THE TOTAL REALM OF REALITY Matthew 6:33
Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you
A common question I am asked by those who believe the Bible and accept the reality of the spiritual world is, "When is a problem spiritual and when is it psychological or neurological?" Our problems are never not psychological. Our mind, will and emotions, along with developmental issues, always contribute something to the problem and are necessary for the resolution. At the same time, our problems are never not spiritual. God is always present. Furthermore, it is never safe to take off the armor of God. The possibility of being deceived, tempted and accused by Satan is a continuous reality.
Our culture assumes that any problem related to the mind must be psychological or neurological. Why can it not be spiritual? We must take into account the total realm of reality: body, soul and spirit. If we don't, we will polarize into a psychotherapeutic ministry that ignores spiritual reality or some kind of deliverance ministry that ignores developmental issues or human responsibility. The diagnosis and resolution of our problems must take into account both the psychological and the spiritual. I have assured hundreds of people under spiritual attack that they are not going crazy, but that there is a battle going on for their minds. The relief this insight brings to people is incredible.
I fully acknowledge that some problems are caused by chemical imbalances or glandular disorders. For these you had better see your family physician. But it seems that the last possibility to be considered is always the spiritual and only after every other possible natural explanation has been exhausted. But since we are instructed to seek first the kingdom of God, why not check out the spiritual area first? Frankly, I approach every problem hoping it is spiritual in nature, because I know on the authority of the Word of God that the problem is resolvable. If the battle is for the mind, we can win that war.
Prayer:
Father God, keep me tuned to the reality of the spiritual world and mindful of the problems that come when I fail to seek a spiritual solution to my daily problems.

HOW FIRM IS YOUR FOUNDATION?

HOW FIRM IS YOUR FOUNDATION?
Some years ago, a good friend of mine bought a new house in the Dallas area. He and his wife were so excited! The house looked great... the price was right... nothing could be better! Within nine months, however, their excitement turned to grief because the house had major foundation problems. As everyone knows, when the firm foundation of your house starts to shift and fail, every other part of the house begins to suffer as a result... and the homeowner is left holding the bag.
As important as it is have a firm foundation for your home, it is even more important to a have a firm foundation for your life, a foundation that can stand the storms. What exactly does that foundation look like?
TWO THINGS YOU MUST HAVE
I believe with all my heart that there are two foundational truths that you and I must have embedded in the core of our being in order for us to stand, no matter the storm. These two key truths are simple and yet so profound. They are found in 2 Chronicles 7:3:
"And all the sons of Israel, seeing the fire come down and the glory of the LORD upon the house, bowed down on the pavement with their faces to the ground, and they worshiped and gave praise to the LORD, saying, 'Truly He is good, truly His lovingkindness is everlasting.'"
1. You must know and believe that GOD IS GOOD. No matter what happens in your life, no matter what tragedy strikes, God is still good. If you don't believe that, when the disaster of cancer... or job loss... or the death of a loved one... or betrayal and divorce strikes, you will get bitter at God and silently declare, "God is not good and not worthy to be trusted." Nothing could be further from the truth.
Remember, life is not always good, but God is. Do not equate the circumstances of this life with God. This life is marred and tainted by sin. Bad things do happen to good people. Terrible tragedy does touch down like a tornado even on those who love and fear God. That is just a fact of life. When the bad things come, don't believe the devil's lie that God is not good. "Truly He is good", regardless of the devastating circumstances.
2. You must know and believe that GOD LOVES YOU. It is very easy to look at the bad circumstances of your life and make the determination that God must not love you. Job's wife lost all ten of her , her wealth and her husband's health... all within a week. As she looked at the circumstances she determined God did not love her or Job anymore, and she counseled Job to "curse God and die" (Job 2:9).
Now before you throw her under the bus for her lack of faith, put yourself in her shoes. She experienced pain and loss to a greater degree than any of us have ever experienced. You and I often question God's love for us over things far less devastating than Mrs. Job faced.
The truth remains the same, regardless of the circumstances: GOD DOES LOVE YOU. The cross of Jesus Christ proves it. God freely gave His only begotten to be whipped, beaten, spit upon and nailed to a tree not for friends, but for enemies. You and I were enemies of God because of our sin and independence, yet God still gave His sinless, innocent for us... and Jesus willing gave His life for us. Charles Wesley wrote, "Amazing love, how can it be, that Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?" Anytime the devil tells you God doesn't love you... and you are tempted to believe it, take a mental trip to a bloody hill called Calvary and see His love for yourself.
A NEW FOCUS
Will you focus on your foundation today? Will you praise God for His goodness and for His love? Will you look at everything in your life through the rock-solid, never changing foundational perspective that says, "COME WHAT MAY, MY GOD IS GOOD!... AND MY GOD LOVES ME!!... AND MY GOD WILL ONE DAY WORK ALL THINGS TOGETHER FOR MY GOOD AND HIS GLORY!!!

