Unknown Healing and Hidden Blessings

Richard Forbes
Christian , Daily Devotional , Unknown Healing

Where are we as a people? We might wake up in the morning with a cough, but by mid-day it has gone. When this occurs we think it only natural, and that our body has healed itself, but in truth we are healed by grace every day despite becoming hardened to faith, and turning away from the ways of God. Our Heavenly Father heals without our knowing, and walks quietly with us, even with the most despicable sinners, as He whispers to our hearts, and loves us in our most undeserving moments. Will we repent? Will we turn to the Lord? Will our hearts be healed, and our feet find the way home, without our knowing?

Trusting Jesus and Traveling the Unknown Road before Us

Richard Forbes
Christian , Daily Devotional , Trusting the Journey

We profess our faith in Jesus Christ, fall to our knees as we ask Him to be the center of our life, and pledge to follow His commandments and instruction. On that first day when we said that we would faithfully follow Him, did we really know where that would take us, and where we were going? Reading scripture and commentaries is like packing our luggage with the necessities we would need for a journey to anywhere, but before we can select suitable clothing for the trip, we must know where it is that we believe we are going; so today let’s each begin by asking ourselves some questions… do I know where Jesus is taking me? Have I asked the Lord where our final destination is to be, and am I prepared to trust in Him enough to leave my luggage and clothing behind, and to simply shoulder my cross, and begin the journey that He is leading me on?

Do I have no Gifts or Talents to give?

Christian , Daily Devotional , Secret Gifts

Are we one of those Christians who says they have no particular gift or talent to use in service of the Lord? Do we go to church, stand when the others stand, mumble our way through the singing because we can’t carry a tune in a bucket, and in every way lead a rather obscure life? Well perhaps we do far more than we realize. Maybe our greatest gift for the kingdom is to live out a godly life, and quietly tell people about Jesus in a non-demonstrative manner. Are we one of the great heroes for the kingdom that flies under the earthly radar, and that no one except God sees?
