Let’s Tell Our Story

Today’s Devotional by Samuel Lantion



Remember the days of old, Consider the years of all generations. Ask your father and he will inform you, Your elders, and they will tell you. Deuteronomy 32:7. NASB

Moses wanted the children of Israel to always remember God‘s goodness. In today's verse, he declared all they had to do to learn about God was to ask their parents and grandparents. Then they would find that He is "a faithful God, without bias, He is righteous and true"(v.4,NASB). This brings the question to mind: are we doing our job of passing down stories of God's faithfulness to the generation following us? Part of our Christian journey should be testimonies of God's goodness that we pass on to our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and anyone that will listen. We see how the Israelites shared stories about God with the younger generation. Well the same God delivered us, cares for us, and provides for us! We should always be ready to tell our story about the goodness of God.

God Requires Total Commitment

  God Requires Total Commitment Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you.  James 4:7 This year has been challenging for many of us, as social injustices, political unrest, and economic issues have affected our commitment to God. When we think about the word commitment, we think of having a made up mind, despite the circumstances. The enemy’s desire is to distract us from total commitment to God by making our problems look bigger than they are.  Therefore, we make excuses as to why we can’t commit to him resulting in us slowly drifting away from His presence, not spending time with him through praying and studying his word.  James warns us to submit to God and resist the devil. Satan wants us to believe we can't afford to  study our bibles or come to church because we are too busy working to pay our bills and take care of our families. Our jobs, relationships and worldly affections...

Rise Above It All: Finding Renewed Strength in God

Image
God is your refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble (Psalm 46:1). NIV Have you ever felt tired, exhausted, or drained in your faith walk like I have? Let's keep it real. There are times when we all get tired of praying, helping others, preaching, or reading the Bible. In those moments, it's crucial to recognize that these feelings may be spiritual attacks meant to discourage us. The devil seeks to steal, kill, and destroy. But remember this! When you feel overwhelmed, turn to the source of your strength. Psalm 121:1-2 reminds us, "I lift up my eyes to the mountains, where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth." So let's stay strong, stay faithful, and allow God's power to renew our strength. Trust in Him because He is faithful to sustain us and uplift us in every season of our lives. God bless 🙏  by Pastor Samuel "Shawn" Lantion

Surrendering to God's Perfect Plan

Image
"As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."  Isaiah 55:9 (NIV) How often have we found ourselves striving to make things happen according to our own plans, only to end up feeling frustrated and disappointed? How many times have we relied on our own understanding, thinking we know what's best for our lives, only to realize that our vision is limited and our plans are flawed? As Christians, we are called to surrender our will to God's perfect plan for our lives. We may think we know what's best, but the truth is, we cannot fully comprehend the greatness of God's purposes for us until we allow Him to lead and direct us on the path He has set before us. Isaiah 55:9 reminds us of the vast difference between God's way and our way. While we can only see so far and our predictions of the future are often uncertain, God sees the end from the beginning. His plans for us are not...
