Little Things Mean A Lot - Keith Cook
"A friend loves at all times." Proverbs 17:17
For the last three days, the devotion has been based on the same subject, an automobile accident that my wife and I were in several years ago. There are many lessons to learn from trials! For instance, you know we are to live for Jesus and are to be a witness for Him. I want to share something in relation to our automobile accident that is really important. It is how much the little things in life really do count.
When we came home from the hospital, we were taking pain medication and were still in shock from the whole ordeal. Of course, we were both laid up in bed for several days unable to do much at all. It was amazing how our friends and family came to our aid. We received over 106 emails from people saying, "get well, do better, we are praying for you..."
They were all sending us words of confidence and words of encouragement. We also had friends making gifts and coming by to see if they could do anything for us. We had one gentleman FedEx a DVD player to us so we could watch movies in the bed. Another friend brought us groceries and meals for a week. So many people were doing things for us to help in our healing.
In relationship to sharing your faith, one of the primary things we need to do if we are going to win someone to Christ and be a witness for the Lord, is to start doing the little things! Send someone a card when they are sick. Make dinner for a friend. Telephone someone just to say hello. Offer to baby sit for a couple that may not have the money to pay a sitter. There are so many little things we can do to let someone know you care. Take the time today!
Daily Prayer Focus: Pray that the Lord will show you someone that you can do something nice for today!
On The Go Prayer Focus: The physical, spiritual, emotional, and financial needs of people hurting all over the United States and Worldwide. As God gives us opportunity in times of crisis we need to rapidly move to help.

More For Him
More For Him by Keith Cook
"Let us not grow weary in doing good..." Galatians 6:9
In today's devotion, I would like to continue sharing a little bit about the story of how my wife and I were in a car accident several years ago. First of all let me say that my wife and I have completely recovered. God has taught us so many wonderful lessons through all of the events that I would like to share some of them with you.
I will never forget the thought that ran through my mind when I was pulled out of the vehicle after our accident. As I regained consciousness, a man was beating on the window of the car saying, "I have got to get you out! I have got to get you out! The car is going to blow up and is on fire!" As they are pulling me out and are laying me on the road, I asked my wife how my injuries looked. She looked at me and said, "I think it looks pretty bad."
I can remember saying, "Honey I want you to know that I love you and I love our son." In my mind I remember thinking, "Jesus, I love my wife, but I really wish I had more time to do things for You." The same thoughts came going through my mind as I sat on the road waiting for the ambulance, "I love my wife and I want to do more for God, I love my wife and I want to do more for God."
When it boils down to the final seconds of your life, there are many things that you will love and there are many things that you will regret. I love my wife! I love my son! I love my family! I love my country! But, I still want to do more for God. I know you do too!
Daily Prayer Focus: Ask the Lord how you might serve Him today and do all you can do for God!
On The Go Prayer Focus: On The Go's Neighborhood Outreach Program. In reality, very little is being done to reach people in many communities across the USA. On The Go is striving to train local Christians and help them develop programs that can systematically and permanently reach real needs in their neighborhoods.

He is Always There
He is Always There by Keith Cook
"I will be with you; I will not fail you nor forsake you." Joshua 1:5
Today in the devotional, I want to do something a little different and share with you something on my heart that I believe will inspire you and give you a confidence in the Lord that you may had never had before.
A few years ago, my wife and I were driving down the road. We did not have a care in the world. We had just left a Christian coffee house where some of our friends and family had been performing. We were really thinking about our visions and dreams for the future, so we had a great vision ahead of us, and a great past behind us.
Joan and I were singing Christian songs in the car, we were not speeding and were buckled up in our seat belts, just having a great time. Out of the corner of our eyes, we see this black vehicle speeding toward a stop sign. The boy driving the vehicle ran the stop sign and ended up stopping right in the middle of the road where Joan and I were driving. There was nothing that my wife could do and we plowed right into him and then into a ditch and hit a tree. In that moment we were thinking, "is this going to be our last"?
I want to ask you a question today? If it were your last moment, are you ready to meet the Lord? Are you prepared to bring him crowns of rewards to place at his feet? You know that in those seconds before that vehicle hit us we had a lot of thoughts in our minds. But the number one thing neither one of us regretted was living for Jesus! Neither of us called on anyone's name but Jesus'. In the middle of our triumph and in the middle of our tragedy He was there for us and he can be there for you.
Daily Prayer Focus: Pray that the Lord will show you someone who may not know Him, so you can share what He has done for you.
On The Go Prayer Focus: On The Go's GoKids Clubs. The focus of GoKids Clubs is to present a clear Gospel message to young children in our festivals, missions, and local neighborhoods. Pray for On The Go as we minister to boys and girls and share with them the love of Jesus Christ.

