This devotional was done in December 2007. My desire was to concentrate on God’s word and to help others have that same desire! This is a 28-day devotional strictly dealing with the Bible as God’s Word and how no church doctrine or man’s word can supersede what God hath said.
This is a 60-day devotional collaborated with Brother Jerry Bouey. I began posting in May 2007. Not only are some of the numbers of the Bible covered, but we also had other ideas come to mind as we wrote. I pray you will enjoy this one! I always am amazed at how the Lord reveals Himself through the numbers in the Bible.
lease take time to visit Brother Jerry’s site at Home of the Real McCoy
The title to this devotional came to me when I was doing my morning devotions. I did my devotions before breakfast and realized the importance of feeding my spiritual body. We need that morning manna in order to keep spiritually focused throughout the day. This devotional was originally written in 2007 with a desire to feed my spiritual self. I hope it is a blessing to you!
When you’re by your self, and no one’s around
When not even a single soul in your world can be found
Simply turn to God’s Word, it most certainly is true
That God can be found to bring solace to you.
He has placed letters for comfort, and some teach us to pray
Letters from His Spirit which His thoughts do convey
To a flock that He loves and has promised to guide
Through the valleys and rivers, to our home up on high.
All of life’s paths are laid out in a pattern
Designed by a Master Hand guiding each turn
His Love is more than that of your friend
This Saviour will be with you to the very end!

What a great mother that I would be
To leave my child something from me
With directions to the paths of life
As well as warnings from sin and strife
I am no better than those with heart
Who strive to guide them from the start
My goal to teach of the One Above
To lead them to the Christ, His Love
Your Word has fed me from milk to meat
Sometimes ’twas bitter sometimes ’twas sweet
But each time I walked away refreshed
Your Spirit at work within my flesh
You are my light, my water, my bread
A cleansing power is Your blood so red
This Crimson Thread is revealed throughout
Each letter, each page Your Word thus shouts
My worn out Bible is my life, my breath
Without its nourishment, is spiritual death
It is by choice to devote precious time
Because I am promised a life so sublime
This Book of Directions You have left for me
Reveals what a caring Father You must be
Your Word contains warning of sin and strife
To guide and comfort me in this earthly life
What compassion, love, and amazing grace
Is revealed on each page for the human race
While we were yet sinners you died for us
To save us from hell and eternal darkness
Thank You Lord for Your Word so free
Leading us to Your side for eternity
Help us hold it and keep it with all diligence
Guarding each word with utmost reverence.

In awesome wonder and praise I sit
Going over that glorious day
The day you came to the Saviour
And your sins were all washed away
Your prayer was so sincere and sweet,
It reached heaven with opened ears
Angels rejoicing with hymns and songs
And Your Father so moved to tears!
A hurting son came to Him last night
Who had been wandering for so long
Your Father so patiently waited
For His son to repent and come home
In the still of the night you were broken
And your desperate cry He did hear
Salvation was given to you freely
Now He’ll hold you ever so near
Your Father awaits you each morning
In a place that is special to you
With the Bible ready and waiting
So His Spirit your heart can renew
Be faithful and strong, my precious son
God’s Word daily feeding your soul
Be vigilant, guarding your spirit
In your walk toward your Heavenly Home
I love you, Adam!
Mom
A day is as a thousand years
In God’s space and realm of time
Our journey here is measured
Like a mountain that we climb
Will Jesus find us watching friend?
Will He find us fast asleep?
Let’s treat each hour like the last
While we’re rescuing His sheep
Please help us to remember Lord
Just how frail each moment is
So we may utilize each day
The same way that Jesus did
Will Jesus find us watching friend?
Will He find us fast asleep?
Let’s treat each hour like the last
While we’re rescuing His sheep
Will you be busy with life’s walk?
Bearing burdens, in despair?
What will Jesus find you doing?
When He calls you in the air?
Will Jesus find us watching friend?
Will He find us fast asleep?
Let’s treat each hour like the last
While we’re rescuing His sheep

I find sweet comfort under Thy wings
No matter what difficulty or trial
As long as my eyes are focused on Thee
On the pages of my bless’ed worn Bible
A fountain of life for the thirsty soul
With refreshment along life’s walk
Providing direction through valleys and hills
Giving warning when the enemy knocks
How I thank Thee, oh Shepherd of my soul
For protecting me from the enemy’s snares
Under Thy wings I do safely abide
As I find peaceful rest in Thy care

I don’t know why you chose this path
It was surely not for pay
There’s no routine or certainty
That brings comfort with each day
You leave your home and take with you
Silent prayers of family
They know the dangers you will see
They pray on bended knee
Your eyes see more in just one day
Than we do in an entire year
You strive to make our homes a haven
Safe from harms way and fear
You vow To Protect and To Serve
People you don’t even know
You treat them all with dignity
Despite the filth they show
The way you serve with care and honor
Reflects your reputation
You wear your badge with such great pride
And it serves as confirmation
You never know with each call you take
If this will be your last
But yet you continue to take each one
And let your doubts just pass
This is your eulogy while you yet live
To wait for your death is sad
How much we need you to keep on going
To survive in a world gone mad

T’was the name of Jesus that I called upon that day
T’was the Blessed Saviour Who washed my sins away
Tis Jesus my Shepherd who guides me to my Home
Where I will sing praises as He sits upon His Throne
