Unshakable Foundation Deut 32:4  #RTTBROS #Nightlight 

The Unshakable Foundation of God's Truth

"He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he." (Deuteronomy 32:4, KJV)

In a world where the very concept of truth seems to be crumbling, it's crucial for believers to anchor their lives upon the solid foundation of God's unchanging truth. As Moses declares in his song, our God is a "God of truth," and this fundamental attribute sets Him apart from the lies and deception of the enemy.

The battle we face is not merely against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of darkness that seek to obscure and distort the truth. By manipulating what people perceive as truth, the enemy can control their actions and lead them astray. As Christians, we must stand firm on the revelation of God's Word, trusting in its validity and sufficiency for every aspect of life.

The Psalmist echoes this confidence in God's truth, proclaiming, "Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth" (Psalm 31:5, KJV). In times of uncertainty and turmoil, we can entrust our very lives into the hands of the God who cannot lie. His Word becomes our anchor, providing wisdom, guidance, and stability when everything else seems to be falling apart.

As we navigate the challenges and decisions of life, let us remember that we serve a God of truth. May this knowledge strengthen our faith, shape our worldview, and empower us to live as uncompromising witnesses for Christ. In a culture of confusion, may we be unwavering beacons of God's eternal truth.

Prayer: Almighty God, I thank You that You are the God of truth. When the world around me seems to be in chaos, I choose to anchor my life upon the solid rock of Your Word. Give me discernment to recognize and resist the lies of the enemy, and grant me boldness to proclaim Your truth in a world that desperately needs it. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Light For The Job PS 119:105 #RTTBROS #Nightlight

Light For The Job PS 119:105  #RTTBROS #Nightlight 

Psalm 119:105 (KJV) says, "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." This verse beautifully illustrates how God's Word illuminates our lives and guides us through challenging situations.

Consider this analogy: When working on a car, there are times when the task at hand seems nearly impossible because you can't see clearly what needs to be done. The space is dark, and the components are hard to identify. In such moments, you call out to a friend or family member to hold a light for you. Suddenly, with the light shining in the right place, you can see exactly what needs to be fixed, and the seemingly impossible task becomes manageable.

In our spiritual lives, we often face situations that feel overwhelming and confusing. We may not know which way to turn or how to navigate the challenges before us. It's in these moments that we need to turn to God's Word for guidance and clarity.

Just as a light helps us see what we're working on when fixing a car, the Bible sheds light on our path and helps us understand God's will for our lives. When we read and meditate on Scripture, God reveals His wisdom, His character, and His plan for us. The Bible provides us with the guidance we need to make decisions, overcome obstacles, and walk in a manner pleasing to God.

As we face the complexities of life, let us remember to turn to God's Word as our source of light and truth. May we cherish the Bible as a lamp to our feet and a light to our path, trusting in its power to guide us through even the darkest of times. Let us approach God's Word with a heart ready to receive its wisdom and apply its teachings to our lives.

In doing so, we will find that the seemingly impossible tasks before us become manageable as we walk in the light of God's truth. Just as a friend or family member holding a light helps us complete a difficult job on a car, God's Word will guide us and give us the clarity we need to navigate life's challenges successfully.

The cure for spiritual anxiety #RTTBROS #Nightlight #NK #Normankissinge

The cure for spiritual anxiety #RTTBROS #Nightlight #NK #Normankissinge

"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:6-7, KJV)

Anxiety is something that plagues many Christians today. The stresses and cares of life can often feel overwhelming, causing us to worry and fret. But as children of God, we are called to trust Him fully, casting all our cares upon Him (1 Peter 5:7).

The Apostle Paul, who faced immense trials and hardships, exhorts us in Philippians to "Be careful for nothing" - in other words, do not be anxious about anything. Instead, we are to bring everything to God in prayer, with thanksgiving.

This is not always easy to do. When faced with dire circumstances, our natural inclination is often to worry. But Paul is clear - the antidote to anxiety is prayer. By humbling ourselves before God, acknowledging our neediness and dependence on Him, and expressing gratitude for His goodness and faithfulness, we open the way for His supernatural peace to guard our hearts and minds.

This peace "passeth all understanding." It transcends our circumstances and human reasoning. It is not the absence of problems, but a deep, abiding sense of God's presence and sovereignty in the midst of them. It provides stability, security and soundness of mind, even in life's storms.

