Daily Devotional “Pursuing Truthfulness”

Daily Devotional “Pursuing Truthfulness”
Be different!
September 14, 2023

“Stand firm therefore, having girded your loins with truth” (Ephesians. 6:14).

Truthfulness is the best defense against Satan’s lies.

The first piece of armor Paul mentions in Ephesians 6:14 is the belt of truth.

Roman soldiers of his day wore a tunic, which was a large square piece of material with holes for the head and arms.

A belt kept the tunic from flying loosely and getting in the way in the midst of battle.

The phrase “having girded your loins” was commonly used for gathering up the loose material of one’s tunic or robe when preparing for battle or travel.

It speaks of preparedness, as in Exodus 12:11, where God tells the children of Israel to gird their loins for their exodus from Egypt.

Jesus used it in a figurative sense in Luke 12:35, where He warns us to gird our loins or “be dressed in readiness” for His second coming.

Peter said we’re to gird our minds for action (1 Peter. 1:13).

The Greek word translated “truth” in Ephesians 6:14 can refer either to the content of that which is true or to an attitude of truthfulness.

Both are implied in the verse. In Ephesians 4 Paul combines both aspects in warning us not to be “tossed here and there by waves, and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming” (vv. 14-15).

Instead, we are to embrace sound doctrine and always speak the truth in love.

The way to defend yourself against the cunning deceptions of Satan is to gird yourself with a thorough knowledge of God’s Word and a firm commitment to obedience.

Yet many Christians remain vulnerable because they’re unwilling to do that.

Just as Paul exhorted the Philippians to excel in knowledge and discernment and to remain sincere and blameless until in Christ’s presence (Philippians. 1:9-10), so you must also do the same.

Never be content with your present level of spirituality. Keep learning and growing.

Demonstrate an attitude of truthfulness that reveals your commitment to God’s Word and your readiness for battle.

Prayer

Is your life characterized by truthfulness? If not, you’re a ready target for Satan’s schemes. Confess it to the Lord and ask Him to cleanse your heart and give you a love for His truth. Begin today to apply His Word to your life.

Further Reading

Read verses 1-4 and 13-15 of 2 Corinthians 11, noting the tactics of Satan and his servants.

Daily Devotional “The Love God Hates”

Daily Devotional “The Love God Hates”
Be different!
September 13, 2023

“Do not love the world, nor the things in the world.

If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.

And the world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God abides forever” (1 John 2:15-17).

If you love the world, you’re engaging in a love God hates.

Satan, from the very beginning of his rebellious activities, has been developing an invisible spiritual system of evil designed to oppose God and enslave people to sin.

The apostle John identified that system as “the world,” and warned us not to love it.

Satan has had many centuries to develop his evil system, so it is very effective on those who reject Christ.

First John 5:19 explains that while we as Christians belong to God, “the whole world lies in the power of the evil one,” whom Jesus called, “the ruler of this world” (John 12:31).

In John 8:44 He identified certain unbelievers as children of their father, the devil, who is a murderer and the father of lies.

That’s how completely unbelievers are identified with Satan.

As a believer, you are identified with God. You have been delivered out of the domain of darkness and placed into the kingdom of Christ (Colossians. 1:13).

You are from God and have overcome the evil one because the Holy Spirit who indwells you is greater than he who controls the world (1 John 4:4).

Sadly, Christians sometimes flirt with the very things they’ve been saved from. Don’t do that.

Satan and his system have nothing to offer you. They are doomed! First John 2:17 says, “The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God abides forever.”

Prayer

•If you’ve been flirting with the world, ask God’s forgiveness.
•Praise God that someday Satan and his evil system will be vanquished.

Further Reading

Read the epistle of 1 John, noting the contrasts between the children of God and the children of Satan.

Daily Devotional “Seeking God’s Kingdom”

Daily Devotional “Seeking God’s Kingdom”
Be different!
September 11, 2023

“‘. . . All these things shall be added to you’” (Matthew 6:33).

God will provide for those who seek what is eternal.

What did Jesus mean when He said we are to seek God’s kingdom first?

It means our top priority in life should be to seek what is eternal. That was the priority for the apostle Paul.

In Acts 20 he was ready to leave for Jerusalem to defend the faith, not knowing if he might be put in prison or lose his life.

The prospect of persecution did not deter him, for he said, “I do not consider my life of any account as dear to myself” (v. 24).

He was not concerned about how long he would live or worried about what he would eat or wear.

Instead, he wanted to “finish [his] course, and the ministry which [he] received from the Lord Jesus” (v. 24).

Seeking the kingdom means you want Christ’s rule to be manifest in your life as righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit (Romans. 14:17).

So, when the lost see those spiritual qualities in your life instead of worry, they know the kingdom of God is there.

