On a další bibličtí pracovníci procházeli dotazníky, které církev rozdávala. „No, já nemám zájem,“ řekl Samuel. + +Volající odložil dotazník o studiu Bible stranou. + +O týden později Samuelovi zavolal jiný biblický pracovník. + +„Nemám zájem,“ řekl Samuel. + +Další týden zavolal biblický pracovník znovu. + +„Kolik by to studium Bible stálo?“ zeptal se Samuel. + +„Nic.“ + +Na prvním biblickém studiu Samuel řekl, že se svou ženou hledají církev. Jejich syn je pozval do svého sboru, ale pohoršilo je kázání o papeži a sobotě. „Už nikdy nevkročím do sboru adventistů sedmého dne,“ řekl Samuel. + +Pracovník se tiše pomodlil a pokračoval ve studiu Bible. + +Po několika týdnech biblický pracovník pozval Samuela na evangelizační setkání v dallaské První církvi adventistů sedmého dne. Zajímalo ho, co Samuel řekne. Samuel souhlasil, že příjde. + +Na prvním setkání se Samuel s velkým zájmem rozhlížel po sboru. Budova měla jedinečnou architekturu se zaoblenou modlitebnou, zaobleným stropem a lavicemi zakřivenými kolem pódia. Samuel vyhledal biblického pracovníka. „Potřebuji s vámi mluvit,“ řekl. Biblický pracovník pomáhal s přípravou na setkání a požádal Samuela, zda by mohl počkat. Samuel souhlasil a posadil se. Pozorně naslouchal evangelistovu kázání o Danielovi 2. Poté vyhledal biblického pracovníka a vyhrkl: „Chci se nechat pokřtít!“ Samuel se na něj podíval a řekl mu: „Já chci být pokřtěn!“ Biblický pracovník byl v šoku a zvolal: „Cože?“ + +Samuel řekl, že před 18 lety měl sen: „V tom snu mě Ježíš zavedl do sboru a řekl: 'To je moje církev,'“. „Když jsem dnes večer vešel do tohoto sboru, okamžitě jsem ho poznal. Konečně jsem našel sbor ze svého snu. Chci se nechat pokřtít.“ + +Biblický pracovník zavedl Samuela k evangelistovi, který byl také překvapen, když se dozvěděl o jeho snu. Příběh byl o to pozoruhodnější, že sbir před 13 lety vyhořel a byla postavena nová budova. Samuel viděl ve snu nový sboru pět let před jeho stavbou. + +“Everything is possible when we cooperate with God in His mission,” said the evangelist, Slavik Ostapenko, now pastor of the Spokane Slavic Seventh-day Adventist Church in Washington State. + +„Všechno je možné, když spolupracujeme s Bohem na jeho poslání,“ řekl evangelista Slavik Ostapenko, nyní pastor slovanského sboru církve adventistů sedmého dne ve Spokane ve státě Washington. + +![Slavik Ostapenko](picture11.jpg) +Slavik Ostapenko \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/cs/ss/2024-04/11/picture11.jpg

\ No newline at end of file +#### Kingston nachází naději + +_Andrew McChesney_ + +Biblická pracovnice pozvala do sboru adventistů sedmého dne v Bethelu na Aljašce několik lidí, aby se podělili o své životní příběhy s návštěvníkem z adventistické misie. Část darů třinácté soboty ve čtvrtém čtvrtletí roku 2024 půjde na opravu a rozšíření sboru, aby se v něm mohlo usídlit centrum vlivu pro službu v Bethelu. Do města s 6300 obyvateli jsem přiletěl, abych shromáždil misijní příběhy k propagaci projektu. + +V určený čas se však ve sboru nikdo neobjevil. Biblická pracovnice Joy Anderson mávla směrem k velké pizze, kterou vyzvedla cestou do sboru ze své kanceláře, kde pracuje jako právnička. + +„Poslužte si,“ řekla Joy, která pochází z Alabamy a sbor vede společně s dalším biblickým pracovnikem. „Doufala jsem, že pizza podnítí lidi, aby přišli.“ + +Když byla snězena asi polovina pizzy, vešel dovnitř Kingston. Vyjádřil překvapení, že je jediným přítomným. Pak si vzal kousek pizzy, posadil se a promluvil o tom, proč chodí na bohoslužby do sboru adventistů. + +Devětapadesátiletý hlídač řekl, že léta bojoval s alkoholem a drogami v Hooper Bay, městečku v deltě Yukon-Kuskokwim s 1400 obyvateli, které se nachází 90 minut letu malým letadlem od Bethelu. „Chtěl jsem se dostat z toho mizerného života, který jsem vedl,“ řekl. „Řekl jsem si: 'Pokud se z této lekce nepoučím, pokud se nepoučím ze svých chyb, lidé si budou myslet, že jsem hloupý. “ + +Pak se Kingston přestěhoval do Bethelu a následoval tak cestu mnoha obyvatel delty Yukon-Kuskokwim, kteří opustili malá města v naději na lepší život v Bethelu, největší obci na západě Aljašky. Obyvatelstvo delty Yukon-Kuskokwim tvoří asi 85 % původních obyvatel Aljašky, kteří jsou především Yup'ikové, Cup'ikové a Athabaskové. + +Jednoho dne Steve, adventista a domorodý obyvatel z delty Yukon-Kuskokwim, pozval Kingstona do bethelského sboru. „Zeptal se mě, jestli mě něco trápí, nebo jsem na dně,“ řekl Kingston. „Byl jsem zvědavý, kam to chodí, a tak jsem začal do sboru docházet.“ + +Kingston našel sílu ve chvílích strávených s ostatními návštěvníky sboru, kteří překonali jejich závislost na alkoholu a drogách. „Pomohli mi držet se od těchto věcí dál,“ řekl. „Toto prostředí mi pomohlo.“ Řekl, že je šťastný, ale stále hledá odpovědi. „Ta Dobrá Osoba nahoře všechno vidí,“ řekl. „Všichni nějak najdeme své odpovědi.“ + +_Prosím, modlete se za Kingstona, který navštěvuje sbor téměř každou sobotu, ale ještě se nerozhodl pro křest. Děkujeme vám za dary třinácté soboty, které v tomto čtvrtletí podpoří misijní pomoc ve sboru Církve adventistů sedmého dne v obci Bethel. Jména obyvatel Bethelu byla změněna z důvodu ochrany jejich soukromí.

On a další bibličtí pracovníci procházeli dotazníky, které církev rozdávala. „No, já nemám zájem,“ řekl Samuel. + +Volající odložil dotazník o studiu Bible stranou. + +O týden později Samuelovi zavolal jiný biblický pracovník. + +„Nemám zájem,“ řekl Samuel. + +Další týden zavolal biblický pracovník znovu. + +„Kolik by to studium Bible stálo?“ zeptal se Samuel. + +„Nic.“ + +Na prvním biblickém studiu Samuel řekl, že se svou ženou hledají církev. Jejich syn je pozval do svého sboru, ale pohoršilo je kázání o papeži a sobotě. „Už nikdy nevkročím do sboru adventistů sedmého dne,“ řekl Samuel. + +Pracovník se tiše pomodlil a pokračoval ve studiu Bible. + +Po několika týdnech biblický pracovník pozval Samuela na evangelizační setkání v dallaské První církvi adventistů sedmého dne. Zajímalo ho, co Samuel řekne. Samuel souhlasil, že příjde. + +Na prvním setkání se Samuel s velkým zájmem rozhlížel po sboru. Budova měla jedinečnou architekturu se zaoblenou modlitebnou, zaobleným stropem a lavicemi zakřivenými kolem pódia. Samuel vyhledal biblického pracovníka. „Potřebuji s vámi mluvit,“ řekl. Biblický pracovník pomáhal s přípravou na setkání a požádal Samuela, zda by mohl počkat. Samuel souhlasil a posadil se. Pozorně naslouchal evangelistovu kázání o Danielovi 2. Poté vyhledal biblického pracovníka a vyhrkl: „Chci se nechat pokřtít!“ Samuel se na něj podíval a řekl mu: „Já chci být pokřtěn!“ Biblický pracovník byl v šoku a zvolal: „Cože?“ + +Samuel řekl, že před 18 lety měl sen: „V tom snu mě Ježíš zavedl do sboru a řekl: 'To je moje církev,'“. „Když jsem dnes večer vešel do tohoto sboru, okamžitě jsem ho poznal. Konečně jsem našel sbor ze svého snu. Chci se nechat pokřtít.“ + +Biblický pracovník zavedl Samuela k evangelistovi, který byl také překvapen, když se dozvěděl o jeho snu. Příběh byl o to pozoruhodnější, že sbir před 13 lety vyhořel a byla postavena nová budova. Samuel viděl ve snu nový sboru pět let před jeho stavbou. + +“Everything is possible when we cooperate with God in His mission,” said the evangelist, Slavik Ostapenko, now pastor of the Spokane Slavic Seventh-day Adventist Church in Washington State. + +„Všechno je možné, když spolupracujeme s Bohem na jeho poslání,“ řekl evangelista Slavik Ostapenko, nyní pastor slovanského sboru církve adventistů sedmého dne ve Spokane ve státě Washington. + +![Slavik Ostapenko](picture11.jpg) +Slavik Ostapenko \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/sk/ss/2024-04/11/picture11.jpg

