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.

MYSTERY OF CHRIST / EPHESIANS 3:4-5

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Ephesians 3:4-5

Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) 5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

MYSTERY OF CHRIST / EPHESIANS 3:4-5

Paul speaks of the “mystery of Christ,” hidden for ages past in God (Ephesians 3:9) and now made known by revelation (Ephesians 3:3) through the Holy Spirit to the apostles and prophets (Ephesians 3:5). The mystery is God’s purpose to “bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ” (Ephesians 1:10) and to include people of all nations (Ephesians 2:14-17) in the promise of spiritual salvation and eternal life (Ephesians 3:6; Romans 16:25-26; 2 Timothy 1:1). In the Old Testament, it was prophesied that the Gentiles (non-Jews) would turn to the God of Israel and be saved (Romans 15:9-12), so that was not a mystery to those of the New Testament world. But the fact that Gentiles would share equally in the life, promises and purposes of God (Ephesians 3:6) was unexpected by both Jews and Gentiles. It was a mystery that was temporarily hidden until God revealed His full plan of salvation through faith in Christ (Colossians 1:25-26).

A RANSOM / MARK 10:45

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Mark 10:45

For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

A RANSOM / MARK 10:45

See Matthew 20:28; Romans 3:25 on the meaning of Christ’s death for humankind, which is able to free us from captivity to sin and restore us to a personal relationship with God.

WHOEVER WANTS TO BECOME GREAT / MARK 10:43-44

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Mark 10:43-44

 But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister: 44 And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.

WHOEVER WANTS TO BECOME GREAT / MARK 10:43-44

True greatness is not a matter of leadership, authority, ability or high personal achievement (Mark 10:42). It is an attitude of heart that desires to serve God’s purposes and seeks to benefit others (Philippians 2:3; Philippians 2:5). We must be so committed to God that we pursue His plans and purposes on earth without desiring glory, position or material rewards. Accomplishing God’s purposes, leading others into a personal relationship with Christ and pleasing Him are the greatest rewards for those who are truly great in God’s eyes (Luke 22:24-30).

CAN YOU DRINK THE CUP I DRINK? / MARK 10:38

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Mark 10:38

But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?

CAN YOU DRINK THE CUP I DRINK? / MARK 10:38

This is a Jewish expression meaning to share someone’s fate. In the Old Testament, the cup of wine was a common metaphor, or symbolic reference, to God’s anger and judgment toward human sin and rebellion (Psalms 75:8; Isaiah 51:17-23; Jeremiah 25:15-28; 49:12). That is the reason Christ would suffer in our place – to take the punishment for our sin (Mark 10:36; Isaiah 53:5).

RECEIVE A HUNDRED TIMES / MARK 10:29-30

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Mark 10:29-30

And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s, 30 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.

RECEIVE A HUNDRED TIMES / MARK 10:29-30

The rewards promised here and not to be understood in a literal way. This simply means that God never takes anything from His followers that He does not replace with something infinitely greater according to His purposes. The devoted follower of Christ who sacrifices for the Lord’s sake will experience the blessings and joy related to all the relationships listed here. The fact that these benefits will come with persecutions as well teaches that a life of discipleship (learning from the following Christ) is a combination of promise and persecution, blessing and suffering, grief and glory. But “consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us” (Romans 8:18).

AND BLESSED THEM / MARK 10:16

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Mark 10:16

And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.

AND BLESSED THEM / MARK 10:16

Christ is deeply concerned about the well-being and the spiritual salvation of children. This certainly applies to their upbringing and home life. With God’s help, wisdom and guidance, Christians parents should use every means available to raise their children to know and serve Christ because He longs to receive them, love them and bless them from the earliest stages of their lives (Mark 10:13-16).

LIKE A LITTLE CHILD / MARK 10:15

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Mark 10:15

Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.

LIKE A LITTLE CHILD / MARK 10:15

Receiving God’s kingdom like a child means accepting it in a simple and wholehearted way so as to turn from sin, receive Christ as Savior (the Forgiver of your sins), rely on Him as Lord (the Leader of your life) and follow God as your heavenly Father (Matthew 18:3).

KINGDOM OF GOD / MARK 10:14

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Mark 10:14

But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

KINGDOM OF GOD / MARK 10:14

In general, this refers to God’s supreme power and authority over all things and to His plans, purposes and way of life on earth and into eternity. Mark uses the term “kingdom of God” while Matthew generally uses the preferred Jewish expression “kingdom of heaven” (because the Jews were hesitant to use the name of God out of extreme reverence for the Lord). The meaning, however, is the same. Compare the following parallel passages (describing the same situations or events): Matthew 4:17 with Mark 1:15; Matthew 5:3 with Luke 6:20; Matthew 11:11 with Luke 7:28; Matthew 10:7 with Luke 10:9.

COMMITS ADULTERY / MARK 10:11

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Mark 10:11

 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.

COMMITS ADULTERY / MARK 10:11

Anyone who divorces a spouse for anything other than Biblical reasons and then remarries sins against God by committing adultery (Malachi 2:14; Matthew 19:9; 1 Corinthians 7:15). God does not necessarily recognize a divorce as right or legitimate simply because the state (or any human institution) legalizes it. See Matthew 19:9, for a more thorough consideration of the issue and implications of divorce.

OUTSIDE THE CAMP / LEVITICUS 4:12

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Leviticus 4:12

Even the whole bullock shall he carry forth without the camp unto a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn him on the wood with fire: where the ashes are poured out shall he be burnt.

OUTSIDE THE CAMP / LEVITICUS 4:12

Burning the sacrificial animal “outside the camp” symbolized the complete removal of sin. The New Testament relates this to Jesus’ suffering outside the gate (outside Jerusalem) in order to purify His people through His own blood (John 19:17-18; Hebrews 13:11-15). Christians also are called to “go to Him outside the camp.” This means that we are to leave behind the sinful pleasures of this world and identify with Jesus. By doing this, we are able to press on toward a heavenly city and to offer the “sacrifice of praise” and thanksgiving to God (Hebrews 13:13-15; Hebrews 13:13).