Achieving this peace starts with having a right relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ. It grows as we cultivate that relationship through regular prayer and thanksgiving. While anxiety may still come, as we consistently bring our requests to Him, we will increasingly experience His peace.

Whatever you are facing today, bring it to the Lord in prayer. Thank Him in advance for how He will undertake. Entrust yourself and your circumstances to His loving care. And let His perfect peace be your portion. May you find blessed rest and freedom from anxiety as you abide in Him.

The Anxiety Epidemic #RTTBROS #Nightlight #NK #Normankissinger

Bible Verse:

"Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." - Psalm 139:23-24 (KJV)

Devotion:

In today's fast-paced and often uncertain world, anxiety has become a prevalent issue for many people. As Christians, we must understand that while anxiety can stem from various sources, such as physical problems or spiritual attacks, it is often related to our relationship with God.

The Psalmist in Psalm 139:23-24 invites God to search his heart, revealing any wickedness or anxiety within. This passage suggests that anxiety may be linked to our position in relation to God. When we fail to humble ourselves, repent of our rebellious hearts, and seek God's love and forgiveness through Jesus Christ, we may experience heightened levels of anxiety.

As human beings, we often attempt to play God and solve our own problems. However, this prideful approach only leads to more anxiety, as we realize our inability to control every aspect of our lives. True peace comes from surrendering ourselves wholly to God and trusting in His divine plan.

In Philippians 4:6-7, Paul encourages us to "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." (KJV)

By anchoring ourselves in God's truth and seeking Him through prayer, we can experience the peace that surpasses all understanding. Christian counseling plays a vital role in helping individuals navigate anxiety by guiding them back to the truth found in God's Word.

As you reflect on your own life, ask God to search your heart and reveal any areas where you may not be fully trusting in Him. While not all anxiety is a result of a lack of faith, it can often serve as a thermometer, indicating areas where we need to surrender more fully to God.

Remember, God loves you and desires to lead you in the way everlasting. By drawing closer to Him and allowing His truth to guide your life, you can experience the peace and comfort that only He can provide.

I Am On My Way. Heb 9:27 #RTTBROS #Nightlight

I Am On My Way.  Heb 9:27 #RTTBROS #Nightlight 

I Am On My Way

"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:" (Hebrews 9:27, KJV)

Recently, a friend on Facebook gave a creative writing assignment to take the last text message sent and turn it into a sermon. My last text simply said, "I am on my way." This got me thinking about our journey through life and our ultimate destination. Let's turn to the Word of God for wisdom.

"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:" (Hebrews 9:27, KJV)

Death is an inevitable part of the human experience. It comes to us all, often suddenly and without warning. As the author of Hebrews solemnly reminds us, "it is appointed unto men once to die." We cannot escape this fate.

Yet for the believer in Christ, death is not the end. It is merely a departure from this earthly life as we journey swiftly home to be with our Lord and Savior. Paul tells us that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:8). Though we grieve the loss of loved ones, we do not grieve as those who have no hope, for we know we will be reunited again.

In the final chapter of God's Word, Jesus gives us this blessed assurance: "Surely I come quickly" (Revelation 22:20, KJV). In response, we cry out with the apostle John, "Even so, come, Lord Jesus." What hope and comfort this gives us! Our Savior is on His way to bring us into His glorious presence forevermore.

So let us live with heaven in view, eagerly awaiting that day, and seeking to bring others with us. As you go about your day today, take heart that for the believer, the best is yet to come. Jesus is on His way - look up, for your redemption draws near! Let us be found faithfully serving Him. Amen.

The Cussing Cat Phippians 2:14 #RTTBROS #Nightlight

The Cussing Cat Phippians 2:14 #RTTBROS #Nightlight 

The Cat-astrophic Consequence of Complaining

Bible Verse: "Do all things without murmurings and disputings:" - Philippians 2:14 (KJV)

Devotion:

Our feline friend's incessant complaining about his dinner bowl not being filled to the brim, even when it's not empty, reminds us of how we often behave in our own lives. Just like the cat who disrupts the entire household's sleep, we too can fall into the trap of focusing on what we lack rather than being grateful for what we already have.

The Bible warns us against this behavior in Philippians 2:14 (KJV), urging us to "Do all things without murmurings and disputings." When we constantly complain, we not only rob ourselves of joy and contentment but also strain our relationships with others.

Just as the cat's habit of complaining has led to him being moved outside, our own complaining spirit can cost us dearly. It can push away those closest to us and hinder our personal growth. We must recognize that true happiness and a life of constant complaints cannot coexist.

