For to Me to Live Is …

Introduction: How would you complete this sentence? “For to me to live is ____”?

After being a persecutor of the Church and a self-righteous Pharisee, Saul—who later became Paul—discovered life’s most important Treasure: Jesus Christ!

Have you found that Pearl of great price, the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star, the One who was and is and is to come, the Firstborn of the dead, the Lover of our soul, the Creator of heaven and earth, the Rock of Ages, the Great Shepherd of the sheep, the King of Glory, the Chief Cornerstone, the Light of the world, the Word of God, and finally, the One who will come again as the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords?!!

By the way, what did he mean when he said, “To die is gain”?

These two discussions we will explore in this devotion.
 
1. Fill in the blank! (Phil. 1:21) – “For to me to live is ____!”
 

How would many people finish this sentence?

“For to me to live is ____ to make money? To be happy? To have a bigger house? A fancier car? To have another spouse? To fix my children or grandchildren? To get a better job? To not be depressed or discouraged? To live my dreams? To have fun? To travel places? To not have to put up with others? To retire? To be forgiven? To have a better family?”

On and on…

Well, keep in mind, the man who was inspired to write this was incarcerated in Rome while waiting to die. Circumstances did not look good. No doubt, the words of Jesus concerning his suffering probably echoed in his heart.

After his conversion, he was instructed to go to a house where Ananias lived. As he arrived, Ananias questioned our Lord’s will for this persecutor of the Church named Paul. But here was God’s response:

“But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel: For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name’s sake.” (Acts 9:15-16)

Suffering is on God’s agenda. Jesus Christ suffered for us; actually, He was crucified for the payment of our sins! Peter wrote to clarify that believers and followers of Jesus will face the same (1 Pet. 2:21-24).

Think about this: Since Jesus Christ bought us with a costly price—His redeeming blood (1 Cor. 6:19-20)—does it not make sense that our life should focus on His will for us?

If we believe that, then we, along with Paul, can say with a clear conscience, “For to me to live is CHRIST!”

Will you say it?
 
2. Fill in this blank! (Phil. 1:21) – “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain ____?”
 

Gain what? How about gaining a better body? Truthfully, our bodies are wearing out! But the good news is one day we will have a brand-new body!

How wonderful will it be to have no more hurts, no pain, no sorrow, and no more death?

Besides that, according to the last chapters in the book of Revelation, we will have a brand-new home called the New Jerusalem. Won’t that be wonderful?!

There will be no more light bills, rent, cell phones, insurance, termites, or taxes!! There will be Perfect Peace at last!!!
 

Conclusion: So we can now honestly say, “For to me to live is CHRIST, and to die is gain.”

You know, that makes life worth the living!

But until then,

Resolving Issues

Introduction: Do you have a plan for resolving issues? Are there certain guidelines to go by when you are facing a conflict? In this devotion, we will look at how the Lord resolved this difference between two CHRISTians, actually leaders.
 
1. Peter had a lapse back! (Gal. 2:11) – “But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.”
 
What happened to Peter? Even though he was converted to Jesus, he soon discovered the battle of the flesh vs. the Spirit. Surprisingly, as he was caught off guard, he reverted back to the old Judaism tradition of righteousness. But using wisdom, gentleness, and yet decisiveness, Paul loved him enough to correct his error.
 
Question: Do you sometimes lapse back to the dictates of the flesh? Secondly, do you know any CHRISTians that may have slipped into a similar pattern? How should you handle it?
 
2. Paul lovingly confronted him about the situation! (Gal. 2:12, 13, 14) – “For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision. And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation. But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?”
 
Can you see what happened? On the one hand, Peter, as it were, ate ham—being a Jew—with the Gentiles without any wrong feelings. He was free from the law by being justified through grace alone, by faith alone, in Christ alone. However, when his Jewish friends arrived, he caved into their old way of religion, which was abstaining from certain foods, etc.
 
Please note that while it was made clear from the Jerusalem council that Jews could still practice that law or custom, they were not to infringe on the Gentiles by demanding they do the same. Remember, even though you have freedom to do certain things, it may create a stumbling block for a weaker CHRISTian.
 
