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.

UNITY IN THE FAITH / EPHESIANS 4:13

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Ephesians 4:13

Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

UNITY IN THE FAITH / EPHESIANS 4:13

In Ephesians 4, Paul teaches that the “unity of the Spirit” (Ephesians 4:3) and the “unity in the faith” are experienced, maintained and perfected by:

  1. Believers accepting and responding to the New Testament faith and message of God-appointed apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers (Ephesians 4:11-12).
  2. Believers accepting all of the spiritual resources Christ has made available (Ephesians 4:13; Ephesians 3:19) to help His followers grow in discipline, character and maturity in all aspects of relationship and service with Christ (Ephesians 4:15).
  3. No longer being immature people who accept “every wind of teaching” but those who have a knowledge of the truth by which to recognize and reject false teachers (Ephesians 4:14-15).
  4. Holding on to and speaking the revealed truth of God’s Word in an attitude of love (Ephesians 4:15).
  5. Living in “true righteousness and holiness” (Ephesians 4:24; 4:17-32). As individual Christians within a church congregation accept and follow these disciplines, they will grow in their relationship with Christ and each other. As a result, the church as a whole will be built up spiritually and experience growth on many levels (Ephesians 4:16).

TO PREPARE GOD’S PEOPLE FOR WORKS OF SERVICE / EPHESIANS 4:11-12

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

Ephesians 4:11-12

And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

TO PREPARE GOD’S PEOPLE FOR WORKS OF SERVICE / EPHESIANS 4:11-12

This passage states one of the primary purposes for which Christ gives gifted leaders to the church. Those who have the ministry gifts mentioned in Ephesians 4:11 are not to do all the work of ministry for the people. Their primary role is to train and equip members of the church congregation to do ministry themselves, both inside and outside of the church. This ministry principle is a challenge to leaders in that they must release people into various roles of service. It is a challenge to people in the church in that they are to do more than simply sit back and receive ministry. They must seek an active role of service in the church, using their God-given abilities to help others and to build up the church.

ONE LORD / EPHESIANS 4:4-6

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Ephesians 4:4-6

There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

ONE LORD / EPHESIANS 4:4-6

Essential to Christian faith and unity is the confession that there is only “one Lord.” 

  1. The fact that there is only “one Lord” means that Jesus Christ’s work of redemption (spiritual salvation, liberation from sin, restoration of our relationship with God) is perfect and sufficient. No other Savior or mediator is needed to bring us to God. Only Jesus provides the opportunity for spiritual salvation (1 Timothy 2:5-6; Hebrews 9:15). Only through Christ can we come near to God (Hebrews 7:25).
  2. To give equal or greater loyalty to any authority (secular or religious) other than God – as revealed in Christ and His inspired Word – is the same as rejecting Christ as Lord and cutting off the life that is in Him alone. In order to truly follow Christ and experience the “unity of the Spirit” (Ephesians 4:3), a person must submit to the Lord Jesus Christ as the supreme Leader in his or her life and follow Christ’s authority as communicated in God’s written Word.

KEEP THE UNITY / EPHESIANS 4:3

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Ephesians 4:3

Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

KEEP THE UNITY / EPHESIANS 4:3

“The unity of the Spirit” cannot be created by any human being or group of believers. As Paul has already emphasized in Ephesians 1 – 3, this unity already exists for those who have accepted the truth and received Christ. The Ephesians are now to maintain that unity, not through human efforts or organizations, but by living “a life worthy of the calling they have received” (Ephesians 4:1). Spiritual unity is not a matter of intellectual agreement on all issues. It is a unity of love and purpose (Ephesians 4:17-18) and is maintained by being loyal to the truth and moving in obedience to the leading of the Spirit (Ephesians 4:1-3, 14-15; Galatians 5:22-26). This unity is based on Christ’s love and purpose at work in and through our lives. It cannot be achieved “by human effort” (Galatians 3:3). It will, however, express itself outwardly in good works (Ephesians 2:10; Galatians 6:10; Titus 2:14; 1 John 3:17-18; Psalms 133:1-3; John 17:21).

EVERYONE DESERTED HIM / MARK 14:50

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Mark 14:50

And they all forsook him, and fled.

