DEVOTIONALS

ARE YOU FEELING LONELY OR WORTHLESS? THAT’S NOT GOD’S PLAN FOR YOU!

BIBLE PASSAGE:
Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple
and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst?
(1 Corinthians 3:16)

MEDITATION:
A pastor had the privilege of pastoring different churches
in the midst of building campaigns.
It was a faith-growing experience for him to watch God work.
In fact, he said he will never forget the first church
where he sensed God at work – in Fort Pierce, Florida.

There was an elderly architect who was the leading the rebuilding effort
and he said something the pastor would never forget.
As they were looking over the plans the pastor said,
“It can’t be expensive because we don’t have much money.”

The architect replied,
“Oh, my boy. Good architecture is not an arrangement of
beautiful materials. It is a beautiful arrangement of materials.”

The pastor realized at that moment that the Lord can take people like
you and me from a life of sin, and with His grace and His Word,
He can fit us together into a majestic temple of God.

ACTION:
Do you feel like a mixed pile of bricks today?
Maybe you’re wondering if your life has any purpose.
Or perhaps you question why you are even here.
That is not what God wants for you so meditate on this devotional
until you are changed from uncertainty to faith, from sadness to joy,
and from helplessness to empowerment.

Pray,
“Heavenly Father, thank You for considering me as someone of worth.
Help me to look past my own ideas and search for Your purpose for me.
I know that when I am on the path You have charted for me, I can find
a new joy, faith and purpose for living.”

About Don Woodruff

Retired from FedEx and dedicated to sharing God's Word with others. I send out devotionals weekly and have written two books: "The Crucifixion Catalyst / Unspoken Messages From God To Believers" (published and available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble **out of print**) and "I'm Saved Now What?" (unpublished). I am currently working on a third one that will be a Daily Devotional. The devotionals on my Blog have been viewed by people in all 50 states and over 80 foreign countries. I sincerely believe the Lord provides the content for the devotionals and in 2013 He “tasked” me with distributing them and storing them on my Blog. They are free and I will not solicit any donations. I hope you enjoy them and feel free to leave comments if one of them speaks to you personally, or if you have a suggestion.