Conclusion: Being a stumbling block can happen at a moment’s notice; i.e., going to see a movie, buying certain items at the grocery store, using a dirty joke, etc. Therefore, we must conclude that whether we are lovingly correcting a brother or sister or we ourselves needing correction, it should be done with the motive of restoring one another while examining ourselves with humility. Jesus is our role model and the Holy Spirit our enabler.
 
Which are you at the moment?

How a Nation or People Get Off Track

Introduction: There is a parallel between Judah and America. Technically speaking, Jeremiah’s message was to the southern kingdom of Israel called Judah. Keep in mind, this was after the northern kingdom of Israel was overtaken by the Assyrians in 722 B.C. His warning of God’s impending judgment can be read in the chapters preceding this ninth chapter.
 

What was God’s reasoning for bringing judgment and chastisement? The answer is found in their apostasy—politically, religiously, and nationally. When a nation depends upon and boasts of its wealth and intellectual achievements without giving God credit, know this: they are headed for a fall.

Follow Jeremiah’s warning:
 
1. When man glories in his own wisdom or riches, he is headed for a fall! (Jeremiah 9:23) – “Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches.”
 

After all, it is the Almighty who gives man the ability to gain wealth, along with reason and understanding. The prophet Daniel confirms this truth: “Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding.” (Daniel 2:20-21)

Furthermore, the Psalmist spoke about man’s riches: “And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High? Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.” (Psalm 73:11-12)

Paul, under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost, reveals the danger of not giving God glory because of greed: “But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.” (1 Timothy 6:6-10)

What do you think of these statements? Fairly self-explanatory, isn’t it?
 
2. When we give God the glory for everything, that gives Him delight! (Jeremiah 9:24) – “But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.”
 
America must learn, like Judah, that our God deserves the glory! He will get it one way or another. Are you giving Him the glory? Do you ever rob the Lord Jesus of the glory He deserves?
 

Conclusion: Eventually, the nation of Israel learned this lesson. After seventy years of captivity, they returned to their homeland. Yet, in the providence of God, they were overtaken once again in 70 A.D. by the Romans and scattered abroad. However, they returned as a nation on May 14, 1948.

Until this day, they are being blessed, but not without struggles. Futuristically, Israel will be overpowered by the Man of Sin—Antichrist—until Jesus Christ comes in His Second Coming, inaugurating His kingdom, and there shall be no end. Although blinded now, many will look upon their Messiah for their salvation.

Remember, these Scriptures were written for our example.

Things You Can’t Fix

Introduction:  Are you a fixer? When something breaks, is your goal to “fix it”? How about when it comes to relationships? What about the government? Your attitude? By the way, how do you handle it when you want to fix people but cannot? Circumstances but cannot?
 
This devotion should “hit home” for all of us reading it. Here are a few biblical guidelines as this writer ponders these challenges. Hopefully, it will both encourage and give direction on “Things We Can’t Fix.”
 
1. Exchange Total Control from Our Hands to Our Lord’s! (Isaiah 55:8-9) – “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
 
Since we do not look at situations the same way as our Lord, it will help to release our attempt to be “in control” to the One who is really in control! Will you do that right now?
 
2. Pray for Our “Will” to Line Up with God’s “Will”! (John 7:17) – “If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.”
 

Obeying God is not always easy, but it is rewarding. Checking our motives constantly is a must—it should be on the priority list.

By the way, some things in Scripture are clearly spelled out as God’s will, whereas other things are not. Therefore, it becomes the task of each believer to search out and seek to know His will in every matter. That tells us that we must master the Word of God in order to discover biblical principles that lead to God’s will.

Finally, after finding it, the next step is doing it. Are you searching out His will not only for your life but for relationships and circumstances?
 
3. Follow the Prompting of the Holy Spirit! (Romans 8:14) – “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.”
 
In addition to searching out His will through His Word and prayer, as followers of Jesus Christ, we must be sensitive to the leading of His Holy Spirit. Are you taking time to wait upon the Lord? Can you hear Him speak?
 
4. Determine to Obey Jesus with a Humble Heart Regardless of the Cost! (James 4:6-7) – “But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God.”
 