\ No newline at end of file +#### Kingston nachází naději + +_Andrew McChesney_ + +Biblická pracovnice pozvala do sboru adventistů sedmého dne v Bethelu na Aljašce několik lidí, aby se podělili o své životní příběhy s návštěvníkem z adventistické misie. Část darů třinácté soboty ve čtvrtém čtvrtletí roku 2024 půjde na opravu a rozšíření sboru, aby se v něm mohlo usídlit centrum vlivu pro službu v Bethelu. Do města s 6300 obyvateli jsem přiletěl, abych shromáždil misijní příběhy k propagaci projektu. + +V určený čas se však ve sboru nikdo neobjevil. Biblická pracovnice Joy Anderson mávla směrem k velké pizze, kterou vyzvedla cestou do sboru ze své kanceláře, kde pracuje jako právnička. + +„Poslužte si,“ řekla Joy, která pochází z Alabamy a sbor vede společně s dalším biblickým pracovnikem. „Doufala jsem, že pizza podnítí lidi, aby přišli.“ + +Když byla snězena asi polovina pizzy, vešel dovnitř Kingston. Vyjádřil překvapení, že je jediným přítomným. Pak si vzal kousek pizzy, posadil se a promluvil o tom, proč chodí na bohoslužby do sboru adventistů. + +Devětapadesátiletý hlídač řekl, že léta bojoval s alkoholem a drogami v Hooper Bay, městečku v deltě Yukon-Kuskokwim s 1400 obyvateli, které se nachází 90 minut letu malým letadlem od Bethelu. „Chtěl jsem se dostat z toho mizerného života, který jsem vedl,“ řekl. „Řekl jsem si: 'Pokud se z této lekce nepoučím, pokud se nepoučím ze svých chyb, lidé si budou myslet, že jsem hloupý. “ + +Pak se Kingston přestěhoval do Bethelu a následoval tak cestu mnoha obyvatel delty Yukon-Kuskokwim, kteří opustili malá města v naději na lepší život v Bethelu, největší obci na západě Aljašky. Obyvatelstvo delty Yukon-Kuskokwim tvoří asi 85 % původních obyvatel Aljašky, kteří jsou především Yup'ikové, Cup'ikové a Athabaskové. + +Jednoho dne Steve, adventista a domorodý obyvatel z delty Yukon-Kuskokwim, pozval Kingstona do bethelského sboru. „Zeptal se mě, jestli mě něco trápí, nebo jsem na dně,“ řekl Kingston. „Byl jsem zvědavý, kam to chodí, a tak jsem začal do sboru docházet.“ + +Kingston našel sílu ve chvílích strávených s ostatními návštěvníky sboru, kteří překonali jejich závislost na alkoholu a drogách. „Pomohli mi držet se od těchto věcí dál,“ řekl. „Toto prostředí mi pomohlo.“ Řekl, že je šťastný, ale stále hledá odpovědi. „Ta Dobrá Osoba nahoře všechno vidí,“ řekl. „Všichni nějak najdeme své odpovědi.“ + +_Prosím, modlete se za Kingstona, který navštěvuje sbor téměř každou sobotu, ale ještě se nerozhodl pro křest. Děkujeme vám za dary třinácté soboty, které v tomto čtvrtletí podpoří misijní pomoc ve sboru Církve adventistů sedmého dne v obci Bethel. Jména obyvatel Bethelu byla změněna z důvodu ochrany jejich soukromí.

Scripture

+> In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. (Genesis 1:1-2) + +### Observation + +These two verses open the book of Genesis, the Bible, and the history of humanity on this earth. It speaks of the chaos that reigned on the earth before God began His work of creation and before He brought everything into a perfect order and harmony. There, when the earth was without form and void, the Spirit of God hovered over the abyss as He began to bring order out of disorder. + +### Application + +As we begin a new year, this is an opportunity to look over our marriage and our family and ask God to bring order out of chaos. It may seem as if our marriage or our family is falling apart – it could be an illness, or death; it could be infidelity or lack of commitment; it could be falling into the doldrums, the routine, the unhealthy comfort of life; it could be an abandonment of our spiritual connection with God and thus with one another. Whatever it is that’s brought disorder and chaos in our life, in our marriage, in our family, we can ask God to send His Holy Spirit to restore order, to bring back harmony, to make something very good out of the chaos we have created. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, as we begin this new year, please send your Spirit to bring harmony and order out of what we have so badly mismanaged. Recreate in us Your image and thus make of our marriage and family a true reflection of You. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/01-january-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/01-january-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..64ae28c8fc --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/01-january-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Order out of Chaos +startDate: 01/01/2025 +endDate: 01/01/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/02-january-2025/02-january-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/02-january-2025/02-january-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..2760485b7a --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/02-january-2025/02-january-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,34 @@ +--- +title: Love and Lead +date: 01/02/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner. 20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel. (John 5:19-20) + +### Observation + +Jesus had just healed the man, at the Pool of Bethesda, who had been there for thirty-eight years waiting and hoping for a miracle. Jesus simply asked him if he wanted to be made well, but the man’s response shows his hopelessness - I don’t have anyone to put me in the water, and somebody always gets there first. Instead of expecting him to perform any kind of act in order to receive healing, Jesus told him to get up, pick up his bed, and walk, and immediately the man did as was told and was healed as he had hoped for many years. + +It’s interesting that when the Jews saw him, knowing he had been infirm for thirty-eight years, they did not marvel at this glorious miracle but instead focused on the breaking of their tradition! They were more ready to condemn this person who hadn’t been able to walk almost his entire life for walking and carrying his bed on the Sabbath than they were to rejoice and celebrate the fact he was walking at all! + +Looking for the guilty party, the one who would dare “break” the Sabbath by healing this man, they found out it was Jesus and “began to persecute Him” and to try to “kill Him” (John 5:16). In response Jesus told them He was simply doing what His Father always does. The words of our text for today are part of His words to the Jews. + +### Application + +The relationship between God the Father and Jesus is unique to them - the triune God. But in His humanity, Jesus lived His life in such a way as to teach about how fathers and children, and particularly fathers and sons, can and should have a close relationship based on mutual love, respect, and obedience. Two important lessons we as fathers must learn from these words of Jesus: + +1\. Fathers must lead, and we must lead by example, not just command with words. Jesus said He did, “What He (the Son) sees the Father do.” Children watch every action and hear every word of their father and imitate them. For a child, their father is this giant whose example they want to emulate, and whose love and recognition they crave, and their way to seek for their attention is through copying what they see their fathers do. It makes them feel “grown up’ and “mature” to do as their fathers do. + +In explaining the words of Exodus 34:7 [“ visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation”], Ellen White writes: “God did not mean in this threatening that the children should be compelled to suffer for their parents' sins, but that the example of the parents would be imitated by the children. If the children of wicked parents should serve God and do righteousness, he would reward their right-doing. But the effects of a sinful life are often inherited by the children. They follow in the footsteps of their parents. Sinful example has its influence from father to son, to the third and fourth generations. If parents indulge in depraved appetites, they will, in almost every case, see the same acted over in their children. The children will develop characters similar to those of their parents; and unless they are renewed by grace, and overcome, they are truly unfortunate. If parents are continually rebellious, and inclined to disobey God, their children will generally imitate their example. Godly parents, who instruct their children by precept and example in the ways of righteousness, will generally see their children following in their footsteps. The example of God-fearing parents will be imitated by their children, and their children's children will imitate the right example their parents have set before them; and thus the influence is seen from generation to generation.” (1 Spirit of Prophecy 257-258) + +2\. Not only does Jesus do what He sees the Father do, but the Father also loves the Son. So it isn’t enough to show our children what to do, we must love them. It may sound unusual to tell fathers they must love their children when it should be natural for them to do so. And yet, there are fathers who did not experience that love in their own homes and therefore don’t know what that type of love is and how to express it to their children. Lovelessness can go through many generations! But so can love! + +So, fathers, add these two ingredients to your relationship with your children: Love them and lead them by example. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Dear Father, Thank You for loving us and leading us. Help us to learn what You want to show us and teach us, and help us to imitate You so that we may love and lead our own children, who are really Your children too, that the may not only follow us but ultimately that they may follow You, their Loving, Eternal, Perfect father. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/02-january-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/02-january-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..7cbf692bf0 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/02-january-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Love and Lead +startDate: 01/02/2025 +endDate: 01/02/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/03-january-2025/03-january-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/03-january-2025/03-january-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..e50d6acaf3 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/03-january-2025/03-january-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,26 @@ +--- +title: Don't Live Under a Burden +date: 01/03/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

+> Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." (Matthew 11:28-30) + +### Observation + +John, who baptized Jesus, was in prison. While there, his faith must have been tested severely and he sent some of his disciples to ask Jesus if He was indeed the Messiah he believed Him to be or if they should wait for somebody else. Jesus responded by telling him to look at the evidence of His ministry, and then He told John’s disciples and others who were listening about the John’s high calling. In is in connection with John’s unjust imprisonment that Jesus declares the words of today’s text. + +### Application + +I find it interesting that Jesus seems to be thinking about John, his cousin, and what he must be feeling now being thrown in prison for standing and proclaiming what is right and true. Jesus must have been thinking of so many of His disciples who would also experience persecution, imprisonment, and even death because of their convictions. + +At the same time, I couldn’t help but think how these verses apply to those who find themselves in a difficult marriage or with challenging family difficulties and Jesus extends to each of them, each of us, the promise that He’s ready to carry our heavy burden and instead give us his “yoke” which is so much lighter and better. Think about it, Jesus invites us to bring to Him whatever situation where going through today, and He will take whatever it is on His shoulders, take them off our shoulders, and instead give something much better to have in their place. + +I think this is Jesus’ way of saying, “Don’t give up on your relationship!” But it’s also His way of saying, “You don’t simply have to stay in a relationship that is making you miserable; let me have it and I’ll give you something a lot better and much more pleasant in its place.” Don’t settle for “accepting what life has dealt you.” Accept what Jesus offers you and enjoy life abundantly. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Dear Father, thank you that whatever challenge we may face in our married life or in our family does not have to be unbearable but that Jesus bears all our burdens in life and instead gives us what we can easily bear.

