Thoughtful Devotions

Genesis - the beginning of a greater story. Throughout this book of the Bible, one will find redemption, hope, and encouragement. Circumstances can seem dire, and one often wonders where God is. Yet He is right there, working in our situation(s). His promises will come to pass, as they did with Abraham. He will work situations out as He did for Joseph.

Whether you read a devotional a day or the book in its entirety, you will be blessed and inspired. Enjoy it alone, with your family, or in small groups. Open the pages and see what God would speak to you through the book of Genesis.

Numbers, the account of the Israelites' journey to the Jordan River, where they stood waiting to enter the Promised Land. It is a story of redemption. The Israelites whined and complained, and they disobeyed, spending another forty years in the wilderness. However, God would have mercy, giving the next generation the chance to enter. Thus, they journeyed and arrived. For those today who believe, faith and obedience are required for us to obtain the promises of God. Journey through the book of Numbers and let the lessons of this book encourage you to live a life pleasing to God, a life of consecration, obedience, and faith.

Deuteronomy, a second retelling of the laws of God. As Moses stood with the Israelites on the bank of the Jordan River, he reminded the people of the many laws. These laws were not arbitrary or the work of a cruel God trying to enslave His people. Rather, they were protection and guidance. They were a display of love from God to His peculiar people. Today, we join the Israelites as the children of God. A walk through Deuteronomy provides reminders for us on how to live a life holy, obedient, and pleasing to God. We all need reminders to encourage and restore our faith. A walk through the fifth and final book of the Torah provides this and much more. Journey through the book of Deuteronomy and allow the fresh insights of these devotions to be a reminder of how great our God is.
