Good morning, everyone,   Our theme for this month: “You are not alone”   Our Bible verse for today: “Be strong and courageous; don’t be terrified or afraid of them. For it is the Lord your God who goes with you; He will not leave you or forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6 (CSB)   Our thought for today: “God is already there”   Going to strange places, meeting new people, facing an uncertain future – those are all examples of situations which can cause us anxiety and fear. I remember a time some years ago when I had been visiting with three different young men, in three different jails. Each of them had been raised in Christian homes, each of them had strayed from the Lord and ended up involved in things they shouldn’t have been involved in, and each of them was potentially facing an extended period of incarceration. Their futures were uncertain and scary. Life in prison can be dangerous.   I have also known other Christians who were unemployed and in desperate need of a job. Every day they found themselves walking into new offices and job sites, meeting people they didn’t know but who had the authority to hire them, and trying to make a good enough impression on those strategic people to convince them to give them the job.   There have been others whose marriages were on the brink of failing; others with financial problems who were close to bankruptcy; some with wayward children addicted to drugs or engaged in other high-risk lifestyles. In all those cases the outcome and the future were uncertain, and the situations were filled with anxiety and fear.   In the book of Deuteronomy Moses was preparing the nation of Israel to finally cross the Jordan River and take possession of the Promised Land. The people were worried. It was a land filled with giants and strong armies, fortified cities and strange geography, and new cultures with strange customs. But what did Moses tell them? “Be strong and courageous … The Lord your God goes with you … He will not leave you or forsake you.”   When the Israelites arrived in the Promised Land, they discovered that God was already there waiting for them. He had gone ahead of them and prepared the way, and He was prepared to fight the battle for them. It’s true that they would still have to do their part – they would still have to put one foot in front of the other, cover the distance, storm the ramparts, and engage in the fight. But the outcome was predetermined. God had promised victory.   Whatever difficult situations you are facing, whatever giants are staring at you from across the horizon, know that God has gone before you and He will already be there when you get there. You will never walk into any situation where God is not already there. This is a wonderful and powerful truth. God will never leave you. He will never forsake you. And wherever you go, He will already be there when you arrive. You will not be alone.   God bless, Pastor Jim   (If you like what you are reading in these daily devotionals and if you would like more content from Oak Hill Baptist Church, join us on Sundays at 10:00 – in-person if you are nearby or, if you are geographically distant or if you just can’t make it, online at www.YouTube.com/@oakhillbaptistcrossville

Good morning, everyone,   Our theme for this month: “You are not alone”   Our Bible verse for today: “Lord, I seek refuge in You; let me never be disgraced. In Your justice, rescue and deliver me; listen closely to me and save me. Be a rock of refuge for me where I can always go.” Psalm 71:1-3 (CSB)   Our thought for today: “God is with you”   Psalm 71 is a great affirmation of God’s faithfulness in times of trouble. On the one hand, the Psalmist writes about the various trials and tribulations he has experienced throughout a long life. He tells of oppressive opponents who have attempted to deal with him unjustly; powerful and wicked people who sought to do him harm; and enemies who have plotted against him.   But then he declares that through it all God had always been there for him. He speaks of how God consistently delivered him from the schemes of the wicked; he declares that he has come to know that God is his rock and his fortress; he writes that from the earliest days he has depended on God.   All throughout the Psalm he weaves in words of hope, confidence, and praise for his God. “But I will hope continually and will praise You more and more.” (v 14); “God, You have taught me from my youth, and I still proclaim Your wonderful works.” (v 17); “My lips will shout for joy when I sing praise to You because You have redeemed me.” (v 23); “Therefore, my tongue will proclaim Your righteousness all day long, for those who seek my harm will be disgraced and confounded.” (v 24)   Psalm 71 was written by a man who knew from experience that God would never forsake him nor leave him alone. More than that, he had learned that when he intentionally turned to God for help, strength, or refuge, God provided it. The same is true for you and for me. God has promised to never leave you nor forsake you. He has offered to be your refuge and your strength. He will protect you and guide you. And, through it all you will come to know Him in a much deeper and more personal way, just as the writer of this Psalm did.   