That is an attractive testimony that the Lord can use to bring the lost to Himself.

Seeking God’s kingdom means desiring to extend His kingdom.

Seeking the kingdom also means you long for Jesus to return in His millennial glory.

We will be joint-heirs with Christ (Romans. 8:1-7), reign with Him forever (Revelation. 22:5), live in a new heaven and earth throughout all eternity (21:1), and have all the majesty and riches of eternal Heaven (21:1—22:5).

There’s no need to be preoccupied or worried about material things since the whole earth is going to be destroyed and the Lord is going to make a new one.

Instead of seeking riches, “seek . . . His righteousness” (Matthew. 6:33).

Pursue godliness and holiness, and “all these things shall be added to you” (v. 33). God will provide for those who live a righteous life.

Prayer

•According to Matthew 6:33, are the priorities of your life in the right order?
•Confess and forsake any sin, and thank the Lord for the privilege of serving Him.

Further Reading

Read Psalm 34:9-10. What is the promise to those who fear and seek the Lord?

Daily Devotional “What About The Holy Spirit”

Daily Devotional “What About The Holy Spirit”
Be different!
September 10, 2023

“The one who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him.

And we know by this that He abides in us, by the Spirit which He has given us” (1 John 3:24).

Because the Holy Spirit affects every area of the Christian life, it is vital that we have a balanced and correct view of His role.

The church’s understanding of the Spirit’s Person and ministry has been seriously distorted over the past few decades.

Charismatics have given an undue emphasis to certain pentecostal gifts so that subjective experience is often elevated over objective scriptural truth.

At the same time, many non-charismatics have overreacted to charismatic excesses by almost ignoring the Holy Spirit.

For most, an in-depth study of the Spirit does not fit with the pragmatic, psychological approach to solving spiritual problems.

But we can’t afford to go to either extreme; otherwise we’ll miss out on what it really means to know the Spirit and to minister by His power.

He is indispensable in saving us, enabling us to obey Jesus Christ, and ultimately perfecting us in glory.

Paul urged the Galatian believers not to abandon the Holy Spirit but to lean completely on Him.

“Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?” (Galatians. 3:3).

Too many Christians are wasting time looking to seminars, gimmicks, counselors, and novel interpretations of old truths to uncover “the secret” to the abundant Christian life.

But the key to such living is not a mystery or a secret.

The sufficiency of the Holy Spirit’s ministry, as revealed through the pages of God’s fully reliable Word, is all the information and resources we’ll ever need to live fruitful and prosperous spiritual lives.

In today’s verse, the apostle John is speaking of Christ’s indwelling presence in the believer’s life, which the Holy Spirit reveals to us.

Therefore the Spirit is working with the Lord Jesus in encouraging you, guiding you, enlightening you, and empowering you for every good work (see John 14:16-20; John 16:13).

By understanding the Spirit’s role and allowing Him to work in you daily, you’ll begin to see your life becoming more like Christ each day.

Prayer

Pray that God would grant you and everyone in your church a proper and balanced understanding of the Spirit’s role.

Further Reading

Jesus is portrayed as the Good Shepherd in John 10. Read that chapter, and list the major characteristics He has as our Shepherd.

Daily Devotional “The Spirit Of Transformation”

Daily Devotional “The Spirit Of Transformation”
Be different!
September 8, 2023

“But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit” (2 Corinthians 3:18).

The Holy Spirit’s transforming work is a central part of the believer’s sanctification.

The children’s fable The Ugly Duckling wonderfully illustrates the Holy Spirit’s transforming work in believers. The story is about an ugly young bird who can’t fit in with any of the other animals.

It’s not until he encounters the beautiful swans that his life starts changing.

The swans are an irresistible attraction for the duckling, something he can’t forget after they leave for the winter.

Finally he makes the amazing discovery the following spring that in spite of his feelings of inferiority, he is not a duck but a swan, just like those creatures he has admired.

The days immediately following our conversion to Christ are often similar to the ugly duckling’s final experiences.

We have a great sense of sinful unworthiness and yet a powerful attraction to Jesus Christ.

We respond that way because we now know that character-wise He represents all we were created to be. And we soon come to realize that it’s both a humbling and exciting process to be transformed into Christ’s image.

Today’s Scripture, my favorite verse, is an excellent short description of the Spirit’s transforming work.

We won’t see the glory of the Lord perfectly right away, but we begin to see it with greater clarity once we know Jesus Christ by faith.

Paul is referring to our basic sanctification, which is a progressive process by which the Spirit changes us from one level of Christlikeness to another.

The end result will be our glorified position in Heaven, which is the Holy Spirit’s goal for us and the reason for our hope.

The Spirit reveals what we will be in Christ: “Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we shall be.

