Michael Harrison's e-devotion

Outcomes are always something I am thinking about.  But you know the “cause and aeffect” thinking some times goes a little further than I think or understand.  I am talking about in the scientific world or physics and stuff I just don’t understand.   Here is something I do understand and continue to learn… Proverbs 26:27  NASB   One who digs a pit will fall into it, And one who rolls a stone, it will come back on him. That is a very simple cause and effect.  The outcome is based on what you do and why you do it.  Is God involved?  Yes, He is.   That is why we have to learn from God (like listening to the Holy Spirit and reading the Bible).  Often Proverbs is the wisdom I need for a particular situation or thought.  God and wise people help us understand things. Lean on those who know.  Do what is right always. I turn our attention today to a “cause and effect” that sticks in my mind.  I have shared these verses many times ...

As you read these verses today I pray you will interact with God and His word.   May the truth sink in and transform you as it is me… Psalms 19:7-14   ESV The law of the  ...

Sometimes we need reminders.   Today is a reminder.   Listen in as you read further. Psalm 19:1-11   NKJV The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork.   Day unto day utters speech, And night unto night reveals knowledge.   There is   no speech nor language Where   their voice is not heard.   Their line   has gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world.   In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun, Which   is   like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, And   rejoices like a strong man to run its race.   Its rising   is   from one end of heaven, And its circuit to the other end; And there is nothing hidden from its heat.   The law of the   Lord   is   perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the   Lord   is   sure, making wise the simple;   The statutes of the   Lord  ...
