Author: Margarita

I'm Margaret (AKA "Margarita"). I am a Christian, wife, mother of three, and grandmother (AKA "Mimi") of three. My husband Stace and I met many, many years ago. We have had our share of up and downs but I'm forever grateful that he is the man God blessed me with. I am happy to report we have been married for 25 years. I love this space on the internet. I create blog posts about faith, my Christian Walk, and our life on the farm. I have learned from the Word of the Lord. I hope this space will give you encouragement and inspiration in your walk with God. I speak on topics that make some breathe a sigh of relief and make others get pretty uncomfortable. I believe that there is power in transparency and that as children of God, we shouldn't hold anything back. Yes, even those raw and messy parts of our Life's Journey. Over the last several years, I have wrestled with my purpose, struggled with various sins, survived some severe injuries, and was diagnosed with severe illnesses that have stopped me in my tracks. Although these dark times have been tough, my walk with God and family has proven to be so fulfilling and sweet, regardless of any earthly circumstance. Christ is enough! And I want you to see that He is enough for you too. The Lord has put it on my heart to share His Word with you. I'm truly honored to meet you and hope you'll introduce yourself to me as well.

LIKE A MOTHER CARING FOR HER LITTLE CHILDREN / 1 THESSALONIANS 2:7

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Thessalonians 2:7

But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:

LIKE A MOTHER CARING FOR HER LITTLE CHILDREN / 1 THESSALONIANS 2:7

Paul and his associates offer an example of the spiritual attitude that all missionaries, evangelists and pastors should have as they preach Christ’s message. 

  1. As missionaries (ones taking Christ’s message to people of other cultures, communities and lands), they had a mother’s gentle and caring attitude. They were willing to make great sacrifices, doing whatever was necessary to nurture, protect and meet the spiritual needs of God’s people and those whom they had led to faith in Christ. 
  2. Their gentleness implies that they did not act like important or superior people. They were patient rather than harsh with people as they grew in their faith. 
  3. The missionaries possessed such a deep love for the Thessalonians that they were willing to share their very lives with the people (1 Thessalonians 2:8).
  4. They devoted long hours, even to the point of extreme fatigue, in order to bring them Christ’s message, help them grow spiritually and establish effective ministry in their church (1 Thessalonians 2:9).
  5. They lived hold and blameless lives (lives of moral purity, spiritual integrity and devotion to God) so that sincere people could not accuse them of wrongdoing. They guided and encouraged the people as any good father would (1 Thessalonians 1:10-12).

WE SPEAK NOT TRYING TO PLEASE MEN / 1 THESSALONIANS 2:4

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Thessalonians 2:4

But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.

WE SPEAK NOT TRYING TO PLEASE MEN / 1 THESSALONIANS 2:4

Every preacher of the gospel faces the temptation to please other people – trying to gain their acceptance, approval and honor (1 Thessalonians 2:6) – by preaching only what people want to hear and what will not offend them. 

  1. Giving in to this temptation may take the form of tolerating sin, spiritual compromise and complacency in the congregation (Revelation 2:20: Revelation 3:15-16). It may also involve the use of flattering speech or entertainment-oriented ministry in order to increase attendance, promote financial giving, gain higher positions or receive honor from others (1 Thessalonians 2:4-6).
  2. If this occurs, a church may suffer irreparable damage to its integrity and ability to represent Christ to its community. For this reason, it is essential that one’s motive in preaching – or any kind of ministry or Christian service – should always be to please God and not to gain approval from other people (1 Corinthians 4:5; Galatians 1:9; Galatians 1:10; Luke 1:17; 2 Timothy 4:3-4).

OUR VISIT TO YOU / 1 THESSALONIANS 2:1-2

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Thessalonians 2:1-2

 For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain: 2 But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention.

OUR VISIT TO YOU / 1 THESSALONIANS 2:1-2

In 1 Thessalonians 2, Paul reminds the Thessalonians of the integrity of his conduct while he was serving with them. Paul’s opponents had slandered his character and questioned his motives in preaching the message of Christ.

THE LORD SAW THAT LEAH WAS NOT LOVED / GENESIS 29:31

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Genesis 29:31

And when the Lord saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.

