Daily Bible Reading - Tuesday April 14th

I’ve gotten a couple PM’s saying this post is inappropriate for this board, I’m sorry it’s upset someone or offended anyone so if you all would rather we can do this on our own, it’s not a problem to me, I was just trying to help those that wanted it. Or maybe it’s just the devil sticking his ole head where it don’t belong, we’ll see.

 

Today’s Reading

Joshua 9:3-10:43
Luke 16:19-17:10
Psalm 83:1-18
Proverbs 13:4

 

Daily Devotional

Matthew 11:30
“For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light"

We all go through seasons that are more difficult than others; seasons where we're working hard but not making much progress. Maybe in a relationship you're doing your best, but it still seems stagnate. Sometimes, there are seasons in our finances where it's one struggle after another. If we're not careful, we'll lose our enthusiasm and think, "This is just the way life is. Life is just hard."

Yes, there are seasons when we have to stand strong and do the right thing even though it's difficult; but don't make the mistake of settling there and thinking that's the way it's always going to be. Jesus said, "My yoke is easy and my burden is light." There is something called the anointing of ease that can change everything! When you step into this anointing, the things that used to be difficult will suddenly become easy. Things you used to struggle with won't be a struggle anymore. God gives you a supernatural grace–a favor–that lightens the load and takes the pressure off. You part is to stay in faith, keep believing, and keep hoping. No matter how difficult things may seem, stand strong because His anointing of ease will carry you through!

Today's thought: Thank You for the anointing of ease. Today, I cast my cares on You knowing that You care for me. I ask for Your supernatural anointing to remove every burden and destroy every yoke of bondage in my life.

you know Andy it is a funny thing that these people that complain about about us talking about God dont ever get on here they just want to stir up trouble . if all of us that believed and wanted to talk about the Bible and God got off here there probably wouldnt be a sole that got on this forum and said a word...so dont quit...the Devil loves to hear those words   if they dont want to read it they dont have to....there are a few posts that pop up here and there that i dont read...so why cant they not read the ones they dont like or better yet they can block your posts if that offends them ....

Please don't stop!  For the first time in my Christian walk I have committed to read the Word and because of YOUR faithfulness I have remained committed.  I agree....Satan is ticked and is trying to stop this. 

If they don't like it, they don't have to read it.  If it bothers them that bad, they can block you and then they won't even see the post.  Some people just aren't happy if they aren't causing issues.  All you have to do is look at the ugliness that was thrown when people explained why they chose RNY over other surgeries.

Don't give up Andy....this board is for everybody.  Not just those who believe or those who don't believe.  You manage to tie this post to our surgeries and it helps those of us who want to use this as a resource.  If it doesn't help them, then they don't need to read it.

Love you, brother.  Hang in there.

Andy, I hope the PM's you have gotten is not from our Board. No matter where they are coming from, please don't stop.  Your post are so inspirational and uplifting. Only the devils advocate would want these stopped!

Andy....

As I was catching up on the devotionals since I have been gone and read what you wrote above I was just amazed to read on down and see the very word that will give you strength as you move forward in the Lord's will for your life...

God gives you a supernatural grace–a favor–that lightens the load and takes the pressure off. Your part is to stay in faith, keep believing, and keep hoping. No matter how difficult things may seem, stand strong because His anointing of ease will carry you through!

Anointing of ease ~ I love that thought and principle!

Isn't it wonderful how the Lord sends just what we need at the time we need it?!?!  Shows the very loving heart of the God we serve!

Hang in there buddy... you are appreciated.

Thank's y'all,

I for one am PROUD to stand up for Our Lord, He's brought me out of the pit of being overweight to where I am today, I still have a long ways to go and can't do it on my own and wont even try.  Thanks for all your encouragement.

Bec your right, today's devotional fit right in for today,  I read and re-read it and it hit me like a shovel on my head,  thanks so much!!

Y'all are so right, AMEN!!

Andy
