The Holy Bible: The Good news Translation (2nd ed., 2 Sa 22:21–25).

²¹ Lord rewards me because I do what is right;

he blesses me because I am innocent.

²² I have obeyed the law of the Lord;

I have not turned away from my God.

²³ I have observed all his laws;

I have not disobeyed his commands.

²⁴ He knows that I am faultless,

that I have kept myself from doing wrong.

²⁵ And so he rewards me because I do what is right,

because he knows that I am innocent.

 

 

Thoughts:

In verses 21 thru 24 David took a bold step in presenting himself as one who: 1). Does Right; 2). Obeyed the law of the Lord and not turned away from Him; 3). Observed all of the laws of the Lord and His commands; and then went on to add that he knows that God will find him faultless. Could you ever imagine anyone being so bold as to say those things before a holy and perfect God? Wow, I hope that one day I could feel so convinced that my walk had been so much on target. This has caused me to reflect back on David’s life, and I recall that in spite of his sins told in scripture, there are so many cases where David would not make a decision until he consulted with God. Then there were no apologies for what he asked his people to do, because he knew where the instructions came from, and he knew there was no choice but to obey. Isn’t it funny how we tend to waiver and doubt so much, especially when we have added our two cents in and diluted the truth of God with our views? Now let’s look at verse 25, David was able to confirm that he had been rewarded because of all the things he bragged about in verses 21 thru 24! That’s exciting, because often here on this earth we follow God’s commands and make sure that others follow the plan, but we never hear the accolades. Praise be to God, it is for Him that we are obedient, not for the world. Anytime we flip the purpose to do what the world wants, we are not following God’s plan. “Well done, good and faithful servant” are the words that we long to hear when He calls us home to glory! What a day that will be!

 

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, thank You for providing Your book of instructions and for planting into our hearts the desire to study Your Word and allow it to saturate our lives. As it becomes a part of our lives, I pray that You will empower us to live it and be obedient to what You would say to us through it. Thank You for tugging on our hearts and directing us each day, so that the world might see Jesus in and through us. Lord, You are awesome and so worthy of our praise! Thank You for allowing me to be a child of the King. Thank You for making the provision through sending (sacrificing) Your Son as a substitute for my sin!

Scripture: 2 Samuel 22.  

OBSERVATION
(Key verses)

2 Samuel 22:1 (GNT)

When the LORD saved David from Saul and his other enemies, David sang this song to the LORD:

APPLICATION
(How Can I apply what God is saying here to my life today?)

God blesses us each and every day with more things than we can enumerate in one setting, but what do we say or do in return? I am most upset when a rude child snatches something from me without ever saying “thank you”. David went on for a whole Psalm (chapter) praising God for watching over him and protecting him. Recently I have seen so many wrecks in our area, some ending in death to at least one of the parties. Regrettably this has not prompted me to give God thanks for watching over and protecting me every day that I travel 18 miles to work. School personnel, there have been many incidents in the school system, obviously you were kept safe if you are reading this devotional. Did you remember to thank God for protecting you? Airport personnel, same example as for the schools. Friends, our God loves us and He loves us enough that He would die for us. Through His son Jesus, He actually did that for you and I! To take advantage of that special offer for salvation from our sins, we must accept the gift given to us. Please speak with a local Bible teaching clergy for direction and help in making this important decision to accept Jesus’ gift, or contact me using the email below, as I would be thrilled to pray with you and give you direction. This decision is the key to living life eternally with my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Life much better than anything experienced here on this earth. Consider making this important decision today, while you are able to, friend!

PRAYER
(What I will ask of God, in order for me to properly apply His Word to my life)

Lord, please forgive me for being so ungrateful at times. Please help me to be so focused on You that praising You will be on my lips at all times. Please help me to stay focused on the many things that You do for, and provide for, me to enjoy each and every day. With praise in my heart, and praise on my lips, I am convinced that I can overcome anything that may tend to set me back. Please help me to also affect my Brothers and Sisters who may otherwise lose out on these opportunities to praise You. Lord, You are worthy, and worthy of our praise, each and every day. May we be found guilty of always praising the name of Jesus in all things.

Scripture: John 12.  

OBSERVATION
(Key verses)

John 12:17-19 (NLT)

17 Many in the crowd had seen Jesus call Lazarus from the tomb, raising him from the dead, and they were telling others about it.