We know that, when He appears, we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him just as He is” (1 John 3:2).

Prayer

Pray that you would focus more on Christ and less on yourself as the Spirit transforms your life.

Further Reading

Read Psalm 40:1-10.

•What general attitude does David have in that passage?
•How many times does he mention God there?

Daily Devotional “Rejecting The World”

Daily Devotional “Rejecting The World”
Be different!
September 7, 2023



 

“Do not love the world, nor the things in the world.

If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him” (1 John 2:15).

The world is opposed to everything God stands for.

Loving the world begins with thinking that God doesn’t know what’s best for you and is trying to cheat you out of something you deserve.

That thought soon blossoms into a willingness to disregard God’s warnings altogether and take whatever Satan has to offer.

Love of the world started in the Garden of Eden and continues to this day.

Genesis 3:6 says, “When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.”

What made them think the fruit was good for food or able to make them wise?

God didn’t tell them that. In fact, He warned them that they would die if they ate the fruit (Genesis. 2:17).

But Eve believed the serpent’s lie and Adam followed suit.

Satan continues to propagate his lies but you needn’t fall prey to them if you love God and remember that the world is opposed to everything He stands for.

It is spiritually dead; void of the Spirit (John 14:17); morally defiled; and dominated by pride, greed, and evil desires.

It produces wrong opinions, selfish aims, sinful pleasures, demoralizing influences, corrupt politics, empty honors, and fickle love.

You can’t love the world and God at the same time because love knows no rivals.

It gives its object first place. If you love God, He will have first place in your life.

If you love the world, the love of the Father isn’t in you (1 John 2:15).

Galatians 1:3-5 explains that Jesus “gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us out of this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be the glory forevermore.”

Christ died to deliver us from Satan’s evil system.

What greater motivation could there be to reject the world and live to God’s glory?

Prayer

Ask God for greater wisdom and grace to resist the world’s influences.

Further Reading

According to Ephesians 6:10-18, how can you as a believer protect yourself against Satan’s evil system?

Daily Devotional “The Reality Of Spiritual Warfare”

Daily Devotional “The Reality Of Spiritual Warfare”
Be different!
September 6, 2023

 

 




“Be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, that you may be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places” (Ephesians. 6:10-12).

Victory in battle comes when you identify the enemy, resist his attacks, and then take the initiative against him.

Some nations have known many wars, but Vietnam was an especially frustrating campaign.

Thick jungle terrain made the enemy hard to find and guerrilla warfare made him hard to fight.

Many Vietnamese who peacefully worked the rice paddies by day donned the black garb of the Viet Cong soldier by night and invaded unsuspecting U.S. forces camped nearby.

American public opinion was strongly anti-war and morale among our troops was often low.

Spiritual warfare has similar parallels. Subtly and deceitfully, Satan disguises himself as an angel of light and “prowls about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour” (1 Peter. 5:8).

His emissaries disguise themselves as apostles of Christ and servants of righteousness (2 Corinthians. 11:13-15).

It takes wisdom and discernment to identify them and defend yourself against their attacks.

Most people are defenseless, however, because they scoff at the supernatural and deny the reality of spiritual warfare.

They think Satan may be fine for movie plots and book sales, but assume only the superstitious and credulous take him seriously.

Unfortunately, many Christians have succumbed to their ridicule and forsaken the battle.

Ephesians 6:10-24 reminds us that spiritual warfare is real and that God has given us all the resources we need— not only to defend ourselves, but also to take the initiative and win the victory over the forces of darkness.

I pray that our studies this month will encourage you in the battle and challenge you to always have on “the full armor of God, that you may be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil” (Ephesians. 6:11).

 

 




Prayer

Seek discernment and grace to identify the enemy and stand against him courageously.

Daily Devotional “Your Resources In Christ”

Daily Devotional “Your Resources In Christ”
Be different!
September 4, 2023

 

 

“Be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of His might.

Put on the full armor of God, that you may be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil” (Ephesians. 6:10-11).

In Christ you have every resource necessary for spiritual victory.

Satan opposes God and wants to prevent believers from glorifying Him.

One way he does that is by convincing them that he is either so formidable they could never defeat him, or so weak they can fight him on their own strength.

 

 

Second Corinthians 10:4 says, “The weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses.”

Human resources alone can never defeat a spiritual enemy, but divine resources can.

That’s why it’s crucial to understand the resources you have in Christ that insure spiritual victory.

In Ephesians 1:3 Paul says you have received all the blessings of heaven through Christ.

That includes being forgiven and redeemed (vv. 6-7), and receiving knowledge, understanding, and wisdom (vv. 17-18).

Within you resides the Holy Spirit (v. 13), who strengthens you and accomplishes more than you can ask or think (3:16, 20).

