IN THE BEGINNING...THE WORD
DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY, FEBRUARY 6, 2013
A CHANGE OF HEART
And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:
That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God. Ezekiel 11:19,20
The body of Christ has one thing in common: we have one new and lively heart. The former things are passed away. The cold, indifferent, stony, stepping over, ill-mannered, inconsiderate heart of stone is gone. The new, warm, loving, moving, feeling, compassionate, comforting, caring heart of flesh has arrived. We can now walk with God and be moved by His Spirit. We can now love one another as Christ has loved us. We can now worship our God in Spirit and in Truth. What a wonderful change of heart God has given.
Today, let us praise God for our HEART!

FLOURISH
IN THE BEGINNING...THE WORD
DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY, FEBRUARY 4, 2013
FLOURISH
Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages.
Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourish,whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee my loves.
The mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates are all manner of pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved. Song of Solomon 7:11-13
He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch. Proverbs 11:28
If we stay connected to the true Vine, Jesus Christ, we are sure to flourish--and that more abundantly.
Today, let us thank God for giving us power to flourish.

DESTINY
IN THE BEGINNING...THE WORD
DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY, FEBRUARY 3, 2013
DESTINY
Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. In whom ye also trusted after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. Ephesian 1:10-15
God has purposed your destiny; it's already worked out in Him. So all things work together for the good to those who love God and those who are the called according to His purpose. Just as the creation of heaven and earth was worked out through Christ, those who trust in Christ Jesus can be sure that their destiny is being worked out creatively--and shall come to pass. Therefore, those who put their trust in Christ can boldly say: "If God be for us, who can be against us?"(Romans 8:31).
Today, let us thank God for destiny!

IN THE BEGINNING...THE WORD
DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY, JANUARY 28, 2013
RULERS, JUDGES, AND DELIVERERS
Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? I Corinthians 6:2
And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD'S. Obadiah 1:21
Therefore thou deliveredst them into the hand of their enemies, who vexed them: and in the time of their trouble, when they cried unto thee, thou heardest them from heaven; and according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest them saviours, who saved them out of the hand of their enemies. Nehemiah 9:27
But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever. Daniel; 7:18

After we have suffered a while, we will grow in maturity and be given the awesome responsibility to judge...the world, even the smallest matters. Christ Jesus is the Wisdom of God and He lives in us!
Today, God has everything under control.

A FEAST, AND A GARDEN FOR THE LORD
IN THE BEGINNING...THE WORD
DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY, JANUARY 23, 2013
A FEAST, AND A GARDEN FOR THE LORD
I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved. Song of Solomon 5:1
We desire to delight the heart of God, so we seek His will. And sometimes, when were not so much seeking, God leads us right into the center of His will. "What was that?" we wonder. It may take a little time to figure out God's design, but after a while we begin to understand God's heart.
So, we shall allow our life, our love, our labor, to bring delight to the Father.
It's hard to believe that God wants to come into His garden, and His garden is us-- in Christ Jesus! May we bring forth fruit, blessed fruit for our King! And let us, too, enjoy the delights of LOVE.
Today, it's all about the heart of God!