Scripture

+> If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!" (Luke 11:11-13) + +### Observation + +The disciples observed Jesus in prayer and asked Him to teach them how to do it. In answer to their request, Jesus gave them a pattern in what has come to be known as “The Lord’s Prayer.” He then follows His instructions encouraging His disciples to ask the Father for what they need, reminding them that God, our Father, will not give us anything that would not be good for our well-being. + +### Application + +The relationship between a parent and their children is one of the most important ones not only for the physical, but also for the emotional and spiritual development of each of their children. + +From the physical point of view, human children are totally helpless and totally dependent on others from the time they are born. Without the physical nurture they receive from parents, or some other adults, the child would simply die shortly after their birth. As the child grows, parents are responsible for providing them with good, healthy, nutritious food if their children will grow up healthy and with good health habits. In our day, there is an increase in children with diabetes or with hypertension or other diseases that are directly linked to their diet because evidently they have not been properly nourished by their parents. + +From the emotional point of view, babies and children who experience closeness and healthy physical touch from their parents grow emotionally healthier. The words children hear from their parents will have a great effect on their psychological and educational well-being. If what they hear from their parents are words putting them down, yelling at them, telling them how dumb they are or that they will amount to nothing, those words will have have a negative effect on their fragile minds and lives. If, on the other hands, children hear loving, encouraging, affirming words from their parents, they get the positive foundation they need to grow up and develop into stronger, healthier, successful, independent adults. + +Finally, from the spiritual point of view, the relationship with their parents will either lead them closer or farther from God. The love of the mother toward their children is used in the Bible as an example of the loving care God has for His children. The relationship of fathers toward their children is also used and helps form that relationship between their children and their heavenly Father. That is the message from today’s text, that God’s goodness to us, is greater than even the best of parents, and certainly that of those parents who fail to show love to their children. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, our Father, thank You for loving us the way that You do. And thank You, Father, for giving us in our parents the love and care that we needed to one day come to trust You and love You. At the same time, Father, I recognize that some parents have been far from that ideal. Bless us Father, that we may forgive our parents when they have fallen short of the ideal You have for them, forgive us when we as parents have not been a good example for our children, and restore us all to the best relationship there is, that which we can have with You, our loving Father. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/04-january-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/04-january-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..14abfba365 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/04-january-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: The Loving Parent +startDate: 01/04/2025 +endDate: 01/04/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/05-january-2025/05-january-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/05-january-2025/05-january-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..c747f879c8 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/05-january-2025/05-january-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,30 @@ +--- +title: When the Storms Threaten +date: 01/05/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> And they came to Him and awoke Him, saying, "Master, Master, we are perishing!" Then He arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water. And they ceased, and there was a calm. (Luke 8:24) + +### Observation + +At this point in His ministry, Jesus seemed to be constantly followed by a crowd of people, many seeking physical relief for their ailments, others out of curiosity for this preacher, and some who really wanted to learn the spiritual lessons He was teaching. There were also those who followed Him trying to catch Him saying something contrary to their teachings, or looking for a way to accuse Him and thus get Him arrested, or better yet, killed. + +Jesus, like everyone else, needed some respite at times, and at those times even a short break while on a boat was just what He needed. On this occasion, a storm arose that threatened to capsize the boat where Jesus and His disciples were, heading to the other side of the lake. Some of the disciples were experienced fishermen and had probably encountered similar storms. They used all their expertise and strength to try to control the boat and navigate it safely to the other side of the lake, but found themselves overwhelmed by the fierce storm tossing the vessel, the waves lifting and dropping the craft, the wind howling and the water filling the boat with water and the disciples with fear that they would all drown. + +Finding themselves helpless and powerless, feeling as if they were about to drown, the disciples called on Jesus to save them. Jesus promptly ordered the storms to be still and peace returned to all and the boat took them safely to the other shore. + +This was not the only nor the last storm Jesus and the disciples would face, but here, as it would happen many other times, Jesus brought them the peace and safety the disciples needed as well as the encouragement which strengthened their faith. + +### Application + +Every relationship faces conflict at some point or another simply because we all are different and try to get our own way at one time or another. In marriage, the goal is not the absence of conflict but rather positive conflict management. As a marriage counselor, almost every marital couple that comes to my office feels they are overwhelmed and at the end of their rope, that they are drowning in their problems, and that they are helpless and powerless to do anything about their relationship and the problems that are sinking their family ship. + +The same Jesus who calmed the fiercest storm these disciples had ever seen can calm the storms of our lives and families. We sometimes do everything we can and finally when we find ourselves at the end of our rope we turn to God or professionals for help. Turning to God should be a daily experience, one which will prevent many of the storms in life. Coming to God for help should not be our last resort but rather the first things we do. This is why we should have daily devotional time individually, as a couple, and as a family – those moments with God will strengthen our faith, but they will also strengthen our relationship with one another. Do you have any storms in your life right now. Talk them over with Jesus; He will bring calm to your life. Keep in mind that often He uses His people to help, so talking things over with a religious leader or a godly counselor could be just what you need and how God wants to help you. Don’t wait until you are overwhelmed and the storms of life threaten to drown you. Seek help at the first signs of trouble. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, Thank You that the storms of life don’t have to drown us and that You are always with us ready to help us.

We all sort-of expect that our parents, maybe even our siblings, will more than likely die before we do. It isn’t a pleasant, comforting thought to know we will probably have to attend many a funeral of loved ones. But none of us expect our children, or grandchildren, to die before we do. Ellen White had that experience twice, and from experience she speaks of the death of her fourth child, three-month-old John Herbert: “After we returned from the funeral, my home seemed lonely. I felt reconciled to the will of God, yet despondency and gloom settled upon me.--1 Testimonies to the Church, p. 246. + +Jairus was blessed to receive his daughter back from the grip of death. The widow of Nain also received her son back from the dead. Every other parent has to wait until the morning of the resurrection to receive their children back. Ellen White describes that awesome moment when, “Little children are borne by holy angels to their mothers' arms. {Child Guidance, p. 566}.

Scripture

+> Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. For I have come to ‘set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’; and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’ He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. (Matthew 10:34-37) + +### Observation + +Jesus is spending some time in teaching/training His disciples, particularly in what it means to be one of His disciples. The section for our consideration today is one of those that has come to be known as “The Hard Sayings of Jesus.” Here it seems as if Jesus is telling His disciples to not love their family, although that is not the case. The Andrews Study Bible provides this insights: “In this passage Jesus seems to be contradicting His teaching on nonviolence and loving enemies and family. Rather than contradicting Himself, He is making two points: First, He is saying that the gospel at times engenders conflict because of the deep differences and disagreements that arise by those who accept it and those who don’t. Second, family and its place in society are redefined in its popular social understanding. The blood family is no longer at the top of the hierarchy in the setting of the gospel. Acceptance of, and love for, Jesus must be primary. To be sure, the Scripture teaches the importance of the family bond; but not at the expense of following Jesus.” 1 + +### Application + +Conflict is part of any human relationship. What is sad is that sometimes conflict in the family exists due to our differences in religious beliefs and convictions; this is what Jesus speaks about. It is not that He causes conflict in the home, but rather that accepting His teachings may set us in opposition to family members who either reject or have a different understanding of Jesus’ teachings. + +One of the most important lessons we can learn from this section, however, is that Jesus demands that He have first place in our lives. In the Ten Commandments God had written: “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3“You shall have no other gods before Me” (Exodus 20:2-3, NKJV). Anyone (or anything) who takes the first place in our lives becomes our god. The first place is, or should be reserved for God! + +This does not mean we stop loving our family members. Instead, by placing God first in our lives, our relationship with our family changes and our family takes on a more exalted place. No longer are they simply blood relatives but also faith relatives. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, by accepting You to have first place in my life I am not relegating my family to last but rather giving You and them the place each rightly deserves.

Scripture

+> "And I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. "The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth." And God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth." (Gen 9:15-17) + +### Observation + +Noah and his family actually represent a number of family units and dynamics. Among them we find Noah and his wife’s marriage, their relationship to their sons as parents, their relationship to their sons’ wives as in-laws, the wives’ relationship to the other brothers and vice-versa, and the relationships of the wives among themselves. I often wonder what it might have been like spending over one hundred days together, confined in that apartment complex which doubled as a zoo. I wonder if maybe they had their separate quarters on different levels (the ark had three levels), and on opposite ends of the ark. I imagine they all shared in the feeding and cleaning after the animals, beside the cooking and cleaning for the family. I wonder if any of them was slower than the rest and others had to bear their share of the responsibilities. I wonder if there was ever any kind of conflict between spouses, between parents and children, between in-laws. Or I wonder if the ark was a haven of safety not only from the waters which destroyed all life outside but also from the internal conflict inside. We don’t read of animals becoming angry, or killing each other because they were hungry, or stampeding in or out of the ark. Nor do we read of the people inside the ark arguing or fighting amongst themselves. So I assume that God’s protection was not only from outside forces threatening to destroy them, but from internal conflict which could harm them as well. + +### Application + +John Gottman, psychologist and marriage researcher, describes what happens during conflict as “flooding.” Flooding is a physiological phenomenon triggered by emotional conflict and leaves people’s heart rates too high for them to clearly concentrate on the conversation at hand. He has also found that men tend to “flood” faster than women do. His research shows that taking the time to calm down before finishing an argument is more likely to help couples stay close and connected. It may be to the couple’s benefit to continue the discussion with cooler heads in the morning, even if that means the issue was not resolve the night before. + +As sad as it is to think that all life, except for those in the ark, was destroyed in the flood, it may be a lesson for us to learn that in marriage and family life, “flooding” can also destroy – it destroys good communication, it destroys healthy relationships, and in extreme cases such as abusive relationships, it can even destroy life.

