Obeying the Gospel
Hastening the Coming (November 7)
As Peter wrote to his beloved brethren, we should be “waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God” (2 Peter 3:12). Oh, to hear the glorious, triumphant sound of the trumpet of God! May we hear it much sooner rather than later!
Diligently Seeking God
The Pleasure of Pleasing God (November 7)
Our hearts are happiest when we want the same things that God wants and when those things are granted to us by His grace. To know that our deeds have been harmonized with our Father’s will is a wonderfully refreshing feeling.
Reaching Forward
In the Heart of God, We Are Individuals (November 7)
In Christ, we each have a relationship with Him that is absolutely unique. God would have sent His Son to the cross if you were the only person who needed to be saved, and having saved you, He loves the way you respond to His goodness.
Enthusiastic Ideas
Proactiveness (November 7)
Many things are beyond our control, but proactive people are glad to exert a good influence wherever they can, and they recognize that the one thing that always lies in their control is also the most important: their inward character.
Challenging Every Person to Take God More Seriously
Is devotion to God your primary passion? Our daily devotionals and Bible studies are designed to help you pursue this goal. More than mere fluff, our readings are “devotionals with a difference.” If you’re ready to reach toward spiritual growth, we’re here to support you.
Devotional Meditation
Rather than thinking about God casually, meditation is a deep pondering of His truth. When we meditate devotionally, the facts about God are given more than a "passing glance." We think about them intently and lovingly so their meaning can truly sink in.
Daily Devotional Books
Unfortunately, many of the best-selling devotionals are popular not because they produce greater devotion to God but because they give the reader a sugary "high." They aim to make the reader feel better, but they do little to stimulate significant spiritual growth.
Devotion to God
Devotional strength must be built up by constant, disciplined practice over time. Paul reminded his young friend Timothy of this when he said, "Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all" (1 Timothy 4:15).
Themes for Families to Talk About
DFBS 346 – Like Noah, we ought to have an obedient trust in God
In areas where we may not understand the rationale for what God commands, let’s trust that God knows what He is doing. Because we have faith that God is wise and that He will never lead us astray, let’s obey whatever God’s will is.
