Daniel Robison's Input on Today's Devotion

One step that we all have to take is death.  There are very few that have bypassed this process and none as of late.  All of our loved ones will morn the day of our passing and for a good reason.  When someone is loved, especially someone that was a very loving person, that person is missed by their family and friends.  Never being able to talk to them or share in our experiences again, that hurts.  As Christians, we know that if they have accepted Christ as their personal Lord a Savior they are not far away and we will see them again.  Jesus is the answer to peace, salvation and eternal life. 

As he said in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me."  Salvation comes to all who are willing to accept Jesus.  Why anyone would reject him is beyond me.  God made it so easy for us and we make it so hard.  Today, do your best to get on the right track and start serving God.  Ask him to show you ways to serve him and if you haven't accepted Jesus as your personal Lord and savior now is the time.  We don't know what tomorrow hold but we know who does, our loving and faithful Father in Heaven.  Turn to him today!

Daniel Robison's Input on Today's Devotion

There will always be people that are not in God's will following their own path.   You and me have gotten off path many times ourselves and pursued our own selfish desires.  When this happens, sin becomes the forefront of our community and injustice happens.  We are seeing the direct result of sin in today's society.  Just because we can do it doesn't mean we should.  Just because it "Makes us happy" doesn't mean it's the right path to go.  And happy for the moment may mean unhappy for the rest of the time.  The guilt and shame that follows selfish desires is not worth a moment of happiness.

Until we, as a people, and the nation turn back to God we will not truly be set free from the consequences of the sins that we have committed.  Maybe it's time that we stand up and speak against the sins of immorality, racism (in all races), ungodliness, paganism, laziness, selfishness and greed.  It's time to accept Jesus and turn back to God and begin to worship and praise him.  This is why we are here and why he created us.  Let's try to keep that as our number one goal.

Daniel Robison's Input on Today's Devotion

Potential.  That's what God sees in you and has given you.  It's what you do with that potential that makes all the difference in the world.  Are you using the talents and skill that God has given you for his kingdom or are you using them to do what you can to benefit yourself and get your earthly desires?  Maybe you're not using them at all or even realize what they are.  When we concentrate on our self we have a blurred vision of the world and chase down temporary highs to help us cope with life.  When we concentrate on God's will we see the world in a whole new light.  Love and others is our focus instead of our selves.

 

God is calling you to a greater purpose.  He wants a personal relationship with you.  He wants and desires for you to help promote his will on earth, as it is in heaven.  Today ask God to show you his vision for your life.  Ask him to open your eyes to the mission field he has set out for you and be ready to see your talents and gifts in a whole new light.

Daniel Robison's Input on Today's Devotion

We've all been there.  Had issues with others that we just couldn't handle. Even just seeing some people who have done us wrong boil us to the core.  We see red.  Most of us have even said things like, "I wouldn't put him out if he was on fire."  and other, nastier comments.  But whatever they did to you, no matter how sever.  Think about it this way, did they beat you within an inch of your life, nail you to a cross and hang you up for the whole world to watch you die?  Because of our sin, that is what each and every one of us did to Christ.

Being the great example that he was what did he do while he was on the cross?  Besides the obvious, forgive us of our sins and even ask his father in heaven to, "Forgive them for they know not what they do."  He took time to accept the thief on the cross into his kingdom and make sure that his mother was taken care of.  Even in his most desperate time he was more concerned about others than he was himself.  May we become as selfless and compassionate to others, especially our enemies, as Jesus was to us.

Daniel Robison's Input on Today's Devotion

It's sad that as Christians we still struggle with sin.  The temptation of the flesh is something that is most powerful.  And the world we live in doesn't help us with our daily struggle.  They are constantly in your face with sin.  Weather it's the sexual sin in the ads of TV or the sin of self fulfillment and looking out for number one, our nation has turned in to a cesspool of immorality.  Once you become a Christian it doesn't make you sinless even though some believe that crazy thought.  We still make mistakes and need to turn to Christ with our struggles.  Becoming a Christian just makes you more aware of your sin and gives you the desire to do better.

While we were lost in the world our motto may have been sex and drugs and rock and roll but when we were saved we should have turned from those evil and self centered ways. The sad thing is our old lifestyle still has a way of tempting us and pulling us back in.  It's during those times when we need to go to scripture, call on Jesus and ask him to help. If you are going through struggles with your old lifestyle calling you back today be sure to pray to the one who has saved you from the devils snare and ask him to help you through it.