18
That was the reason so many went out to meet him—because they had heard about this miraculous sign.

19 Then the Pharisees said to each other, “There’s nothing we can do. Look, everyone has gone after him!”

APPLICATION
(How Can I apply what God is saying here to my life today?)

It seems harder and harder trying to reach the unsaved these days. I bet this was no different in Bible days. In this passage this morning though, we see where there were crowds who flocked to be in the presence of Jesus. Since we have difficulty trying to get our family and friends to attend church, I wanted us to look in on what attracted this crowd. Verse 18 says that it was because of all that the people heard was going on in the Jesus crowd. So this made me ask myself, what does my friends hear from me about what is going on in my church? Ask yourself the same question Christian brother/sister. Do our friends that we are trying to witness to, hear enough out of us to make them want to attend church? Or do you suppose that they are even more turned off from church than they were before hearing from us? Friends, we need to talk about the prayers that were answered; about the wonderful Word of God that was expounded from the pulpit or Sunday School teacher; about the sweet relationship that we develop with fellow brothers and sisters; about the miracles God is blessing us with; about the friend/visitor who came to know our Lord at our last service. In the Bible passage, the crowds gathered because of what they had heard! Can your church be full this weekend because of what others have heard from you? Verse 19 reminds me of what Satan does when he’s losing the battle with Christians/children of God, I believe that he must really pout and mutter about how there is just nothing he could do about it!! Praise be to our God and Father and to the Son, Jesus the Christ, for He alone is worthy of our praise!

PRAYER
(What I will ask of God, in order for me to properly apply His Word to my life)

Jesus, we have commercialized church so much, with so many programs and so many marketing techniques, that we can’t help but wonder where you fit into the whole idea of YOU calling the lost unto yourself. Thank you for the reminder from Your Word this morning, that the lost will come when they are convinced that the saved are indeed saved, and that there is joy, purpose and personal benefit in attending church on a regular basis. Thank You for the joy of knowing You, and the joy of hearing Your voice through Your Word and through the spoken word at church. May we live according to Your instructions and may we share at every opportunity, the ways that You are blessing us individually and collectively as our respective churches. Lord, You are good and Your mercies lasts forever!

Scripture: 2 Samuel 12.  

OBSERVATION
(Key verses)

2 Samuel 12:7-9 (LEB)

7 Then Nathan said to him, “You are the man! Thus says Yahweh the God of Israel: ‘I anointed you as king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul. 8 I gave you the household of your master and the women of your master into your lap. I also gave you the house of Israel and Judah; if that had been too little, I would have added to you ⌊much more⌋. 9 Why have you despised the word of Yahweh by doing evil in his eyes?

APPLICATION
(How Can I apply what God is saying here to my life today?)

Nathan had just delivered a message to David from God, in order to show him the evil of his ways for what he did to Uriah (had him killed in battle so that he, David, could steal his wife). David lashed out against the man in the story illustrated by Nathan, because it was easy to see that man’s fault. Nathan then brought the parallel together for David in verse 7 by telling him that he is the man in the story. Quite a challenge for Nathan to be bold enough to approach David (the king) with such bluntness, but he was being obedient to what God asked him to do. Friends, let us take heart from this story, and be very transparent before our God, knowing that we ourselves have sinned and that we are the ones in need of prayer as much, or worse than, the person we are taking before God to straighten out. Let’s clean up our own act before we approach the throne with stones for another person. The beauty of this story is that we need to be like David and humble ourselves when necessary. David, being the king, could have ordered the death of Nathan for speaking to him in such a way, but instead he humbled himself before God and sought His forgiveness. Several lessons we could learn from this, friends.

PRAYER
(What I will ask of God, in order for me to properly apply His Word to my life)

Lord Jesus, You especially know how imperfect man is, and You also know how difficult it is for us to admit our own sin and seek forgiveness. Please humble Your servant today. Please humble the hearts of each one that may read this devotional today. We want to be more like You every day, and we want to be ready to humble ourselves and be worthy in Your eyes every day. Help us Lord to be like David, and freely open our hearts to the truth from Your Word and from Your saints that may challenge us with our wrongdoing. In order to best represent You in this wicked world, we absolutely cannot be hypocritical, but we need Your strength and Your boldness to overcome our own personal feelings and weaknesses so that we may be like You in every way. Please bless us with humility this day, is my humble prayer oh Lord!

Scripture: John 11.  