Scripture

+> When Jesus heard it, He departed from there by boat to a deserted place by Himself. (Matthew 14:13) + +### Observation + +Matthew 14 begins with the sad story of the beheading of John the Baptist at the hands of Herod. John had been thrown in prison for declaring Herod’s marriage to his brother’s wife immoral, something that made Herodias, Herod’s wife, very angry. She found the best opportunity to get rid of John on the day of Herod’s birthday. Using her own daughter as the bait, she caught Herod in a moment if weakness, when lured by the sensual dance of his step-daughter he offered her anything she wanted. Prompted by her mother, she asked for John’s head. . . the death sentence was passed and carried out immediately. + +John’s disciples took his body to be buried and then hurried to give Jesus the news of his death. Today’s passage tells us that when Jesus heard the news, He departed to a deserted place. Evidently, while this took place, the disciples had also come back from their first missionary journey with various degrees of success and lots of stories to tell. People were constantly surrounding Jesus, so His desire for some time away from them was not just for His own benefit but also for His disciples’ benefit. + +### Application + +Those of us who are introverts can appreciate Jesus’ need to go away by Himself when He heard the news of John’s death. We need to keep in mind that John was not only His forerunner, the one who baptized Him, and a powerful, compelling speaker; he was also Jesus cousin. Losing John was not simply losing a colleague in the ministry, it was losing a close member of His family. + +Ellen White writes, “In a life wholly devoted to the good of others, the Saviour found it necessary to turn aside from ceaseless activity and contact with human needs, to seek retirement and unbroken communion with His Father. As the throng that had followed Him depart, He goes into the mountains, and there, alone with God, pours out His soul in prayer for these suffering, sinful, needy ones (The Ministry of Healing, p.58). + +As a police and hospice chaplain I have had to attend to people who have just lost a loved one. Many are assisted by well-meaning relatives and friends who give them words which sound encouraging but do nothing to alleviate the pain. Words like, “I know how you feel,” or “You should be glad. . . at least they’re not suffering anymore,” or “He/she’s in a better place and they’re watching over you,” or “My father/mother/sister/friend died of the same thing.” I wish they would understand that at moments of sorrow it is not what you say what your presence and willingness to listen that can make the greatest difference for those grieving the death of their loved one. Others, afraid that the living will suffer beyond their ability to survive will offer them some medication or suggest they ask their physician for a prescription. Someone said that a lot of the mental challenges stem from unresolved grief, because people didn’t give themselves or others didn’t allow them time to grieve. + +Jesus’ example is best. In His grieve, He took some time to be alone. And he also understood that His disciples were tired and the news of John’s death, as well as the constant pressure of having to take care of people, could be detrimental to their health, faith, and well-being, so He took them appart for a while. We, too, need some time off, after a traumatic situation, after the death of a loved one, to release our grief and to recharge our emotional batteries. Allow yourself to feel the pain, the void left by your loss, to sorrow and grieve. Live and express your emotions without hurting yourself or others; this is part of the normal process of grieving and healing. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, thank You for allowing us to see a glimpse of Jesus’ humanity and the sorrow He felt at the death of John. During our time of sorrow, help us to feel and to live out our pain so that healing will come naturally and faster than if we suppress it all. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/09-january-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/09-january-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..1aaf5c986d --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/09-january-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Healing the Pain of Grief +startDate: 01/09/2025 +endDate: 01/09/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/10-january-2025/10-january-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/10-january-2025/10-january-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..cb14ad2c02 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/10-january-2025/10-january-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,24 @@ +--- +title: Mercy in the Family +date: 01/10/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> "I desire mercy, and not sacrifice" (Matthew 12:7, ESV) + +### Observation + +The first part of this chapter of Matthew speaks of Jesus and His disciples walking through the grain fields on the Sabbath where they picked some of the grain to eat. The Pharisees immediately began to criticize the disciples for doing something which was contrary to their views or traditions on how the Sabbath should be kept.

Scripture

+> "Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and no city or house divided against itself will stand.” (Matthew 12:25, ESV) (cf. Luke 11:17) + +### Observation + +As Jesus heals people and casts demons out of them, some among those who witnessed the events accused Jesus of doing it by the power of the devil. Our text today is Jesus’ response to those accusations. + +Basically Jesus was asking, what benefit is there for the devil to cast out his imps? How does it help a government or kingdom when there is infighting? The implied answer is that togetherness is stronger than divisiveness. + +### Application + +While Jesus uses the example of a kingdom, this principles can also apply to the relationships at home. Here are a few things we can do to make sure our home is not divided. + +1. Marry a believer. The most personal, intimate part of a person’s life is their spirituality. If you can’t share that with your spouse because your faith is very different, how can you truly be one? Many studies have shown that the more differences that exist in a marital relationship the greater the chance that they will lead to problems and even eventual divorce. Those studies also reveal that religious differences are very difficult. When you marry a believer, someone with whom you share your faith and spiritual beliefs, it will bring you closer and keep you close to each other and to God. + +2. Worship together. One of the most powerful tools God has given us to brings us and keep us together, as a couple and as a family, is daily worship. As we study and pray together not only are we drawn toward each other but we’re certainly drawn closer to the source of our power, to God Himself. Weekly, habitual church attendance also accomplishes the same affect. When one member, say the father, decides to stay home while the wife and children go to church, a very important member of the family is missing from the fellowship they could or should have enjoyed together, but his example will prove detrimental to his children’s faith. + +3. Decisions at home should be taken together. This is particularly true of financial decisions (tithes and offerings, home budget, expenses, investments, savings, etc.), and any other decisions that have to do with the well-being of the family. These would include such things as the education of the children, buying a home or a car, health (diet, medical care, etc.). + +4. Children’s discipline should be agreed on by both parents together, and it should be done privately, not in front of the children. + +5. Spend quality and quantity time together in recreational activities (playing games, vacations, etc.). The memories we collect during these times keep us together and will remain even after death takes a loved one away. Some of these memories go on through generations. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, Keep our family together in the bonds of mutual love and within Your arms of love. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/11-january-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/11-january-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..ec70a4564c --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/11-january-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: A Home Divided +startDate: 01/11/2025 +endDate: 01/11/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/12-january-2025/12-january-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/12-january-2025/12-january-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..b9d4ee6d18 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/12-january-2025/12-january-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,24 @@ +--- +title: The Strong Family Building +date: 01/12/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> “Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like: 48he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built” (Luke 6:47-48, ESV) + +### Observation + +Ellen White describes in wonderful details the scene where the words of Jesus (from our text0 were spoken: “As the people sat upon the hillside, listening to the words of Christ, they could see valleys and ravines through which the mountain streams found their way to the sea. In summer these streams often wholly disappeared, leaving only a dry and dusty channel. But when the wintry storms burst upon the hills, the rivers became fierce, raging torrents, at times overspreading the valleys, and bearing everything away on their resistless flood. Often, then, the hovels reared by the peasants on the grassy plain, apparently beyond reach of danger, were swept away. But high upon the hill were houses built upon the rock. In some parts of the land were dwellings built wholly of rock, and many of them had withstood the tempests of a thousand years. These houses were reared with toil and great difficulty. They were not easy of access, and their location appeared less easy of access than the grassy plain. But they were founded upon the rock; and wind and flood and tempest beat upon them in vain. (This Day with God, 215) + +### Application + +While the words of Jesus apply first of all to our own personal life and underscores the importance of establishing a true foundation on the Rock, Jesus Christ, His words also tells us how important it is that our home be built on that same foundation. What that means is that the daily devotional time and prayer times are not simply a tradition or a habit but the daily formation of the spiritual life of the members of the family. + +It is interesting that Ellen White also connects these words of Jesus to our first parents: “Had Adam and Eve heeded the words that God spoke to them in the beginning, they would not have fallen from their first estate” (Ibid.). The foundation of a strong marriage and family is the same, The Rock, Jesus Christ, and when the storms of life come, that sure foundation will hold the family together. “For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ” (1 Cor. 3:11). The storms of life come to all of us – illness, loss of a job, death, conflict, accidents. All those storms that come our way can break up any relationship. But if we are built on the Rock, as hard and painful as any storm may be, they will not destroy us or our family. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, Help us to build our foundation daily on Your Son, Jesus Christ, and when the storms of life come and threaten to destroy us, may His strength be ours, and may he keep us together while the world tries to tear us apart. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/12-january-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/12-january-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..ca72428d1b --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/12-january-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: The Strong Family Building +startDate: 01/12/2025 +endDate: 01/12/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/13-january-2025/13-january-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/13-january-2025/13-january-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..96a35e3f05 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/13-january-2025/13-january-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,22 @@ +--- +title: Move On +date: 01/13/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> Now Israel remained in Acacia Grove, and the people began to commit harlotry with the women of Moab. They invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods. So Israel was joined to Baal of Peor, and the anger of the LORD was aroused against Israel. (Num 25:1-3 NKJV) + +### Observation + +While Israel wandered for forty years in the wilderness before going into the Promised Land, there were times when they remained longer at one place or another. The BKC explains: Though Balaam had been unsuccessful in cursing the people of Israel, he evidently managed to play a role in their seduction by the Baal cult at Peor (cf. 31:16; Rev. 2:14). When Israel was in Shittim, immediately east of the Jordan River where they camped before crossing the river (Josh. 2:1), Israelite men engaged in sexual immorality with Moabite women. This was an integral part of the Canaanite fertility rites (cf. Deut. 23:17-18; 1 Kings 14:22-24) and was practiced in connection with the regular services of their temples (Num. 25:2). The physical, carnal aspects of this idolatry tempted the Israelites and led them into the spiritual apostasy of worshiping . . . Baal. So serious was this breach of covenant, especially when Israel was on the threshold of the land of promise, that the Lord commanded Moses to take serious action—all the guilty individuals involved must die. + +### Application + +This story illustrates the danger of lingering in the world. It becomes easier and more acceptable to adapt to what everyone does. This is particularly in the areas of sexuality and spirituality, areas which are closely related. This is also one of the reasons why young people must be even more watchful that while trying to maintain a good, strong, healthy spiritual life in their relationship, don’t fall into sexual immorality. The other side of the coin is people who enter into romantic relationships with people not of their faith, and after becoming emotionally, and sexually, involved with them, they begin to compromise their spiritual life. Don’t linger in sin or close to where sin is openly practice because either you or your children or both could be in danger of joining the others in their lifestyle. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, Help us to move on from this place to the place you’ve gone to prepare for us, and protect us from sexual immorality and the worship of idols, whatever they may be. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/13-january-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/13-january-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..8db2a420a7 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/13-january-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Move On +startDate: 01/13/2025 +endDate: 01/13/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/14-january-2025/14-january-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/14-january-2025/14-january-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..a7dfedd6de --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/14-january-2025/14-january-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,34 @@ +--- +title: What's Your Inheritance? +date: 01/14/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

If you don’t have a will, your children will be treated by the court as heathen; that is, the court may not make the choice as to where they are placed based on your faith, and so they could go to a relative or to anybody else, regardless of their personal beliefs or their commitment to God.

