16 May Devotional Thought – The Face Of Jacob
"This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him, Who seek Your face. Selah" Psalm 24:6
It was a time of great spiritual awakening. A genuine time of revival and renewal. The Psalmist says that men were seeking the face of God, and they were seeking His face in a very special, specific way. They were searching for the face that illuminated Jacob's face when He had his great encounter with God. Where exactly was that? At Peniel - the place where he had his third vision of God. Remember? Jacob had seen the Lord in His power at Bethel and in His providence at Mahanaim, but it was at Peniel that He saw the Lord in His personal presence. Jacob came face to face with the Living God and the light of the Lord's face fell on Jacob's.
13 May Fridays Are For Family – Daddy+Mommy+Jesus=Happy Home
I don’t know about you, but there are very few things better than spending time with the ones you love, doing what you love to do. I hope that you’re making time together with your family (and by that I mean actually time with your family, not simply sitting at some event or activity somewhere) a priority in your family. If you haven’t done so, grab your calendar and take time right now to schedule "appointments" just to spend time together as a family.
11 May Devotional Thought – Heaven’s Fire
"...Then the glory of the LORD appeared to all the people, and fire came out from before the LORD and consumed the burnt offering and the fat on the altar..." Leviticus 9:23-24
As I read my Bible, I find that there are two types of fire which are mentioned. There is sin's fire and there is God's fire. There is a fire that comes from hell, and there is a fire that comes from Heaven. The first fire destroys man's soul. The second fire refines man's soul. Now, the fire that comes from sin comes because of a lack of the presence of God. But Heaven's fire only comes when He is very near - even at the door.
