ON J ESUS
H aving grown up in the mountains of western North Carolina, I have always enjoyed hiking. One fourteen-mile hike I took as a young teen stands out particularly in my mind because somewhere along the way, my companion and I got completely lost in a huge laurel thicket!
When we realized we were lost, my friend took a compass out of his pocket, noted the needle pointing north, and as a result adjusted our direction. We chose the right way out and eventually emerged where we needed to be.
Getting up early in the morning to fix my eyes on Jesus through prayer and reading His Word is like setting my spiritual compass each day. No matter what faces me during the day, or how lost and confused I may become, no matter how many decisions and choices Im confronted with, my heart and my thoughts always turn toward Him. And He invariably leads me on the right path.
My prayer is that the devotions in this small volume will help you fix your eyes on Jesus every day so that you too can set your spiritual compass, ensuring that you center down on Him and stay on the right path.

THE GOD OF THE SECOND CHANCE
Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
PHILIPPIANS 3:13 14
I once heard a speaker ask what we thought God expected of us. Mentally I answered, Righteousness, holiness, love for God and my neighbor.
He repeated his question, so I continued my list, Bible reading, prayer, obedience, service.
But then he stated, to my stunned amazement, All God ever expects of you is failure.
I had to resist the temptation to raise my hand, wave it wildly, and exclaim, I can do that! I can live up to Gods expectations! I know I can fail!
But before I could blurt it out, the speaker said, But He has given you the Holy Spirit so that you need never fail.
As we begin the new year, have you stopped making resolutions because of repeated failure to keep the old ones? Do your past failures discourage you in the present and paralyze you for the future? Then join me in praising the God who expects us in our flesh to fail, but who is also the God of the second chance!
HE WILL RESTORE YOU
Do you not know? Have you not heard? The L ORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.
ISAIAH 40:28 29
J ohn 6:3 says, Jesus went up on a mountainside and sat down with his disciples. I imagine they were surrounded by green grass dotted with wildflowers, the snowcapped Mount Hermon in the background and the blue Sea of Galilee in the foreground. Their weary spirits must have felt like men coming off a sun-scorched desert looking for water!
As Jesus and His disciples rested on the mountainside, we have the beautiful picture of the Good Shepherd making His sheep lie down in green pastures, leading them beside still waters.
Just as He knew the demands that would be made on the disciples, Jesus also knows the demands on your life. And He will provide a way for you to meet those demands. Jesus wants you to sit down with Him!
Spend time alone with Him today in the green pasture of His Word. He will restore you on the inside!
HE IS WITH YOU
And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.
MATTHEW 28:20
W hen you ask, God, where are You? or, Why did You let this happen? or, I just dont understand, are you overlooking the fact that Jesus has drawn near to you?
God promises in Isaiah 43:2, When you pass through the waters, I will be with you. Is it possible you are blinded to His presence by your own tears? Are you deafened to His gentle voice by your own accusations?
God doesnt always protect those He loves from suffering or answer our prayers the way we ask Him to, but He does promise in His Word that He will be present with us in the midst of our suffering and pain. And that when we pass through the waters He will be with us, and when we pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over us (Isaiah 43:2).
He is the Lord, your God, your Savior. You are precious and honored in His sight. He is saying to you, Im here!
THE RIGHT WAY
For the L ORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
PSALM 1:6
S ometimes as I think about the accomplishments of others, just for a moment I wonder, What if ? But then, almost immediately, Im reminded that God has given me my own unique purpose in life.
Psalm 23:3 says, He guides me in paths of righteousness for his names sake. To find and follow that path, to work out His purpose for our lives, will require reading and studying Gods Word and praying about how it applies to us. It will involve obedience and service. Not because we have to but because we love Jesus. Thats the path He has laid out before us.
With all your heart just follow Jesus. From personal experience, I can assure you, youll be blessed. Satisfied. Fulfilled. He will never mislead you. He will lead you right. Follow Him!
FINISH HIS WORK
I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do.
JOHN 17:4
Y ou were created for the purpose of glorifying God through the Christlike character of your life and the effectiveness of your service. The Bible says, You were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are Gods (1 Corinthians 6:20 21 NKJV).
If you are able to finish Gods work, it wont be an accident. Itll be because you have focused every minute of every day on Gods purpose. And that purpose determines the way you manage your time, money, priorities, relationships, career, and every other aspect of your life. God isnt something you add to your life He is your life! And your lifes work.
To know God is to love God. To love Him is to serve Him. To serve Him is to know Him better. To know Him better is to love Him more. So start getting to know God, and then keep the cycle going until youve finished.
CLOSE TO THE BROKENHEARTED
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the L ORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.
ISAIAH 61:1
P erhaps the most powerful moment in our New Orleans Just Give Me Jesus arena revival occurred when Sheila Bailey stopped her prayer session to share the love and compassion of Jesus with a hurting woman. The woman had spontaneously come forward, in her brokenness and despair, to the front of the arena filled with thousands of women.
And in that Spirit-filled moment, Sheila reflected a loving Father whos never too busy or preoccupied to hear your cry, to wrap His arms of love around you, and to give you Fatherly counsel. Psalm 34:18 declares, The L ORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