Scripture

+> And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside. But Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it on both their shoulders, and went backward and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father's nakedness. (Gen 9:22-23 NKJV) + +### Observation + +I think there’s always the question as to what exactly Ham did that caused such reaction from Noah when he awoke. Was it just the simple act of seeing his father naked? Maybe some commentaries may give us some insights. From the Bible Knowledge Commentary we can read: The basic question concerns what Ham, Noah’s youngest son, did (9:22, 24) and why Noah cursed Ham’s “son” Canaan (vv. 25-27). Many fanciful ideas have been proposed . The rabbis said Ham castrated Noah, thus explaining why Noah had no other sons. Others claim that Ham slept with his mother, thus uncovering his father’s nakedness, and that Canaan was the offspring of that union. Others have said that Ham was involved in a homosexual attack on his father. But the Hebrew expression here means what it says: Ham . . . saw his father’s nakedness (v. 22). He was not involved with Noah sexually, for in that case the Hebrew would be translated “he uncovered his father’s nakedness.” Instead Noah had already uncovered himself, and Ham saw him that way. + +To the ancients, however, even seeing one’s father naked was a breach of family ethic. The sanctity of the family was destroyed and the strength of the father was made a mockery. Ham apparently stumbled on this accidentally, but went out and exultingly told his two brothers, as if he had triumphed over his father. So what seems to be a trivial incident turned out to be a major event. Noah’s oracle (vv. 25-27) showed that the natures of his three sons would be perpetuated in their descendants. + +The Bible Readers Companion adds that “Here the text suggests that Ham’s sin was one of ridiculing the father he should have honored (cf. Ex. 20:12). + +And the SDA Bible Commentary adds: The sin of Ham was not an unintentional transgression. He may have seen his father’s shameful condition accidentally, but instead of being filled with sorrow over his father’s folly, he rejoiced in what he saw and found delight in publishing it. + +Ellen White gives us additional insights when she writes, The unnatural crime of Ham declared that filial reverence had long before been cast from his soul, and it revealed the impiety and vileness of his character. These evil characteristics were perpetuated in Canaan and his posterity, whose continued guilt called upon them the judgments of God. {PP 117} + +So I think we can safely conclude that Ham: + +1. Failed to protect his father’s vulnerable condition in his drunken stupor. + +2. Went out to tell his brothers – you could even say he publicized it loudly. + +3. He ridiculed his father + +### Application + +The Lord is very clear and specific in the Ten Commandments when He wrote with His own finger, “Honor your father and your mother” (Ex. 20:12). Shem and Japeth took this command very seriously and respectfully when they covered their father’s nakedness in a very careful and almost ceremonious way. Any of us who have been parents know we are not perfect and there are times when we have seen our parents’ real self, before us they have been, so-to-speak, naked before us. It is our choice to follow Ham’s example and publicize our parents’ mistakes and shortcomings, to maybe even ridicule them for those moments of weakness, or we can protect them from others and thus show them we honor, respect, and love them. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Dear Lord, our Father and our God, thank you for our parents. Help us, Father, to be patient, kind, and understanding with them, knowing that like any other human being, they may have weak moments when they make mistakes. May we honor them, respect them, and love them during the good times as well as the bad times, and may we protect them from the outside by maintaining their frailties private and praying for them daily. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/15-january-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/15-january-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..b1540e9c7e --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/15-january-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Honor, Not Ridicule, Your Parents +startDate: 01/15/2025 +endDate: 01/15/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/16-january-2025/16-january-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/16-january-2025/16-january-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..a719774e52 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/16-january-2025/16-january-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,24 @@ +--- +title: A Vow to God +date: 01/16/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> Then Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, "This is the thing which the LORD has commanded: "If a man makes a vow to the LORD, or swears an oath to bind himself by some agreement, he shall not break his word; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth. (Num 30:1-2 NKJV) + +### Observation + +This chapter deals with vows taken by men or women, and makes it clear that these vows are made with God and are therefore eternally binding. There is a difference in the words used in the original Hebrew; “If an individual made a vow (neer, a promise to do something) or a pledge (’is’, a promise not to do something), he must keep it without equivocation (vv. 1-2).[From the BKC]. The SDABC adds: Not break his word. Literally, “not untie his pledged word,” in the sense of “to loosen,” “to set free from obligation,” “to make lawful,” “to profane.” To refrain from carrying out one’s solemn promises to God is an act of base ingratitude and sinful neglect (Deut. 23:21; Eccl. 5:4; Matt. 5:33). It is better that a man make no vow than to promise and not carry it out (Eccl. 5:2–5). + +### Application + +Nowadays people take promises and vow as light as if they were simply momentary opinions, particularly when it comes to marriage vows. In order to prevent long divorce procedures and a lot of expenses and hurt feelings, courts have created uncomplicated processes by which people can get a divorce without feeling guilty or responsible for their actions or decisions. These so-called “no fault” divorces simply claim that neither party is responsible for what happen and it was inevitable that the divorce would take place. What this has done is to lessen the sense of responsibility and commitment to each other, to the family, and ultimately to God that He intended for marriage and which should take place once a couple makes a vow to each other, and to God, to be united and remain so until death would separate them. + +While we recognize that there are harmful relationships – abusive, neglectful, adulterous – when none of these exists, every effort should be made to not only maintain the relationship intact but to do all in the couple’s power to have a healthy, happy, and thriving relationship, and to eliminate divorce from their vocabulary so that instead of looking for a way out they will look for ways to make of their relationship a better one each day. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, help us to not look for a way out of our marriage but rather for ways to make it better and life-lasting. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/16-january-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/16-january-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..3350de5357 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/16-january-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: A Vow to God +startDate: 01/16/2025 +endDate: 01/16/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/17-january-2025/17-january-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/17-january-2025/17-january-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..e6ae980ad3 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/17-january-2025/17-january-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,24 @@ +--- +title: A Long Journey +date: 01/17/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

+> These are the journeys of the children of Israel, who went out of the land of Egypt by their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron. Now Moses wrote down the starting points of their journeys at the command of the LORD. And these are their journeys according to their starting points (Num 33:1-2 NKJV) + +### Observation + +In one chapter, Moses traces the journey from Egypt to the borders of the Promised Land, recounting all the stops without necessarily talking about the events that took place at each of these with the exception of the death of Aaron.

Several years ago our daughters voiced some of their discontent because they had not grown like some many others, living in one place all their lives, and growing with the same friends all through school. While we recognize that so much movement had its drawbacks, we also wanted them to appreciate all the opportunities we have had, so we began a list of all the places we had visited, all the things we had seen, all the fun we had enjoyed; by the time we were finished, our travel-log of sorts covered several pages. To date, we have visited almost all the fifty states and several foreign countries; as a result of that experience, our girls realized how enjoyable our journeys had been and how much richer our lives were for having been to all those places, particularly when they thought that many of their friends from school had never left their city or county, much less the state where they had always lived. In addition, they feel very comfortable traveling to different places, they can converse with people of various lands, and can relate to what it is like to be in one or another place because they have either lived there or visited at one time or another. And when we count all the thousands of miles traveled, with God’s protection, it gives us one more reason to thank Him and praise Him. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, thank You for all the opportunities You have given us to travel and see so many different and beautiful places and for providing us with your protection through thousands of miles.

Scripture

+> Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, "Command the children of Israel, and say to them: 'When you come into the land of Canaan, this is the land that shall fall to you as an inheritance; the land of Canaan to its boundaries. (Num 34:1-2 NKJV) + +### Observation + +One more time, while at the borders of the Promised Land, God gives Moses and the Israelites with him clear directions for their future. Chapter 35 deals with the cities of refuge to which anyone who might have killed somebody accidentally could go so the death of the other person would not be avenged by their relatives. But before settling in the cities of refuge, in chapter 34 we read of the boundaries for Israel – boundaries to set the limits of their entire country as well as internal boundaries between the tribes. These boundaries were set so Israel would know how far to go in settling in their new country, so they would not go indefinitely from conquest to conquest, but also so others would know not to trespass Israel’s borders. At the same time, each tribe needed to know how far their territory would extend, and they were to marry among those within their own tribe as well. These boundaries were for their knowledge, for their safety, for their protection. + +### Application + +Psychologist have defined three types of boundaries in family systems: permeable (open, diffuse), impermeable (closed, rigid), or semipermeable (flexible, porous). + +______________________ + +Impermeable + +__ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ + +Semipermeable + +. . . . . . . . . . . . . . + +Permeable + +If we think of a house in which there is a room, an impermeable boundary is one in which the room is completely walled off with no windows and no doors, or, if there is a door, it has been locked. In this case, relationships are either cut off or characterized by poor communication or no communication, as well as rigidity and indifference. The individuality value prevails over the togetherness value. + +A permeable boundary is just the opposite; it is one with weak boundaries. The room has insufficient walls, or perhaps walls with multiple doorways, but no doors. Passage in and out is completely unrestricted. Togetherness is all important; individuality tends to be sacrificed. Relationships are about feeling, thinking and doing everything together. + +Semipermeable boundaries enable a healthy balance between togetherness and individuality. The room has some windows and a door or doors that can be opened at times and closed at other times. An individual can be free to be himself and yet fully engaged as a member of the group. Semipermeable boundaries are characterized by open communication, a healthy sense of self, and the ability to distinguish between one’s own thoughts, feelings and problems and those belonging to others. + +Relationships need boundaries for their protection. There needs to be boundaries that are appropriate to that relationship – boundaries between spouses may be more permeable than those between parents and children. Boundaries between friends should be more impermeable than those between members of the family. Let’s keep our boundaries clear sp everyone may be safe. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, thank You for the boundaries in our lives and relationships because they are not there to divide us but rather to protect us.

