from the lower range of Christian experience in that it causes us to let the Lord carry our burdens and manage our affairs for us instead of trying to do it ourselves.” Therein lies our success.
