Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional!
S-cripture:
Hosea 10:12
Sow righteousness for yourselves, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the Lord, until he comes and showers his righteousness on you.
O-bservation:
Our great God addressed Israel during Hosea the Prophet’s time. But now He is addressing you and me for our time. He says to us that if we will invest purity in all that we do, we will reap His never-ending love in return. Jesus also, however, reminds us that this pursuit Never Ends. There will always be “Hard Places” in our hearts that we must deal with on our knees, laying our lives at the altar of God’s Grace. In time, He will pour purity in and over everything we do
A-pplication:
That is the will of God for your life and mine. Sow purity, seek the Lord for the places in our hearts that are not so pure, and in time His purity will begin to overshadow everything we do and everything we are. Once we do that, we CAN’T ever STOP doing that again. Our life on this side of heaven is never a life that we should take for granted. It’s by the Grace of God that we live and move and have our very being. So while we live under the umbrella of God’s purity, we’ve got to wake up and do the same thing again tomorrow. Everyday just … “Make God’s Will Your Will.”
P-rayer:
Dear Jesus,
This AM I am reminded that it’s never over till I meet You one day in heaven. So I choose again this day to make Your will my will. Amen

Since I gave my heart to Jesus, I do not enjoy the pleasure of the world. However, a joke will pop up on my head and I let go my guard for a minute. The search for holiness is a pure heart. I then pray, each day, that the word of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to God.
Thank you for teaching directly from the bible, Pastor you teach us to be diligent in our bible study and to always pray, Also we must keep our attention on JESUS and that we must be led by our emotions
“I love it!”