Daniel Robison's Input on Today's Devotion

Well, here we are at the end of another month.  I hope your month went well all things considered.  These are crazy times we are living in but also great times to be a Christian because we all have hope in Jesus Christ.  Today we are studying about us being the salt of the earth and light of the world.  Salt edifies food if you use the right amount.  If you use to much it's overpowering.  The same with light.  If you shine the right amount it let's you see everything clearly, too much and it's blinding.

Think about that when sharing Jesus.  Do you turn everything in your life into a discussion of Jesus?  Think about when your at work and people are discussing their sinful life styles.  Do you preach to them?   Maybe you say, "I'm a Christian and I don't participate in such sinful natures."  or do you just smile and walk away.  As in the Old Testament book Song of Solomon, there's a time for everything and there's a time to take a stand and a time to be more passive.  Today, ask God to show you just how much salt to pour on people or light to shine.  We want people to be drawn to Christ not turned away.  Don't be judgemental but show a loving and compassionate attitude today!!

Daniel Robison's Input on Today's Devotion

Jesus healed a woman on the Sabbath knowing fully well of what the consequences were going to be.  You see since Jesus is God he knew the outcome before it ever happened.  Did he care what others thought?  No he did not.  Because the woman's heath was more important to him that what people thought about him working on the Sabbath.  It also gave him a good opportunity to put the troublemakers in their place.  Today he might have said, "Don't you take time to feed your dog or cat on the Sabbath?"  I mean really, if the synagogue leaders knew who they were talking to I'll bet they wouldn't have questioned him.  Then again, maybe they would have.

 

The best ending to this event in Christ's life is that he healed a woman who had been sick for almost two decades and also was able to let people realize that there is no bad time to do the right thing.  Today, think of someone that you can help.  Maybe someone you've been putting off for a while.  Make a difference in someone else's life today and show the love of Jesus through your actions. Don't procrastinate any longer.

Daniel Robison's Input on Today's Devotion

Have you ever had a spat with someone and "unfriended" them.  I'm not talking about on social media I'm talking about in real life.  Sometimes we have disagreements or misunderstandings that are so brutal that they break up a friendship.  I can recall a few in my day.  I can also recall, more than once, apologizing to mend the friendship when I thought there was no reason for me to apologize (I mean, in my eyes I'm never wrong!)  That apology wasn't easy but it felt better after I did apologize and I was glad I did it.

In my life there are very few, if any, people that I have shut off completely.  As a matter of fact right now I can only think of one (now it's bugging you isn't it! You want to know who that one is.)  There are some who still have shunned me but I will do my best to still help them and talk to them if I ever see them in public.  I've mentioned it before but I'll say it again.  A hug cures all.  If I see people who have done me wrong in public I will run up and give them a hug.  First, because I sincerely know that it never does any good to hold a grudge and second, it bugs them to death.  But I'm sure Christ would do the same.  Today, do your best to forgive those who have done you wrong and move on with life.  It's too short to hold grudges.

Daniel Robison's Input on Today's Devotion

Death is never easy and watching loved ones die is something we will witness many times in our lives. Some are people we grew up with that we may have lost touch through the years.  When we see this we might be heartbroken for a minute and even attend the calling hours.  Others hit a little closer to home.  Grandparents, parents and other loved ones that are in our lives all the time many times leave an empty spot in our lives.  These hurt us the most and that's when we can trust in the Lord that we will some day see them again.

Accepting Christ as our personal Lord and Savior is a decision each of us need to make.  God made it so easy for us to receive salvation but so many people make is so hard.  Why is believing that Christ rose from the dead and trusting that he will be with us and help us through all of our troubles if we only accept him so difficult for so many?  Is it selfishness?  Self centered thinking? Rebellion thinking?  I will never understand it.  At the end of the day the only person we can control is our self.  Today, make sure that your ready for the day you take your last breath so the first person you see on the other side is Jesus saying, "Welcome Home."

Daniel Robison's Input on Today's Devotion

Sometimes we get frustrated with where we are at in our careers and were God has us.  We pray for a new position or something that will pay more or we will enjoy more.  Little do we know God's plan in our life and why we are working where we are working at the present time.  Maybe God is having you work there to be a witness to someone else that needs direction.  Maybe he's waiting for the right position to open up so that you will be doing his will where he wants you.  And maybe, just maybe, he's cultivating our patience.

Whatever the reason remember that God has you in your current circumstances for a reason.  Pray, today, for direction and guidance that God will show you why you are at your current job and what direction he will have you go.  He's there for you and will be your comforter though out your current situation and remember, he plans for you to prosper on this earth and in heaven.  So be patient and wait on God today.
