A Devotional Study of the Living Word of God

Psalm 119:48 Being totally committed to the Commandments of God is like a total workout with the body, soul and spirit. God is totally committed to you. He has a perfect Plan for your life, He sent His Son to rescue your soul and He provides minute by minute guidance through the Holy Spirit.

Good Morning

Someone asked me once about physical exercise on submarines. How does a person stay fit with four full meals a day? The fourth meal on most Navy ships is called midrats, or better titled midnight rations. Midnight rations are sometimes foods that are left over from the evening meal, but can be soup and sandwiches. Sailors can expect a full breakfast, lunch and dinner along with the midrats each and every day. With all of that food and no exercise, problems with health and weight can develop, that is; if you are inclined to be at every meal served. Most men miss a meal or two during the day because of sleep, or preference. This helps, but what really helps is daily exercise. Larger submarines have a small workout area, but others simply have a work space area that is big enough to run in place. The best method of running in place is to have a piece of rope about ten feet in length and a bicycle inner tube. Tie the rope to some solid object, then to the tube. Then get inside the ring of the tube, take the slack out of the rope and tube and start jogging. Now that works real well, in fact; if you cannot afford one of those treadmills from five hundred to a thousand dollars a bike tube and a piece of rope is less than ten dollars and I think it works better. One thing I miss is midnight soup and sandwiches and a glass of milk, maybe I should try that at home here? I wonder if Louise might be interested? Hummm!

Acts 14

Acts 14:19-20 And though I have, or bestow... (1 Corinthians 13:2-3) The strongest power in the universe and on this earth is the love of God. All of the forces of good and evil collectively, cannot match the power of love. Paul gives his body to the moment, religion attacks. He is stoned, beaten until he is thought to be dead. His love for the gospel of Jesus Christ put him there, and it is the love of God who through the disciples and prayer that raise him up for another day to preach the gospel.

Acts 13:21-28 “How can you tell whether or not you have the true gospel?” Paul gives us three tests.

First – What is the source of the gospel? Where did it come from? The answer to these two questions is that the gospel of Jesus Christ is divine revelation from God. The gospel is authentic because it comes from the only source of absolute truth. God Himself. Hebrews 1:1-4

Second – By the power to save. The true gospel is the gospel of grace, you cannot beg for it, buy it, borrow it from a friend, steal it, you cannot learn it or earn it. The gospel saves us because it is a gift of grace and not personal effort. Ephesians 2:1-10

Third - The Subject; in order to experience biblical faith, there must be an object or subject to rest a faith on. It is the grace of Jesus Christ, Jesus alone is the subject. From Genesis to Revelation, the Word of God is all about Jesus. His reputation is displayed to the universe and to this earth that there is no other source. Philippians 2:5-11

For this truth I praise God and daily accept that Jesus Christ is my LORD always. The joy of this truth in my soul today, is just as fresh as the morning of May 21, 1975 when I first trusted God; a day I will never forget!
