I pray you are not growing weary in daily spending time with the Lord through these devotions.   If you keep it up, it will become a habit to read your Bible and pray everyday, then it will become a delight!   So, let us press on together sister J 1.     Read Psalm 63:4   How does David praise the Lord and how should we? I have been saved since I was 13 years old and have been going to church at least three times a week or more every week of my life.   That is a lot of opportunities to offer praise to the Lord, but I wasted a lot of those opportunities.   When I was at a youth camp it was easy to raise my hand to worship because other people were.   However, when I got back to my regular church I quit raising my hands to worship for two reasons.   One reason was no one else was raising their hands to worship.   The second reason was the devil was telling me that because I wasn’t perfect and had not prayed enough or been with Him that day that I would be a hypocrite to raise my hand an

Moment With the Master           Week 3 1.      Read Psalm 63:1-2   Why did David seek God early according to Psalm 63:2? 2.    During church services I have seen the power of God and felt the presence of God.   David had seen God’s power and glory in the sanctuary and it was so wonderful that He longed to see it again.   I love to go to church to worship God and sing to Him with other believers.   The Bible says “Where two or more are gathered together in my name there am I in the midst”…   Why do you come to church? 3.    When we go to church as much as we can, experience the presence of God through worshipping Him, and hear the word of God preached we will grow as a Christian.   However, God desires that we seek HIM and spend time with Him daily.   Everyday you need to be reading your Bible and praying a little so you will grow in your relationship with God.   How would you feel if your husband or friend only talked to you and listened to you one day a week when you were in public

1.     Pray and ask the Holy Spirit to teach you and give you understanding. 2.     Read Psalm 63 3.     This is a Psalm that David wrote when he was in the wilderness of Judah. 4.     Most Psalms are songs of praise or worship to the Lord, or heartfelt prayers to God.   Let’s let Psalm 63 become our prayer. 5.     Read Psalm 63:1a.   Can you say with the psalmist, “O God, thou art my God”?   Was there a time in your life when you realized you were a lost sinner and needed Jesus to save you?   Did you choose to make the one true God your God?   Having a relationship with Jesus is a personal thing that you have to decide on your own.   Once you are saved you can have an ongoing, intimate, and personal relationship with God.   If you are unsure of your salvation please talk to Pastor John or me (Brandi). 6.     Read Psalm 63:1b   Do you seek the Lord early?   I have a hard time with this one.   I do sit down and read my Bible and pray in the mid-morning, but it is not super early.   Howe

Join me for a devotional I am writing called, A Moment with the Master.  I know we are all busy but as children of God we must spend time with Him each day, even if only for a moment in His Word and prayer.  My goal is to help you dig in the Word with some questions and thoughts for your time with God  through the week.  Here is Week 1... 1 .Read John 4:1-8 and list the two people in this passage. 2 . Where does this story take place? 3 . Read John 4:9-14  What did Jesus mean by saying, "Whosever drinketh of  the water that I shall give him shall never thirst?" 4 . Read John 4:15-19   Describe this woman's past.  Describe your past before you met Jesus as your Savior. 5 . This woman said, "Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw" John 4:15  She was saying, 'I want what you have Jesus.  I want to be satisfied by you and not temporarily satisfied by the 'water' of this world'.  Describe the time in your l
