Treasured to Perfection

Devotion on Treasured, Relationship to God, Amos 7:8b. 2 pages.

“Behold, I am setting a plumb line in the midst of my people Israel; I will never again pass by them” (Amos 7:8b).

I do not know if my human perfectionism is a blessing or a curse, but I do know this — God’s holy perfectionism leads to our salvation. He has treasured His creation since the very beginning, to the point of sending His Son to die for us on the cross.

Praying Mothers

Devotion on Motherhood, Prayer, Christian Living, 1 Samuel 1:27-28a. 1 page.

“For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my petition that I made to him. Therefore I have lent him to the Lord” (1 Samuel 1:27-28a).

What is the best gift a mother can give her child? I believe it is to pray for that child and surrender them to the Lord as Hannah did with Samuel in the verse we just read. We obviously will not physically surrender our children to the local pastor, but we can lay their lives at Jesus’ feet. We can pray for our children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and friends.

It is Swell!

Devotion on Christian Living, Colossians 3:15. 2 pages.

And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful (Colossians 3:15).

*Caution!* Reading this devotion could affect your singing of a favorite hymn for the rest of your earthly life! *You’ve been warned!*

“How are you doing today, Rick?” I asked one of our congregation’s elders, as I usually do each Sunday. His reply was not so usual. “Just swell!” he said. 

“Swell?” Who answers “swell” these days? The more I thought about it, the more I liked it.

Love Explained

Devotion on Advent, Christmas, Relationships with others, Service, 1 John 4:9–11. 2 pages.

This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another (1 John 4:9–11 NIV).

As we eagerly await the birth of the Christ Child, our days are filled with preparation. We decorate our Christmas trees and our homes; shop for gifts; send Christmas cards; bake the family-favorite cookies; attend Advent services, choir rehearsals, and program practices; entertain guests; plus a dozen other things!

Growing tired and weary from the stress and busyness of the season may cause us to be less than loving. At those times our attention is often focused on getting everything done just perfectly rather than on the Christ Child, whose birth is the real reason for celebration.

The Oliver Special, Please!

Devotion on Relationship with God, Love, Treasured, Jeremiah 31:3b. 2 pages.

I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you (Jeremiah 31:3b).

If you could ask God for the “special” that you crave, what would it be? Would it be healing for you or a loved one? Repairing a relationship? Peace in times of trouble? Even more than a grandmother giving her beloved grandchildren what they want, God wants to give us, His treasured possessions, more than we could ever hope for or imagine. What He wants to give us is even more audacious than an “Oliver Special!”