Time Machine or Forgiveness?
This devotional was written by Robin Dugall
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ?-- 1 John 1:9
My made a comment on her blog that I found extremely profound. She asked the question, "wouldn't we all wish we had a time machine so that we could fix some of the problems we caused or mistakes we made in the past?" I've thought about that question quite a bit. I have to admit having a time machine would be a good thing to have, because I would love to have some "do-overs," if given the chance.
For example, I wish I had a time machine so that I could go back to when I was 17 years old, to the day I told my dad that I didn't care about him. Maybe then we wouldn't have such a strained relationship. I wish I could go back to the times my closest friends needed me the most and I wasn't there for them. Maybe then they would understand how much they really mean to me. I wish I could go back to those times that I felt I was too important and too much "in demand" to spend significant time with my when they were small. Maybe then I wouldn't feel like I missed so much of their growing up years.
Does anyone have a time machine? I think we could all use one. We all have some cleaning up that we could do. Unfortunately, time machines don't exist. This is why we need forgiveness.
Jesus says that once we come before Him and confess our sins, He wipes the slate clean. He actually moves our sin and brokenness far from His heart, and looks on us as though we had never sinned.
That's different than the time machine idea, isn't it? A time machine depends on our fixing things that might help us feel better about ourselves. On the other hand, forgiveness leads to transformation of our hearts and lives by giving us a sense of freedom that goes beyond comparison. While "do-overs" would do us good, we need forgiveness more! We need freedom, not regret!
GOING DEEPER:
What "do-overs" would you like in your life? How would you use a time machine if you had one?
What in your life needs the healing power of the forgiveness of Jesus? How do you need to accept it now? In what areas of your life do you need freedom?

Dancing Past Regrets
Cindi McMenamin
Linda stared across the table at me, her eyes filled with tears.
"If only I hadn't married him. If only I had just waited on God a little longer. But how could I have known?"
The tears spilled out, along with her regrets from the past several years.
Linda was raising two alone since her husband left a year earlier when he decided he no longer wanted the responsibility of taking care of a wife and .
Linda had spent the past year recounting her "if onlys", beating herself over the head for not having figured out when she met him that her husband was the kind of man who would eventually leave. Yet I was there at Linda's wedding ceremony years ago and I, too, never would have seen it coming.
Shortly after my conversation with Linda, I got a call from Becky. She was lamenting over her upcoming 20-year high school reunion, and couldn't believe she would be attending it single. "How did I miss God's plan for me?" she asked, in frustration. "I can't imagine He'd want me to live out my life by myself."
I looked at my watch as the phone call came to an end. I was almost late for an appointment with Terry, who was agonizingly lonely in her 25-year marriage.
Linda. Becky. Terry. And sometimes you and me. We all forget, at times, that God knows all things -- even the miserable things in our lives -- and can still bring the tangled threads of our lives together into a beautiful love story revolving around us and Himself. Yet we, as women, continue to blame ourselves and stress that we didn't get God's Plan A for our lives. And instead, we fear, we're living out the dreaded Plan B.
Have you ever considered that it's no accident that you are where you are today? Whether you're single and still waiting to be married, married but feeling alone, widowed earlier than you thought, or divorced and regretting that you somehow missed "God's best", none of it takes God by surprise. Your Maker, who fashioned you in your mother's womb, knew the circumstances that would play out in your life to cause you to feel frustrated, or alone. The Psalmist says God has written out our days in a book before we ever came to be. That means He has a plan -- and purpose -- in what we sometimes see as our pain or plight.
God doesn't have a Plan A for the majority of women -- to get married and live happily ever after--and then a Plan B for the rest of us, which leaves us feeling that somehow we missed Plan A. No, God looked down through the corridors of time and knew what each of us would need to become more intimately connected with Him and then He ordained our days -- overseeing our circumstances, directing our paths, and providing enough of Himself to be available to us when we feel we're at our wits' end -- so that we would live that story and find Him as our all in all.
In Psalm 139, David sang this about the God who made him and planned out his life:
"You saw me before I was born.
Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed."
Then David went on to say this about the Divine Writer of our life story:
"How precious are your thoughts about me, O God!
They are innumerable!
I can't even count them;
they outnumber the grains of sand!
And when I wake up in the morning,
You are still with me!" (verses 16-18, NLT)
The Writer of our story and the One who has ordained all our days loves us intimately. The number of precious thoughts He has toward us cannot even be measured! That means God not only has our life story planned out, but because He loves us immeasurably, that story is truly a good one...one of loving kindness and hope. So we don't need to be doubled over in disappointment and shame, thinking our lives are past the point of ever turning out well. We don't need to live with regrets that we made certain choices that messed up our lives. We can, instead, dance past those regrets knowing that God is still in charge and He knows the plans He has for us, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" (Jeremiah 29:11b).
Will you go through this day differently knowing that the Writer of your story has precious thoughts of you too numerable to measure? And will you trust Him today that He has this chapter of your life already resolved and is waiting for you to see the benefits of trusting Him as you live through it?
You can rejoice today knowing that your circumstances are no accident in the eyes of an all-knowing, all-seeing God. And because your days were written out in His book before you were born, He has already planned the "happy ending" that still lies ahead of you. Don't' give up on God because your story in His book is only half-lived. Trust the process. Trust your Maker. And rest in the fact that the Writer knows exactly what's ahead and can get you safely to the "happily ever after."

