Our Ebenezer Stone, and Remembering the Past Year?

Christian , Daily Devotional , Easter, God’s Help

It is the final day of the year and a good time to look back on all that God has done for us, and with us, during it. There will be memories of the wonderful moments, disappointments, celebrations, and mourning, but in all of these remembrances, and more, God is evident and has been helping us. This is a time to look at the victories we have experienced together, the rescues we have received, the healing of our hearts, and the comforting of our spirits. Then, let’s set up an Ebenezer stone (stone of help) in our lives as a way of remembering Him for all His help.

He has Risen, and even Behind our Locked Doors Jesus Comes to Us!

It is Easter morning, and by government decree many of us are locked in our homes. We are much like the apostles who were sequestered in Jerusalem for fear of what might happen to them. First Jesus sent word to them to meet Him in Galilee, and then when they didn’t believe He appeared to them personally by miraculously entering the bolted room they were hiding in. Today we are locked in our homes, but not out of disbelief. This morning Jesus will come to us wherever we are at, and He will likewise send us into the world with His gospel.

Glorious Holy Day

We are preparing ourselves for Lent, and during this Lenten season we will pray, deny ourselves, repent, and in quiver and contrition ask forgiveness for all our sins by God’s mercy and grace through Jesus Christ. As we ready ourselves, the story of Jesus plays out in our hearts, minds, and souls, and in remembrance of His promised return, we realize that He has never left, and will never leave us.

Three Sabbaths, and their Holiness through Eternity

What does the sabbath mean to you, is it simply a day of rest, a day off from work, or is there much more to this day than sleeping a little longer than usual, and going to church for a couple of hours? The Sabbath is the only day of the week that is called holy. God blessed it, and set it apart from all the rest, but did you know that there were three sabbaths celebrated during the first Holy Week of Passover?
