April 26~ Dr. Tom Milam He Leadeth Me Devotional

“This Do In Remembrance Of Me”
I Corinthians 11:23-24 

How is it that we could let things slip so easily, and actually forget the One that delivered us from the bondage of sin? You say that, that is foolish, I could never forget my gracious Saviour. But we do, even though He never forgets us. Can we forget that He gave his very blood for us? Will we forget to be mindful of His love for us? Will we forget that He gave his very blood for us?  Will we forget to be mindful of His love for us, as He suffered a most cruel death? We would smirk with calloused fervor toward anyone that would insinuate that impossibility. But we, by fault, let fleshliness and worldliness creep in and override our spirituality to the point sometimes that it appears as if we allow Jesus to just stop in for a few minutes or maybe spend the night; he is counted then as merely a stranger. Can Jesus make Himself at home with you, or is He just a visitor?

We sadly forget how He suffered, bled and died; How He endured the cross and grimaced at the shame, for us.  Oh, how we disregard His humility and desecrate His mindfulness and be even forgetful of the indwelling Redeemer? Something catches your eye and draws your heart away, even if it’s for a very short period of time; maybe your job or some business dealings takes your thoughts away and you know that it’s been too long since you really paid attention to the Cross of Calvary. The pull of the world and it’s constant attraction has made you forgetful of even the most important things; Remember to remember the cross.

 “Help”

Many things may slip away, that I thought I wanted, so bad;

But help me Lord to be mindful of the things, that make me and my Saviour glad.

Bible Reading Schedule: 1 Kings 12-13

Weekly Memory Verses: Romans 8:35-39  

35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
