17 December 2022 Isaiah 55:10-11 As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. I’m not sure if I’m a masochist, or just someone who is a real glutton for punishment. It seems that throughout my Christian life, God has always given me the tough cases, even though my wife was diagnosed with MS sh...

Today is Thanksgiving Day, and what better day to thank the Lord for all that he has done for us, and to testify about his wonderful deeds. The wonderful things that the Lord has done for my wife and I over the years, are two numerous to tell in this short devotional. Therefore, I would like to take this time to thank the Lord for the most important thing that he has ever done for me. It was that day on Calvary’s cross when he gave up his very own life for me. Over 2000 years later, I had an encounter with our risen Lord while driving down the autobahn in Germany, at 200 km/h. It is that exper...

Can you just imagine what type of world this would be, if everyone used the gift, talents and abilities they have been given, in order to serve others instead of themselves. Paraphrasing John 12: 43, “they prefer the praise of man more than the praise of God.” There are many ways in which people receive the praise of man. It is not just by the applause they receive from others, but it is also by the monetary rewards that they might receive. In other words, when we use the gifts talents and abilities we have received from God, they should be used for God’s glory and not our own. I am not just t...
