May 5, 2023 ~ LKMilam May 2023 Devotions: Fruitful

And so, I continue. . . 

That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving and tell of all thy wondrous works. Psalms 26:7

Psalms 92:12-15 ~ 12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. 13 Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. 14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing; 15 To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him. KJV 

". . . like the palm tree . . ." 

Charles Spurgeon said, “When we see a noble palm standing erect, sending all its strength upward in one bold column, and growing amid the dearth and drought of the desert, we have a fine picture of the godly man, who in his uprightness aims alone at the glory of God; and, independent of outward circumstances, is made by divine grace to live and thrive where all things else perish.” 

Very nicely said! Psalm 92 is all about the "goodness of God" and His willingness for His children to serve Him so that He can bless them. We don't raise our children a certain way so that they can go against us, we want to reward them for obeying and following the "rules" that are laid out before them. So, it is with God! When we stand in our uprightness as Christians, leaning towards our Saviour and His plans for our lives, the rewards are more than we could ever know! The biggest reward as Christians, we know that our eternal home will be in Heaven!

My husband and I every day, marvel at the Goodness of God. Through His provision, love, guidance, and comfort all day every day! We want you to have that same relationship, and so it is we constantly encourage Christians to follow after Christ. It is one thing to be saved, but if you have not "surrendered" your Christian life to Christ you are missing out on God's very best for your life and that of your family. Then, we also encourage the lost to be saved and to accept the wonderful life God has for them.

May we never ever refuse Him Who loved us enough to send His only Son to die in our place on calvary! Did you read that? That is what God did for you! Be saved today, and Christian, show up in church today! The blessings of God are waiting on you and your decisions to "follow after Him!"

HE CARES! Lost person, Do You Want to Know HIM?  Lord, help us to be wise, studied up, aware, and faithful to You. Amen.  With love and prayers, may we be your faithful Philippians 2:16 Missionaries?

May 1, 2023 ~ LKMilam May 2023 Devotions: Fruitful

And so, I continue. . . 

That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving and tell of all thy wondrous works. Psalms 26:7

Genesis 1:11-12 ~ 11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. 12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. KJV

From the very beginning everything God created was to be fruitful. In our verses here God is creating the earth as we live in. He created them with the thought of continuing the cycle of birth, life, death. Fruitful from the blades of grass springing forth from the ground to the trees and their fruit producing abilities. I do notice in verse 12, that God makes mention that the yielding fruit would be ". . . after his kind, . . ." Have you ever wondered why He would say this? Maybe he knew that man, of which he had not even created yet, would take nearly every species of every kind on earth and practice scientific methods to procreate cross breeds from plants, animals, and even growing a living being from seeds in a cup. This was not God's plan. He made male and female of everything He created.... that was it!

Fruitfulness of any kind is good, as God said. I want to be fruitful even now. How can I be fruitful? I am a Christian and I can lead another person to the Lord so that they are a Christian and they can lead someone else to the Lord, who will a be a Christian. I know this pleases God. When it comes time to stand before God, will we be able to say that we were fruitful for His honor and glory, and many Christians came up behind us because of our effort to win souls to the Lord?

Make that a part of your everyday life to seek out the lost and bring them to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ!
