what do we do without God // Thursday E-Devotion

Proverbs 24:5-6 (nlt) --- The wise are mightier than the strong, and those with knowledge grow stronger and stronger. So don't go to war without wise guidance; victory depends on having many advisers.

May be a strange question for you, but it really is not. What do we do without God? I am not talking about the time you were not a Christian, but I am talking about the fact that in living we choose far too often to leave God out of what we do.

I have noticed, especially this week, that putting God in the mix makes the mix so much sweeter. The blessings are better. Even my surroundings improve. Give God a try on this.

Think about it. What do we do without God?

Just a thought as I close, is doing something with God a sin?

Colossians 3:17 (nasb) --- Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father .

And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts. We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things. It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share. For me C.S. Lewis is one of those. He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class. It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before. He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born. It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian. He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
