Faith and Thought

The Christian life is lived in the midst of a non-Christian world. Without frequent communication with our Lord we cannot live it successfully, and certainly not as examples of what it means to be a Christian. Thankfully, God is always available and eager to talk with us. His frequent message is to share His love with others. This world needs the message of the love of Jesus Christ, and it is up to us to make this love available on a regular basis. God's love for Man is best shown when we allow it to flow through us to those we meet, but the written word allows us to speak into the lives of people we will never meet. I have taken this opportunity to speak into the lives of those I will not meet, and I hope that God's encouragement reaches all those who read this short collection of my experiences of His encouragement.

This collection of forty-two devotionals does not claim what Nathan claims in II Samuel 7:4-5a, "...the word of the Lord came unto Nathan, saying, 'Go and tell my servant David, 'Thus saith the Lord....' ' " Even though I do not claim that statement, "Thus saith the Lord", for this book, I will say that each devotional has been inspired by Him, sometimes immediately after prayer and sometimes later after much thought. Topics stretch from the first Call of God on a life to the prospect of eternity lived walking beside Him.
