Click on Jesus

by Randal Matheny

Several programs, mostly messengers and chats, I think, have a feature that allows you to keep them on top of your screen. No matter what you pull up or load, you can always keep the program in front of the others. You will always see it. No other program you have running will be allowed to cover it over.

When you choose this feature, it means this program is the most important of all at that moment.

Seems to hold a nice spiritual analogy.

Whatever you may be doing at the moment, whatever "programs" you may be running in your life, no matter how many jobs you have piled up, keep the Lord Jesus on top. He can stay always in front of everything else. You will always see him, even when something else is loading in the background. No other item you have running will be allowed to cover Him over.

I take it that's what Jesus meant in Matthew 6.33 about seeking first the Kingdom of God. Get it out in front. Don't let any other pursuit obscure its place in your life.

But you must "click" on Jesus. You must, to put it more appropriately, decide that he will be your priority. Every moment. Regardless of the activity.

If you need to consult the help section on how to do this, let me know. I can give you some pointers.

How to Make Sure That Your Judgment Is Flawless


by Don Ruhl Read the Bible in a Year This evening read John 5:24--47 How to Make Sure That Your Judgment Is Flawless Yes, it is popular to say that we are not supposed to judge, but the truth is we all make judgments about many things daily. Otherwise, we would never succeed in life. The real question is what is our guide for judging. Why can we not simply follow the example of our Master and Lord? He said, 30 "I can of Myself ... more ...

Do You Ever Feel Like Just a Name?


by Don Ruhl Read the Bible in a Year This morning read First Chronicles 1--3 Do You Ever Feel Like Just a Name? Think on the manner, in which the Book of First Chronicles begins, 1 Adam, Seth, Enosh (1 Chr. 1:1). In this way begins the longest genealogy in the Bible. The names continue to the end of the ninth chapter! Were these just names? Adam; who is he? You know there is more in the Bible than the mere mention of his name in ... more ...

by Don Ruhl Read the Bible in a Year This evening read John 5:1--23 Jesus healed a man. Praise God! However, Jesus healed him on the Sabbath. Uh oh. Some people were ready to kill Jesus for this perceived violation of the Sabbath Law. 16 For this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill Him, because He had done these things on the Sabbath (Joh. 5:16). Jesus did a good thing. Yet, people criticized Him severely for it. And they were not people ... more ...

They Were His Servants


by Don Ruhl Read the Bible in a Year This morning read Second Kings 24 and 25 They Were His Servants As the writer of Second Kings explains whom the Lord sent against Judah, the writer said that this was 2 ...according to the word of the LORD which He had spoken by His servants the prophets (2 Kin. 24:2).

When the disciples returned, here is what happened, 31 In the meantime His disciples urged Him, saying, "Rabbi, eat." 32 But He said to them, "I have food to eat of which you do not know" (Joh. 4:31, 32).

Having a Tender Heart


by Don Ruhl Read the Bible in a Year This morning read Second Kings 22 and 23 Having a Tender Heart When Josiah heard the word of God for the first time, he tore his clothes, knowing of the wrath that was upon Jerusalem for the idolatry of his forefathers. Therefore, he sent messengers to a prophetess to inquire of the Lord. He did have a message for Josiah.