EVERYONE DESERTED HIM / MARK 14:50

We should not compare the failure of Peter and the other disciples at the time of Jesus’ arrest to the spiritual and moral failure of pastors or leaders after Christ’s death and resurrection. There are several reasons why we cannot compare the two situations equally”

  1. At the time of their failure, Peter and the disciples were not yet under the new covenant (God’s plan of spiritual salvation and a renewed relationship with people through the life and sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ; Mark 14:24). The new covenant did not go into effect until Christ died on the cross (Hebrews 9:15-20).
  2. Peter and the disciples had not yet experienced being “born again” spiritually (John 3:3-7), which includes being spiritually renewed and transformed by God’s Holy Spirit. The Spirit was not yet given to empower, guide and live within them until the day of Christ’s resurrection when He “breathed on them and said, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit’ “ (John 20:22). The disciples’ failure was an act of weakness rather than wickedness. 
  3. When Peter and the disciples abandoned Christ, they did not have the advantage of those who are now aware of the moral implications of Christ’s sacrificial death on the cross (Romans 6). In addition, they did not have the spiritual power provided by Christ’s sacrifice or faith inspired by His resurrection from the dead.

KEEP WATCH FOR ONE HOUR / MARK 14:37

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Mark 14:37

And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?

KEEP WATCH FOR ONE HOUR / MARK 14:37

Peter and the disciples neglected to stay alert and pray, even though prayer was the only thing that could have kept them from failing during the difficult time ahead (Mark 14:50). Instead, they were spiritually weak and ended up scattering after Jesus was arrested (Mark 14:50-52). Peter even denied knowing Jesus (Mark 14:66-72). Failure in our Christian life is absolutely certain without prayer (Acts 10:9).

GETHSEMANE … PRAY / MARK 14:32

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Mark 14:32

 And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray.

GETHSEMANE … PRAY / MARK 14:32

Jesus’ action is an example of what His followers ought to do in times of great distress or grief.

  1. Turn to God in prayer (Mark 14:32, 35-36, 39).
  2. Seek the support of friends (Mark 14:33-34, 42).
  3. Acknowledge God as a loving Father who will always take care of us and do what is best (Mark 14:36).
  4. Trust God and commit to His plans and purposes (Mark 14:36). [See Matthew 26:37 on the ten stages of the suffering of Christ.]

BLOOD OF THE COVENANT / MARK 14:24

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Mark 14:24

 And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.

BLOOD OF THE COVENANT / MARK 14:24

Christ’s blood was shed (He gave His life through death on the cross) to pay the penalty for our sins and provide the opportunity for forgiveness and spiritual salvation (a restored, renewed and eternal relationship with God). His death on the cross established a new covenant, or “life agreement,” between God and all who receive Christ as Savior and Lord – the Forgiver of their sins and Leader of their lives (Jeremiah 31:31-34). Those who repent (admit and turn from their own sinful way) and turn to God through faith in Christ will be forgiven, freed from the power of sin and Satan and given a new spiritual life. As a result, they become children of God, receive the gift of the Holy Spirit and have access to God at any time in order to receive mercy, strength and help (Matthew 26:28; Hebrews 4:16; 7:25).

HAD NOT BEEN BORN / MARK 14:21

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Mark 14:21

The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born.

HAD NOT BEEN BORN / MARK 14:21

Jesus always evaluates and judges people’s lives from a spiritual and eternal viewpoint. He affirms that it would be better that a person never be born than to come into this world and then reject or fail to accept Jesus’ forgiveness and leadership over his or her life. The end result of such a life will be to spend eternity in hell (John 6:64).

THE GOSPEL / MARK 14:9

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Mark 14:9

Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.

THE GOSPEL / MARK 14:9

The word “gospel” is from the Old English gospel, meaning “good message” or “good news,” which is an accurate translation of the original Greek word evangelion – “the message’ of God. The good news is the true message that God has provided us the means and opportunity of forgiveness and a personal relationship with Him through the life, death and resurrection of His Son, Jesus Christ (Luke 4:18-21; 7:22; John 3:16). Wherever this message is proclaimed in the power of the Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:4; Galatians 1:11),

  1. It comes with authority (Matthew 28:18-20).
  2. It provides power of spiritual salvation and reveals God’s righteousness (Romans 1:16-17). 
  3. It demands a response – repentance, turning from our own sinful way in order to follow God’s purposes (Mark 1:15; Matthew 3:2; Matthew 4:17).
  4. It works on people’s consciences to expose sin, show them what is right and remind them that they are accountable to God (John 16:8; Acts 24:25).
  5. It creates and inspires faith (Romans 10:17; Philippians 1:27).
  6. It brings spiritual salvation, freedom, life and the gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:33, 38-39; Romans 1:16; 1 Corinthians 15:22; 1 Peter 1:23).
  7. It rescues people from the power and control of sin and Satan (Matthew 12:28; Acts 26:18; Romans 6).
  8. It brings hope (Colossians 1:5, 23), peace (Ephesians 2:17; 6:15) and immortality (2 Timothy 1:10.
  9. It warns of judgment (Romans 2:16).
  10. It brings condemnation and eternal spiritual death (permanent separation from God) when refused (John 3:18).
