Michael Harrison's e-devotion

  What are the things in this life that satisfy you the most?  It might be a person or relationship, a thing or a situation, or one or many things.  Yet for the Christ follower, the best and most important is God Himself. We were made for relationships.  Go back to the beginning of time when God created the world and Adam.  Genesis describes for us all that scene, and there are two things that stick out that humankind, you and me, desperately need. We need God and need not to be alone.  On the human side God created Eve after he created Adam so that man would not be alone.  Adam also was made for a relationship with God.  That is the deepest relationship.  It is a the level of the soul. Yesterday I shared from Psalm 103 where David said that he worshipped and blessed God from deep in His soul.  It is in the soul where our deepest longings are found.  Listen what David said satisfies Him. Psalm 63:1  NLT   O God, you are my...

Our great, gracious and almighty God desires to feed us His word.   The scriptures are for our good, for us to feed on Spiritually.   That is how we take a new look.   What are you eating spiritually? What we consume says a lot about us.   What we consume in every area of life says a lot about us.   It is time to ingest and begin to digest the word God has blessed us with. Let’s take a look at the Bible and what God has for us… Ezekiel 3:1-4   NLT The voice said to me, “Son of man, eat what I am giving you—eat this scroll! Then go and give its message to the people of Israel.”  2  So I opened my mouth, and he fed me the scroll.  3  “Fill your stomach with this,” he said. And when I ate it, it tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth. 4  Then he said, “Son of man, go to the people of Israel and give them my messages.  These verses might be from a new portion of the Bible, but they are not new.   The concep...

Matthew 5:6   NASB “Blessed are those who   hunger   and   thirst   for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. The things in this life that satisfy us are as different as we are.   In fact, if we are honest, the things that used to satisfy us most likely don’t give us the pleasure that they used to.   The older I get the less material things mean and the more people matter! Let’s dive in to the heart of God.   He knows our hearts very well. Romans 8:27   NASB and He who searches the hearts knows   what   the   mind   of   the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to   the will   of   God . If we really wanted to know the mind of God, we would seek Him.   He knows our hearts and our minds.   God will impact more of our minds and hearts the more we allow Him to fill us and speak to us. Jesus was different.   We know that.   Notice in...