Psalms like this have been included in the Bible for our instruction. This isn’t just an historical story of how God protected and provided for one man. It’s intended instead as a model, an example of how God cares for us as well. Through this Psalm God is speaking to you: “I will be your rock, your strong fortress, your rescuer, your deliverer. I will give you peace, assurance, and hope. I am here for you.”   In your times of trouble go to God and then be patient. He will be there for you and He will help you. You are not alone. God is with you.   God bless, Pastor Jim   (If you like what you are reading in these daily devotionals and if you would like more content from Oak Hill Baptist Church, join us on Sundays at 10:00 – in-person if you are nearby or, if you are geographically distant or if you just can’t make it, online at www.YouTube.com/@oakhillbaptistcrossville

Good morning, everyone,   Our theme for this month: “You are not alone”   Our Bible verse for today: “I will never leave you or abandon you.” Hebrews 13:5 (CSB)   Our thought for today: “You are not alone”   Thank you for your patience with me while I was away on a mission trip to the Amazon Jungle and the Andes Mountains in Peru. It was a great mission trip. We saw God at work in multiple ways and our team had the privilege of joining Him in His work in those remote places.   Now our daily devotional messages will commence again, with a new theme for the month of August.   One of the greatest fears most people have is the fear of being left alone. The thought of being alone in the world is frightening. Whether the reason is the break-up of a relationship, the death of a loved one, conflict with a longtime friend, or moving to a new location, the thought of being alone is unsettling for most of us. (I can certainly relate. After losing my wife, son, and daughter to death, and my two youngest children and only grandchild living a thousand miles away, I knew the emptiness of loneliness. I am so grateful that the Lord brought Aimee to be my wife and to share this season of life with me!)   Perhaps the worst form of feeling alone is the loneliness that comes from having been abandoned. The spouse you love leaves you for another; the children you raised now want little to do with you; the friend you depended on and trusted has betrayed you; or maybe worst of all, a child is abandoned by a parent. Not only does that abandonment disrupt comfortable patterns and create huge holes in our lives, but it also damages our sense of self-worth. It’s at times like that when Satan moves in and begins whispering lies about us being unworthy of love or friendship.   But God is always with us. Our heavenly Father will never abandon us. Jesus is a friend who is closer than a brother. The Holy Spirit doesn’t just walk alongside us but lives within us. The great truth is that with God we are never alone and we are never abandoned.   All this month we will explore the truth that God will never leave us, nor will He will ever forsake us. That being the case, a close relationship with God will provide us with the comfort and stability that no relationship on earth ever can. When everything around us seems to be falling apart, God will be a source of strength and stability. When those closest to us – the ones we depend on the most, are no longer there or no longer dependable, God will be there and He will be dependable.   The great truth is that Christians will never be abandoned by their Heavenly Father and therefore we are never really alone.   God bless, Pastor Jim (If you like what you are reading in these daily devotionals and if you would like more content from Oak Hill Baptist Church, join us on Sundays at 10:00 – in-person if you are nearby or, if you are geographically distant or if you just can’t make it, online at www.YouTube.com/@oakhillbaptistcrossville

Good morning, everyone,   Our theme for this month: “Be gracious, even when others aren’t”   Our Bible verse for today: “At the same time pray also for us that God may open a door to us for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ …” Colossians 4:3 (CSB)   Our thought for today: “Please pray for us”   Today Aimee and I will be leaving on a mission trip with a group from our church. We will be going first to the Amazon Jungle in Peru to spend some time at the El Arca Children’s Home in Puerto Maldenado. Then we will go to the city of Cusco, high up in the Andes Mountains, and we will visit the ancient Inca ruins at Machu Picchu.   El Arca is a ministry directed by my friend Bud Lenz. He and his wife, Laura, and their nine biological children began El Arca more than twenty-five years ago. Over those years they have provided a Christian home for hundreds of orphaned and abandoned Peruvian children (at times having as many as thirty or forty children in their care.)   