When we face trials, we can be sure those around us are watching; judging us by the results of our actions.
Our efforts may not always achieve the desired outcome, and so our true motives may never be known to others.
In the Bible we read; “God alone knows the hearts of all men”.
And Jesus tells us; “Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God”.
When our heart is right we can trust…God will stand by us.

A recommended song to accompany this devotion is “Stand By Me” by Elvis Presley.

Devotion 08/03/14

Our Devotion, “Not Always Busy Bees” comes from Nichole Parks, a professional writing major at Taylor University and freelance writer for WBCL Radio, The Echo, and Church Libraries.
.
A little known fact of nature is that honey bees sleep. After foraging, then working many hours at cleaning, then feeding the baby bees, taking care of the queen bee, collecting the nectar, packing away the nectar, fanning, repairing the hive, and guarding the hive, bees finally take time to sleep. They sleep in shifts. Some doze inside the hive. Others nap outside on pretty flowers.
Time and time again you’ll hear people mention the “busy bee” or you’ll hear a business executive use the worker bee as an example of diligence. The era we live in glorifies workaholism. If you’re calendar isn’t full and you’re eyes don’t have bags under them, you’re labeled as lazy.
Let me remind you of something: even God rested. When He created the world, he set aside a special day just for rest. Jesus had only thirty-three years of walking the earth, yet he napped in the bottom of boats and he meditated in the mountains!
If you’re weary, if you’re heavy-laden, don’t you think it’s time for a rest? Why not go back to making Sunday your Sabbath?

Few things in life are free. Almost everything comes with a price. In fact, there’s a common saying; “You get what you pay for.” Sometimes we discover we don’t even begin to get our money’s-worth. On the other hand, the credit card people tell us some things are “priceless”. Topping that list should be our relationship with God, who gives us all we have, and sacrificed His Son to pay for our sins. The apostle Paul reminds us; “It is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.

A recommended song to go with this message is “Hey,Hey” by The Elms.