It seems that we try to figure everything out first and then ask Jesus for His opinion. Is it true that, at times—whether deliberately or not—we have already made up our minds about what we’ve decided to do and then want our Lord to get in on it?

Before you say no, stop and be honest. Truthfully, after over 40 years in ministry, along with personal experiences and counseling perhaps several thousand people, unfortunately, this is often the case.
 
5. Check Your Emotions at the Door and Choose the Way of the Cross! (Matthew 10:38-39) – “And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.”
 
The way of the cross leads home! When we die to self, Jesus lives! While we cannot bear His cross, which represented the total payment for sin, He made it clear that if we are going to really follow Him, there will be a cross involved—daily! No pain, no gain! Pick it up and go.
 
Conclusion: Although this list is certainly not exhaustive, hopefully, it will give you a checklist to go over when attempting to fix things that are broken. Remember, there are some things that we cannot fix. But instead of focusing on those, fix the things you can. And last but not least—pray, study, and trust Jesus to distinguish the difference.

Catching a Glimpse of Something Ahead

Introduction: Are you looking forward to what is ahead? Our hope lies in what is before us. We have the assurance of not only heaven but also rewards.
 
No doubt this was what motivated the apostle Paul even when he was suffering in prison. Do you ever feel hopeless? How can you live with confident expectation?
 
1. Our Salvation (Deliverance) Depends on Our Expectation! (Phil 1:19) – “For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ.”
 

The word “salvation” is σωτηρία (so-tay-ree’-ah), which means deliverance. Was Paul talking about deliverance from prison or this life into heaven? Most believe the latter—heaven. Perhaps he knew he would never be released from prison. But he also believed heaven was in the picture, as he makes mention of it in the following verses.

Are you looking forward to heaven?
 
2. Our Expectation Depends on Our Preparation! (Phil 1:20) – “According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.”
 

I love the meaning of the phrase “earnest expectation.” It is the word ἀποκαραδοκία, which means an earnest longing. At the same time, it pictures a person straining their neck with all their might to catch a glimpse of something that is ahead.

In other words, Paul was looking ahead to when he would stand before Jesus at the Judgment Seat. More specifically, that he would be ready. And God forbid that he should be ashamed.

Are you gazing toward that time? Would you be ashamed if Jesus came today?
 
3. Our Preparation Looks Forward to Jesus Christ’s Glorification! (Phil 1:20) – “According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.”
 

Both his goal, as well as ours, should be that Jesus Christ is glorified in our life and death.

Is that what you desire?

 

Conclusion: To summarize: How can you stay motivated until the end of your journey called life?
These certain stepping stones are found in this text, namely these three: Salvation, Expectation, and Preparation—but they ultimately end in Glorification… Jesus being glorified.

AI – The Big Lie – Jesus Coming in the Sky

Introduction: AI technology has taken the world by storm, all the way from China to Saudi Arabia, to America and beyond. But where is it going? How could it be used by the Antichrist? Is the stage being set? While on the one hand, there have been needed breakthroughs with this new wave of technological advances. And yet, on the other hand, its capability appears to be terribly frightening. From developing new military weaponry to helpful economical advancements, along with the latest state-of-the-art medical breakthroughs, artificial intelligence is both scary as well as a blessing.
 
So, looking into the future from a biblical worldview, where are we headed?
 
1. AI and the Big Lie! (2 Thess. 2:7-11)“And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders.”
 
The Antichrist is coming soon. Here in this text, the apostle Paul, led by the Spirit, described this one who is possessed by Satan, otherwise known as his puppet, the Antichrist. Did you notice that he has miracle-working power? Deception is his game! He will be the counterfeit Christ. But unfortunately, many will not know the difference. False religion, pseudo-miracles, and dirty lies will mark his territory. Can you see how AI, with all of its ability to masquerade falsehoods, could be used by the Antichrist? Stay awake!
 
2. AI and the Loud Cry! (2 Thess. 2:4) – “…that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.”
 
After pretending to be a friend of Israel for three years by protecting them with a “PEACE PLAN,” this embodiment of the devil called the Antichrist will move into the temple. There he will proclaim to be God. Imagine the chaos following the rapture of the Church. Even as we speak, there are wars, pestilences, and economic woes setting the stage for the Antichrist to conquer the world for a brief time. Can you see how men and women are being deceived today by believing lies?
 
