Lord's Day Devotion - Jesus, God's Servant

 


Ever notice how some of the New Testament epistles' opening lines read?  It names the writer (s) and then annotates, "'a', or 'the', servant (s) of Jesus Christ ...".  For instance, the epistle to the Philippians begins,

"Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, ..." (Philippians 1:1 ESV).

If you skip over to the epistle James wrote, you'll see,

"James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ ... " (James 1:1 ESV).

A third example is from dear 'ole Peter.  He called himself,

"Simeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ ..." (2 Peter 1:1 ESV).

Each of them saw themselves as "servants".  To whom?  To Jesus Christ and to those to whom He sent them.

Jesus Himself was a servant!  We read about Him in Philippians 2 and verse seven.

" ... but emptied Himself, by taking the form of a servant ..." (ESV).

Jesus was a servant of God to all mankind.  He suffered, bled and died because,

" ... the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all" (Isaiah 53:6 ESV).

His purpose in coming to earth was sacrifcial.  He was the sacrificial Lamb of God.  He was the suffering servant come to take our place.

Servants, in general,

 "come to make things better for others, with respect and effort" (anonymous quote).

Servants come to serve.  They should be humble and obedient.  We see that Jesus did not open His mouth while enduring the pain and shame of our sins.  It was prophesied by Isaiah.

"He was oppressed, and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth ..."              (Isaiah 53:7 ESV).

Servants often take the blame for mistakes and mishaps they did not create. It is unjust blame.  Jesus, our suffering servant took all our iniquities and transgressions upon Himself.  This was vastly unjust because He was the sinless, spotless Lamb of God.

Why should He have had to take all that?

But He was willing, humble and obedient to God, Whom He served flawlessly.

Do we take Jesus for granted?

Or, do we appreciate, even minutely, what He has done for us?  It can be difficult to comprehend it all but we can give Him our thanks and praise.  

One way would be to become His willing, humble and obedient servant ourselves, and serve Him as He desires and so let His will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.

Another way, is to do what He had asked His disciples to do in remembrance of Him.

Let's do so together my brothers and sisters-in-Christ, even as we remember Him in His death and resurrection on any given Lord's Day.  Partake of the broken bread.  Drink of the cup of wine and give Him our grateful praise from hearts full of thanksgiving.  Do this until He comes.

Perhaps today.

LAMENT - How Long, O LORD? (Psalm 13:1-2)

 


O LORD, I lament for the loss of lives and the trauma caused by violence in Nigeria.  Men and boys are killed, leaving the women and girls vulnerable.  They are kidnapped and abused at the hands of evil men.  

Satan goads them and they respond according to his will.  Break down these forces with Your Holy Spirit's work and Your people praying and lamenting on the victims' behalf.    The victims are so very helpless on their own at this stark injustice, but You, O Lord are their valiant one who can help deliver them from all their foes.

May Your compassion be upon them.  Bring healing for any who survive.  Restore affected communities.  Intercede on the side of justice, bring peace and safety.

Strengthen the Church in Nigeria.  Awaken Your people globally to weep with those who weep. 

 "To weep at this violence, deprivation and physical freedom, bodily harm to Your people, the damage to their property and the mental abuse of severe threats". 

 It is all so very horrendous.

May they have the courage needed to remain steadfast in You, Lord.  To be ever faithful to continue to proclaim Jesus and the salvation He offers.

We who live in relative peace and safety in our own respective countries, we pray and feel otherwise helpless at all of this.  Thus we cry with You Father.  Have mercy and compassion upon Your children in Nigeria.  How long will their enemy triumph over them?

We ask in Jesus' name, the name that is so hated in many parts of this country of Nigeria, because we trust in the name of the Lord and know He will deal bountifully with those who suffer there.

Book Review - Appaloosa Horse - By Anne Accardi - Publication Date: 1 August 2026

 


One of the first things I noticed when reading through Appaloosa Horses, was the lovely pictures. To me, horses are most often breathtaking and these fit into that category.  The horses appeared to be looking gently, right at me, as if saying, "Hello!".  They made me smile.

In my opinion, the accompanying script was simple and basic enough for potential young readers to read, understand, and subsequently learn about these beautiful creatures.  Additionally, the Nez Pearce, a Native American tribal group, got honorable mention.  Elements of multicultural interest are a plus for me.

Other book features are the glossary of terms used within the book and then the 'Thinking Questions' that I believe gives added impact towards educational input.

Overall, I give this children's non-fiction, educational work, a 5 Star rating.

Book Review - One In Five - By Elizabeth J. Letourneaux and Luke Malone - Publication Date: 18 August 2026


 To me, this book presents a comprehensive, serious, yet understandable, look that is helpful and hopeful in outlook for the prevention of Child Sexual Abuse (CSA).  It's helpful in knowing how large the scope of occurance of CSA and how to spot potential hazards for children.

It takes a good look at prevention, incarceration of offenders, laws and legislation governing the issues and offenses.  The morphing and epochs of such regulations throughout, and from, the very early years and down through the ages until current times.

The book also offers insight into helplines the world over.  It highlights  those who feel they have certain tendancies towards CSA but who actually do NOT want to be a perpetrator, which I found to have an encouraging note to it.  

I feel there is quite a bit of compassion written into the spine of this book not only for the abused, but for the potential abusers and even post-abusers in the sense that there are some preventative treatments available to help them overcome their unacceptable desires.  It leaves the reader with an injuction at book's end.

In my opinion, this book is not for the faint-hearted.  It can be gut-wrenching and appalling even just to let the meaning of the title to sink into ones being!  Yet because of the care penned into this treatise,  this reader has been made more aware of not only the devastating occurence rate but also of the help available.  There is a lot to think about and positive actions that can be taken.  I really feel thankful for this book and hope many will be helped by it.

HAIKU - Mushroom Fungi's


 One little mush-

room grew up in its 'spores car'

to join the fungi's.


There it sat, alone

though, by the gravel pathway;

Solo spectator,


As feet scuffed by not 

bothering to slow and look

at little mushroom.


True strength and quiet 

progress, can grow victori-

-ous through rotting leaves.


New beginnings.  Trans -

- formation out of bad times,

'Mush-room' for new life.


So draw up in your 

'spores' cars, join the fungi's now.

Christ transformation.

Good Book - PRAYER The Real Battle - By Brother Andrew and Al Janssen - Reviewed By: ER Chin


 In my opinion, this booklet will strongly nudge, challenge and encourage, reaching the innermost sanctums of ones' heart, looking for sincerity, willingness and obedience to God's call to prayer and action.

Praying for and with the persecuted church &/or churches in war zones is something we all can do.  But what if you are confronted by God to do more?

There are eight chapters that lead us through, convicting and setting the stage for the serious reader to contemplate various aspects of the prayer battle; the interceeding for others through spiritual warfare prayer.

There are some very good and searching quotations regarding the heart and the heart of prayer by various other authors and godly men of God.  At each chapter end is a "Take Action" section that I found very helpful in coalescing and solidifying the direction of each chapter's respective aspect, in my mind and heart in regards to praying and how to pray more effectively for our brothers and sisters-in-Christ.

I highly recommend reading this booklet and joining hands in prayer, with and for, believers in Jesus Christ who are in crisis the world over.