Scripture

+> So he got up and went to his father. But while he was still a long way from home his father saw him, and his heart went out to him; he ran and hugged his son and kissed him. Luke 15:20 (NET) + +### Observation + +The parable of the Prodigal Son is probably one of the best known, best loved stories of all times. It is much more than a fable, such as those written by Aesop, or a bedtime story, like the ones written by the brothers Grimm. Many of these stories have a moral or practical lesson to teach children, and some of them have become part of life and culture and even common parlance. The difference in Jesus’ parable is that it is not simply a nice bedtime story but a beautiful allegory of the love and forgiveness that God extends to us. + +While we tend to look at the father’s forgiveness for the wayward son, who wasted his inheritance, we often overlook the father’s love and forgiveness for the other son. In reality, the father loves both of his children – the one who left and the one who stayed – because in their heart both failed to love their father. The younger son, by asking for his portion of his inheritance, was basically expressing his wish that the father were dead. The older son, with his anger and unforgiving spirit, did not reflect how generous the father had been with him all his life. The younger son, selfish though he was, accepted the father’s generous offer of love and forgiveness. The older son, self-righteous as he was, rejected the same father’s love and forgiveness. + +### Application + +As much as we as parents would love to see our children be obedient, loving, and to listen and follow our word and advice, as they grow and gain their independence often they do things that are contrary to anything, and sometimes everything, we have taught them. Nothing breaks the heart of a parent more than to see their children turn their backs on their faith and beliefs, and to watch them live a life contrary to the principles they were told from childhood. At the same time, nothing brings parents more joy than to see they wayward children come full circle back. + +In order for children to be able to come back home, they need to have grown with the knowledge that their parents’ love for them is unconditional. We may not like the decisions they take or agree with the choices they make, but we can still extend to them our love and the assurance that as much as nothing we do can separate us from the love of God so nothing they do can separate them from our love for them. How we relate to our children will show them how they view God and can determine how they will relate to us and to Him. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, thank You for Your generous love and forgiveness toward us.

Scripture

+> (Deu 1:17 NKJV) 'You shall not show partiality in judgment; you shall hear the small as well as the great; you shall not be afraid in any man's presence, for the judgment is God's. The case that is too hard for you, bring to me, and I will hear it.' + +### Observation + +After Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, counseled him to delegate some of the responsibility of judging among the Israelites, some of that load was lifted off of Moses’ shoulders and he could devote time to other things needing his attention. Now, at the end of his life and of his time as leader of Israel, he wants to make sure that those in charge of judgment show no partiality but that they be fair in all they say and do because they represent God Who will ultimately judge every case. + +### Application + +It is tempting, as a parent, to want to help your children make every decision based on the knowledge and experience we have; however, the reason we have that knowledge and experience is because we have tried, and at times failed. When there are several children at home, it is tempting to solve the squabbles among them just so we as parents can enjoy some peace. In the neighborhood, we as parents feel compelled to take our children’s side, particularly when we believe they have been mistreated or hurt by somebody else. At school or church, we sometimes feel we need to intercede for our kids when we feel the teachers or the leaders have not been fair to them. But kids, the best untrained professional psychologists, can tell when they can play with our feelings and, if allowed, will take advantage of us for their own benefit. + +I believe children should be allowed to solve their own problems, as much as possible, so they learn problem-solving skills, and so they will mature. If parents are constantly helping them when they get in trouble, they will simply learn to expect their parents help and will not learn to use good judgment. At home, allow your kids to work things out among themselves and only intervene at those times when they have tried and have reached an impasse. In the neighborhood, encourage your kids to work things out with their friends; don’t go and try to solve their problems by talking to their friends or their friends’ parents – it embarrass your kids and does not teach your kids anything. This does not mean you allow others to hurt, abuse, or take advantage of your children. You need to teach, advice, and most importantly, listen to them; these will be more useful and valuable throughout their experience. At school, don’t be to hasty to call and yell at the teacher because of something your child tells you; if they got a bad grade, maybe they deserved it; besides, no one has to always get good grades, and one grade that is not perfect can be an incentive to try harder or do better. I know of parents who will wear teachers out because they are not doing their job the way the parent believes it should be done simply because their child didn’t get good grades. And yet, the same parents are not spending enough time with their kids at home, encouraging them to do their school work, turning the TV off and reading to and with their children, consulting with the teacher as to how to help their children, etc. + +So, don’t rush to solve your child’s problems; encourage them to learn to solve their own problems in a positive, constructive manner, and only intervene in those times when they have tried but have not been able to come up with a fair, workable solution – that’s where your own experience and life wisdom will be of greatest benefit. And don’t always take your child’s side; take time to listen, analyze, and observe, and then take the side of what is right. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, thank You for allowing us to make our own decisions and to solve our own problems; it us thus that we grow and mature.

Scripture

+> Only take heed to yourself, and diligently keep yourself, lest you forget the things your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life. And teach them to your children and your grandchildren, 10 especially concerning the day you stood before the Lord your God in Horeb, when the Lord said to me, ‘Gather the people to Me, and I will let them hear My words, that they may learn to fear Me all the days they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children.’ (Deuteronomy 4:9-10 NKJV) + +### Observation + +Moses will not be going into the Promised Land with the Israelites, so he and God continue to prepare them for what they will encounter and what they should watch out for. For forty years God had been their Guide, their Protector, their Provider, their Miracle-worker, and yet there were times when they complained and quarreled, bickered and murmured. Now Moses is telling them that as they go into that land flowing with Milk and Honey God would still be with them, and His miracles and blessings would continue every day; so he warns them to not look at those miracles as the result of their own efforts and thus forget God. He tells them to look at all the powerful displays of God’s love for them and to tell their children and their children’s children so they too would develop an appreciation and love for God. + +### Application + +I arrived at the airport and went to the electronic ticket dispenser. There were no lines and things moved fast, until I got my tickets with the words “No Seat Assignment.” I know what that means: The plane is over-booked by the airlines, and I happen to be one of the “lucky” ones to have no seat, unless someone else doesn’t show up in time for departure and I can have their seat. Since I had a short lay-over and a connecting flight, I was not particularly excited about the prospect of having to wait for another flight and another connection and arriving at my destination in the middle of the night. Fortunately, I did get my seat on the plane leaving Minneapolis and on the one leaving from one of the busiest airports in the world, Hartsfield in Atlanta, and after the more than four hours flight to Ontario, California, I arrived a few earlier than expected. + +During the time I was flying, so were hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of passengers around the world, hundreds of thousands of airplanes, large and small, suspended in the air by the miracles of gravity and aerodynamics, thousands of pilots whose brains and skills guided those planes safely to their destination, millions of workers on the grounds, billions of computational decisions on auto-pilots, radar equipment, reservation servers, just to make sure that I, one of millions of people traveling, would arrive safely and on time at my destination. While on the air, my plane was just one of thousands flying above, below, and around ours, all safely traversing the skies to their destinations. + +Each time I travel I marvel at all these miracles! We may say it is modern technology; and it is. I marvel that God gave us such incredible brains to create this modern technology. I marvel that while anything could happen at any time and planes do crash and people do die I am alive today, after having flown over five thousand miles in one day, after being surrounded by thousands of people in two different airports, after driving on roads congested with traffic in two different states, after so many things that could have gone wrong I am safe and alive to see a new day! And what God, through Moses, asks me to do is to not forget Him through these miracles and instead build idols to modern technology, to order and safety, to the airline industry or to my GPS. Praise God, I’m alive and safe, because He loves me and wants me to experience a new day with friends and family. Praise God, I can witness for Him one more day through my words and my actions. Praise God, that I can pass these words on to someone who may not have come to know Him yet so they too may see Him in all the miracles of daily life. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, thank You for the miracles of safety in long journeys across the country or across the world or across the street.

Scripture

+> Now there was a famine in the land, and Abram went down to Egypt to dwell there, for the famine was severe in the land. And it came to pass, when he was close to entering Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, "Indeed I know that you are a woman of beautiful countenance. "Therefore it will happen, when the Egyptians see you, that they will say, 'This is his wife'; and they will kill me, but they will let you live. "Please say you are my sister, that it may be well with me for your sake, and that I may live because of you." (Gen 12:10-13 NKJV) + +### Observation + +Abram had already shown his faith in leaving Ur with his family to land God would show him, but of which he knew nothing. Later he would demonstrate his faith in the most real way by sacrificing his son of the promise, Issac. And yet here, his faith that God could protect him is weak, but worse yet, his love for his wife is weaker still, and was more concerned for his own safety than that of his wife Sarai. He was selfish, loveless, and faithless. + +### Application + +Several hundred years after this event, one of Abraham’s descendants wrote some of the best words to husbands and wives: (Phil 2:3-4 NKJV) Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others [your spouse] better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others [your spouse]. And in his classic definition of love, Paul also added: (1 Corinthians 13:5 NKJV) Love “does not behave rudely, does not seek its own.” True love is protective of the other person. That’s why abuse is a contradiction of and the opposite of love. Abusers will always blame the other person for the abuse, accuse tem of being at fault, and rationalize that it was the other person who “made” them to do what they do or who “cause” the abuse to happen as a result of something they did or said. Not supporting the family also demonstrates selfishness and lovelessness – which is the reason that in the Bible one cause for divorce is abandonment and not taking care of the needs of the spouse. Love is not selfish, does not look at what the other person can do for them but rather at what they can do for the other person. Love does not withhold emotionally or physically from the spouse but rather gives generously. Love aims to meet the emotional and physical needs of the spouse. Love moves one spouse to protect and help the other. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, help us to be less selfish and more loving. Help us to love, help, and protect each other, as spouses, so that You may be honored in our relationship and that we may enjoy the type of relationship You willed and planned for us. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/22-january-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/22-january-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..1fc5d80bae --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/22-january-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Selfless Love +startDate: 01/22/2025 +endDate: 01/22/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/23-january-2025/23-january-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/23-january-2025/23-january-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..ada7dc3af4 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/23-january-2025/23-january-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,28 @@ +--- +title: An Immigrant's Heart +date: 01/23/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> “So it shall be, when the Lord your God brings you into the land of which He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give you large and beautiful cities which you did not build, 11houses full of all good things, which you did not fill, hewn-out wells which you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees which you did not plant—when you have eaten and are full—12then beware, lest you forget the Lord who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. 13You shall fear the Lord your God and serve Him, and shall take oaths in His name. 14You shall not go after other gods, the gods of the peoples who are all around you 15(for the Lord your God is a jealous God among you), lest the anger of the Lord your God be aroused against you and destroy you from the face of the earth. (Deuteronomy 6:10-15 NKJV) + +### Observation + +God knows the temptation the Israelites would have, going into the land He was giving them, to simply move in and forget He had given it to them. Moses challenges to keep their heart true to the Giver and not just simply take the gift, and the Giver, for granted. + +### Application + +As an immigrant, I can identify with the Israelites. I grew up in Bogotá, the capital city of Colombia, on the northwest corner of South America. We grew up in a middle class family, all of us six children studied and graduated from high school, a privilege not everyone in the country enjoys even today. One of my brothers went on to college and to a successful career in radio and television broadcasting and as a journalist and book critic. Another one of my brothers was a police officer for many years and has been in the Air Force for many more. + +When we left Bogotá to come to the United States, Bogotá’s population was about 2 ½; million people, more than most if not all cities in Mid-America. Our first home was in Takoma Park, Maryland, at that time the site of the General Conference, and just miles from Washington D.C. For me, living in that area was almost surreal, like living a dream. With my mother and younger brother, we would visit the monuments and museums, we would ride the bus whenever it would take us up and down the streets of that beautiful city, and all along we were in awe of its cleanliness and gorgeous architecture. I remember one Sunday ne notices a crowd gathered in front of a church, so we came close to see what was happening, and there, coming out of the church, was the president of the United States, Gerald Ford. Unbelievable! These three newcomers to the US, and here we got to see in person, though briefly and from quite a distance, the president of this great nation. On another occasion, while I was working at the Capital Hilton Hotel, just three blocks from the White House, I was asked to open and close the curtain for a program presented by the Gridiron Club. While I did it, up on the stage, barely 3 feet away from me, there stood Mrs. Ford, wife of the president of the United States, and her husband, the president, was just on the other side of the room. Mrs. Henry Kissinger, and a lot of other politicians and powerful people were also there. . . I LOVE THIS COUNTRY! :) + +Little by little we got ourselves situated, got an apartment, bought furniture and clothes, attended college, got married, and continued life like everybody else. We became part of the people, part of the culture, part of the nation, citizens of this country, contributing to its economy and well being, voting, exercising our rights, enjoying our privileges, respecting its laws. + +Today’s Bible reading reminds me that all we have and all we are is God’s gift to us. As immigrants, we have been given a great gift, the privilege of coming to this country. Personally, I’m grateful because here I received my faith, my family, and my education. Here we have been able to live and succeed, work and rest, travel and see many wonderful things. And yet I must pause to remember that the homes where we have lived have been built and lived in by others, the jobs I have had were pioneered by others, the education I have has been provided by others. That’s what God wants us to remember. To have the heart of an immigrant and be grateful for all we have and are because we have benefitted from the work of those who came before us, and because God has been the One to provide it all for us. May we never forget His generosity and turn away from Him Who gives us all. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, at this moment we pause to thank You for all You have given us.