Take a moment to reflect on the genuinely happy people in your life. You'll likely find that none of them are chronic complainers. They choose to focus on the blessings they have rather than dwelling on what they lack.

As Christians, we are called to cultivate a spirit of gratitude and contentment. When we shift our perspective from what we don't have to what God has already provided, we open the door to true joy and peace.

Let us learn from the cat's mistakes and strive to break free from the habit of complaining. Instead, let us fill our hearts with thanksgiving and trust in God's provision. By doing so, we can experience the abundant life that Christ has promised us.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, forgive me for the times I have allowed a spirit of complaining to take root in my heart. Help me to focus on the blessings You have bestowed upon me and cultivate a heart of gratitude. May I do all things without murmurings and disputings, finding joy and contentment in You alone. In Jesus' name, Amen.

The Power Of Words Pro. 18:21 #RTTBROS #Nightlight

The Power Of Words Pro. 18:21 #RTTBROS #Nightlight 

The Power of Words

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." (Proverbs 18:21, KJV)

Our words hold immense power, not only when we speak to others but also when we engage in self-talk. The Bible reminds us that our tongue has the ability to bring forth both death and life. The words we use to frame our thoughts and experiences can significantly impact our perception and, consequently, our lives.

Illustration 1:

Consider a student who consistently tells herself, "I am not good at math. I will never understand these concepts." By repeating these negative phrases, she reinforces a belief that hinders her progress. However, if she changes her self-talk to, "I am constantly learning and improving in math. With practice and perseverance, I will grasp these concepts," she shifts her mindset to one of growth and possibility. This simple change in language can alter her approach to studying and ultimately lead to better performance.

Illustration 2:

Imagine a person who often says, "I have to go to work today." This phrase carries a sense of burden and obligation. Now, consider the difference when the same person says, "I get to go to work today." Suddenly, the focus shifts to gratitude and opportunity. By recognizing that having a job is a privilege, the individual's experience of work becomes more positive and fulfilling. The circumstances remain the same, but the language used to describe them transforms the person's outlook.

As we navigate through life, let us be mindful of the words we use in our self-talk. Let us choose phrases that uplift, encourage, and inspire us to see the best in ourselves and our situations. When we encounter challenges, let us speak life over them, declaring, "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me" (Philippians 4:13, KJV). By aligning our words with faith and positivity, we open ourselves to experience the abundant life God has intended for us.

Remember, our words are not merely empty sounds; they carry the power to shape our thoughts, emotions, and actions. As we consciously guide our self-talk, we will witness a transformation in our lives. We will find ourselves approaching obstacles with courage, embracing opportunities with enthusiasm, and living each day with a greater sense of purpose and joy.

So, let us heed the wisdom of Proverbs and use our words to speak life over ourselves and others. May our self-talk be a fountain of encouragement, faith, and love, guiding us closer to the path God has ordained for us.

CHICKEN ON A JUNE BUG Pr. 6:6-9#RTTBROS #Nightlight

CHICKEN ON A JUNE BUG Pr. 6:6-9#RTTBROS #Nightlight 

Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:  7 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,

8 Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest. Pr. 6:6-9

In the old days, folks had a saying for just about every situation, and one that always stuck with me is "Jump on something like a chicken on a June bug." Now, you might be wondering what in the world that means, but bear with me, and I'll explain.

You see, when a chicken spots a juicy June bug, it doesn't just sit there and wait for someone else to come along and catch it. No sir! That chicken jumps into action, chasing down that bug with all the enthusiasm and determination it can muster. It knows that if it wants to enjoy the tasty treat, it has to act fast and get the job done.

The same principle applies to our lives, especially when it comes to taking care of our homes. The Bible tells us in Proverbs 31:27, "She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness." This verse reminds us that it's our responsibility to tend to the tasks and chores that keep our homes running smoothly.

When we see something that needs doing around the house, whether it's fixing a leaky faucet, mowing the lawn, or cleaning out the gutters, we shouldn't wait for someone else to take care of it. We should jump on it like a chicken on a June bug, tackling the task with energy and resolve.

By taking initiative and being proactive in our household duties, we demonstrate our love and care for the home God has blessed us with. We also set a positive example for our family members, showing them the value of hard work and responsibility.

So, the next time you spot a chore that needs tending to, remember the old saying and jump on it like a chicken on a June bug. Your home will thank you, and you'll be living out the wisdom of Proverbs 31:27.
