Daily Devotions

March 3

Like a child being scolded for grabbing a cookie before dinner, we often do not associate rules with joy. When we read about God’s laws in the Bible, what we tend to focus on is the restriction. You may even ask yourself how the Mosaic law–full of its sacrifices and commandments–can bring life?

In the Parable of the Talents, the servants were entrusted with their master’s property for the duration of his journey. He gave different amounts to each, but all three were given something. The two that used what they were given to create something more were praised. The one who simply hid away the resources was chastised for not understanding who the master was, and for not working to make more out of what he had been given.

I commonly hear my husband get frustrated with two types of people in his workplace. First, the ones that are prideful and won’t admit they don’t know everything. Second, ignorant people that don’t realize they have only skimmed the surface of a topic. In either scenario there is an unwillingness to learn new things and it tends to hinder their work. Hearing him talk about this made me realize that there is an application in caregiving.

Writing these devotionals has brought up a lot of memories, both good and bad, from my time as a caregiver for my youngest child. We knew before she was born that she was going to require multiple heart surgeries in order to survive. Comforting her in the hospital became routine under the circumstances. But that comfort took a different shape as she got older.

My two teenagers are just a few years from being legal adults and moving out on their own. It has made me start thinking through all the things I want them to know before that happens. Can they do their own laundry? Are they able to cook for themselves? Will they be able to budget their money?

Advent is a season of waiting, which is one of the hardest things for us to do. We wait for healing, for prayers to be answered, and we wait, hoping things will be better tomorrow than they were yesterday.

This is one of four Suffering Servant Songs that prophesied the coming Messiah. It explains how the Holy One will suffer and die for our sins but triumph over death, fulfilling the promises of God.

There are many times in life that we are called to step out in faith. We cannot see the end of our journey the way God can and we must trust in his ability to work things together.

At the end of his life, King David had his son Solomon anointed as the next king over Israel. Then he admonished him to keep to the ways of the LORD, walking in his statutes, his rules, his commandments and his testimonies. David knew personally how important it was to not break God’s commandments and he made certain he passed along this lesson to his son.

Yesterday we talked about the time the Israelites told their prophet Samuel they wanted him to anoint a king to rule over them. God sent a man to Samuel that would save his people from the Philistines. Saul looked the part: he was handsome, tall, and from a wealthy family, however, his heart was not for the LORD.
