Diligence: November 16, 2012
TODAY’S WORD FOR FRIDAY NOVEMBER 16, 2012.
DILIGENCE
DEFINITION:
Hardworking; persevering; dutiful; earnest.
SCRIPTURE:
Ants are creatures of little strength, yet they store up their food in the summer. Proverbs 30:25.
Go to the ant, O sluggard, observe her ways and be wise. Proverbs 6:6.
KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE:
Ants seem like a small and significant creature yet in the two verses we have put above ants are held up by King Solomon as an example of industry for those who tend to be lazy. King Solomon suggests that we would be wise to consider the ways of the ant. Ants have no captain but on their own gather their food in the summer and they store it up for the fall harvest. They are constantly working to find food and bring it back to their nest. The ant prepares for the time when food may be scarce.
The ant is an example of industry, diligence and planning. The ant serves as a rebuke to a sluggard, a lazy person who lacks self discipline. King Solomon is warning people against laziness. Laziness keeps us from our responsibilities to provide for ourselves and this is not acceptable to God.
It is apparent that King Solomon was a keen observer of God’s creations and of human behavior. From the ant we can see the importance of planning ahead and laying away provisions for the future (Proverbs 30:25).
King Solomon has passed on to us his insights and guidelines for living not only a productive life but a God-honoring life. The lazy person ducks responsibility and procrastinates planning for the future. As a result the lazy person wastes both opportunities and gifts that God has to him.
LEARNING:
Our memory verse for this week is found in Matthew 6:33.
But seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
PRAYER:
Help me to be wise and learn from Your marvelous creations valuable life-style lessons. Thank You that Your Word is truth and that the truth of Your Word makes me wise.

Doers: November 15, 2012
TODAY’S WORD FOR THURSDAY NOVEMBER 15, 2012.
DOERS
DEFINITION:
One who does something; one who accomplishes a great deal.
SCRIPTURE:
Be doers of the Word and not hearers only. James1:22.
KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE:
The book of James is an instruction book on Christian living and putting our faith in action. James instructs us to do more than just hear what God says in His Word. He says be a doer of the Word (James 1:22). Faith that is real will result in good deeds. If we merely read God’s Word and do not obey it, it serves no purpose. God has gifted each of us with different abilities and He desires that we use them to further His kingdom
All of us in our homes, our churches, our neighborhoods and our workplaces have seen what we may call doers. When something needs to be done, they are the first to roll up their sleeves and work at it until the job is accomplished. In contrast there are those who are content to sit on their hands and wait to see if someone else will do it.
We can remember in many of our ministry programs people that always showed up and volunteered when we had a need. We can remember the need before Christmas to wrap several thousand Christmas gifts for inner city children. These children were the poorest of the poor and most would not even have one gift for Christmas. We wanted these children to have a gift. Year after year when we asked for help, many of the same people would return to help. They were the doers and they could be counted on.
It was important for us to train our children to be doers. It made them better people and taught them to respond when someone had a need. We wanted them to see that serving others was putting their faith in action. But the best reward for us is listening to a person share how it blessed their heart to help. Those that are the “doers” in blessing others are the ones that receive the greater blessing.
The world is a better world because of the doers of this world. Are you one of the doers of this world by always being ready to pitch in, to be involved, and even lead if necessary? These are the followers of Jesus who have taken the challenge of James to heart: “Be doers of the Word, and not hearers only.”
Are you doing all that God wants you to do to further the good news of the gospel? What you do spiritually for the Lord will give you the crown God has for you in heaven. Start now by reading God’s Word daily and then put into practice what you learned in your reading. You need to first --- hear, and then --- do.
LEARNING:
Our memory verse for this week is found in Matthew 6:33.
But seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
PRAYER:
Help me to be a doer of Your Word today. Help me to learn each day as I read the scripture what you want me to accomplish for Your names sake. May others see in me a caring and tender heart willing to reach out at all times to help one in need.