Tell God You Love Him By Remembering What Christ Did for you

Tell God You Love Him by Remembering What Christ Did for You
by Rick Warren
"And anyone who is ashamed of Me and My message in these days of unbelief and sin, I, the Messiah, will be ashamed of Him when I return in the glory of My Father, with the holy angels" (Mark 8:38 L .
You can't say you love Jesus Christ and be ashamed of Him at the same time. In Mark 8, Jesus' words could be summarized this way: "If you're ashamed of Me on earth, I'm going to be ashamed of you in heaven." We need to publicly identify ourselves with Christ. That's how we show our love for Him.
Jesus gave us two very powerful symbols that help us publicly declare we belong to God. The first one is Communion, which helps us identify with what Jesus Christ did for us:
• He saved us from the penalty of sin. Everything you've ever done wrong was paid for on the cross so you get to go free and forgiven.
• He saves us from the power of sin. He breaks its grip in our lives. He gives us a new power to be able to make changes so we're not the same anymore. He can do new things in our lives that we always wanted to do but never thought we could do on our own.
• Eventually He saves us from the presence of sin in heaven where there will be no sin, no sorrow, no suffering, no pain, no grief. That's good news.
What should my attitude be when I take the Lord's Supper? Should I sit there feeling guilty, remembering all the wrong things I've done in my life? No. They've already been paid for by Jesus Christ and forgiven. When I take Communion, should I feel grief, thinking about all the torture and suffering that Jesus Christ went through for me? No. Because He didn't stay dead; He came back to life.
So what should be my attitude when I take the Lord's Supper? It should be the attitude of gratitude. Gratefulness for all that God has done. That God loves me so much He sent Jesus to save me from my sins. We can be grateful because we are a forgiven people.
As we take Communion we do several things. We publicly identify our faith in Christ. We publicly identify our love for Christ. We publicly state that we want to be closer to Christ.
When you participate in the Lord's Supper, you worship God because it requires you to "examine your motives, test your heart, come to this meal in holy awe" (1 Corinthians 11:28 MSG).