OBSERVATION
(Key verses)

John 11:3-4 (NLT)

3 So the two sisters sent a message to Jesus telling him, “Lord, your dear friend is very sick.”

4 But when Jesus heard about it he said, “Lazarus’s sickness will not end in death. No, it happened for the glory of God so that the Son of God will receive glory from this.”
John 11:14-15 (NLT)

14 So he told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead.

15 And for your sakes, I’m glad I wasn’t there, for now you will really believe. Come, let’s go see him.”

43 Then Jesus shouted, “Lazarus, come out!”

44 And the dead man came out, his hands and feet bound in graveclothes, his face wrapped in a headcloth. Jesus told them, “Unwrap him and let him go!”

45
Many of the people who were with Mary believed in Jesus when they saw this happen.

APPLICATION
(How Can I apply what God is saying here to my life today?)

As humans we tend to beat up on ourselves pretty bad when awful things happen to us or those very close to us, for we look inward to find what we must have done to cause such a thing to happen. Alternatively, we tend to take God’s place, and look at the person’s life and look at all the bad things they may have done, until we could finally pinpoint the reason why the demons must have come upon him/her and caused such grief. I wonder how many of us will take note of the scripture shown above and follow the example given by Jesus? I have bolded portions of the verses that stood out to me, and encouraged me to always take another view at bad things that happen to us. Nothing in the verses indicate any advantage to us personally. Rather, glory came to the Father because of the stronger belief by the disciples. Secondly, even the visitors who came to encourage Mary and Martha surrendered their lives to the Lord, for verse 45 says that they believed in Jesus. Will we always be comforted by the good things that came out of loss, our sickness or our disaster? Not always, because when folk come to know the Lord, this brings glory to the Father. If we happen to hear about it, then praise the Lord and rejoice over the new found salvation. More than this friend, we just have to trust God that His perfect will might be accomplished through all aspects of our life, good and bad.

PRAYER
(What I will ask of God, in order for me to properly apply His Word to my life)

Lord Jesus, You designed and made us, so You are more than aware of our intricate minds and emotions. Please make us more like You each and every day, so that we may become more than conquerors, even in the tough times of our lives. For often it is then that others look at how we handle those times and recognize who is at the wheel, and who motivates and drives us. Oh that the people may see Jesus in every fiber of our lives, not just at church or Christian gatherings, but even in the most challenging times of our lives. May we fill our selves so much with Jesus and Your love, that even in the bad times, Your words, and Your actions might come out of us. Thank You for Your Word and Your power in my life. I have not attained perfection, so please continue to work in and through me. Also, please help my friends that may read this devotional today to be inspired by Your Word and live their lives in concert with all that is taught to us in Your Word. All this for Your total glory oh Lord, amen!

Scripture: John 10.  

OBSERVATION
(Key verses)

John 10:27-29 (NLT)

27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.

28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them away from me,

29 for my Father has given them to me, and he is more powerful than anyone else. No one can snatch them from the Father’s hand.

APPLICATION
(How Can I apply what God is saying here to my life today?)

There are certain things that we do in life that help to identify us. For example, I have a nephew that loves to hunt and fish and is showing signs of entrepreneurship even at a young age. Someone might recognize those traits and identify him with his dad, because he portrays the same traits exactly. Jesus said in verse 27 that His sheep (those who have accepted Jesus as Lord, and committed their life to Him):

1. Listens to His voice – we know our kids are listening when they obey what we are telling them. Similarly, from our actions in obedience to God’s Word, we show the world to whom we belong, and we please God by showing evidence of our belonging to Him.
   
2. Follows Him – the only other alternative is to follow the world. Which one are you following friend?
   

What does the world see about your obedience to God Word? Can the world recognize whose you are? Is it evident? If we have sincerely given the lordship of our lives to Jesus and we follow Him only, then verses 28 and 29 are filled with fringe benefits promised by Jesus! Let’s latch on to those promises and be encouraged today to follow our Master even more obediently, so that those around us will see and want to know our Lord.

PRAYER
(What I will ask of God, in order for me to properly apply His Word to my life)

Thank You Lord Jesus for providing the way for our salvation and subsequently, our eternal life with You in glory. When we accepted You as Lord, all things became new and we committed ourselves to show evidence of being Your child, rather than the sinful nature of this world. Unfortunately, we often fail at this Father, but I pray that I and Your people will recommit ourselves to our relationship with You, and that we might show more evidence to this wicked world about whose we are. As Your children, we should be acting just like You – speaking like You; hearing like You; doing good like You; loving others like You and having enough concern about their eternal destination that we would be burdened about the condition of their souls. Please show us Your power as You awaken us and give us our marching orders in the battle to win America for You!