In the early years, El Arca was in a remote location in the Andes Mountains. For the last decade the home has been on 110 acres at the edge of the southern Amazon Rainforest. I have been taking teams to El Arca to minister alongside of them for more than twenty years (these days a young couple in our church are the team leaders and I just get to go along for the ride.)   Things are a little different at El Arca now compared to years ago. Bud is seventy-one. Laura is in heaven. The nine biological children are all grown and live in different locations in the USA and around the world. So, with the assistance of a few of the Peruvian children who grew up in El Arca and who are now young adults, Bud runs the ministry himself. By necessity, there are fewer children than in years past, perhaps a dozen, but the work of caring for them, tending to the animals and crops, and being a strong Christian witness in the community goes on.   On this mission trip we will bring supplies to Bud, help with some tasks with the land and buildings, but mostly, our goal is to provide fellowship and encouragement for my old friend.   The next daily devotional message you will receive from me will be on Monday August 3rd. At that time, we will continue our thinking about being gracious even when others aren’t. Until then, I would like to ask you to do two things. One: pray for Bud and for our team every day when you would normally be reading the devotional message. And two: each day go back and review some of the devotional messages from this month.   Without question, our society needs to experience increased measures of graciousness. You can be one of those who are gracious even when others aren’t.   God bless, Pastor Jim   (If you like what you are reading in these daily devotionals and if you would like more content from Oak Hill Baptist Church, join us on Sundays at 10:00 – in-person if you are nearby or, if you are geographically distant or if you just can’t make it, online at www.YouTube.com/@oakhillbaptistcrossville

Good morning, everyone,   Our theme for this month: “Be gracious, even when others aren’t”   Our Bible verse for today: “One of his disciples, the one Jesus loved, was reclining close beside Jesus … This is the disciple who testified to these things …” John 13:23; 21:24 (CSB)   Our thought for today: “What if you lived like you’re loved?”   There’s a song by the artist Hawk Nelson which was popular on Christian radio a few years ago. The title is “Live like you’re loved”. The chorus goes:   “So go ahead and live like you’re loved It’s ok to act like you’ve been set free His love has made you more than enough So go ahead and be who he made you to be.”   What if we really did live like we knew we are loved by God? How much would that change us? Sociologists have a theory they call “The Looking-Glass Self”. This theory holds that over time a child will become what the most important person in their life thinks they are. So, if the most important person to that child is their mother, and if the mother constantly tells the child they are stupid, the child will inevitably do poorly in school. But if the mother constantly affirms the child’s intelligence, that child will do well. You will become what the most important person in your life believes you to be.   Jesus was the most important person in the life of the Apostle John. Early on, when John first began following Jesus, Jesus playfully referred to him and his brother James as “The Sons of Thunder!” That was because John and James were rough tough fishermen with short tempers and loud mouths. But Jesus knew John could be different and better. After spending three years with Jesus, and realizing that he was deeply loved by Him, John changed into the man Jesus believed him to be.   Historically John became known as “The Apostle of Love”. That was because being loved by Jesus was the most important reality in John’s life and it is what formed his personality. It changed John to the point that he went from being a “Son of Thunder” to “the Apostle of Love.”   What if we lived like we knew we are loved by God? Philip Yancey asks the question, “How would my life change if I truly believed the Bible’s astounding words about God’s love for me, if I looked in the mirror and saw what God sees?”   Becoming a gracious person begins with receiving God’s grace. You can’t give what you don’t have. So first and foremost, receive His grace and know that you are loved. Then His grace and His love will change you. You will begin to become the person He knows you can be.   God bless, Pastor Jim   (If you like what you are reading in these daily devotionals and if you would like more content from Oak Hill Baptist Church, join us on Sundays at 10:00 – in-person if you are nearby or, if you are geographically distant or if you just can’t make it, online at www.YouTube.com/@oakhillbaptistcrossville

