The Devotional Todcast

Why Commitment?

The Children of Israel left many lessons for us, especially through their failure to stay devoted and committed to the Lord. Today we discuss how we can take those lessons and use them as fuel for staying committed to the Lord in our Covenant relationship with Him. We will discuss 3 Commitments from Exodus 32 to hopefully help us see the value of staying devoted to the Lord and utilizing the means He gave us to do so. Many blessings to you!

Why a Covenant?

What is a Covenant and why should the knowledge of it change our lives? Today we will explore that question as we walk through some of the most amazing blessings that come to us through God's Covenant of Love. If we will open our minds and hearts to these truths, then we will gladly hand our lives over to Jesus. We hope this would bless your soul today and you would love the Lord even more based on His incredible love for you. 

Be Ready! - Dealing with the Coronavirus

Oftentimes in life we aren't ready for what's to come. Sometimes this isn't a big deal, but in the Christian life it can be devastating if we're not ready for what's next. This happened to an entire people group in the Old Testament. And hopefully by listening to Scripture, we can act differently than they did when the waves of life come at us. We hope you'd be blessed as we all seek to Be Ready! 

Pinned Down? - Dealing with the Coronavirus

Many times in life we feel pinned down, unable to move forward or backward. The Coronavirus Pandemic definitely feels that way right now. But as we'll see, that feeling doesn't come from our Lord, but from the evil one. As the story of the children of Israel with the Red Sea crossing will teach us once again, the Lord will guide and protect us if we do what He's called us to do. We hope this would bless you as we seek to deal with the Coronavirus Pandemic in a way that honors our Lord. 

Active Remembering - Dealing with the Coronavirus

The classic story of Moses and the children of Israel teaches us some very valuable lessons. But perhaps the most valuable lesson is that we need to remember ALL the Lord has done for us. Although forgetfulness doesn't seem like that big of a vice, we will consider that it's one dangerous step closer to something truly devastating. We hope you'd be blessed as we strive to actively remember God's goodness and grace in our lives!

What's the Point? - Dealing With the Coronavirus

When big, scary things come into our lives, we often ask "Why?". And that's precisely what we want to answer today. What is the point of this pandemic and what's the point of life in general? Why do some people have it easy and some have it very difficult? Why do some live long and others die young? Let's get to the point of all this today. The answer may surprise us all, but hopefully this perspective will shape our thinking towards the point of life on this earth in a way that gives us hope and confidence, even amidst something scary. Blessings to you all!

Obedience and Willingness - Dealing with the Coronavirus

We all know what it's like to have to trust the Lord when things don't make sense to us. That is precisely what Abraham went through once. He was called to trust God's promises and be willing to obey when it didn't line up with Abraham's wishes and desires. And because he passed his test, it means we can also, IF we'll remember exactly what Abraham remembered about God, that He loves us and He cannot break the promises He made to us. We hope these lessons would be helpful to us during our current pandemic. Blessings!

Trust and Obey During a Pandemic - Dealing with the Coronavirus

In this episode we will discuss what it means to trust in and obey the Lord, using the classic story of David & Goliath as our backdrop. We are in the midst of a weird and scary time, but if we have and can keep the right perspective, then today is a day that we can and we must trust in and obey our Lord because of who He is and ALL He's proven to us already. We hope this would bless you today!

Utilizing a Pandemic as an Opportunity - Dealing with the Coronavirus

What is expected of us during this time of quarantine and isolation? Not much probably. We have been commanded to stay at home and shut down our lives. So that must mean that we are hampered in serving the Lord for a while, right? Well actually, as we'll discuss, that would be the WRONG perspective. In fact, if we'll listen to a lesson from 3 individuals in Philippians 2, now might be the perfect opportunity to serve the Lord in ways we otherwise never could or would. We'll explain what we mean. We hope this blesses you during this season!

Fear vs. Peace - Dealing with the Coronavirus

We all know what it's like to be fearful and to be at peace. And we also know that they never happen simultaneously. Meaning, we can either be full of fear or full of peace. As we deal with something like the Coronavirus and all the "What Ifs" that it brings to our minds, I want us to be reminded that we can have peace simply by looking to the Peace-giver and remembering His long resume of love in our lives. I hope this little reminder would do something profound for us all, get us to look to the Lord and let Him chase away our fears and grant us the Peace that we desperately desire. Blessings!