THE LORD SAW THAT LEAH WAS NOT LOVED / GENESIS 29:31

God allowed Leah to have children. One of her sons was Judah, an ancestor of Christ (Matthew 1:3; Matthew 1:16). Often God takes the side of those who are neglected or treated wrongfully (Psalms 9:18; 22:24; Luke 4:18). In the end, God will not tolerate injustice, especially among His people (Colossians 3:25).

LABAN GAVE HIM HIS DAUGHTER RACHEL TO BE HIS WIFE / GENESIS 29:28

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Genesis 29:28

And Jacob did so. He finished the week with Leah, and then Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to be his wife.

LABAN GAVE HIM HIS DAUGHTER RACHEL TO BE HIS WIFE / GENESIS 29:28

Jacob’s marriage to two sisters went against what God had intended from creation. He planned from the beginning that marriage should consist of only one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24; Exodus 20:17; Deuteronomy 5:21). Later, God specifically banned Jacob’s type of marriage (Leviticus 18:18). The New Testament also considers monogamy (one wife and one husband) as the only rightful form of marriage (Matthew 19:4-6; Mark 10:4-9). God may have tolerated polygamy (a husband having more than one wife) in the Old Testament because people often lacked a full understanding or simply ignored God’s will about marriage. The evil effects of polygamy are described in Genesis 29:30; 30:1; 35:22; 1 Kings 11:1-12.

WHY HAVE YOU DECEIVED ME? / GENESIS 29:25

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Genesis 29:25 

When morning came, there was Leah! So Jacob said to Laban, “What is this you have done to me? I served you for Rachel, didn’t I? Why have you deceived me?”

WHY HAVE YOU DECEIVED ME? / GENESIS 29:25

Perhaps God was letting Jacob learn a hard lesson about all the evil and hurt he had caused when he deceived his own father and brother (Genesis 27). We must understand that although God forgives us for a certain sin, He may also discipline us for that sin (2 Samuel 12:7-14). God’s spiritual principle remains: “Do not be deceived … a man reaps what he sows” (Galatians 6:7; Proverbs 22:8; Hosea 8:7; 10:12-13). In other words, there are definite consequences for our actions – good or bad – and what we put into things will come back to us.

THE KINGDOM AND HEALING / MATTHEW 4:23

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 4:23

And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.

THE KINGDOM AND HEALING / MATTHEW 4:23

Throughout the gospels (the accounts of Jesus’ life and ministry according to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John), the kingdom of God – His power, purposes and way of life on earth – is often associated with healing, miracles and driving demons out of people’s lives (Matthew 4:23-24; Matthew 9:35; 10:7-8; 12:28; Luke 9:1-2; Acts 8:6-7; Acts 8:12). God’s kingdom includes benefits for the body and mind, as well as for the soul and spirit.

FISHERS OF MEN / MATTHEW 4:19

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 4:19

And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.

FISHERS OF MEN / MATTHEW 4:19

Speaking in terms that related to the occupation of Peter and Andrew (fishermen), Jesus calls them to a higher mission than they have ever known – to influence others for God and introduce them to Christ. One may be a pastor, evangelist, missionary, writer, computer programmer, nurse, factory worker, waiter, teacher or student; but if they are not striving in some way to introduce others to Christ, they are not doing the most important work to which God has called them (Matthew 28:19; Luke 5:10; John 15:16; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 9:19).

IT IS WRITTEN / MATTHEW 4:6

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 4:6-7

And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

IT IS WRITTEN / MATTHEW 4:6

  1. The Greek verb gegraptai (meaning “it is written”) is in the perfect tense. This tense reflects that God’s command is both a completed action and a continuing state that results from that action. The full force of the statement in Greek is: “It has been written and it still stands written.” This points to the ongoing authority and unchanging nature of God’s Word.
  2. Jesus used God’s Word as an effective weapon against temptation; Satan tried to misuse God’s Word in order to tempt Jesus to sin. At times, people who oppose God will also misuse the Bible in an attempt to persuade believers to do something they know is wrong or unwise. Some Bible passages, when taken out of context or not compared with other parts of God’s Word, may even seem to allow or support sinful behavior (1 Corinthians 6:12). Followers of Christ must know God’s Word thoroughly and beware of those who try to misuse Scripture in order to support their own opinions or satisfy their own selfish desires. The apostle Peter (one of Jesus’ closest disciples and a leader in the early church) speaks of those who twist the Scriptures to their own destruction (2 Peter 3:16).