Good morning, everyone,   Our theme for this month: “Be gracious, even if others aren’t”   Our Bible verse for today: “I delight in your commands, which I love. I will lift up my hands to your commands, which I love, and will mediate on your statutes. Remember your word to your servant; you have given me hope through it. This is my comfort in my affliction: Your promise has given me life.” Psalm 119:47-48 (CSB)   Our thought for today: “Equal measures of grace and truth”     Psalm 119 is the longest of the Psalms and it is the longest chapter in the Bible. It is 176 verses celebrating the beauty of the Word of God. It begins with the joyful declaration: “How happy are those whose way is blameless, who walk according to the Lord’s instruction! Happy are those who keep his decrees and seek him with all their heart.” 119:1-2   What’s interesting about Psalm 119, and what also tends to be true of the Bible in general, is that it alternates between roughly equal measures of grace and truth. We are told we need to know and obey God’s commands, and then we will be blessed we will be if we do that. The clear lesson is that the best life you will ever have is the one that is lived in obedience to God’s commands, because that then keeps you within the Biblical boundaries whereby God can bless you.   This is why God gives us equal measures of grace and truth. The truth is for our own good and is designed to help us live well. The grace is because He loves us and thoroughly enjoys blessing us. Because God so wants to bless us, He gives us all the truth we need so we can live in such a way that He can bless. Author Mark Batterson explained it this way: “Grace means I’ll love you no matter what. Truth means I’ll be honest with you no matter what.”   That’s what God does for us and it’s what we need to do for each other. We need to love each other no matter what, and we need to speak Biblical truth to each other no matter what. And if we do love each other without condition and without reservation, the truth will be communicated in a gracious manner.   Psalm 119 is a great testimony by a writer who learned from personal experience the value of knowing God’s Word and then living by it. He found that his life was blessed when he did live by it, and it was troubled when he didn’t. He then went on to share that wisdom with the rest of us in this Psalm.   The great preacher and writer Charles Spurgeon once observed, “A Bible that is falling apart usually belongs to someone who isn’t.” God wants you to live well and to live blessed. In the Bible He has provided all the truth we need so we can live in a way He can bless.     God bless, Pastor Jim   (If you like what you are reading in these daily devotionals and if you would like more content from Oak Hill Baptist Church, join us on Sundays at 10:00 – in-person if you are nearby or, if you are geographically distant or if you just can’t make it, online at www.YouTube.com/@oakhillbaptistcrossville

Good morning, everyone,   Our theme for this month: “Be gracious, even when others aren’t”   Our Bible verse for today: “You reveal the path of life to me; in your presence is abundant joy; at your right hand are eternal pleasures.” Psalm 16:11 (CSB)   Our thought for today: “Your circumstances should not determine your attitude”   People often make the mistake of thinking they would be happier, nicer, more content, not as grumpy, and they would have more joy if their circumstances were different. If their spouse was nicer, if they had a better job, if their co-workers were more competent, if they lived somewhere else … if, if, if, then life would be better.   But usually that’s not true. There is no perfect spouse. There are no faultless co-workers, no stress-free jobs, and no ideal places to live. There’s something wrong with everything and everyone. A joyful and gracious countenance has nothing to do with your occupation, your education, your income level, your geography, or your spouse. A winsome personality doesn’t happen because everything in your life is perfect. Instead, it’s a matter of who you are as a person and the condition of your relationship with God.   If you are consistently unhappy, and if you find yourself struggling with relationships at home, on the job, and elsewhere in life, there’s a pretty good chance the problem isn’t external, it’s internal. The problem isn’t “them” – it’s you. You are the common denominator in all of that.   You’ve probably heard it said, “Wherever you go, there you are.” In other words, “You take yourself with you wherever you go.” So, if you are unhappy in one setting, and then in another, and in still another, there’s a pretty good chance that will continue to be true even if the setting changes again – and it will be so because you took yourself with you everywhere you went.   The answer to that dilemma is touched on by the Psalmist in Psalm 16:11, “in the presence of the Lord there is joy.” In other words, if your relationship with the Lord is strong and well-developed it will produce a deep sense of joy in you. That then is what you will carry with you wherever you go. And that joy of the Lord will be the factor that determines your demeanor, not whatever the circumstances happen to be at any given moment and in any given place.   