Searching for God in the Vineyard
“I am the true grapevine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more.” (John 15:1-2, NLT As I previously stated, my friends and I have been studying “Scouting the Divide by Margaret Feinberg. In our last devotional, we saw God as our Good Shepherd and how He treated people differently depending on their needs. Today, we’ll look at the relationship between God and the Vine. And the importance of Jesus being the Vine and us as the branches. My daughters surprised me with a weekend trip…

Llámame (Call Out To Me)
Pídeme y te daré a conocer secretos sorprendentes que no conoces acerca de lo que está por venir. Jeremías 33:3 NTV El pasado domingo por la noche, mi alma se sintió inquieta. Sentí preocupación, miedo en mi corazón, como si algo imprevisible estuviera a punto de suceder. Pasé tiempo con Jesús, pero no me senté y hablé con Él sobre cómo me sentía. Luego, mientras me preparaba para acostarme, el Espíritu Santo me instó a tocar la canción Famous For (I Believe) de Tauren Wells y Jenn Johnson. Empecé a llorar cuando escuché la canción y comencé a hablar en el Espíritu No tena idea de por qué estaba…

Call Out to Me
Ask me, and I will tell you remarkable secrets you do not know about things to come. Jeremiah 33:3 NLT Sunday night, my soul felt restless. I felt this worry, concern, and fear in my heart, as though something unforeseeable was about to happen. I spent time with Jesus, but I didn’t sit down and talk with Him about how I felt. Then, as I was getting ready to go to bed, the Holy Spirit prompted me to play the song “Famous For (I Believe)” by Tauren Wells and Jenn Johnson. I started to cry as I heard the song and started speaking in the Spirit. I had no idea…

El buen pastor y sus ovejas (The Good Shepherd and His Sheep)
Alimentará su rebaño como un pastor; llevará en sus brazos los corderos y los mantendrá cerca de su corazón. Guiará con delicadeza a las ovejas con crías. Isaías 40:11 NLT En nuestro devocional anterior, “Nuestro Buen Pastor”, aprendimos acerca de Jesús como el Buen Pastor y las cualidades únicas de un buen pastor: Está dispuesto a arriesgar su vida para proteger a sus ovejas. A sus ovejas llama por su nombre, y ellas conocen su voz. Él mantiene seguras a sus ovejas. Él guía a las ovejas. Las corrige cuando es necesario. Siempre vigila a sus ovejas. Él lleva a las ovejas a pastos verdes donde pueden comer con…

The Good Shepherd and His Sheep
“He will feed his flock like a shepherd. He will carry the lambs in his arms, holding them close to his heart. He will gently lead the mother sheep with their young. (Isaiah 40:11 NLT) In our previous devotional, “Our Good Shepherd,” we learned about Jesus as the Good Shepherd and the unique qualities of a good shepherd. He is willing to risk his life to protect his sheep. He calls his sheep by name, and they know his voice. He keeps his sheep safe. He guides the sheep. He corrects them when needed. He always keeps an eye on his sheep. He leads the sheep into green pastures…

Mi Buen Pastor
Yo soy el buen pastor; conozco a mis ovejas, y ellas me conocen a mí, como también mi Padre me conoce a mí, y yo conozco al Padre. Así que sacrifico mi vida por las ovejas. Juan 10:14-15 NLT Mis amigos y yo decidimos estudiar el libro, Explorando lo Divino: Buscando a Dios en el Vino, la Lana y la Miel Silvestre, de Margaret Feinberg. El título despertó mi interés. Como soy una chica de ciudad que nunca ha estado en una granja, desconozco el significado espiritual de las ovejas, el vino y la miel silvestre. Pero estaba emocionada porque sabía que había una razón por la que Dios…

Our Good Shepherd
“I am the good shepherd; I know my own sheep, and they know me, just as my Father knows me and I know the Father. So I sacrifice my life for the sheep.” John 10:14-15 NLT My friends and I decided to study the book “Scouting the Divine: Searching for God in Wine, Wool, and Wild Honey” by Margaret Feinberg. The title piqued my interest. Since I’m a city girl who has never been on a farm, I am unaware of the spiritual significance of sheep, wine, and wild honey. But I was excited because I knew there was a reason God selected this book for us to study. So…

Our Unchanging Father
We were able to learn a few of our Father’s characteristics in our devotional “You Can Count on Me.” Our Father is seen as all-knowing, all-powerful, ever-present, and always faithful to His Word throughout the Scriptures. Today, we’re going to get to know our Father more intimately. God loves us and demonstrated it to us by sending Jesus to die in our place and receive the punishment we deserved. 1 John 4:10 says, “This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins” (New International Version) Furthermore, we learn from Psalm 100:5, “For the…

You Can Count on Me
Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have the confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. (Hebrew 10:19-23 NIV) How often have our family and friends…
