WOL DEVOTIONAL POEM
We have “ch” in the start And Ch in the end part Then ur in the middle When this forms the church riddle In the midst of your own choice Make sure you hear His voice People often make a search So to find the correct church Ch may stand for channel Quite large or just a paddle Moses opened the red sea So to set God’s people free But some channels let us down In deep waters we can drown Water channels full of sin Against currents you can’t win
With such channels on your side You must pray to kill your pride Seek forgiveness, ride His boat Toward Him you start to float It’s the Lord that we must fear With all awe His name revere With His wisdom kill that doubt Holy spirit helps us out In this way His church we build Through our calling, with our guild To his channel we must tune So each other we can prune Thus in Him we can abide Then we have Him by our side While together we bear fruit He’s the way, the life and truth
Exodus 14:16; Proverbs 1:7; John 14:6, 15:1-17.

We all know that we are privileged that God loves us unconditionally. This is not new news for those who know God and are walking with Him. He graced us with our children and trusted them to us, to guide them into His plan. His grace and mercy is with us all the time, and it is a pity that many do not recognize God’s work in their life. It may be the reason why many parents cannot exercise it with their own children. We have God as our Father and we need to be godly for our children. It would be helpful, maybe, that parents, will be graceful and merciful with their children. This does not mean they allow the kids to do what they want, but rather, correct and discipline appropriately, as well. God’s love is seen in His grace and mercy, and yet he disciplines “his children.” If not, we would be illegitimate spiritual children. Therefore, God calls us His children. In return we speak of His goodness, grace and mercy as we share the Good News. Let our children also share the good news as we disciple them in the grace and mercy of God.
THESE VERSES speak of Paul’s commitment to the Gospel. He was a person that consistently suffered for the Gospel’s sake. His understanding of how much people needed the Gospel kept pushing him to go from city to city to proclaim, teach, and persuade people about their need to turn away from sin and give their life to Jesus. Like his Lord, Paul suffered physically and shamefully because of the message he bore to the wicked people, whose lifestyle demonstrated the evil of debauchery. Yet, God’s love in him and his passion for people emboldened him to keep pressing on preaching the Gospel that is the power of salvation to all those who believe. Do you dare to be bold like Paul? Would you allow God’s love to saturate you in such a way that, regardless of the outcome, speak out the need for repentance from sin to Christ?
2 THESS 2:1-2
For you yourselves know, brothers, that our coming to you was not in vain. But though we had already suffered and been shamefully treated at Philippi, as you know, we had boldness in our God to declare to you the gospel of God in the midst of much conflict.

WOL Marriage Devotion
THE HARMONIOUS MARRIAGE
If God showed us a timeline of all the occurrences that would happen in our lives, we would most assuredly start hyperventilating and bargaining with Him to reroute the path ahead of us. In no way, shape or form would we ever think we could survive such difficult circumstances. Death of a loved one, infidelity by a spouse, the loss of every material possession we own. It’s more than our finite minds can even begin to fathom. And because of that, He doesn’t show us. Instead, He gives us the grace we need to get through things as they come. Ever been here? To the place of life-altering change within a matter of hours or minutes? You’re going about your day, doing your daily routine, clearly expecting to find what you normally find on that day, and then BAM! Nothing is the same and everything is different. Whether your marriage has endured betrayal that left you wishing for death or you’ve just managed to become roommates in a stale, marital environment, I pray you find hope for the next six days of this plan. But you have to make the effort. You can’t want your way into a healthy action.
You have to commit to doing it. You have to step through the pain and difficulty, through the sacrifice and discomfort that will be present on this journey. My pastor, Craig Groeschel, says, “It’s often the things that no one sees that result in the things that everyone wants.” It is a daily choice to do the things that need to be done to have what we want to have. Hope seems to be in short supply these days. Maybe that’s because we are looking to the wrong sources to find it. It is not found in a possession or a human being. It is found in the One True God. The Creator of the Universe. Our Abba. Let’s seek Him like never before in our happy days and in our brutally difficult days. For He is always near and will never, ever, ever forsake us. Food for thought: Where is your marriage today? Would you rank it high, low or somewhere in the middle? Discuss this with your spouse and name one thing that you will commit to doing to begin to see change.