Take A Faith Break
Take A Faith Break by Keith Cook
We are hard-pressed on all sides, but never in despair. We are persecuted, but are never deserted; we may be knocked down but we are never knocked out! Everyday we experience something of the death of Jesus, so that we may also show the power of the life of Jesus in these bodies of ours. Yes, we who are living are always being exposed to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus may be plainly seen in our mortal lives. 2 Corinthians 4:8-10 (Phillips)
As with most people, my life is often full of stress and activity. Many days I find myself coming and going and not even remembering what has just happened. Life comes at us hard and fast. Yet each day is given to us by God to celebrate to its fullest.
Not to long ago I decided I needed to spend some time with no agenda. No computer to type at, no book to read, no pen and paper to jot down an idea, just relaxing, refocusing, without the weight of the whole world salvation on my mind.
So I went for a walk. On my stroll I saw many wonderful creatures; squirrels, birds, bugs, spiders, dogs, and cats. It was great fun. Upon returning back to my house I sad down and just listened. It was amazing what I heard. I heard the sounds of nature, dogs barking, birds singing, leaves rustling. It was so peaceful and relaxing.
In your faith walk is it time to take some time without any structure or plan. Take a simple faith break. Mix up your spiritual routine. Try reading a different version of the Bible, try another time or spot for your devotions, possible listening to a new minister on audio.
What are some things you can do to relax and refocus on your faith walk:
1. De-clutter your faith walk. There are some things in your life that need to be gone. Bad habits, bad people, bad thoughts and actions. Get these things gone. Do not let these pollute your time.
2. Tidy up your spiritual life. Finish reading all the Christian books left unfinished - catch up on your reading through the Bible plan.
3. Make a Christian To-Do list. Make a simple list of two to five things you really want God to help you work on in your Christian life. Possibly begin to have a real devotional time, start reading through the Bible, signing up for and attending a Bible Study class, increasing your faith promise giving to missions, or sharing your faith with one person each day.
4. Relax and let God work. Living by faith is really living by faith. It requires only God and you. Nothing else. With your total abandonment to Christ you have the potential to see God work in so many wonderful ways.
Now is the perfect time to take a Faith Break and see what good God can do in your life.
Daily Prayer Focus: Pray that God will enable you today to relax and refocus on Him and truly live by faith.
On The Go Prayer Focus: The "On The Go Daily" 2 Minute Radio & Podcast Program. This is a daily program airing across the United States, and World via the internet and radio stations.

