"After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God . . .

FRIEND-ISH

Devotional 
 
As Christians, we can handle the ebb and flow of relationships, because the future is bright for friendship. One day, we’ll find ourselves in a great multitude that no one can number, from every nation, tribe, people, and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, our friends by our sides, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in our hands, and crying out in a loud voice, 
 
“Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” (Rev. 7:9–10). 
 
One day, God will dwell with us, and we will be His people and He will be our God. And He will wipe away every tear from our eyes, and death shall be no more. And Jesus will say, 
 
“Behold, I am making all things new” (Rev. 21:1–5). 
 
This world, as it is, is not our home. It is not all there is. We do not need to act like the culture, trying to soak up all the joy we can right now before it’s gone. We have the promise of a new life together with everyone who calls on the name of the Lord. The future of our friendship is secure; we can rest in that. So let’s live for something bigger than the expansion of our own social empire. 
 
 Let’s live for God and His kingdom. . . . Because, when our friendships find their purpose in something bigger than ourselves, they will shine with the rare brilliance God intended all along. 
 
When we unite together, not for the worldly purpose of satisfying our own desires for friendship but with the eternal purpose of fighting side by side to see God’s kingdom come on earth, we too will see the beauty and ultimate satisfaction of coming together as true comrades. With Christ at the center, our friendships will shine so brightly that all other versions will be but a flickering candle in the light of the sun. Let’s stop indulging in the counterfeits of the world and instead live for our King and His kingdom. Together.

Revelation 7: 9-10   YouVersion Verse of the Day

"For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it." (Mark 8:35 NIV) 
========================== 
MORE OF HIM, LESS OF ME 
==========================

If my life is surrendered to God, all is well. Let me not grab it back, as though it were in peril in His hand but would be safer in mine!

Surrender. 
 
It’s a word that many see in a negative light. Surrender occurs when a person or group has been overpowered. While that’s a true definition of it, there is more to it. To surrender also means “to give up completely or agree to forego especially in favor of another.” 
 
When we surrender to Jesus, we can agree to forego in favor of His purpose. We get to choose to be a part of His eternal game plan. Jeremiah 29:11 says that His plans are not harmful, but are good, bringing hope, and a bright future. 
 
But we often hold on to our agenda as we attempt to follow Jesus. We don’t want to surrender because we are convinced that our limited vision and wisdom exceed God’s boundless and foolproof strategy. Our full surrender to Jesus usually boils down to one question: 
 
How much will be required of me? 
 
And the answer is simple. Everything. 
 
In Mark 8:34-35, we read that if we want to be Jesus’s disciples and follow Him, we have to deny ourselves and take up our cross. The Greek word for "deny" in Mark, chapter 8 is aparneomai, and it means to “forget one’s self and lose sight of one’s interest.” These two verses are summed up in this way: deny self and die to self. 
 
Surrendering to Jesus means setting aside our selfish appetites and allowing Him to live through us. It’s choosing to trust His faultless plan even when we can’t make sense of it. It’s believing that our eternal joy is more pressing than any momentary pleasure. 
 
But there’s another question that we don’t ask, but should. What is a life surrendered to Jesus filled with? The answer is the same. Everything. 
 
Every spiritual blessing from God is what we get when we stop striving to fulfill our human plans on earth. Yes, trouble will still find its way to our doorstep. Burdens will still leap onto our shoulders. Hardship will still stumble in front of us. But through it all, we get... 
 
*His impenetrable peace. 
 
*His joy that’s indescribable. 
 
*His unexplainable freedom. 
 
*His love that’s outrageous. 
 
*His generous mercy. 
 
*His undeserving grace. 
 
*His soothing presence. 
 
*His reassuring wisdom. 
 
All because we trusted in the plan of the God of the universe instead of our own. 
 
So, if we want to know how to follow Jesus, we just have to ask who is leading us. Either Jesus is leading or we are. Either we choose Jesus or we choose ourselves. It’s not complicated to decipher; it’s just not easy to accomplish. Following Jesus means more of Him, less of us.

Reflection 
 
Think about your life. Are you mapping it out on your own or are you seeking God in everything? Think about this as you go through your day.

Mark 8:35   YouVersion Verse of the Day

"The father of a righteous child has great joy; a man who fathers a wise son rejoices in him." (Proverbs 23:24 NIV) 
=================== 
GODLY AND WISE 
=================== 
Devotional 
 
If you’re a parent, you know that raising children can be the greatest joy you ever experience and the biggest struggle you face. And if you’re a follower of Christ, you likely feel an added burden to make sure your kids grow up to know and love God. 
 
