Last month our lesson at PWC offered us a wonderful reminder that we are a new creation in Christ. He radically transforms our lives. Today I wanted to share with you a devotional from my new book, Pursuing God in the Quiet Places. Those who came to PWC received a free copy of the book. You never know what surprises await you at PWC! I hope you will enjoy this devotion as it reminds us of that God as our great reward.
Do not be afraid….
I am your shield,
your very great reward.
Genesis 15:1
God is not only our shield, He is also our very great reward. Notice that He did not say He would give Abram a very great reward, rather He is the great reward. Those who know Him and abide with Him have the most wonderful blessing, the great reward of the God of all creation participating in their lives.
What more could we want? What greater reward could there be than experiencing a love relationship with the Lord God who is the creator of the Heavens and the Earth? We are rich indeed when we recognize that we have received the greatest reward in all eternity. The Lord God is our reward! His Spirit dwells with us. He is our shield. We do not need to be afraid for He is all we need. Father, thank you for your presence in our lives. In You we have the greatest reward man can ever receive – Your Spirit within us.
Mark your calendars for February 28 and 29. Looking forward to seeing you soon!

The following is an excerpt from my new devotional, Pursuing God in the Quiet Places, which will be my special gift to you at our January PWC.
Promise Keeper
The LORD kept his word and did…
exactly what he had promised.
Genesis 21:1
If God promised it, He will do it. We can trust God’s word, and He is able to bring it to pass. Sarah found it hard to believe that God would give her a child in her old age. When she heard God’s promise of a child, she laughed. But God is not hindered by our doubts or our inabilities. If He promised it, He will bring it to pass.
God’s timetable is different than ours. He is not slack about his promises, although from our perspective it may seem as though He has forgotten. George Mueller was a man of prayer who believed whole-heartedly in the promises of God. He would only pray for what was promised in God’s word, and he wouldn’t pray for anything unless he first found it in scripture and could put his finger on the promise. A great example to us all.
Are you willing to place your trust in God’s faithfulness? Walk in the confidence of God’s love and care for you, and believe He will bring about what He promises.
Father, thank you for faithfully loving us and keeping your promises. We trust your word.
