Women And Their Devotionals

This is a repost of something I wrote back in September 2023. As I watched my ailing wife sitting there this morning with her hands trembling and her devotions not so neatly kept in her cherished bible. I couldn’t help but marvel at her determination to be with the Lord no matter how much of a struggle it would be for her.

In the U.S Declaration Of Independence it says “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit Women’s devotionals” Of course that is not what it says but it should!

Lets be honest and state something that is pretty much common knowledge. Women of faith normally are much better at their daily devotionals than men of faith.

As we ponder as to why this might be happening I suspect it has much to do about the nurturing way that most women have in their DNA. Men have those but probably not as much. So many men of faith have this attitude if they just plow ahead things will work out. I also think that most men don’t get it when it comes to the needs of the woman of faith in their lives.

Many men take the woman in their lives faith for granted and don’t do a very good job of filling those needs which makes it more difficult for them.

I know all situations are different but in our home nothing is more important than my wife’s daily devotional time. Nothing.

Faith Is All You Have

I have news for you in a world that claims it has a solution to all your problems. They don’t plain and simple.

I have some shocking news for you this May morning. You can have all the friends ( or so they think), family, work accomplishments, and material possessions you want but none of that matters in the end.

If you want to know what really matters here is something that may help you be reminded what does matter!

Stand in front of a mirror alone and have your bible in your hands. That is all you have in this world and your bible is the only place where you can find all the faith you will ever need.

Pretty simple you think? Not really because you have all those other things that pull at you constantly and that is what Satan wants.

God’s Timing in Loved Ones Life

As I watch the love of my life slowly fade away those scary moments are becoming more commonplace. When checking on things her breathing has slowed down and her body is in a contorted position that is so common when humans die.

Like my wish, the other day is the same as it has been for years, and that if this is God’s timing to bring her home please let it be as peaceful as possible?

The best way it was explained to me many years ago was her poor health is like a rollercoaster. She will go up to the high points and then down to the low points and at some point, she will not be able to make it back up to the high point anymore. She is having more and more difficulty getting back to those high points. Which is only natural I suspect.

So is today the day she can’t get back up to the top of the rollercoaster? I don’t know but it would not come as a surprise.