It’s easy to believe that if we can improve the circumstances of our lives then we’ll be truly happy. So, if we lose weight, meet the right person, get a better job, or whatever, then everything will be better. But the truth is that the best thing any of us can do is to develop a deep and abiding joy-producing relationship with the Lord. That then will be the condition of your heart and that will determine your attitude – and your attitude will then impact and influence your circumstances, rather than the other way around.   Circumstances should not be allowed to dictate your attitude. Rather, your attitude should be determined by your relationship with God – and that then will have a positive impact on everything else in your life.   God bless, Pastor Jim   (If you like what you are reading in these daily devotionals and if you would like more content from Oak Hill Baptist Church, join us on Sundays at 10:00 – in-person if you are nearby or, if you are geographically distant or if you just can’t make it, online at www.YouTube.com/@oakhillbaptistcrossville

Good morning, everyone,   Our theme for this month: “Be gracious, even when others aren’t”   Our Bible verse for today: “Let me inherit a double portion of your spirit.” 2 Kings 2:9 (NIV)   Our thought for today; “You can be both bold and gracious”   The Old Testament prophet Elisha is an interesting study in contrast between great boldness and gentle graciousness. Elisha had served as a personal assistant and understudy to the prophet Elijah. He saw Elijah perform many miracles and he heard Elijah boldly preach prophetic words from God – even to the point of confronting and challenging kings and queens.   When it was getting close to the time for Elijah to leave this life and to be transported to heaven, Elisha boldly declared that he wanted to inherit a double portion of Elijah’s power. Not just that he wanted to follow in Elijah’s footsteps, and not just that he hoped to maybe one day become as great a prophet as Elijah, he wanted to be twice the prophet Elijah had been – and he said so!   And sure enough, Elisha did inherit the mantle of Elijah’s ministry, and he did go on to perform twice as many miracles as Elijah did. Also, Elisha had a long ministry of boldly proclaiming the words of God and of standing strong in the face of hostile kings and armies. Elisha was a very bold man indeed.   But he was also an exceedingly kind, compassionate, and gracious man. He had a soft spot for widows, providing food and protection for them. He had compassion on a grieving mother and raised her dead son back to life. He fed hungry prophets, purified the water supply for a thirsty town, healed an Aramean general who was suffering from leprosy, stopped an epidemic of food poisoning, and much more. In addition to being bold and fearless, Elisha was kindhearted, caring, and gracious.   It is possible to be both. Boldness and graciousness do not cancel each other out. As the people of God, we should be bold. Like Elisha we shouldn’t hesitate to ask God to do great things in us and through us. He is a mighty God who loves to accomplish magnificent things through his faithful people. So, ask Him to empower you and to use you.   But at the same time be gracious about it. Be kind and caring. Look out for the little guy, help those who are struggling, encourage those who are down, cuddle a baby, hug a widow, visit a sick person.   We should be bold and confident as we go out into the world in the name of Jesus proclaiming Biblical truth, and at the same time we can help to make the world a better place by spreading kindness and compassion too. You can be both bold and gracious.   God bless, Pastor Jim   (If you like what you are reading in these daily devotionals and if you would like more content from Oak Hill Baptist Church, join us on Sundays at 10:00 – in-person if you are nearby or, if you are geographically distant or if you just can’t make it, online at www.YouTube.com/@oakhillbaptistcrossville

Good morning, everyone,   Our theme for this month: “Be gracious, even if others aren’t”   Our Bible verse for today: “I have had enough! Lord, take my life, for I’m no better than my fathers.” 1 Kings 19:4 (CSB)   Our thought for today: “How about a little humble pie?”   In some respects, the scene recorded in 1 Kings 19:4 is sad. The great prophet Elijah was physically and emotionally exhausted and he was depressed. He was in hiding from Queen Jezebel, who was trying to have him killed, and he had given up to the point that he wished he was dead. Considering what a powerful man of God Elijah was and how much success he had in ministry, it’s difficult to see him in this condition now.   But on the other hand, it shows that Elijah was human. It also shows that he didn’t think too highly of himself. As great as other people thought he was, Elijah knew he wasn’t really that different or any better than everyone else, “for I’m no better than my fathers.”   