3. AI and Jesus in the Sky! (2 Thess. 2:1)“Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him.”
 
Here is the good news! Our hope is not in the government. It is not in economic success. It is not in military might. Rather, it is watching and being ready for the Bridegroom to return for His bride, the Church! Are you ready? Do you need to get others ready?
 
Conclusion: Since Jesus has forewarned us about what is ahead with the “Big Lie” and the “Loud Cry,” perhaps partnering with AI, what should His people be doing? What about reaching up in prayer, reaching out to share, and reaching in with care? While no one will be able to stop AI or the Big Lie, we need to be ready for Jesus Christ coming in the Sky!

Using Your Influence

Introduction:  Are you wanting to be used by our Lord? Would you like to “Make a Difference” in someone’s life? What is the key to being used? How can you continue to be a blessing to others? This devotion will explore the answers to those questions.
 
Paul, inspired by the Holy Spirit, is writing to his son in the Lord, Timothy. Please take note of what he says.
 
1. Regardless of your age, God wants to use YOU! (1 Tim 4:12) – “Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.”
 

Check out the word “despise.” Do you know what it means? Here is the word: καταφρονέω. It means to dislike, or it can even have to do with scorning or looking down upon. The Lord is saying, do not let anyone look down upon you, Timothy, because of your age or experience. Conversely, he was urged to show others by his lifestyle. In other words, his “walk” and “talk” would be on display for others to see, which should point them to the GRACE of God, the LOVE of Jesus, and the POWER of the Holy Spirit.

Can others see a difference in your lifestyle compared to the world’s lifestyle? Does your life exhibit faith in Jesus, love for the brethren, and a clean lifestyle? If not, what changes need to take place?
 
2. Regardless of your past, God wants to use YOU! (1 Tim 4:13-14) – “Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.”
 

What was meant by the phrase “attendance to reading”? In the context of this letter, the phrase ἀνάγνωσις meant recognition. It also had to do with public reading, more specifically the Law and the Prophets in the synagogue or church.

Next, what does “exhortation” mean? Technically, it means to comfort or encourage.

Finally, what does the word “doctrine” mean? It actually means to teach or instruct. A good study for you to do would be to examine all the references to this word “doctrine,” especially when it refers to “sound doctrine.” In other words, there can be unsound or false teaching in contrast to sound teaching. Are you sound in your teaching?
 

Conclusion: If we are going to use our influence for the glory of the Lord, then we must not only teach the right thing but also live the right life.

Will you take a moment and do a self-evaluation?

Triumphant in Christ

Introduction: As a Christian, do you need encouragement? Try reading this passage while letting its truth sink in! Take a moment out of your busyness to build up your spiritual batteries. If these verses do not recharge your heart, something is wrong.

Writing to the Church of Colossae under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost, the deity of Jesus Christ was on the forefront. Why? Because of the misinformation—false teaching—which had infiltrated the Church. However, as a skilled soldier of the cross, the flaming missionary Paul, who was incarcerated at the time, totally debunks the false teaching.

Question: Are you able to defend the faith? Check out these three irreversible truths.
 
1. Once was dead in sin but made alive in Jesus! (Col 2:13) – “And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses.”
 

The Bible teaches that every human is born with a sin nature (Rom 5:12). Yet, at the same time, a sinner who is born “dead in trespasses and sin” (Eph. 2:1-4), he or she can be “quickened together” with Jesus. By the way, the word “quickened” is συζωοποιέω, which literally means to make alive. That is, once regenerated or quickened by the Holy Spirit, an exchange takes place. He comes inside of the believer to bring life to the one who was spiritually dead.

Have you been made alive? Please notice a sign of life in a person is their hunger for food. Are you hungry for spiritual food? Another reason for not being hungry is sickness. CHRISTians can get spiritually sick. So take in the Word and stay healthy.
 
2. Once was guilty but now released and set free in Christ! (Col 2:14) – “Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross.”
 

What does the word “blotting out” indicate? The word is ἐξαλείφω, and it means to wipe out or to blot out. It can mean to erase or even to obliterate.