 
 
In Proverbs 23:24, the author points out that joy in parenting comes when our children are two things: godly and wise. So, how do we help our kids become more like Jesus and develop the wisdom they need to navigate the challenges of life? 
 
 
While there are different ways, here are two to start with: 
 
 
1) Find a Christ-centered community. 
 
As a parent, you’ll need to surround yourself with a community that loves Jesus so that way you’re not alone when raising kids gets challenging. If you don’t have that today, commit to taking the next step in that direction—join a small group, get connected at church, invite friends over for dinner, or get to know a neighbor. 
 
 
2) Teach kids to ask for help. 
 
Whether your children are toddlers or teenagers, chances are high that they love being independent. “I can do it myself” might be one of the most common phrases you hear. 
 
 
It's easy to think that developing wisdom comes from doing it all on our own, but James 1:5 reminds us that God will give us wisdom when we ask Him for it. The best way to help your kids develop wisdom is to point them to the source of wisdom. 
 
 
Model what it looks like to seek help from God by praying with your kids—even if it’s uncomfortable. 
 
 
Parenting is difficult, but it can also be rewarding. So as you commit to the daily challenges and joys of taking care of kids, remember this: 
 
 
The greatest contribution you make to the world might not actually be what you do, but who you raise.

"Taste and see that the Lord is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him!" (Psalms 34:8 NLT) 
======================= 
WE CAN'T EXAGGERATE HIS GOODNESS 
======================= 
Devotional 
 
Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him! 
 
Either He is authentically good, or He is not. I would never suggest that we pretend He is different than He is. Nothing is accomplished by allowing our imagination to create our own image of God. He would then be no better than the gods made out of wood or stone, also created by human initiative. Inventing Him in our minds or building Him with our hands is a similarity that is both vain and ultimately destructive. 
 
Discovering who He is and what He is like, in reality, is the only possible way to discover His true goodness. This eternal journey into His infinite goodness is the one we are privileged to embrace. 
 
We can’t create a concept of what He is like that is greater than He really is. He is either greater than we can understand, perceive, describe, or imagine, or He is not God—we are. 
 
Neither can we exaggerate His goodness. We can twist it, pervert it, dilute it, and misrepresent it. But the one thing we cannot do is exaggerate the goodness of God. It will take us all of eternity just to broach the subject of His goodness.

Psalm 34:8   YouVersion Verse of the Day

" . . . that there may be no dissension within the body, but the members may have the same care for one another. If one member suffers, all suffer together with it; if one member is honored, all rejoice together with it. Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it." 
(1 Corinthians 12:25-27 NRSV) 
============================= 
LEARNING FROM THE BODY

I close my eyes, blocking the view outside. Barefoot, I am wiggling the small bones in my right foot, half the width of a pencil and yet strong enough to support my weight in walking. I cup my hand over my ear and hear the familiar “seashell” phenomenon, actually the sound of blood cells rushing through the capillaries in my head. I rub my finger across my arm and feel the stimulation of touch cells, 450 of them packed into every one-inch-square patch of skin. 
 
When my cells work well together, I’m hardly conscious of their existence. Instead, I feel the composite of their activity is known as Paul Brand. My body, composed of many parts, is one. 
 
I picture the human body as a community made up of individual cells. The white blood cell, for example, closely resembles an amoeba, though it possesses far less autonomy. A larger organism determines its duties, and it must sometimes sacrifice its life for the sake of that organism. Yet the white cell performs a singularly vital function. The amoeba flees danger; the white cell moves toward it. A white cell can keep alive a person like Newton or Einstein—or you and me. 
 
The cell is the basic unit of an organism; it can either live for itself, or it can help form and sustain the larger being. The same principle applies to human groups, such as neighborhood communities and even nations. “Ask not what your country can do for you,” President John F. Kennedy challenged Americans, “ask what you can do for your country.” Membership has its privileges and also its conditions. 
 
The apostle Paul explored this analogy in 1 Corinthians 12, a passage that compares the church to the human body. While Paul speaks of hands and feet and ears, I like to think of it in terms of the body’s cells. That analogy conveys a more precise meaning to me because though a hand or foot or ear cannot have a life separate from the body, a cell does have that potential. It can live in the body as a loyal member, or it can cling to its own autonomy. Some cells do enjoy the body’s benefits selfishly while maintaining complete independence—we call them parasites or cancer cells. From the human body, we learn important lessons on how to bear God’s image.

" . . . that there may be no dissension within the body, but the members may have the same care for one another. If one member suffers, all suffer together with it; if one member is honored, all rejoice together with it. Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it."
