Though characterized by brevity, the spiritual lessons and counsel provided in this book are valuable and thought-provoking. Many of the contributors were known by their congregation to use such lessons at the beginning or conclusion of a church worship; readers may opt to receive such wisdom at the beginning or end of each day.Subjects covered in this book range from the sermons of Christ, the qualities of an upstanding believer, and the overcoming of adversity. The practices of Christianity, such as the confession of sins and the use of prayer to communicate to God, or request His assistance, serve as recurring themes. How frequent trials and adversities affect us and those around us, and how we may draw upon our spiritual strength to surmount such challenges.After the conclusion of the year's devotions we also find a series of prayers for occasions of the year, such as Easter and Christmas Day.-Print ed.
God's Oaks of Righteousness: Working Together to Develop Servant Christians
by Linda PyleIn our society it is easy for Christians to become so caught up in our own responsibilities and schedules that we fail to recognize the many opportunities God places in our lives. There are a variety of people that cross our paths every day with physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. Some may be passing through our lives for the first, and maybe the last, time. Others may be in our lives for just a short time. Those who are in our inner circle of friends and family will be with us for the majority of our lives.Whoever these people are, God has placed them in our lives for a purpose. We have the privilege - if we choose to accept this mission - of sharing the love, grace and mercy of God with them. When we look at those around us in the way in which God sees them, we are compelled to reach out to them.Knowing that each day we live on this earth is ordained by God should give us the motivation to use every opportunity to serve the Lord and bring glory to Him. It should give us a reason to invest in the lives of others as we learn of their special needs which God has gifted us to meet. In so doing we can be part of the exciting ministry of developing God&’s Oaks of Righteousness.God&’s Oaks of Righteousness was written to challenge and motivate Christians to recognize opportunities to minister in our world. Everyone has a place in which they have been gifted to serve, whether as a large group leader with a vivacious personality; as a quiet, caring person working one-on-one praying for God&’s intervention in the lives of others; as one willingly giving time and energy to supply for the needs they recognize; or somewhere in-between.God&’s Oaks of Righteousness was written to reinforce the concept that we are working together as one united body of Christ. We each have our own area of ministry and spiritual gifts to use for Him. As a team we rejoice together and give God the glory for the spiritual maturity developed in others. We rejoice in their strength to stand firm and live a life honoring God because of their personal relationship with Christ and the Holy Spirit working in and through them.