Stress: November 14, 2012
TODAY’S WORD FOR WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 14, 2012.
STRESS
DEFINITION:
A strain, mental pressure, anxiety.
SCRIPTURE:
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28.
KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE:
We live in a stressful world and it is fair to say that we all have stress in our lives. Stress is a serious problem to many individuals and families today. Stress can come from so many sources like our jobs, our family relationships, our health, our friends, our enemies, just to name a few. Thousands of people have recently been put under dire stress as a result of the ferocious storm that devastated the north eastern states of the United States. Many people have lost everything. It would be impossible for these suffering people not to feel stress.
The opposite of stress is peace and a sense of well being. How can we find peace when we seem to be overwhelmed with stress? God knows all about us, so He knows all about the stresses in our life and He wants us to turn to Him when the going gets tough.
In Matthew 11:28, Jesus invites us to come to Him saying, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest.” He is saying to us that He will give us rest from our stress if we will trust Him and not try to rely on our own strength and abilities.
The promise is given to us in Psalm 29:11 that “The Lord gives strength to His people (those who have their faith in Him) and blesses them with His peace.” There can be no more powerful source of strength available to handle our stress than God almighty who is all powerful and the creator of all things.
Isaiah describes the peace that comes from God as perfect. Isaiah 26:3. “God will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast because he trusts in God.”
Paul experienced stress in his life like very few others have. In Philippians 4:4-7 he tells us how he coped with stress and anguish in his life. He said to “Rejoice in the Lord always, I will say it again, REJOICE. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
In times of stress Paul recommends that we rejoice. No matter how much stress we are suffering, if we know the Lord we have reason to rejoice. Then he tells us to stop worrying and turn our worries into prayers and ask God to help us with the situations that are causing our stress.
When we are really willing to turn our problems over to God, we will receive a peace that only God can give and that is beyond our own understanding.
LEARNING:
Our memory verse for this week is found in Matthew 6:33.
But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
PRAYER:
Help me to rejoice because I have You in my life. It is my prayer today that You would eliminate stress from my life and give me your peace. Help me to always put my trust in You to help me with the stress and frustrations in my life.

Stewards: November 13, 2012
TODAY’S WORD FOR TUESDAY NOVEMBER 13, 2012.
STEWARDS
DEFINITION:
A manager or trustee; a chief servant; guard; conserve.
SCRIPTURE:
“As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.” I Peter 4:10.
“Let a man so consider us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.” I Corinthians 4:1.
KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE:
As far back as we can remember our parents trained both of us to be good stewards of our time, our talents and our material possessions. Thankfully, because of this training and the example they were to us, we have strived to be good stewards.
One thing we have learned and passed on to our children is the importance of being a steward of the finances God has given us. We give our 10% tithe back to God plus over and above offerings. Our tithe already belongs to God. An offering is what is given over and above a tithe.
In Malachi 3:8-12 Malachi had to rebuke God’s people because they were not honoring God and were not giving their tithes and offerings. He tells them that they are robbing God when they withhold their tithes and offerings. He also tells them God will bless them if they bring their tithes and offerings to the Lord. Malachi challenges them to test God and see if it is not so. We have tested God concerning the giving of our tithes and offerings over and over again. It is amazing to see how God blesses us when we are faithful in giving our tithes and offerings.
God has always supplied our every need. And, you should know that there have been numerous times that we just did not know how we were going to meet our commitments, but we gave in spite of this concern. We can assure you that God honors this financial stewardship.