Do you get the picture? Through the cross of Christ, including His cleansing blood, the believer’s sins are wiped away, removed, forgotten, forgiven, released, blotted out. Think about it. All the sins that you have ever committed are erased in the eyes of the God of the Bible.

If we could just do the same—by erasing the sins committed against us—there is no doubt that we would experience a freedom unparalleled to anything else. Will you thank God right now?
 

3. Once was dominated by satanic influences but now overcomers through Jesus Christ! (Col 2:15) – “And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.”

The word “triumphing” is θριαμβεύω, which pictures One leading in triumphal procession. That One was Jesus Christ. Since He is victorious over the satanic influences, then we too can be overcomers in Him!

Are you conquering through Him or being conquered by our adversaries?
 

Conclusion: These threefold works of Jesus should both motivate us and cause us to evaluate the “gift” of knowing Him and letting Him be known. This is great news in a bad news world!

So pass out the Good News!
 
Love y’all,
Dr. Randy Reese

 



Resting in God’s Peace

Introduction: Do you have trouble sleeping? Obviously, this is not meant for the daytime! How can you have a peaceful night of sleep regardless of your circumstances?
 
Here are several biblical principles on sleep and rest.
 
1. Sweet “SLEEP” during a troubled time! (Psalm 3:5) – “I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.”
 

King David was on the run… running for his life. Believe it or not, his own son Absalom was attempting to usurp authority over the king, his father. But as you read, “I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.”

The key was that God held him together. The word “sustained” is סָמַך (samak), which means to lean or to support. It has the idea of upholding and actually relates to rest. Isn’t it amazing how God can do that when we trust Him? Truthfully, we are being sustained by our Lord these days. Will you thank Him?
 
2. Lay down and SLEEP in PEACE! (Psalm 4:8) – “I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.”
 

Think about it… Sleeping in peace, feeling secure! The word “safety” is בֶּטַח (betach). It has to do with security and safety. The word can also mean confidence and trust.

Do you feel secure? Safe? Confident? Peaceful?
 
3. SLEEP without fear! (Proverbs 3:24) – “When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.”
 
Instead of feeding our fear, Solomon is writing to fight our fear and feed our faith. Remember, God has not given us a spirit of fear… (2 Timothy 1:7).
 

Conclusion: Since our security, identity, and destiny are found in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, we can SLEEP in PEACE because our trust and faith are in Him.

So, SLEEP on, my friend, with His sweet rest!
 
Love y’all,
Dr. Randy Reese


Fully Sanctified

Introduction: Do you know what the word “sanctified” means? Basically, it has to do with setting apart. In other words, God wants to set His people apart from the world. There should be a difference! Can others tell that you are different in your walk and talk?

So how does that happen? This brief devotion will study the subject.
 

1. Fully Sanctified Includes Our Body Being Set Apart! (1 Thess. 5:23) – “And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

By the way, the word “sanctified” is ἁγιάζω (hag-ee-ad’-zo), which means to sanctify or to make holy. It can also mean to consecrate. But basically, it has to do with being set apart.

Do you know why God wants to set His people apart? So that the world will see Jesus Christ working in and through His people, producing a peculiar lifestyle that reflects His glory. And in so doing, they will desire the same by developing a personal relationship with Him. More specifically, Christian disciplines concerning bodily habits can be an indicator of this amazing transformation.
 

2. Fully Sanctified Includes Our Soul—Mind, Will, and Emotions! (1 Thess. 5:23) – “And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

When Christ comes into the life of a believer, He changes it from the inside out! Starting in the mind, will, and even emotions, “the hidden life in Christ” is seen. It is an extraordinary life, which is impossible to live outside of the power of the Holy Spirit.

Can you tell our Lord is changing the way you think, feel, and react?
 

3. Fully Sanctified in Our Final State Will Take Place When Jesus Christ Comes Again! (1 Thess. 5:23) – “And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Finally, the process will be finished. When Jesus comes for His children in the rapture, we will take on a brand-new body. That is, it will be a glorified body, not limited or restricted like this earthly body.

What will that be like?
 

Conclusion: Can you say you are being “Fully Sanctified”? Do you look forward to the day when you will be finally and fully sanctified?

What a day that will be!
