Master The Minutes Pro 6:6-11 #Nightlight #RTTBROS

 Devotion: Mastering the Minutes

Proverbs 6:6-11 (KJV) says, "Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest. How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man."

This passage speaks to the importance of diligence and hard work. The ant is a small creature, but it is wise and diligent in gathering food during the summer and harvest seasons. It does not need a guide, overseer, or ruler to tell it what to do. It simply knows what needs to be done and does it.

The concept of "Master the minutes and the months and years will take care of themselves" is all about focusing on the present moment and making the most of it. We cannot control the future, but we can control what we do with our time right now. By mastering our minutes, we are taking control of our lives and setting ourselves up for success in the future.

In the passage from Proverbs, the sluggard is warned about the consequences of his laziness. He is told that his poverty will come upon him like an armed man. This is a powerful image that reminds us of the importance of being diligent and hardworking. We cannot afford to be lazy or complacent, for this will lead to our downfall.

But if we are willing to put in the hard work and effort required, we can achieve great things. We can build successful careers, create strong relationships, and make a positive impact on the world around us. All of this starts with mastering our minutes and making the most of every opportunity that comes our way.

So let us take this lesson to heart and commit ourselves to being diligent and hardworking. Let us focus on the present moment and make the most of every opportunity that comes our way. By doing so, we can trust that God will take care of the months and years ahead, and we will be able to achieve the success and prosperity that we desire.

Good Question Ps 119:9 #Nightlight #RTTBROS

Good Question Ps 119:9 #Nightlight #RTTBROS

As we go through life, it is important to ask ourselves good questions. The psalmist in Psalm 119:9 asks, "Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word." This question reminds us that we need to turn to God's word for guidance and wisdom. We need to seek His truth and apply it to our lives.

Another example of asking good questions is found in the parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15:17. The son asks himself, "How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger?" This question leads him to return to his father and seek forgiveness. It reminds us that we need to reflect on our emotions, actions, and decisions, and seek to make things right when we have gone astray.

As we ask ourselves good questions, we can also turn to God's word for answers. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." This verse reminds us to trust in God and seek His guidance in all areas of our lives.

May we always turn to God's word for guidance and wisdom, and may we ask ourselves good questions that lead us closer to Him.

The Gift Of Today Ps. 118:24 #RTTBROS #Nightlight

The Gift Of Today Ps. 118:24 #Nightlight #RTTBROS

The Gift Of Today.

Scripture: Psalm 118:24

This is the day that the Lord hath made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. — Psalm 118:24 

Greetings, my dear friends! Today, I want to talk to you about a beautiful truth that we often overlook in the hustle and bustle of our daily lives. It is the fact that every day is a gift from God, a fresh opportunity to celebrate and be grateful for all that He has done for us.

Do you remember the excitement you felt as a child on your birthday? The anticipation of what the day might hold, the joy of being surrounded by loved ones, and the thrill of receiving presents? Well, my friends, every day is like a birthday of sorts, because it is a day that the Lord has made.

As I’ve gotten older, birthdays have lost some of their magic. But I still love the idea of a day that’s set apart from all the others. A day to celebrate, to remember, to be grateful

Psalm 118:24 reminds us to rejoice and be glad in every day, no matter how ordinary or difficult it may seem. We can find reasons to be grateful in the people we love, the beauty of creation, and the simple pleasures of life.

But let us not forget that our joy is not dependent on our circumstances. Even in the midst of trials and challenges, we can find joy in the Lord, knowing that He is with us, He loves us, and He is working all things together for our good.

So, my dear friends, let us make the most of this day that the Lord has made. Let us keep our eyes open for the blessings that He has given us, and let us share our joy with others, spreading the love of Christ wherever we go. For this is the day that the Lord has made, and we will rejoice and be glad in it!

Transformed for Fruitfulness: Trusting God's Plan John 12:24 #Nightlight #RTTBROS

Transformed for Fruitfulness: Trusting God's Plan John 12:24 #Nightlight #RTTBROS

Verse: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit." - John 12:24 (KJV)

Devotional:

In John 12:24, Jesus uses the illustration of a corn of wheat to teach us about the power of growth and transformation. He tells us that unless a seed falls into the ground and dies, it will remain alone. But if it dies, it will bring forth much fruit.

This verse reminds us that growth often requires sacrifice. Just as a seed must be buried in the ground and die in order to grow into a plant, we too must be willing to let go of old habits, attitudes, and ways of thinking in order to grow and transform.

But the good news is that when we do let go and allow ourselves to be transformed, we can bring forth much fruit. Just as a single seed can grow into a bountiful harvest, our own growth and transformation can have a powerful impact on the world around us.

So let us be like the seed that falls into the ground and dies, trusting that God will bring forth new life and growth in us. And let us be willing to let go of anything that is holding us back, knowing that the fruit of our transformation will be worth the sacrifice. May we be a source of hope and inspiration to those around us, bringing forth much fruit in our lives and in the lives of others.

90 Percent Solution Pro 28:21 #nightlight #RTTBROS

90 Percent Solution Pro 18:21 #Nightlight #RTTBROS One of Chuck Swindoll's most famous quotes is, "Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it." This statement reminds us that we have a choice in how we respond to the circumstances of life. We can choose to react with fear, anger, and bitterness, or we can choose to respond with faith, hope, and love.

The Bible has much to say about the power of our words and our attitudes. Proverbs 18:21 in the KJV says, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." This verse reminds us that our words have the power to bring life or death. We can speak words of encouragement, hope, and love, or we can speak words of discouragement, despair, and hate.

James 1:19-20 in the KJV says, "Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God." This verse reminds us to be slow to speak and slow to anger. We should listen carefully before we speak, and we should not allow our emotions to control our words and actions.