 

 

Believers represent the awesome power of God in this world—the same power that raised Christ from the dead, seated Him at the right hand of the Father, and subjected all things under His feet (Ephesians. 1:19-22).

He is the Sovereign Lord against whom no one can successfully stand.

That’s why Paul exhorted us to “be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of His might” (Ephesians. 6:10).

We find this strength by putting on the armor He has supplied: truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, the Word, and prayer.

Then, no matter what direction the enemy approaches from, or how subtle his attacks may be, we’ll be able to stand firm.

Satan’s attacks are complex and subtle. His ways of working in this world are cunning and deceitful.

Since it’s impossible to analyze and anticipate his every offense, focus on strengthening your defenses by understanding your spiritual resources and using them each day.

 

 

Prayer

•Ask God to increase your understanding of spiritual warfare.
•Seek wisdom in applying your resources in the most effective ways.
•When you face spiritual battles, confide in a Christian friend who will pray with you and encourage you.

Further Reading

According to Matthew 4:1-11, how did Jesus deal with Satan’s attacks?

Daily Devotional “The Sin of Worry”

Daily Devotional “The Sin of Worry”
Be different!
September 3, 2023

 

“‘Do not be anxious for your life, as to what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor for your body, as to what you shall put on’” (Matthew 6:25).

To worry about the future is to sin against God.

Someone has said, “You can’t change the past, but you can ruin a perfectly good present by worrying about the future.”

Worry does ruin the present, but even more important for the believer is to recognize that worry is sin. Let’s look at why that is so.

 

 

Worry means you are striking out at God. Someone might say, “Worry is a small, trivial sin.”

But that’s not true. More important than what worry does to you is what it does to God.

When you worry, you are saying in effect, “God, I just don’t think I can trust You.” Worry strikes a blow at God’s integrity and love for you.

Worry means you are disbelieving Scripture. You can say, “I believe in the inerrancy of Scripture.

I believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration of every word,” and then just live your life worrying.

You are saying you believe the Bible, but then worry about God fulfilling what He says in it.

Worry means you are being mastered by circumstances.

Let the truths of God’s Word, not your circumstances, control your thinking.

By worrying, you make the circumstances and trials of life a bigger issue than your salvation.

If you believe God can save you from eternal Hell, also believe He can help you in this world as He has promised.

 

 

Worry means you are distrusting God. If you worry, you’re not trusting your Heavenly Father.

And if you’re not trusting Him, perhaps it’s because you don’t know Him well enough.

Study God’s Word to find out who He really is and how He has been faithful to supply the needs of His people in the past.

Doing so will help give you confidence for the future.

Allow His Word to indwell you richly so that you aren’t making yourself vulnerable to Satan’s temptations to worry.

 

Prayer

Review the four points given above, and confess any sin to God.

Further Reading

Read Psalm 55:22; 1 Peter 5:7. What antidote to worry do both verses give?

Daily Devotional “Letting The Fog Lift”

Daily Devotional “Letting The Fog Lift”
Be different!
September 2, 2023

 

“‘Do not be anxious for your life, as to what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor for your body, as to what you shall put on’” (Matthew 6:25).

God’s Word commands us not to worry.

A story I once read reminded me that worry is like fog.

According to the article, dense fog covering seven city blocks a hundred feet deep is composed of less than one glass of water—divided into sixty billion droplets.

In the right form, a few gallons of water can cripple a large city.

Similarly, the object of a person’s worry is usually quite small compared to the way it can cripple his thinking or harm his life.

Someone has said, “Worry is a thin stream of fear that trickles through the mind, which, if encouraged, will cut a channel so wide that all other thoughts will be drained out.”

All of us have to admit that worry is a part of life.

The Bible commands us, however, not to worry. To break that command is sin.

 

 

 

Worry is the equivalent of saying, “God, I know You mean well by what You say, but I’m just not sure You can pull it off.”

Worry is the sin of distrusting the promises and providence of God; yet we do it all the time.

We don’t worry about anything as much as we worry about the basics of life.

In that regard we are similar to the people whom Jesus addressed in Matthew 6:25-34.

They were worried about having sufficient food and clothing. I suppose if they were to try and legitimize their worry, they would say, “After all, we’re not worrying about extravagant things.

We’re just worrying about our next meal, a glass of water, and something to wear.”

But there is no reason for a believer to worry about the basics of life since Jesus says He will provide for him.

You are neither to hoard material possessions as a hedge against the future (vv. 19-24) nor be anxious about your basic needs (vv. 25-34).

Instead of letting the fog of worry roll in, it’s time to let it lift.

 

 

 

Prayer

“Rejoice in the Lord always. . . . Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God” (Philippians. 4:4, 6).