Trials, tribulations, and occasional failure can actually be good for us. They keep us humble. This is especially true when a person experiences a little more success than is probably good for them. In such cases it’s too easy to get a big head and to start thinking you’re really something special – the proverbial cat’s pajamas – too cool for school.   Challenges, trials, tribulations, and even some failures help to keep us grounded. We find the proof of this all throughout the Bible. Moses was too humble to believe he was qualified for the assignment God wanted to give him. Then, even once he had accepted the assignment and received empowerment from God, he continued to face difficulties he couldn’t handle and failures for which he was ashamed. Even after decades of successful leadership and ministry he was still the humblest man on the earth (Numbers 12:13).   We find similar stories in the lives of Joseph, Gideon, David, Isaiah, and Jeremiah, just to name a few. They were all great men of God who benefited from experiencing trials, tribulations, and failures. Then of course there were others who needed to experience a big fall in order to get their heads on straight. I’m thinking of Samson, Jonah, and Peter, just to name three.   A little humble pie for dinner every once-in-a-while is a good thing. It helps us to remember that we’re really no better than anyone else. Gracious people are humble people, and challenges help to keep us humble.   God bless, Pastor Jim   (If you like what you are reading in these daily devotionals and if you would like more content from Oak Hill Baptist Church, join us on Sundays at 10:00 – in-person if you are nearby or, if you are geographically distant or if you just can’t make it, online at www.YouTube.com/@oakhillbaptistcrossville

Good morning, everyone,   Our theme for this month: “Be gracious, even if others aren’t”   Our Bible verse for today: “He gives strength to the faint and strengthens the powerless. Youths may become faint and weary, and young men stumble and fall, but those who trust in the Lord will renew their strength; they will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not become weary, they will walk and not faint.” Isaiah 40:29-31 (CSB)   Our thought for today: “The Lord will strengthen you”   I enjoy hiking. Over the years I’ve hiked in many different terrains including long miles on straight beaches, easy walks on nature trails, slightly more challenging treks in the Smoky Mountains, and I’ve even done some hiking along the ancient stone trails of Machu Picchu in the Andes Mountains of Peru.   Although I enjoy all types of hiking, by far the most interesting and enjoyable are those hikes with varied terrains (like in the Andes). The problem with such hikes is that the level of difficulty changes frequently depending on the terrain. Some parts of it are easy and others require great effort and exertion.   A hike through spectacular mountains with changing terrain and varying degrees of difficulty is not unlike our journey through life. The Bible often describes our journey through this world as “walking with the Lord”. And like those hikes through the mountains, the difficulty of the terrain we encounter as we walk through life can vary greatly.    In Isaiah 40:29-31 the prophet gives us some advice about how to handle those times when the journey gets tough and we find ourselves struggling. We’re to look to the Lord to renew our strength and energy. If we do that, we will soar as if we are on wings of eagles. In other words, God will help us to handle even the most difficult times well.   This is an important point, especially with respect to our theme of graciousness. A hike through the Andes Mountains is hard, and it requires you to reach deep into reserves of strength and energy if you’re going to keep going. But the reward is the spectacular vistas you get to see and the satisfaction and sense of achievement when you’ve successfully reached the top.   Likewise in life. With the Lord not only can you find the strength to push through the hard places along the way, but you can soar through them as if you were being carried along on wings of eagles. Rather than trudging wearily through your days, you lift your head high, you smile and are nice to people, and not only do you find blessings for yourself even when the journey is hard, but you find ways to extend blessings to others you meet along the way. That’s graciousness in the middle of difficulty. It’s finding joy in the most difficult parts of the journey, and it comes when you turn to the Lord for strength and renewal.   You can be gracious even in the most difficult places in your journey through life. Turn to the Lord and He will lift you up. He will strengthen you and He will enable you to soar.   God bless, Pastor Jim   (If you like what you are reading in these daily devotionals and if you would like more content from Oak Hill Baptist Church, join us on Sundays at 10:00 – in-person if you are nearby or, if you are geographically distant or if you just can’t make it, online at www.YouTube.com/@oakhillbaptistcrossville