The second area of stewardship is the talents that God has given us. One of the saddest things in life is seeing a person just loaded with talent who lets that talent go to waste. Even worse are those people loaded with talent and abilities who use these for evil purposes. We have learned through the years that God has given us different talents, and He has done this for a reason. We have learned to merge our talents together and Dottie does what she does best and Ken does what he does best. Then together we have seen God do so much more through us than what either one of us could do individually. Whatever our talents might be we are to be good stewards and use them to minister to one another. (I Peter 4:10)
The third area of stewardship is our time. God expects us to give of our time to others. We have learned that nothing is more important in our lives, except for our relationship with God than to give time to our children and now our grandchildren. Time given to our children should be a time for bonding, listening, guiding, teaching and learning. God also expects us to give time regularly for building our relationships with our spouses, our extended families, our neighbors and the world we live in. Most people today spend there time on themselves. They watch TV; read the paper, magazines and books; play games on the computer or get on the internet for hours. This is not what God wants from you. He wants you to be a good steward of your time and invest it in people through your family, your church, your workplace, your neighborhood or through a mission project to a needy and hurting world.
In Luke 12:42 Jesus tells a parable about the good and bad stewards and that each one was rewarded according to his faithfulness and obedience. How good a steward we are of what God has given to us will determine our heavenly rewards. A good steward will work diligently and be obedient to his master’s commands. If our gifts and talents are limited, God does not hold us responsible for over and above what He has given us. We are responsible and rewarded for the stewardship of the gifts He has given us.
We learn through this study that we need to be faithful to God as to how we use the talents, time and material blessings that God has given to us. What kind of a steward are you?
LEARNING:
Our memory verse for this week is found in Matthew 6:33.
But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
PRAYER:
Thank You for the talent, material blessings and time that You have entrusted to me. Give me a new direction in order for me to be the steward You want me to be each and every day. Help me to invest my time and my talent wisely to benefit my God, my family and others. Help me to use what I have to bring honor and glory to Your name.

Ascension: November 12, 2012
TODAY’S WORD FOR MONDAY NOVEMBER 12, 2012.
ASCENSION
DEFINITION:
The bodily ascension of Christ from earth to heaven.
SCRIPTURE:
He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things. Ephesians 4:10.
KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE:
There are two significant events in the life of Jesus while He was here on this earth that is unique to Him and to Him alone. The first is the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. The second is Jesus ascension into heaven. There are eye witness accounts that testify to the reality of these two events.
After the resurrection of Jesus He remained on earth for 40 days to give proof that He had risen and that He was still alive. In Mark 16 we are told that three women (Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Salome) came to the tomb of Jesus and found it empty. And in Matthew 28 we are told that two women (Mary Magdalene and the mother of James) came to the tomb and in John 20 we read of Mary Magdalene coming to the empty tomb and after talking to the two angels turned around and saw Jesus standing in front of her.
Over the forty days after His resurrection Jesus appeared to the disciples many times and also appeared to many others. In I Corinthians 15 Paul tells us, He was seen by over 500 at one time, probably when He went back to Galilee. Yes, we can be assured that Jesus is not in the tomb but He is alive and we serve a risen Savior. During those 40 days Jesus gave many convincing proofs that He was alive (Acts 1:3). He continued to meet with his disciples to instruct them and reassure them. He even ate with them. (Acts 1:4) Jesus was very much alive.
Forty days after the resurrection of Jesus He ascended into heaven. Jesus’ ascension was witnessed by the disciples. In Acts 1:9 it says, “He was taken up before their very eyes and a cloud hid Him from them.” Jesus ascension into the sky removes any doubt that He was God and that He had come down from heaven.
The scripture above from Ephesians reminds us that He who ascended into heaven is the same One that descended to this earth. This is a portrayal of Jesus being not only our deliverer but now our Mediator. Jesus is in Heaven not only preparing for us as believers a place to spend eternity with Him (John 14:1-6) but He is our Mediator between God and us.
What a day it will also be for us as believers when Jesus comes to take us to be with Him. We too will be resurrected and join our Lord and Savior in the air. Then we will begin our eternity with Him.
LEARNING:
Our memory verse for this week is found in Matthew 6:33.
But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
PRAYER:
We thank You for Your death, resurrection and ascension back to Your home in Heaven. Thank You for being my mediator between God and me. I thank You that because of Your death, resurrection, and ascension back to heaven, I will be spending eternity with You.
