Joshua 9:1-15 ... When the enemy doesn't play fair

Send Tim a note [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2536383/fan_mail/new] If you've ever been duped by someone, you know how embarrassing and consequential that can be. We'd all like to believe that we have good discernment and the ability to see through other people's deceptions but the truth is, people can be very clever. It turns out that our spiritual adversary operates in much the same way, occasionally coming at us bluntly but usually looking to deceive us in some way. So what do we do about that?   Listen in for more!

Romans 5:12-21... Super Abounding!

Send Tim a note [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2536383/fan_mail/new] Have you ever been in a situation where things spiraled out of control? It’s a pretty helpless feeling when events are already in motion that you can’t stop.  You’re beyond the point of no return.  Our passage has an element of that at the beginning but then introduces us to The One who totally reversed the narrative and brought legitimate hope!  This isn't merely a situation of barely having enough grace to restore balance, this is abundant, overwhelming grace.  Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2536383/support] For a reading plan and to learn more about this devotional.  Check out the website! https://meetmeintheword.com/ [https://meetmeintheword.com/] Want to support this ministry but don't want to do the monthly subscription?  Click the link below. https://buymeacoffee.com/timothysamuel [https://buymeacoffee.com/timothysamuel]

Genesis 17

Send Tim a note [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2536383/fan_mail/new] Who are you?  What are you doing here?  More importantly, who does God say you are?  And finally, what’s the purpose He’s given you? Each of those questions are reflected in the story of Abraham and Sarah. Their experience with promises, faith, doubt, and questions are all highly relatable to me.  How about you? Leaning into God for our identity can be the most transformative thing that happens to us in our lives.  Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2536383/support] For a reading plan and to learn more about this devotional.  Check out the website! https://meetmeintheword.com/ [https://meetmeintheword.com/] Want to support this ministry but don't want to do the monthly subscription?  Click the link below. https://buymeacoffee.com/timothysamuel [https://buymeacoffee.com/timothysamuel]

Matthew 6:16-18

Send Tim a note [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2536383/fan_mail/new] Is there something in your life where you know you just need to shove out every single distraction and bring that to Jesus? What are you pleading with God about? We’re talking about fasting today in Matthew 6:16-18, the model that God has given us to do exactly that.  We take time to understand this passage but also to pull in from other examples as well as some (hopefully) helpful tidbits about approach and timing. Ultimately, we are truly blessed that God invites us into His presence in order to listen to us.

Psalm 17

Send Tim a note [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2536383/fan_mail/new] When you think about God taking a deep dive into your heart and mind and looking around, what sort of response do you have?  I think it’s perfectly normal for us to hope that those one or two areas remain unseen and unsearched and yet the truth is, God already knows.  His intent, though, isn’t to look for flaws in order to condemn us. His desire is to heal us.  I believe one of the best things that happens to us when we follow Jesus is that we can have a truly clear conscience, not because we’re perfect but because we can be totally open. We’ll be looking at Psalm 17, a prayer of David that invites God to look into his heart and to bring about justice.  Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2536383/support] For a reading plan and to learn more about this devotional.  Check out the website! https://meetmeintheword.com/ [https://meetmeintheword.com/] Want to support this ministry but don't want to do the monthly subscription?  Click the link below. https://buymeacoffee.com/timothysamuel [https://buymeacoffee.com/timothysamuel]
