Dogged Devotion
September 20, 2010

Maggie doesn’t care much for television. She would rather look out a window than stare at a small screen. Reading doesn’t thrill her either. She has been known to “chew” on books, but only in the strictly literal sense. Nevertheless, when Jay and I read or watch TV, Maggie participates. Even though she doesn’t enjoy what we’re doing, she enjoys being with us. Maggie is our very devoted dog. More than anything (well, just about anything) Maggie wants to be with us.

The word dogged means “determined and persistent.” These words describe Maggie. They should also describe us. When we are devoted to God, we want to be with Him even when He’s doing something that makes no sense to us. We may ask, “Why, Lord?” when He seems angry (Ps. 88:14) or when He seems to be napping (44:23), or when the wicked prosper (Jer. 12:1). But when we remain devoted to God despite our questions, we find fullness of joy in His presence (Ps. 16:11).

Jesus knew that we would have questions. To prepare us for them, He urged us to abide in His love (John 15:9-10). Even when God’s ways are inexplicable, His love is reliable. So we remain doggedly devoted to Him.

Never should our love be just a word,
A passing phase, a brief emotion;
But love that honors Christ our
Lord Responds to Him with deep devotion. —Hess

We find joy when we learn to abide in Jesus’ love.

Read: John 15:9-17

In Your presence is fullness of joy. —Psalm 16:11

Bible in a year:
Ecclesiastes 4-6; 2 Corinthians 12

Today's Devotional is so good! Thank You.

I'm big on stones. Always carrying stones home from any vacation, or trip away from home. Visible reminders. Memories.

Also I pick up rocks and most always have a couple of small rocks in a pocket. One of the ways I use them is ... when tempted to speak harsh words or hearing such from another, I bring out my small rock and ask ... do you want to throw the first stone?

Silly, I suppose; but it works for me to change my direction of thought.

In life it is better to be a stone (made by God) than a brick (made by man). Some Stones are durable and can last way beyond bricks. One day God will give us a white stone with a name on it no one knows. ___________________________________________________________

"Revelation 2:17 (King James Version) 17.He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it." __________________________________________________________

Good morning, Meg.

I was late arriving this morning so I could go thru the Sundays posts.
Your Hummingbird Opener and Scripture was beautiful.
I loved your hummingbird replies.

Thank you for being a perfect hostess.

Good morning, Mayor.

Praying for Paladino and our country.

To be in the presence of the LORD, is joyful, rest, peace, home. We are given that chance ... to be in the presence of the LORD. His Word is His love Letter to us. It is our part to read, spend time and learn about the LORD. Knowing as Jesus said, “He is in me,” is amazing. Why do we fear? The LORD is near.

To be at the heels following our LORD is exactly what I would do if I was a puppy or an older dog. It is where they are happy, and content. We can learn a lot from our canine friends. We do love them.

So why do we ignore the reading and spending time with the HOLY BIBLE as we do?

Surely the essentially dumb TV programs are no excuse.

Remember that Satan is a deceiver ... no matter the form he takes.

God bless and help us in our day, in Jesus name, amen.

Beautiful, TiaPam.
