Pastor Baker's Daily Devotional
Entry for July 8, 2008

Daily reading: Psalm 83 thru Psalm 86


Key Verses: Psalm 85:10-11


In these two verses I see God the Father and God the Son planning and implementing a heavenly program to bring salvation to all men.  The loving-kindness of God revealed that He should give His only begotten Son as the ultimate sacrifice to atone for the sins of all men.  The truth of Christ convicted Him that He is the only one who could fulfill this position.  In the implementation stage the righteousness of the Father and the peace of the Son kissed in agreement.  This inspired the Holy Spirit to impregnate a young virgin named Mary.  Truth was born into the earth to carry out God's masterful plan.  The program was going well for thirty three years but seemed to come to a devestating end.  The truth of Christ seemed to be crushed to the earth.  Dr. Martin Luther King  Jr. is quoted saying, "Truth crushed to earth will rise again!"  The truth of Christ rose from the earth in all it's glory.  Truth springs from the earth with all power in His hand.  Truth was lifted up to dwar all men unto Him.  This program has been successful for thousands of years because the Righteous Father looks down from heaven and oversees every aspect of the work.  The atonement of the sins of mankind recieved unlimited funding and a case worker (Holy Spirit) is given to all of it's participants.  The reward for all who participate is to dwell in the house of the creator forever.  Thank you God for your masterful plan.  God is Love.

These verses really point out the love relationship we have with God when we are walking in the image of His son. We must be the faithful children that spring up from the earth, so we can receive the righteousness of the Father who looks down from heaven. God’s love and faithfulness to us is never in question, but are we faithful to Him so that we can receive His love? If so, His love will meet our faithfulness as the scripture says, because our hearts will be on Him. The scripture also explains that His righteousness will allow us to have peace, because righteousness and peace kiss each other. I pray that we all remain faithful to God by following Christ so we can receive His righteousness, His love and as a result His peace. In Jesus name, Amen.

Father I thank you that one of your mighty characteristics is unfailing love combine with your son Jesus who is truth. Because of your unfailing love for me. I'm no longer a slave to death. Because of your son Jesus who is truth. I'm no longer living confused about life. I'm righteous because God made me rigtheous. I have peace because God gave the world the prince of peace. Because the seed of truth was in the ground for three days. After the third day he rose from death and God and Jesus master plan overcame the world. Salvation is for those who believe in God's unfailing love and the truth about his Son Jesus Christ

I see how faithfulness and righteousness go hand in hand. To make clear the way for our Father to dwell- we must remain faithful to Him, and live righteously according to His Word. Our Father gives us countless examples of cause and effect in the bible. The decision becomes ours: to choose Him or choose flesh. Flesh never wins- no matter what we may think.

Thank You Father, for another opportunity to be blessed by Your Word. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Love and faithfulness...righteousness and peace...help us, Lord, to be in your masterful plan by wholeheartedly loving you and unconditionally, each other; by being faithful to your will for our lives and in keeping your commandments; by seeking your righteousness; and, by living in your peace and sharing it with others. In Jesus name, Amen.
