Kiss The Wave Isa 43:2 #Nightlight #RTTBROS

"When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee." ISA 43:2

Charles H. Spurgeon was a man of great faith who experienced many trials and difficulties in his life. One of his most famous quotes is, "I have learned to kiss the waves that throw me up against the Rock of Ages." This quote is a powerful reminder that even in the midst of life's storms, we can find hope and security in God.

The waves that Spurgeon refers to are the trials and difficulties that we all face in life. These waves can be overwhelming and frightening, but they can also be an opportunity for us to draw closer to God. As Spurgeon says, these waves can throw us up against the Rock of Ages, which is a reference to God's steadfast love and faithfulness.

One verse that speaks to this idea is Psalm 18:2, which says, "The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower." This verse reminds us that God is our rock, our fortress, and our deliverer. He is the one who can protect us and keep us safe in the midst of life's storms.

Another verse that speaks to this idea is Isaiah 43:2, which says, "When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee." This verse reminds us that even when we are going through difficult times, God is with us. He will not let us be overwhelmed by the waves or consumed by the fire.

So today, let us remember Spurgeon's words and learn to kiss the waves that throw us up against the Rock of Ages. Let us trust in God's steadfast love and faithfulness, knowing that He is our rock, our fortress, and our deliverer. And let us take comfort in the knowledge that even in the midst of life's storms, God is with us, protecting us and keeping us safe.

HIDDEN Strength Phil. 4:13 #Nightlight #RTTBROS

HIDDEN Strength Phil. 4:13  #Nightlight #RTTBROS

Title: Hidden Strength
Scripture: "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." - Philippians 4:13 (KJV)

Devotion:
Anatoli, a weight trainer and fitness model, disguises himself as a janitor and pranks big, strong bodybuilders in the gym by moving and lifting weights that are almost too heavy for them to lift. This is surprising to them because Anatoli is small framed but incredibly strong. His hidden strength is a source of amazement and inspiration to those who witness his feats.

As Christians, we too have a hidden source of strength - the Holy Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, and He is the source of our power, wisdom, and guidance. He is the one who empowers us to do all things through Christ who strengthens us.

Just as Anatoli's hidden strength surprises and inspires those around him, our hidden strength in the Holy Spirit can surprise and inspire those around us. When we face challenges and difficulties, we can tap into the power of the Holy Spirit to give us the strength we need to overcome them.

The apostle Paul knew the power of the Holy Spirit in his life. He wrote, "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." (Philippians 4:13, KJV). Paul faced many challenges and difficulties in his life, but he knew that he could do all things through Christ who strengthened him.

As we face challenges and difficulties in our own lives, let us remember that we have a hidden source of strength in the Holy Spirit. Let us tap into His power and allow Him to strengthen us to do all things through Christ. Just as Anatoli's hidden strength inspires those around him, our hidden strength in the Holy Spirit can inspire those around us to trust in God's power and provision.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of the Holy Spirit. Help us to tap into His power and strength to face the challenges and difficulties of life. May our hidden strength in the Holy Spirit inspire those around us to trust in Your power and provision. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Cautionary Tale Matt 5:16 #Nightlight #RTTBROS

Cautionary Tale Matt 5:16  #Nightlight #RTTBROS

Verse: "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." - Matthew 5:16 (KJV)

Devotion:
As Christians, we are called to be a light in the world, shining the love and truth of Christ to those around us. But how we live our lives will determine whether we are a warning or an example to those around us. Our actions and attitudes have the power to either caution others about the dangers of a life lived apart from God or to inspire them to follow Christ.

The trajectory of our lives is determined by the choices we make each day. We can choose to live for ourselves, pursuing our own desires and ambitions, or we can choose to live for God, seeking to honor Him in all that we do. The path we choose will determine whether our lives are cautionary or laudatory.

If we choose to live for ourselves, we may achieve success and gain the admiration of others, but our lives will ultimately be empty and meaningless. On the other hand, if we choose to live for God, we may face challenges and difficulties, but our lives will be filled with purpose and joy.

So, what do you choose? Will you live for yourself or for God? Will you be a cautionary tale or an example to others? Let us choose to let our light shine before men, that they may see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven. May our lives be a testimony to the transforming power of Christ and an inspiration to those around us.

Jesus Joy. Neh. 8:10

 Learn to get a little Jesus joy

Redeeming the time brothers podcast, a podcast by Gene Kissinger, Norman Kissinger, two brothers who have spent their lives in ministry and raising large families. Our desire is to provide a digital place for those who longed to belong. And as always, we want to leave a nightlight on for you.

That nightlight is out of the book of Nehemiah chapter eight in verse 10. It says,

Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat and drink the sweet and send portions to them. For whom nothing is prepared for this day is holy unto the Lord. Neither be sorry for the joy of the Lord is your strength.

I gotta tell you in the midst of all the chaos and drama and trauma that's out there, I need a little Jesus joy. I'm talking about the kind of joy that just lifts your soul up no matter what's going on around you. I got to tell you, my eternal destiny is settled and secured because I'm smart enough to believe in the one who died on the cross, for me. I'm trusting in his merritorious work on the cross to take me straight to heaven when I die,
through no merit of my own,
through no human worth of my own through no human work of my own, through no religious, religious song and dance of my own.
I have a Jesus joy.

Handle when he was writing the Messiah, the now famous,classic, music composition. The Messiah that you hear so often, in popular media, it is a powerful piece that has spanned centuries, bringing joy to the multitudes. In writing it, a lot of people don't know that he wrote it in a three week span of time, and he wrote it almost as though God were whispering the notes in his ears. He scribbled the musical notes down furiously. Many people also don't know is that he was in the midst of losing his eyesight, experiencing a severe physical handicap at. People also don't know that he was under severe financial stress, he was on the verge of bankruptcy while composing this masterpiece. In the middle of that mess God gave him 'Handel's Messiah" that has transformed lives, and caused souls to soar. He lived to see it spread around the world and become a powerful tradition, In classical music. It is probably one of the greatest compositions that's ever been written. He said the secret to the writing was his heart was filled with joy. It was almost to the place of bursting, with joy, while he was thinking about the concept of Jesus, as messiah, and that's what translated into this powerful music. So when you hear "the Lord God omnipotent reigneth hallelujah," that was written with a Jesus joy.

Do you have a Jesus joy? You can have it just turn to him and trust in him. Let him save you from your sins. Let him wash him make it clean. He can change everything. Let's pray.

Dear Lord God, I thank you for this day and I thank you for these dear ones. Lord, so many are Looking at every where, in all the wrong places, and all the wrong faces to find joy. No matter how hard they look, no matter how long they look, they won't find it till they find a Jesus joy. There's a Jesus shaped vacuum in their life and they need to turn to you to find it. Help fill them to the place of fullness, God, wash them make them wider than snow. In Jesus name, amen.
God bless you have all.