Scripture: 2 Samuel 7.  

OBSERVATION
(Key verses)

2 Samuel 7:18 (NLT)

18 Then King David went in and sat before the LORD and prayed, “Who am I, O Sovereign LORD, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far?

APPLICATION
(How Can I apply what God is saying here to my life today?)

Many times we go through our day and never analyze the things we did, the words we spoke, the many things we allowed to enter our soul through our eyes and through our thoughts and ears, yet we can reflect and see the many ways that God has laid His hand upon us and blessed us:

• He sent His Son as a sacrifice that we may have life everlasting with Him in heaven!
  
• He kept us safe on the highways – when often we will pass accidents that have occurred;
  
• He gave us our jobs (that we often grumble and complain about) – when we see so much unemployment and the effects from it;
  
• He kept us in good health – when we see so many in hospitals, or even losing their jobs because of poor health;
  
• He placed us around people so that we might share His love – while many are dying from loneliness and depression;
  
• He blessed us with family and friends as our support network – while many go home to a lonely place with no one to share the joys and challenges of their day with;
  
• He blessed us with a body of believers (the church) so that we may be enriched and, in turn, be a blessing to others – while many Christians throughout the world would be shot or terrible mistreated if it was known by the authorities that they did such a thing.
  

Friends, when we stop and think about all of the above, and lots more, we can easily pray as David did, who am I to deserve such special treatment. But friend, I want you to know that royalty is often treated supremely, and we are indeed children of the King – My God is King of all kings, maker of this universe and ruler of this entire world! Yes, that’s my Father; my King and my Lord! That’s Why We Praise Him today friend! And He can be yours today also! Please ask your pastor how to accept Him, or write to me at the email address below and I will gladly pray with you and guide you into the path of salvation

PRAYER
(What I will ask of God, in order for me to properly apply His Word to my life)

Lord Jesus, thank You for Your love, Your sacrifice and for all You do for me each day. I love You Lord, and I life My Voice in praise to You. Thank You! Please soften the hearts of my friends that may read this devotional today, or that may simply need You today. Lord You are good and Your mercies endure forever! Thank You!

Scripture: John 9.  

OBSERVATION
(Key verses)

John 9:28-33 (NLT)

28 Then they cursed him and said, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses!

29 We know God spoke to Moses, but we don’t even know where this man comes from.”

30 “Why, that’s very strange!” the man replied. “He healed my eyes, and yet you don’t know where he comes from?

31
We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but he is ready to hear those who worship him and do his will.

32 Ever since the world began, no one has been able to open the eyes of someone born blind.

33 If this man were not from God, he couldn’t have done it.”

APPLICATION
(How Can I apply what God is saying here to my life today?)

What is the condition of your spiritual life today friend? Do you and God have a relationship? In other words, have you accepted Jesus as your personal Savior, and committed your life to Him? If not, should He listen to you when you call on Him? Friend, I believe that God’s Holy Word is 100% accurate, so I believe that what the man in this story spoke to the Pharisees in verse 31 is 100% accurate. You see, God will listen and forgive a sinner when they come to Him in humility and surrender their lives to Him, asking for forgiveness of their sin. The beauty of having this relationship is that You not only have obeyed the Bible, but you also are protected in the arms of the Almighty God, and you then also earn the ear of our loving Savior who will answer your prayer and comfort you and give you strength through good and bad times. Unfortunately, my God is not a God of convenience where He’s available in your time of trouble, but cursed the rest of your life. Why not decide today who you will serve friend? It’s either God or Satan, no other. I made my choice some 38 years ago, and I would recommend to you today that this is the only viable choice for humans. Why not make your choice today friend?

PRAYER
(What I will ask of God, in order for me to properly apply His Word to my life)

Lord Jesus, I have family and friends who are still flirting with You, and have not made the decision to accept You as Lord. Because of my relationship with You, and my relationship with them, I want to apologize to You this morning, because I have obviously not been a good witness to them of the Savior that I adore. Please forgive me. I pray that You may impact my life in such a way that it would be very obvious to those around me that I am Your child. I want this to be of no credit to myself, but for the sole purpose of them wanting to know the Lord of which I referred to in this devotional this morning. Please soften the hearts of my family and friends again dear Lord, and create a right spirit within them to yearn for You and Your precious love for them. Thank You for being my Lord, my Savior and my King!