As Christians, we are called to be salt and light in the world. We are called to be a positive influence on those around us, to speak words of life and hope, and to respond to the circumstances of life with faith and love.

The Giving Tree Gal 6:7-8 #nightlight #RTTBROS

The Giving Tree Gal 6:7-8 #Nightlight #RTTBROS Devotion:

Every Action You Take Is a Vote for the Person You Want to Become

As believers, we are called to live a life that is pleasing to God. We are called to be holy, just as He is holy (1 Peter 1:16). This means that every action we take, every decision we make, is a vote for the person we want to become. We have the power to shape our own destiny, to become the person that God has called us to be.

In the book of Galatians, we read, "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting" (Galatians 6:7-8, KJV). This means that every action we take has consequences. If we sow seeds of selfishness, greed, and pride, we will reap destruction. But if we sow seeds of love, kindness, and generosity, we will reap the abundant life.

In the book of Proverbs, we read, "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life" (Proverbs 4:23, KJV). This means that our actions are a reflection of our heart. If we have a heart that is focused on God, we will make decisions that honor Him. But if our heart is focused on ourselves, we will make decisions that dishonor Him.

So, every action we take is a vote for the person we want to become. We have the power to shape our own destiny, to become the person that God has called us to be. Let us choose to sow seeds of love, kindness, and generosity, and keep our hearts focused on God.

Illustration:

In the children's story "The Giving Tree" by Shel Silverstein, we see the concept of every action being a vote for the person we want to become illustrated in a powerful way. The story is about a tree that gives everything it has to a boy who keeps coming back to it throughout his life. At first, the boy takes the tree's apples and plays in its branches. As he grows older, he takes the tree's branches to build a house and then its trunk to build a boat. Finally, when the boy is an old man, he comes back to the tree and asks for a place to rest. The tree offers its stump, and the boy sits down and rests.

Throughout the story, we see the tree giving selflessly to the boy, even though it means sacrificing its own well-being. The tree's actions are a reflection of its heart, which is full of love and generosity. The boy's actions, on the other hand, are a reflection of his heart, which is focused on himself. He takes and takes from the tree, without ever giving anything back.

In the end, the boy realizes the error of his ways and sees the tree for what it truly is: a symbol of love and selflessness. He realizes that every action he took was a vote for the person he wanted to become, and he decides to change his ways. He sits down on the tree's stump and rests, finally at peace.

This story reminds us that every action we take is a vote for the person we want to become. We can choose to be like the tree, giving selflessly and reflecting the love of God. Or we can choose to be like the boy, taking and taking without ever giving anything back. Let us choose to be like the tree, and sow seeds of love, kindness, and generosity in everything we do.

Squatters #Nightlight #RTTBROS

Hello, friends. This is RTTBROS Podcast I want to talk to you today about the most valuable piece of real estate in the world - your mind.

You see, your mind is a precious gift from God. It's where you process information, make decisions, and form relationships. It's where you store memories, dreams, and hopes for the future. And yet, so often, we allow negative thoughts, sinful desires, and awful self-talk to take up residence in our minds, like squatters who refuse to leave.

But here's the thing: you don't have to let them stay. You have the power to evict them and replace them with something better.

The Bible tells us in "Philippians 4:8 KJV - 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.."

So, instead of dwelling on negative thoughts, focus on what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy. Fill your mind with God's Word, worship music, and positive affirmations. Surround yourself with people who encourage and uplift you.

And when those negative thoughts and sinful desires come knocking, don't let them in. Instead, take them captive and replace them with the truth of God's Word.

Remember, your mind is the most valuable piece of real estate in the world. Don't let the squatters of sin, negative thinking, and self-talk take up residence. Evict them and replace them with something better.

And when you do, you'll find that your life will be transformed. You'll experience greater peace, joy, and contentment. You'll be more confident, more hopeful, and more resilient. And you'll be better equipped to face whatever challenges come your way.

So, my friends, I encourage you today to take a moment and evaluate what's taking up residence in your mind. Are there any squatters that need to be evicted? If so, ask God for the strength and wisdom to do so. And then, fill your mind with what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy.

As the apostle Paul wrote in "Romans 12:2 KJV

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.."

May God bless you as you seek to renew your mind and live according to his will. Thank you for joining me today.

Rumble Strip Rom 13:11 #Nightlight #RTTBROS

Rumble Strip Rom 13:11 #Nightlight #RTTBROS

My dear friends, have you ever driven on a long stretch of highway, feeling the monotony of the road lull you into a drowsy state? It's a dangerous situation, isn't it? One moment of inattention, and you could find yourself drifting off the road, into danger.

But thank God for the rumble strip on the side of the freeway! That simple, unassuming strip of grooves in the pavement can be a lifesaver. It's designed to jolt you awake if you start to drift off course. It's a warning that says, "Wake up! You're in danger!"

 His Word to keep us from drifting off course in our spiritual lives. In Romans 13:11, the Apostle Paul says, "And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed."

My friend, it's high time we awake! We live in a world that is constantly trying to lull us into spiritual slumber. We can become so focused on the things of this world that we forget about the things that matter most. We can become so comfortable in our routines that we forget about the urgency of the Gospel.

But just like the rumble strip on the side of the freeway, God's Word is there to wake us up. It's a warning that says, "Wake up! You're in danger!" It's a reminder that our time on Earth is so transitory. 

Let us be vigilant and watchful, knowing that our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. Let us not be caught off guard by the cares and distractions of this world, but let us be focused on the things that matter most.

And just like the rumble strip on the side of the freeway, let us be grateful for the warnings that God has given us in His Word. Let us be quick to repent and turn back to Him when we find ourselves drifting off course.

And may we always remember the words of Romans 13:11, "And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed." Amen.
