Jim,

I am glad to hear that the devotion was a blessing to you. As with many other saints, the life, the character, and the moving incidents in the life of Joseph, are an inspiration. 

Throughout the life of Joseph, we can see God moving His hand in the life of Joseph to use him for the deliverance of the Jewish race, the deliverance of the Egyptians, and we can see the character of Christ.

Truly, Romans 8:28 is evident in Joseph's life, "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."  As Joseph loved God, so should we.

Thank you for your study on the differences of the Convents, and Promises in the scriptures.

I personally appreciate the fine history (short), on the worship of God by the Chinese in ancient China.

Also, I appreciate the following statement, "We show how the natural divisions and terms already in scripture are there to aid the believer in their study."

God bless!

Thank you. As you mentioned, "We need to be good stewards" in our handling of the word of God."

Bennett Spring State Park, a favorite location to visit for all of my family, is located on Highway 64 going west from Lebanon, Missouri approximately 13 miles. Bennett Springs State Park has a large fish hatchery for Rainbow Trout and is a very popular place for fishermen and locals from the area.

Thank you for the encouraging sermon on Psalm 89. As you mentioned, we are in a war: battles will be fought, and sometimes we cannot see the victory in the grand scheme of things. But, God knows what He is doing and victory will come in due time.

Every saint can rest in the promise in Psalm 89:34, "My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips."

"Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen and Amen." Psalm 89:52

Keep up  the good work.

Thank you for the devotion.

Isaiah 57:15 is one of my favorite verses. "For thus saith [THE HIGH AND LOFTY ONE] that inhabiteth eternity, [WHOSE NAME IS HOLY]; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of [a contrite and humble spirit], to revive [the spirit of the humble], and to revive the heart of [the contrite ones]." (Isaiah 57:15)

Thank you for your message. I will listen to the full sermon later.

I appreciate the encouraging devotion on the fires of affliction.

Thank you for the fine devotion.

Thank you very much for this devotion on charity, on love.

I appreciate the definitions that you brought out with Strong's. They were very appropriate and added to the message.

Jerry, I gathered that  this message was preached at a mission. If so, do you still have this ministry?

Looking forward to more of your devotions.

Psalm 89: A wonderful chapter on the mercy and the throne of God.

Thank you for uploading the sermon.

I would like to thank Rebecca for letting me know about the, "Gospel Hymns Instrumental,' website for his devotions song. Note: The original

music selection became unavailable so I changed it to, on October 29, 2019,  the current, "Beautiful Instrumental Hymns." Alan

I do hope that the instrumental hymns are a blessing to you.

May the Lord bless all of you.

"So, after all that has been said we come to the inescapable conclusion that while salvation is free to me, there is a cost. There is great value placed on man’s soul and that price was so great that God had to pay for it himself. John. 3:16"

Thank for the message on 'The Cost of a Soul." The message was a blessing to me

Daniel,

Thank you  for your comments. So often we let the affairs of this life hinder our walk with the Lord.

As your comments were a blessing to me I am sure they are a blessing to the other brethren.

Alan

As we go through the life of Joseph in these devotions, I would like to express to all of you that God was with Joseph in all of the extreme trials that he went through. Joseph, as with all of God's saints, and the favoured nation of Israel, are led through the trials of life in order to know God,  His will, and experience the work of God through our lives for our good and the good of others; Romans 8:28

As we can see in the life of Joseph, and his love for God, and his trust in God, God has been with Joseph and God will work out all things for his good.The Chinese have a saying, a proverb, that may be a blessing to you as it has been to me.

「天理昭彰」Translated into English, it says that, "The law of heaven always prevails."

The will of God will be performed in the life of Joseph as, "... the LORD was with Joseph."

May God richly bless all of you

Thank you for your devotions on Proverbs.

Daniel,

Thank you for your discussion on the Gift of Christ. It is a welcomed addition to this devotion.

May the Lord bless all of you.

Alan

Thank you for the exposition of Psalm 82. Psalm 82 is a very difficult chapter to properly interpret.

I do especially appreciate your quoting Matthew 23:39 spoken from the Jews in the end times.

And, God is the supreme Judge in  Heaven.

Micah3:1 is very appropriate in these days, in every country, in every government, and in every age.

Daniel,

Thank you for bringing out Romans 5:20, "Moreover, the law entered, that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound." Romans 5:20 was a welcomed addition to this devotion on the kindness of God.

Alan

Good message on how the scriptures condemns our sin and convicts us of our sin, and explains how the true saint will repent of known sin in his life. 

Daniel,

I am glad that you like the song, "In the Garden," and the photo.

Brethren,

I do like to have a good song, and photos, that I can place in my devotions. If you have a favorite song, or a website that features songs that you like, please let me know.

Alan

Dan, I appreciate your thoughts. All of the good things that come in our life are from God in heaven; James 1:17

God is our heavenly Father who desires to bless His children. Matthew 7:11,  says, "If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?" The Sermon on the Mount story of the father in Matthew 7:9-11 who gave his son his desires is a testimony of the goodness of God to His children who ask Him for the desires of their heart as according to His will.

Thanks!

It is exciting to see how in these last days the Lord is working among the Chinese people.

God devotion on the characteristics of love. I appreciate the following;

"4. Love cannot be described.
No words adequate enough to describe love. (“so much” as in John 3:16)
Love is seen in action, not in words. (Calvary)."

Thank you Irishman.

Thank you for your comments Omega.