Tell God You Love Him by Listening to Him

Tell God You Love Him by Listening to Him
by Rick Warren
"I am the Good Shepherd; I know My own sheep, and they know Me . . . They will listen to My voice" (John 10:14, 16 NLT).
One way to worship God is to listen to Him.
Listening is one of the greatest gifts you can give to somebody. When you listen to someone, you're saying, "You matter to me." When I listen to my , when I listen to my wife, when I listen to anyone, I'm saying, "I value what you have to say. I value your opinion. You're important to me." When I don't listen to somebody, I'm basically saying, "You don't matter to me. You're not important to me. I don't value what you have to say."
The same is true with God. Every time you listen to God, you're saying, "God, you matter to me. I value what you have to say." Listening is the most misunderstood and overlooked part of prayer. Most of us think that prayer is just talking to God. That's only fifty percent of prayer. The other fifty percent of prayer is getting quiet and letting God speak to us.
Usually we're in too much of a hurry to do this. What we do is say, "Hi, God, it's me. I've got ten things I need from You. Thank you. Over and out. Goodbye." We don't wait and listen. We don't say, "God, do You have a few things to say to me?"
Did you know that the Bible says hearing God's voice is a test of whether you're a true believer–whether you're in God's family–whether you're headed for heaven or not? In John 10, Jesus essentially says, "I am the Good Shepherd; I know My own sheep, they know Me, and they listen to My voice."
How often do you pause to listen to God each day? Do you pause and say, "God, is there anything You want to say about this?" When you're trying to make a decision, or you're getting ready to go to an event, or you're about to talk to somebody about something important, do you pause and say, "God, is there anything You want to say about this?"
Evaluate yourself on that. God wants you to hear Him, and by listening, you worship Him.

The Parable of the Porcupines

The Parable of the Porcupines
Matthew 16:25
For whoever wishes to save his life shall lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake shall find it.
Perhaps you've heard the story of the two porcupines freezing in the winter cold. Shivering in the frigid air, the two porcupines move closer together to share body heat and warmth. But then their sharp spines and quills prick each other painfully and they move apart, victims once more of the bitter cold around them. Soon they feel they must come together once more, or freeze to death. But their quills cause too much pain and they part again.
Family members suffer from the cold of isolation, too-and they learn of the pain of being close to someone with quills. We desperately need to learn how to live with the barbs that are part of coming together in oneness.
C. S. Lewis describes the urgency of learning this lesson:
Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung, possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully around with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket-safe, dark, motionless, airless-it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.
Intimacy extracts a price. The closer I get to Barbara, the more she becomes aware of who I really am. The more transparent we become, the greater the possibility that she will reject me. But if both of us are committed to each other despite our quills-if we are willing, as Jesus said, to lose our lives instead of saving them-intimacy awaits us.
Prayer:
Ask God for openness and intimacy in your family that connects one another's hearts and creates a deep sense of belonging.
Discuss: On a scale of 1 to 5, how would you rate the level of intimacy in your marriage?

Embracing Who I Am

Embracing Who I Am
"But the angel said to her, 'Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God.'"
Luke 1:30 (NIV)
Devotion:
Ten years ago I sat in a seminar listening to a very organized mom talking about how she parented her . She was an amazing woman; a super mom in my eyes.
I held up my feeble efforts with my three toddlers and determined I stunk as a mother. I thought that maybe if I went home and imitated her, I could enter into the world of super moms.
I mentally listed out what I discerned must be her secret to success and set about to be just like her. But it didn't take me long to become absolutely miserable. I mentally beat myself up for not having what it obviously took to be a great mom. What was wrong with me?
I begged God to make me just like her - that really good mom. And then one day in Bible study I read the story of Mary, the teenage mother of Jesus. My heart beat fast as I realized she didn't meet the standard of super mom I'd set for myself.
Somehow, just as she was, God chose her to be Jesus' mother. And the only qualification that she seemed to have was her willingness.
I made the choice to try and let go of all those expectations I had for myself as a mom. I let go of the comparisons to other moms. I laid down the measuring stick of perfection. And I simply bowed my head and gave God my willingness.
Slowly, I started to see my own unique qualities as a mom instead of always focusing on the places I felt I fell so short.
I may not be the most organized mom, but I'm a fun mom willing to drop my to-do list in the name of spontaneity.
I may not do sit-down devotions with my every morning, but I'm good at helping my see God working in situations all throughout our days.
I may not sew a lick, but I know where to find an alterationist that is the bomb.
I may not always keep my cool in the everyday aggravations of life, but throw something big at me and somehow I'll be the calmest person in the room.
Sure, I have a lot of room for growth in my mothering. God and I work on things daily. But over the past ten years I've learned how to embrace who I am and the beauty of living fully as me.
And while I still fall short at times, I'm finally learning that being fully me is so much better than an imitation version of someone else.
I have the exact qualities God knew my would need in a mother. So, each day I hold up my willingness and ask God to make me the best version of me I can be.
Dear Lord, I admit that I am dependant on You in every area of my life, as a mother, a wife, a co-worker, a , and a friend. Help me to understand the depth of Your love for me. Thank You for being familiar with me in all my ways. Thank You for laying your hand upon me. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