Scripture: John 8.  

OBSERVATION
(Key verses)

John 8:43-45 (NLT)

43 Why can’t you understand what I am saying? It’s because you can’t even hear me!

44 For you are the children of your father the devil, and you love to do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from the beginning. He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies.

45 So when I tell the truth, you just naturally don’t believe me!

47 Anyone who belongs to God listens gladly to the words of God. But you don’t listen because you don’t belong to God.”

APPLICATION
(How Can I apply what God is saying here to my life today?)

What comes most natural to you in a situation that you dislike? Do you lash out against the individual, threaten them, accuse them, show hatred towards them? Or do you, from a heart of love (a heart filled with the character of Jesus), reach out to the individual and show them the character of Christ? Yes, I know that our sin-nature boils up in us and creates a character that is not pleasing to God, but friend, when we fill our hearts daily with the Word of God, we not only teach ourselves the ways of God, but we also learn on whom to lean when we face challenging situations like this. Jesus showed us the way to live and to act. In verse 47 we are reminded by Jesus himself that if we belong to God (if we have accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior) then we would gladly listen to the words of God. If we listen to the words of God, then we are showing that we belong to Him and are willing to obey Him in all things. So who do you listen to friend? Challenge yourself at the end of each day: based on the decisions you made, the words you said and the actions you took, and ask yourself if God was glorified in everything, then talk it over with God. Align your actions with the Word of God and talk to Him about the areas of your character where you especially need help from Him to correct. Be intentional about proving to whom you belong, don’t let another individual or situation control that.

PRAYER
(What I will ask of God, in order for me to properly apply His Word to my life)

Father, thank You for providing a means for me to know You personally, and for giving me the assurance of eternal life with You. Thank you for Your Son Jesus and the love and direction He gives to me each day. Lord Jesus, I need a fresh filling of Your Holy Spirit each and every day, because I become tainted by this world every day, and there seems to be new challenges each day. Thank You for the confidence that You give me in Your Word that You are with me every day, and that I can cast my cares upon You. Thank You for Your love and provision for me. Please help me today to imitate You in everything that I do and say, so that others may realize who my Master is, and that this may cause them to praise You more. Please forgive me for times where I have failed in being that shining example of Your love.

Scripture: John 6.  

OBSERVATION
(Key verses)

John 6:29 (NLT)

29 Jesus told them, “This is the only work God wants from you: Believe in the one he has sent.”

APPLICATION
(How Can I apply what God is saying here to my life today?)

Many sincere seekers for God are puzzled about what he wants them to do. The religions of the world are people’s attempts to answer this question. But Jesus’ reply is brief and simple: We must believe on him whom God has sent. Satisfying God does not come from the work we do, but from whom we believe. The first step involves accepting that Jesus is who he claims to be. All spiritual hope is built on this premise. Then, declare to Jesus, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God” (Matthew 16:16), and embark on a life of belief that is satisfying to your Creator. I believe that we are such a people of works, because that’s how we receive our rewards here on earth. Think about it, we go to work every day and we are rewarded by our pay, and sometimes by praise. We do things around the home with hopes that our spouse or children will notice and praise us for it. The only expectation from God to prove our faith in Him is that we believe, and continue to believe that Jesus is the Son of God and that He has the power and will to save us from our sins and give us eternal life filled with the presence of the Almighty God. For those who have not accepted Jesus as Lord of their life yet, please realize that God is waiting to answer your prayers and requests to Him. Believe on Him today and you will be saved, then your ‘Father’ will hear your prayers and answer you. Not sure how to do this? Try contacting your Bible Teaching Pastor, or feel free to drop me a note using the email address at the end and I will gladly pray with you and help direct you.

PRAYER
(What I will ask of God, in order for me to properly apply His Word to my life)

Father we have complicated so much of what you simplified for us in Your Word. Please help us to stay in Your Word so that we could be reminded of the simplicity of Your Word and obey it. Many times religions of this world have added so many conditions to the simple act of accepting You as our Lord and Savior. Please help us to always go to the Book when we need answers. Thank You for the simplicity of the Gospel! Lord, I believe, and I pray that all that may read this devotional may make this a day of decision for themselves as they simply believe in You and surrender their lives to Your powerful and wonderful will for their lives.
