"Philadelphia"

Be devoted to one another in brotherly love, Honor one another above yourselves. Romans 12:10

Devotion :

Relationships becomes harder sometimes. Though we know in those areas we are learning a lot about ourselves more than others, Instead of trying to resolve the situation, most of the time we respond in the exact way we have been treated. why are they so hard? And no, it’s not just ease of matter. What are our deep personal motives? Are we honoring God and others ?

The difficult times are like sand paper , it certainly gives new perspective to look others.Caring, Giving and supportive relationships evolves when we honor others which can create harmony and peace in life. Don’t pretend to be in " Philadelphia " . Do it!

Lead us!!!

If the LORD is pleased with us, he will lead us into that land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and will give it to us. Numbers 14 : 8

Devotion :

How do we react at failure times? In the daily grind of life we look answers for an unexpected illness in the family, a failure in the grade, medical diagnosis of a loved one, unemployment, heart breaking world news or our financial situation. When we still know God has an ultimate plan in our lives, Are we pleasing Him?, Why are we ...questioning God and his promises on these realities. 

Let God walk through “those” times. If we allow, we will experience the life in a better way. When obstacles encounters, Trusting God, wait patiently on His promises, know that he cares for us... always. When we obey Him, we learn His ways.

Did You Hear ?!

He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. Matt 11:15

Devotion:

It is very difficult to find someone to just listen and try to solve our own life issues. But when we feel the sense that some one is really listening to what we say; How do we feel?! We feel so great ; we feel so connected. The fact is that we wanted to be recognized. So, If we become good listeners to others as well as to God we'll be amazed by the outcome. 

As Bruce Van Fleet tells us, "We have two ears and one mouth for a reason"; When we listen, Really Listen. Have you ever listened to people around you?

Wise Walk!

Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men, but as wise, making the most of your time. Eph 5: 15-16.


Devotion :

Walking in light! How does it feel? There's probably some kind of commentary spinning through your mind, and it has to do something other than what you are doing!!! Many times we think we are good at walking in light because we discipline ourselves for that very purpose!! Smile :), We are on the God's camera !


What matters most now? !!! As we are the dot on the God's timeline, practice a life of thoughtfulness and walk carefully before others.

Eyes - Off Yourself !

And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. 1 Corin 12 : 26


Devotion :

We need each other in this network world. When we are called to step out of our comfort zones, we may not feel good or ready or that we have anything to offer., yet to practice a effective network, just take your eyes off yourself and put others first.

To simply put this point, everyone experiences real good days as well as bad days. When it comes to bad days, how often are we feeling about others/feelings/thoughts/desires? If we walk a mile in their shoes, certainly will be able to know how God is working within us and shaping us. 

Keep Praying

Devote yourselves to prayer keeping, alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving.   Colossians 4 : 2 NASB

Devotion

How effective our prayers are?! We are fortunate to kneel in prayer not more than few minutes in a day. However, expressing silent prayers is good way of communicating with God. 

It is a joyful experience to unite with the Lord who takes away our burdens. Bringing our concerns and plans and seeking His wisdom in all we do...!

Trust in God

It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man. Psalm 118 : 8 


Devotion:

It is impossible to meet everyone's needs and we'll surely disappoint some by making them unhappy and insecure.

If something that anyone can do, and anyone feel comforting is making them to remember that God is the safe place of refuge, comfort and help.

Are U Down?

 I lift up my eyes to the mountains,where does my help come from?
 My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. Psalm 121 : 1 -2

Devotion :

Everyone is sad and emotionally down sometimes. We will get disappointed for so many things like when we dont get the things we hoped for and when we experience a terrible loss, even it is pretty hard to resume from that,there is only one way to look and that is UP. The LORD is always waiting for us to hear from us through our Prayers.