But You Promised

"But You Promised"
by Rick Warren
"It is a trap for a man to dedicate something rashly and only later to consider his vows" (Proverbs 20:25 NIV).
Have you ever...
• Promised to deliver something by a set date and later regretted it?
• Volunteered for a job you had no idea would take so long?
• Agreed to a deal that looked great but wasn't?
• Accepted an invitation you wish you hadn't?
Eventually, we all learn by experience a basic law of life: It's always easier to get in than get out! The Bible says, "It is a trap for a man to dedicate something rashly and only later to consider his vows" (Proverbs 20:25 NIV).
There are three common commitment traps:
1. The Money Trap: It's always easier to get into debt than out of debt! It's always easier to borrow than to pay it back.
2. The Partnership Trap: It's always easier to get into a partnership, or a relationship, than to get out of one!
3. The Time Trap: It's always easier to fill your schedule than to fulfill it! You can get so many irons in the fire that you put out the fire!
The solution: Remember what the Bible says–don't make rash vows.
In other words, choose your commitments carefully; think before you speak; under-promise and over-deliver. With this, you'll build a reputation as a person of your word.

Ancient Words
Tracie Miles
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." John 1:1 (NIV)
Devotion:
It caught me off guard. While standing and singing praise and worship songs during our Sunday morning worship service, the choir began singing a song that I was not familiar with. It was called Ancient Words, written by Lynn DeShazo in 1999. As we came to the chorus of the song, each member of the choir held their Bibles up in the air, and within moments, scores of people in our congregation began lifting their Bibles to the heavens as they sang. The sight of all of those Bibles lifted high in the air, resting on the melodies of praise that were being sung to our God, literally took my breath away.
I began to consider the importance that we put on ancient things. Antique furniture, our grandmother's fine china, estate jewelry, old pictures, and precious family heirlooms all come to mind. I began to wonder why these things are so important to us. Is it just because they are old and from another point in time? Is it because they belonged to people we love? Or is it our desire to simply have a piece of something that came into existence before we were born?
I believe that we not only long for antiques, or ancient things, but we often long for how things were in the ancient days. The days when morals were the driving force for how to live one's life. The days when God was an integral part of our education system, our workplace, and our communities. The days when we could speak of our faith without worrying about offending someone. The days when we could raise our based on biblical principles without feeling like the minority. And the days when our country was founded on Jesus Christ, and proud of that foundational belief.
As time passes, things change, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. But our hope lies in knowing that there is one thing never changes...God's Word and the truths that are found in His Word.
In ancient days, and today, the Bible invites us to discover the covenant relationship that the Lord desires to have with each of us. Through the words of those holy pages, we are taught how to live a life that pleases Him, and how to embrace His commandments for living. Through God's Word we learn how to deal with adversity and stand strong in the face of opposition and suffering. We find hope, grace, forgiveness, peace and purpose.
Those ancient Holy words give us the courage, freedom and strength to live in a world that may not value the most precious antique of all.
God's ancient words will never change, and our hearts do not have to change either if we hold tight to our faith. God's Word is timeless.
Just as the passing of time makes an antique even more valuable, the same goes for God's Word. Its value increases with each passing day, encourages every generation, and holds true to the end of time. It is our choice whether or not we will treasure God's Word in our hearts.
Dear Lord, build in me a hunger for Your Word that can only be met by spending time with You. Help me treasure the Bibles in my household more than any other items I own. Help me to pass down a passion for Your Word to my family and friends so that I can pass down the most valuable of all antiques. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

The lyrics of the song "Ancient Words":
Holy words long preserved for our walk in this world
They resound with God's own heart; O let the ancient words impart
Words of life, words of hope; Give us strength, help us cope
In this world where'er we roam, ancient words will guide us home
Holy words of our faith, handed down to this age
Came to us through sacrifice; O heed the faithful words of Christ!
Martyrs' blood stains each page, they have died for this faith
Hear them cry through the years, "Heed these words and hold them dear!"
Chorus:
Ancient words, ever true
Changing me and changing you
We have come with open hearts
O let the ancient words impart