Be Strong
Be Strong by Laurie McTier
"Be strong, all you people of the land,' declares the LORD, 'and work. For I am with you,' declares the LORD Almighty." Haggai 2:4
On a recent medical team to Costa Rica, I discovered that our schedule had to be adjusted, and God made it possible for the team to attend church services before going out to our first clinic site.
The service was wonderful as we joined in with praise and worship and then listened as many shared testimonies of how God is working in their lives. The Gospel message was presented, and there were many who responded to the invitation. During the invitation I had gone down with other team members to pray for those who made decisions for Christ. As I returned to my seat, a gentleman pulled me aside and began speaking to me in Spanish. I could sense God had placed something on his heart, and I found the first interpreter available so that I could understand what he was trying to tell me.
The interpreter shared Haggai 2:4 as the gentleman told me that God had given him this verse for our team. This young man did not know that I was the director of the team, all he knew was that God wanted him to be the messenger. God wanted our team to know that in Him, we must be Bold, Strong, and Courageous. He wanted us to know that He was going to bless each clinic and outreach event that our team encountered. As the interpreter read this verse, God began to press upon my heart that He was going to go before the team, and that He was going be with our hands and our feet, and He would shower us with His blessings.
During this week our Medical Team faced many obstacles, both physical and spiritual, but we clung to God's Promises. We knew that God wanted us to be strong and courageous. We knew that He was with us, and we rested in the fact that we were doing the work that He had called us to do.
My prayer for you today is that God will put a song and a scripture verse on your heart. May His Word become your strength, your power, and your directive force as you seek to put God first.
Daily Prayer Focus: Pray for boldness, strength, and direction as you seek to serve God and walk in the center of His will.
On The Go Prayer Focus: On The Go's "Adopt An Evangelist" program. This program provides funding and support for various missions and evangelists around the world.

How Great Is Your God?
How Great Is Your God? by Gloria Brandon
"To whom then will you liken God? Or what likeness will you compare Him?" Isaiah 40:18
How Great Is Your God? Who can compare to your God?
In Isaiah 40, Isaiah tells us how great God is. It is God...
Whose arm shall rule for Him (vs. 10)
Who measures the waters in the hollow of His hand (vs. 12)
Who measures the heaven with a span (which is the width of the out-stretched hand) (vs. 12)
Who weighed the mountains and the hills in scales and balances (vs. 12)
Who directed and taught the Holy Spirit (vs. 13)
Who lifted the Isles as if it were a little thing (vs.15)
Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain (vs. 22)
Who numbers the stars and calls them by name (vs. 26)
Who is the Creator of all the earth (vs. 28)
Who gives power to the weak (vs. 29)
So who compares to God?
It certainly is not the nations, they are but a drop in the bucket (vs. 15), actually less than nothing and worthless before God (vs. 17). Even humanity doesn't compare to God. We are but grasshoppers according to verse 22.
How great is your God?
To what or whom are you giving the honor that belongs only to God? There is no comparison to the greatness of God!
Do you need strength today from the Creator of the universe?

Intercessory Prayer
Intercessory Prayer by Laurie McTier
"In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express." Romans 8:26
While on a mission trip to San Pedro Mexico, God allowed our team various venues of ministry throughout the week. As the team ministered, I was reminded of the necessity of prayer warriors. In order for our ministry to be effective, we have to be dependent upon the frequent prayers of our family and friends back home. They serve as a vital part of our team.
While in Mexico, we had the privilege of visiting many of the church families who had illnesses or specific needs. We fellowshipped with them and were able to pray with each of them as well. During our last visit, my heart was touched, as we prayed with a lady whom I felt was very malnourished and near death. Her needs were so great that we did not know how to begin to pray for her. My heart was burdened for her and her young family. We had an opportunity to see God's Spirit at work. During the Sunday evening service, I received word that this lady was present. My eyes filled with tears as this once weak and feeble woman was standing, with her arms raised, praising God for His healing strength. What a Mighty God we serve!
My challenge to you today is that you become a Prayer Warrior. As God places family and friends on your heart, pray for them. Know that God has placed them on your heart specifically for a reason, and that is to pray for them.
Where there is prayer, there is power. Where there is no prayer, there is no power.
Daily Prayer Focus: Pray for those who are in need. Stand with them as a Prayer Warrior.
On The Go Prayer Focus: The Development Ministries of On The Go. This ministry team helps On The Go stay on the go! Many individuals want to make an investment in eternity through On The Go Ministries. Through their wills, trusts, monthly electronic funds transfers, donations of stocks, and planned giving they do just that. If you are interested in helping On The Go take the Gospel around the world through your giving and financial support please let them know. Visit OnTheGo.org for details.
