WOL DEVOTIONAL POEM
Tables have a shape and form But don’t have a standard norm Steady legs to hold the top Hoping it will never drop On tables we place our meal According to one’s appeal Bad ones may have to be burnt By Jesus some have been turned We can place the bread and wine So with church together dine Every Sunday throughout time It’s one body, yours’s and mine Belong to Him and others All the sisters and brothers Of His pasture we’re His sheep In His love that is so deep
So table helps us to redeem Now belong to His blood stream Like his cross that points the way You’re no longer far away All our old lives will then change As the table we arrange His elements within range Now familiar, nothing strange So to Him you now belong As in lyrics to a song One body, every member Your Lord, you must remember Like tables we do have feet To receive for those in need Have one heart, and have one sole By one table, become whole
Every true believer either bears fruit, bears more fruit, or bears much fruit, and it is all because he or she abides in the true Vine.

One of the responsibilities that parents have is s it to explain how to process thoughts, motor experiences during their development. Parents need to assist their children understand certain life principles because without their guidance, kinds will not develop life’s necessary skills. Shall we pray that they understand the process to walk their Christian walk, following Christ all the way? At school our children are taught that cows gives us milk, and they can find milk in the fridge. But no one teaches them what the process of this side of life, such as that the farmer has to wake up early and do the feeding, cleaning and milking, and how hard this work is, and the daily commitment with no weekends off. This kind of commitment also applies spirituality. We need to pray and teach them the steps of life and the commitment necessary to live our life on earth and serve God who is in heaven. Serving God on earth demands our time and resources and then fit the earthly needs in between. Not the opposite. Seek first the Kingdom of God, His lighthouses, and all things shall be added unto you. This is the real process of life.
THE FAITH of the Thessalonians was genuine. Their salvation was real. Their enthusiasm led them to preach the Word of God throughout the neighboring cities. They sounded forth the Gospel as one sounds forth a trumpet. The word Paul used to express his praise to the church is execheo. It means sound forth like a trumpet or as a thunder. People everywhere know who they were and the truth of the word they proclaimed. From the very beginning, even amid much affliction, the Thessalonian church has been gospel-centered. The church was reflecting the light of Christ and the Gospel with the joy of the Holy Spirit (v. 6). The church was awaiting the return of the risen Christ, who “delivers us from the wrath to come” (v. 10). The gospel story of Christ’s life, death, and resurrection culminate in our final deliverance from the wrath of God (5:9). First Thessalonians is a message of good news from start to finish. Will you sound the Gospel like a trumpet, or even more, like thunder? People need to hear, the Day of the Lord is near. They need to repent!
For not only has the word of the Lord sounded forth from you … but your faith in God has gone forth everywhere … 1 Thess 1:8
For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food, for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child. But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil. Hebrews 5:12-14

WOL Marriage Devotion
THE HARMONIOUS MARRIAGE
It came almost as a warning, and frankly, I needed one at the time. I was a young husband, and during an intense time of prayer, I sensed God telling me very directly that Lisa wasn’t just my wife, but she was also His daughter and I was to treat her accordingly. This was a moment of revelation for me, and the force of this insight grew once I had kids of my own. If you want to get on my good side, just be good to one of my kids. Conversely, if you really want to make me angry, pick on my kids. Be mean to them. My blood pressure will go up if your name is even mentioned because I’d much rather you mess with me than with one of my kids. So when I realized I was married to God’s daughter—and that you, women, were married to God’s sons—everything about how I viewed marriage changed. God feels about my wife—His daughter—in an even holier and more
passionate way than I feel about my own daughters. Suddenly, my marriage was no longer about just me and one other person; it was very much a relationship with a passionately interested third partner. I realized one of my primary forms of worship throughout the rest of my life would be honoring God by taking care of a woman who would always be, in His divine mind, “His little girl.” We often hear pastors contemplate the fatherhood of God, a wonderful and true doctrine. But if you want to change your marriage, extend this analogy and spend some time meditating about God as Father-in-Law. Because when you marry a believer, He is! * Have you ever thought of your spouse as the son/daughter of God? How does this change your relationship (both actions and attitudes) with him/her?