Scripture

+> For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God and awesome warrior who is unbiased and takes no bribe, 18who acts justly toward orphan and widow, and who loves resident foreigners, giving them food and clothing. 19You, therefore, love the resident foreigner because you were foreigners in the land of Egypt. (Deuteronomy 10:18 NET) + +### Observation + +In these verses - from 10:12 to 10:22, we find an exhortation to love God and love people, which the two principles on which the ten commandments are also based. In fact, we could safely say that most if not all of what the Bible is about is those two guiding principles – love God and love people, for God’s sake. In the verses for today, God declares His greatness and reminds the Israelites that because they were delivered from Egyptian bondage they should treat the foreigner kindly. These passages also remind them that God is Judge and He will not overlook mistreatment of the widow, the orphan, or the foreigner. + +### Application + +Several years ago we helped a dear friend of ours get relocated from Florida to Wisconsin where the opportunities for work were better for her, her daughter, and her mother. The Lord blessed us as within a couple of weeks we found her employment, an apartment, and a car. A couple of months later, they invited a lady to come up from Florida so they could help her as well, and they also asked me to see if I could help this lady, particularly since she was a member of my church (Adventist); since my friends were not Adventist they though I would be more inclined to help their friend if they told me she was Adventist, although I would have help anyway. + +When her friend arrived from Florida, she went to live with my friends. We helped her to find employment and we saw that she had transportation to church every Sabbath. One Sabbath she came to me crying because of how she was being treated by my friends. They were charging her for the rental of one room more than they were paying for the rent for the entire apartment. I became furious and confronted them with this unjust treatment after we had helped them, at our cost, and without asking them for anything. Their response was basically, “it’s not your business; we’ll take care of this problem ourselves.” When things got worse, we helped this lady find another place to live and even had to go to the police because my friends were holding some of her things. + +My personal experience, sadly enough, has been that many times those who receive the blessing of coming to America where they have been helped by others, instead of helping others, particularly newcomers to the United States, will mistreat, take advantage of, or abuse their own countrymen or other foreigners. Inasmuch as I was angry with this injustice, God is even more angry that foreigners, orphans, or widows are treated unjustly and will see that His justice is passed against all offenders. But doesn’t that also mean that when we don’t act correctly toward our wife and children is as if we are abusing the orphan and the widow? Instead of caring for those we should love we’re neglecting them or mistreating them even though God calls us to love them? Let’s make sure that our wife and children are not emotional or physical orphans and widows; love them, treat them kindly, and take good care of them. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, thank You for treating us better than we deserve. Bless us that we may be a blessing to others, those nearest to us, but also those who don’t have someone to show them our love. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/24-january-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/24-january-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..49f24ce498 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/24-january-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Widows, Orphans, and Foreigners +startDate: 01/24/2025 +endDate: 01/24/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/25-january-2025/25-january-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/25-january-2025/25-january-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..4be362b9f6 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/25-january-2025/25-january-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,26 @@ +--- +title: The Art of Mourning +date: 01/25/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

+> "You are the children of the LORD your God; you shall not cut yourselves nor shave the front of your head for the dead. "For you are a holy people to the LORD your God, and the LORD has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples who are on the face of the earth. (Deu 14:1-2 NKJV) + +### Observation + +The other nations had peculiar and superstitious beliefs about dying and the dead. Some even worshiped dead spirits. The precise significance of the rituals mentioned here (Deut. 14:1)—laceration and shaving the head for the dead—is unknown today. But cutting oneself was a sign of mourning (cf. Jer. 16:6; 41:5; 47:5; 48:37). However, it is clear that these practices reflected beliefs about the dead that conflicted with faith in the Lord, the ultimate Source of life. Therefore when a loved one died, the Israelites were to demonstrate their faith in the Lord by refraining from these pagan practices. Today Christians may demonstrate even greater faith when a believing loved one dies (cf. 1 Thes. 4:13-18). + +### Application + +I think mourning is more an art than a science; and yet, many want to deal with it as a science, allowing only a certain amount of time for the person to be done with it, or a disease that needs to be treated with medication. While we need to make provision for cultural differences, what I do know is that we need to mourn in a healthy way. + +During my years as a hospice chaplain I witnessed the death of all my patients and saw how their loved ones mourned and learned more of the importance of appropriate mourning. One thing I always tell people is to not medicate themselves or their loved ones as that will delay or interrupt the healing process which mourning provides. Among those who use alcohol I also recommend they stay away from it at least for four weeks so they can grieve appropriately and not artificially. + +We can say definitely that hurting oneself is not appropriate. As we read above, God did not want His people to follow the customs of the people around them by cutting themselves. There are many other and better ways to mourn appropriately such as talking to others about their loved one, journaling their experience, invest time to help others, and many more. When a loved one dies of a terminal disease, many times their loved ones get involved in causes that raise funds for research and treatment of the same in order to benefit others suffering from the same. Look for positive ways to manage your grief. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, when the loss of a loved one touches us, help us to know how to mourn them appropriately and in a healthy way. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/25-january-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/25-january-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..6407df4fad --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/25-january-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: The Art of Mourning +startDate: 01/25/2025 +endDate: 01/25/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/26-january-2025/26-january-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/26-january-2025/26-january-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..083d9263b8 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/26-january-2025/26-january-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,22 @@ +--- +title: Avoid Wicked Customs +date: 01/26/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

And she shall be his wife; he cannot divorce her all his days. (Deuteronomy 22:12-19 NKJV) + +### Observation + +This chapter contains several regulations concerning marriage and/or sexual relations; these can be summarized as follows: + +vs. 22 - speaks of adultery, sex with a married person, for which both guilty parties were to be put to death. + +vs. 23-24 - Refers to a woman betrothed to a man but who has sex with another man - even if she claims that she was raped, it is evident it was consentual and therefore both must die. + +vs. 25-27 - If a girl is betrothed to a man, and another man rapes her, he must be put to death. + +vs. 28-29 - If a man forces a young woman to have sex with him, he must marry her. + +vs. 30 - a man can’t marry his father’s wife. + +The section I read today is vs. 13-19.

The parents had to “play it” safe by keeping “proof” of her virginity in the form of stained bed sheets. + +3. The man is punished and forced to remain married to his wife (vs. 18-19). + +### Application + +As I look at this section of Scripture, I guess what bothers and saddens me the most is the poor wife, for several reasons: + +1. First of all, her husband is not pleased with her. Her self-worth must have hit rock bottom. + +2. He finds something to accuse her of. Her integrity and purity are questioned in public. + +3. After her husband is found out lying, she’s forced to remain with him. I can imagine that if he wasn’t pleased with her before, he sure was not any happier after, either. I wonder what her life was like afterwards? + +I know this process was written to protect the woman from false accusations by a frustrated husband, but I can’t help but wish more positive steps had been specified to protect her from further abuse. + +When we look through critical eyes, we will find fault in everything our spouse does. Allowing that critical spirit to fester will eventually lead to a desire to leave them or to the actual act of leaving them by divorcing them or by shamefully committing adultery. That’s why it is so important that we dismiss negative thoughts immediately before they lead us to want to leave our spouse and cross the fence thinking the other grass is greener only to find it is astro-turf, synthetic, and bad for the digestion. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, help us to always look for and find the good in our spouses and to refuse to foster negative thoughts about them. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/28-january-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/28-january-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..0ec9686e69 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/28-january-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Serious About Marriage +startDate: 01/28/2025 +endDate: 01/28/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/29-january-2025/29-january-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/29-january-2025/29-january-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..4e2973ae82 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/01-january-2025/29-january-2025/29-january-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,22 @@ +--- +title: Nothing is Impossible +date: 01/29/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> (Gen 18:14 NKJV) "Is anything too hard for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son." + +### Observation + +God first appears to Abram and gives him the promise that he would be a father of many nations and particularly the father of the faith. God also assures him that his lineage would be directly through a son He would give Abram and his wife Sarai. Abram’s first reaction was to fall “on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, ‘Shall a child be born to a man who is one hundred years old? And shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?’” (17:17) Later God reaffirmed the promise to Abraham and it was then Sarah’s turn to laugh “within herself, saying, ‘After I have grown old, shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?’” (18:12). It is at this time that God speaks the words of our text for today. + +### Application + +I guess probably most of us would at least find it hard to believe that what are impossibilities God can turn into possibilities. There have been many times when couples come to me for help, at the end of their rope, when they feel there’s nothing else that can be done to save their marriage. Those that are willing to give God another chance have experienced great changes and a rebirth in their relationships. But sadly, there have also been those who believe that not even God can save their marriage. In a way, they have laughed at God and His promises. If nothing is impossible for God, then He can, and if we submit to Him He will heal our diseases, our troubled marriages, our deep wounds, and He will rebuild, heal, and reinvigorate what we thought would be impossible. So, don’t give up on God and don’t give up on your marriage; God can make it what He intended and what you’d like it to be. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> God of the impossible, today I thank you for my marriage, for my spouse, and for my family.

