Devotional Collection on Christian Living, Bible Women. Set of 10 devotions. 19 pages.
Is there a “prime time” for serving the Lord? Many would claim that they are too young. With youth comes “busyness” and there is no extra time to serve the Lord. Others would say that they are too old. With age comes tiredness and certainly, they feel God wouldn’t expect service from someone old and tired! The Bible, however, gives us many examples of women serving the Lord at all ages.
What these women did along life’s way may have been recorded in only a few words, such as the servant girl in Naaman’s household. Other times, an entire book is dedicated to the service of a woman, such as Esther or Ruth. In each case however, God thought their service to be significant enough to have it recorded for posterity in His Holy Word, the Bible.
What can we learn from these women of the Bible, young, old and in-between, whom God called to serve Him in special ways? Beginning with the young, we look at their service “all along life’s way.” This is another series of “five minute devotions” written especially for (but not limited to) groups who would like to open their gatherings with more than a prayer, but less than a full Bible study.

Devotion on Relationship with God, Ephesians 4:32. 1 page.
Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you (Ephesians 4:32).
Being graceful doesn’t come naturally to me. I’m the one who prefers shoes without heels, because honestly, I don’t trust myself not to twist an ankle while wearing them. Dancing, and particularly line-dancing, doesn’t come easily for me either. Although I can usually pick up the rhythm, the quick steps required to stay with the group make me feel clumsy and inept. Needless to say, the art of being a ballet dancer was never on my radar.
Being a grace-full woman doesn’t come naturally to me, either. I am reminded in Romans 3:23 that … all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. I am sinful and thus an enemy of God. I deserve only God’s wrath and condemnation. I am separated from Him by an insurmountable wall of my sin, built daily – brick by brick, sin by sin.

Devotion on God's Love, Relationships with others, 1 Thessalonians 3:12a. 2 pages.
May the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all (1 Thessalonians 3:12a).
It is not always easy to abound in love. There are days when it is not easy to abound in like. Abounding in love seems impossible when a spouse has forgotten to take out the trash or the children bicker over a toy or gadget. Yet, Christ says in John 15:12: This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. We don’t have a choice to love or not.
