THE MOTHER OF US ALL
IN THE BEGINNING...THE WORD
DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY, November 9,2011
THE MOTHER OF US ALL
But Jerusalem which is above is free,which is the
mother of us all. Galatians 4:26
Sarah and Abraham had a child of promise. God had promised
that he would give them a son, and they waited for him to come, and he did.
Sarah represents Jerusalem above. For all who trust in the promise of
salvation through Jesus Christ alone, receive the promise of salvation. We are free,
never again to be enslaved to a burden. We are free to serve God in Spirit and in truth.
Today, let us praise God for making us a part of the New Jerusalem.

YOUR GENTLENESS
IN THE BEGINNING...THE WORD
DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2011
YOUR GENTLENESS
Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation:
and thy right hand hath holden me up,
and thy gentleness hath made me great.
Psalms 18:35
David knew the gentleness of
God, and so declares that it was
God's gentleness which had made him great.
Thankfully, we serve a God who holds us up, enlightens
our darkness, and keeps our feet from slipping. He gently, patiently trains us and equips us so that in God's perfect time we find and can perform God's perfect will.
Today, let us allow the Holy
Spirit to bear the sweet fruit of gentleness in us!

NO CHARGE
IN THE BEGINNING...THE WORD
DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY, NOVEMBER 3,2011
NO CHARGE
AND THEY STONED STEPHEN, CALLING UPON GOD,
AND SAYING, LORD JESUS, RECEIVE MY SPIRIT.
AND HE KNEELED DOWN, AND CRIED WITH A LOUD VOICE,
LORD, LAY NOT THIS SIN TO THEIR CHARGE. AND WHEN
HE HAD SAID THIS, HE FELL ASLEEP. ACTS 7:59,60
I imagine Stephen had to use all of the strength he had
to utter his last words. Out of all the words he could have
spoken, he chose these: LAY NOT THIS SIN TO THEIR CHARGE.
Stephen was an innocent man, but he was far from ordinary.
The scriptures tell us, "And Stephen, full of faith and power,did great wonders and miracles
among the people"(Acts 6:8). Though Stephen was a man of God, the people hated him. Still, he modeled Jesus by forgiving his accusers.
Today, let us model Christ as we ask God to dismiss the charges against those who have harmed us.
