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.

WE ALSO REJOICE IN OUR SUFFERINGS / ROMANS 5:3

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Romans 5:3

And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

WE ALSO REJOICE IN OUR SUFFERINGS / ROMANS 5:3

Paul lists “sufferings” as one of the blessings of our salvation and renewed relationship with God through Christ.

  1. The word “sufferings” refers to all kinds of troubles and difficulties that may affect our lives. This includes such things as the pressures of school or jobs, family situations, financial or physical needs, tragic circumstances, sorrow, sickness, persecution, mistreatment or loneliness.
  2. In the middle of these troubles, God assures us of His presence, enables us to depend on Him and helps us grow closer to Him. Through tough times we also gain strength and maturity (James 1:3-4; James 1:4) that help us to overcome other difficulties in life. Instead of driving us to despair, suffering produces perseverance (Romans 5:3), perseverance produces character (Romans 5:4), and proven character results in a mature hope – a hope that looks to the future with God and that will not disappoint (Romans 5:5).
  3. God’s grace lets us look beyond our present problems to find hope in our relationship with God. In the end, that hope is focused on the certainty of Jesus’ return to rescue His people from this evil world and to establish His reign with them in the new heaven and new earth (1 Thessalonians 4:13; Revelation 19 – 22). But in this waiting time, “God has poured out His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit” (Romans 5:5) to comfort us in our troubles and bring Christ’s presence near (John 14:16-23; John 1416).

THEREFORE, SINCE WE HAVE BEEN JUSTIFIED / ROMANS 5:1

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Romans 5:1

Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

THEREFORE, SINCE WE HAVE BEEN JUSTIFIED / ROMANS 5:1

Justification through faith brings the believer various results: a renewed relationship with God, peace with God, grace (Romans 4:16), hope, assurance, sufferings, the love of God, the presence of Holy Spirit, freedom from God’s wrath and punishment, continual access to God’s presence through Christ and joy in our relationship with God (Romans 5:1-11).

CURSED BE CANAAN / GENESIS 9:24-25

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Genesis 9:24-25

And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.

25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.

CURSED BE CANAAN / GENESIS 9:24-25

When Noah learned of Ham’s shameful action, he pronounced a curse on Hon’s son, Canaan (not on Ham himself).

  1. Perhaps Canaan was somehow involved in Ham’s sin or had the same character faults as his father. Perhaps, since Ham had brought open shame upon his father, he himself would be humiliated through his son. The curse indicated that Canaan’s descendants would be oppressed by other nations. In contrast, God would bless Shem’s and Japheth’s descendants (Genesis 9:26-27).
  2. However, Noah’s prophecy was conditional for everyone involved. Any of Canaan’s descendants who turned to God would also receive blessings (Joshua 6:22-25; Hebrews 11:31). Also, any descendants of Shem and Japheth wo rejected God would experience the curse made on Canaan (Jeremiah 18:7-10).

HAM / GENESIS 9:22

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Genesis 9:22

And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.

HAM / GENESIS 9:22

Ham’s sin resulted from his failure to honor and respect his father (Exodus20:12; Ephesians 6:2-3). Rather than covering Noah, he exposed his father’s shameful condition.

DRANK SOME OF ITS WINE, HE BECAME DRUNK / GENESIS 9:21

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Genesis 9:21

And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.

DRANK SOME OF ITS WINE, HE BECAME DRUNK / GENESIS 9:21

The first mention of wine in Scripture is connected with drunkenness, sin, shame and a curse (Genesis 9:21-25). Throughout the Bible, drunkenness caused disasters and poor judgment. The sin of drunkenness destroys the individual and affects all his relationships (Proverbs 23:21; Galatians 5:21; 1 Peter 4:3; 31:4; Leviticus 10:9; Numbers 6:3; Judges 13:4-7; 1 Thessalonians 5:6; Titus 2:2).

THE HOLY SEED / ISAIAH 6:13

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Isaiah 6:13

But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof.

THE HOLY SEED / ISAIAH 6:13

God encouraged Isaiah by telling him that a few faithful people would believe and respond to his message and be spared from the destruction that would come to those who would come to those who would resist. Through this new Judah, God would work out His plan of salvation for the world, bringing people of all nations back into a right relationship with God. Even today, when God judges a spiritually rebellious and ineffective church, God will preserve and work through those who remain faithful and holy – spiritually pure, separated from evil and dedicated to God and His Word.

GO AND TELL THIS PEOPLE / ISAIAH 6:9

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Isaiah 6:9

And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.

GO AND TELL THIS PEOPLE / ISAIAH 6:9

God told Isaiah that the people would reject his message and remain unresponsive to his firm challenge. God was calling them to turn from their sin and return to following God. But He knew they would resist. In fact, Isaiah’s preaching would cause the rebellious people to resist God even more (Isaiah 6:9-10; Matthew 4:12; Luke 8:10). They would choose to remain spiritually blind, even though the truth was made clear to them. Still, Isaiah had to remain faithful to God by preaching the unpopular message of judgment (Jeremiah 1:8, 19; Ezekiel 2:3-4). There would be a limit to Isaiah’s distressing ministry. The judgments God executed on His people through Sennacherib of Assyria in 701 B.C (Isaiah 6:11-12) would bring Jerusalem back to faith and obedience to God (Isaiah 36:21; 37:7). As a result, Isaiah would be able to have a new ministry – with a more positive and hopeful message – during the additional 15 years God granted to King Hezekiah (Isaiah 38:5).

WHOM SHALL I SEND? / ISAIAH 6:8

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Isaiah 6:8

Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.

WHOM SHALL I SEND? / ISAIAH 6:8

Only after God had purified and prepared him spiritually was Isaiah commissioned or given a duty and the authority needed to perform that duty, as a prophet. This passage reminds us of the Great Commission Jesus gave His followers before He left the earth and returned to heaven. He commanded us to spread His message of hope and spiritual salvation to the entire world (Matthew 28:18-20), starting right where we are. God is always looking for willing individuals to take His gospel – His “good news” – to people who still need to hear about and receive His forgiveness and new life. If we take God’s command seriously, we must respond in the same way as Isaiah, “Here am I. Send me!”

WOE TO ME / ISAIAH 6:5

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Isaiah 6:5

Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.

WOE TO ME / ISAIAH 6:5

In full view of God’s holiness, Isaiah instantly realized his own sinfulness, uncleanness and unworthiness, especially in speaking for God and delivering His message to others (James 3:1-6). He also suddenly realized the fearful consequences that could have resulted from seeing God face to face (Exodus 33:20). But instead of allowing His humble servant to be destroyed, God purified Isaiah’s mouth and heart (Leviticus 16:12; Jeremiah 1:9), making him fit to remain in God’s presence and serve as His prophet. All who want to experience God’s powerful presence and serve His highest purposes must have their sins forgiven and their hearts cleansed by God’s Holy Spirit (Hebrews 10:19-22). Only God can truly purify us and make us worthy to fulfill His perfect plans.

HOLY, HOLY, HOLY / ISAIAH 6:3

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Isaiah 6:3

And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.

HOLY, HOLY, HOLY / ISAIAH 6:3

Above all else, Isaiah recognized God’s holiness, which points to His pure and perfect character, His separation from sin and His opposition to all that is evil. God’s absolute holiness must be recognized and proclaimed in churches – among God’s people – just as it is in the heavens.