Scripture

+> "Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; 38give, and it will be given to you.” (Luke 6:37-38, ESV) + +### Observation + +In this narrative of Jesus’ ministry, Luke describes the time when He chose, from a larger group of followers, the twelve who would be His disciples. Once He had chosen the twelve, Jesus began the process of training them and preparing them for the ministry they would undertake, once He would return to His Father In heaven. Today’s passage includes some of the many things He taught them as Jesus explained to them what it means to be one of His disciples. + +### Application + +Sometimes we forget that when we are Jesus’ disciples we are His disciples all the time, in all places, and to all people. Nowhere is that more true than at home, with our family, and particularly with our spouse. Today’s text tell us three things we need to practice with our spouse often, if not daily: + +**1. Do not Judge.** One of the most basic problems with communication in marriage is the inability to listen attentively. Many misunderstandings happen when we jump to conclusions. We make a quick decision as to what we think our spouse meant when they did or said something and often don’t even give them the benefit of the doubt. We interpret, often negatively and incorrectly, words or actions and take them as their carelessness, hatefulness, or lack of love toward us. Unfortunately, often both parties are guilty as they both become judgmental of one another, trading barbs every chance they can. Constant judging leads to develop a judgmental attitude which looks for nothing but reason to point the finger and which leads to the second problem - condemnation of the other person. Jesus, instead, teaches us, His disciples, that we need to actively break that judgmental cycle. He urges us - don’t judge and you will not be judged. In fact, as a disciple, even if you are judged, do not respond by being judgmental yourself. + +**2. Do not Condemn.** When the judgmental attitude is fostered, and fed daily by looking at the negative side of the spouse in everything they do, the next step many take is to attack them emotionally, verbally, and at times even physically. Without giving them a chance to explain themselves, their words, or their actions, they are declared guilty and condemned to pay the sentence passed on them. The best solution to this ongoing problem of condemning each other is to be reminded of God’s grace. Since Jesus died for us, we have no condemnation (Romans 8:1). Since Jesus died for our spouse, they have no condemnation either. A disciple of Jesus has bee given God’s grace and must now extend it to his/her spouse. In marriage, instead of condemnation offer grace. + +**3. Forgive.** We know that in every relationship there will be times when we say or do things that are not nice, or kind, or loving. We may judge our spouse. We may even condemn our spouse for what we view as bad or wrong. And the sad thing is that they may be the ones who at some point in time judge us or condemn us through their words or actions. We have the choice to perpetuate the judgements and condemnations and strengthen a negative cycle that will destroy our positive feelings for one another, or we can begin breaking that cycle by forgiving one another. + +Jesus recipe to have a good, healthy relationship begins with these three, simple ingredients: Don’t judge, don’t condemn, and instead forgive. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, thank You for extending to us Your love, Your grace, and Your forgiveness. Help us to be as loving, as gracious, and as forgiving toward our spouse that we may have the type of relationship toward one another that reflects the relationship You wants to have with You. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/02-february-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/02-february-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..f6fa97b138 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/02-february-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: A Simple Marriage Recipe +startDate: 02/02/2025 +endDate: 02/02/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/03-february-2025/03-february-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/03-february-2025/03-february-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..4b58f5b06d --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/03-february-2025/03-february-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,24 @@ +--- +title: Go Up and Die +date: 02/03/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> And it came to pass, when all the people had completely crossed over the Jordan, that the Lord spoke to Joshua, saying: 2“Take for yourselves twelve men from the people, one man from every tribe, 3and command them, saying, ‘Take for yourselves twelve stones from here, out of the midst of the Jordan, from the place where the priests’ feet stood firm. You shall carry them over with you and leave them in the lodging place where you lodge tonight.’” (Joshua 4:1-3 NKJV) + +### Observation + +The Israelites finally get to cross the Jordan into the promised Land after forty years of walking around in the desert. Now God tells Joshua to command twelve men for each to carry one large stone from the middle of the river to be used for a memorial altar to be built inside the borders of their new homeland. The purpose God had in mind for this altar was that it would serve as a memorial, as a “talking point” with each generation, so that whenever children would ask about the reason for that pile of stones, they would be told about all the miracles worked in their favor from Egypt and all the way to their country. + +### Application + +We don’t always make a big deal about some of the most special, important moments I n the spiritual life of a person, particularly a young person, but maybe we should. As Seventh-day Adventists, at least in some cultures, we feel that celebration is a bad thing to do, so we refrain from doing so. + +To this day, some forty plus years later, I still remember some things about the rite of passage that young catholic children go through called “The First Communion.” I remember going to catechism studies in preparation, I remember my special first communion suit and candle, and I definitely remember the party and gifts afterward. Why not have a celebration every time a person, particularly a young person, is baptized! + +Baptism is one of those spiritual landmarks that, as children look into it, gives us a great opportunity to tell them what God has done for us. Other spiritual landmarks are the Sabbath, a weekly opportunity, Thanksgiving (at least here in the United States and in Canada where it is a holiday), birthdays and anniversaries. We can also make a special time during communion to explain to young children about what this special service is all about. We could also celebrate each year on the anniversary of our baptism; it would be like a spiritual birthday of sorts. Any high spiritual moment should be marked with a celebration – the first time the person speaks to somebody about Jesus, the first person they lead to Christ and to baptism, their first Bible study with someone else, ordination as deacon/deaconess or church elder. For those who are called to the gospel ministry, ordination is a special spiritual landmark. For those getting married, that day is not only a special moment that marks the union of two people but it should also be a moment of spiritual renewal and thus another spiritual landmark. Look for special spiritual highlights and turn them into life landmarks to reflect on during the challenging or dark days which come to our lives at times; they become the anchors that keep us on solid ground. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, thank You for all those high spiritual moments of our lives when You shows us a greater, brighter glimpse of You. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/04-february-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/04-february-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..828dec5bcd --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/04-february-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: The Spiritual Landmarks +startDate: 02/04/2025 +endDate: 02/04/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/05-february-2025/05-february-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/05-february-2025/05-february-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..9ff1ff63e4 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/05-february-2025/05-february-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,30 @@ +--- +title: The Challenges of Blended Families +date: 02/05/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> (Gen 21:9-11 NKJV) And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, scoffing. {10} Therefore she said to Abraham, "Cast out this bondwoman and her son; for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, namely with Isaac." {11} And the matter was very displeasing in Abraham's sight because of his son. + +### Observation + +In Genesis 16 we read about the problems between Sarai and her servant Hagar after the latter became pregnant by Abram and eventually gave birth to their son Ishmael. Hagar fled, but God told her to go back. Year later, after the birth of Isaac, the problems evidently continued and when both Ishmael and Issac were older they had problems, maybe childhood sibling rivalry, which made Sarah upset enough to insist that Ishmael and Hagar should be thrown out of the house. While God had promise Abraham and Sarah they would have their own son, Issac, even while Sarah skirted God’s promised and pushed Abraham to have a son with Hagar, God still blessed Ishmael as a son of Abraham’s. But the problems resulting from this decisions were felt not only during the childhood years of Ishmael and Issac, but for many years to come between their descendants for generations to come and even to this day. + +### Application + +In the story of Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar, and their sons Ishmael and Issac, we can see illustrated several dynamics that can be problematic to healthy family relationships and which come when we don’t follow God’s established plan for us. + +_**1. Sibling Rivalry.**_ While every family where there is more than one child will experience a certain amount of sibling rivalry, this problem can be much more pronounced in blended families and in families where adultery and divorce occurs. Stories abound after the death of a father and his two or three families fight among themselves for the possessions, money, and whatever belonged to the father and which everyone claims should now belong to them. + +_**2. Blended Families.**_ While some blended families enjoy a certain degree of normality, many experience great turmoil, internally and outside. The picture of the “Brady Bunch”, where peace, joy, love, and harmony reign most of the time, is mostly an illusion created for entertainment purposes rather than the tense reality many blended families experience on a daily basis. + +_**3. Birth Order.**_ Everyone is affected in a positive or negative way by their families and by the chronological order in which they were born. Once that order is established and then disrupted by the blending of families, it creates a chaotic situation in the families and in the lives of each child as they may be “unseated” from their birth order and must adapt to their new birth position or challenge the one who usurped it. + +Whenever we violate God’s plan for our life and our marriage, we bring on ourselves painful and lasting consequences for us, our spouse, our children, our families, and beyond. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Our Loving Father, thank you for our families. Please help us to protect the unity and integrity of our marriage and family so that none of may ever experience downfalls and their painful consequences.

Scripture

+> There was not a word of all that Moses had commanded which Joshua did not read before all the assembly of Israel, with the women, the little ones, and the strangers who were living among them. (Joshua 8:35 NKJV) + +### Observation + +After the defeat at Ai, Joshua discovered and had to deal with Achan’s sin lest all of Israel would hear about it and learn to disregard God’s specific instructions concerning the people and the nations they were supposed to conquer and destroy. + +In order to have a new beginning, Joshua read again the covenant God established with Israel. Today’s text makes it clear that these words were read before all, but it specifically mentions women, children (little ones) and foreigners. Passages like these should show us that God intended equal treatment to all. + +### Application + +One of my favorite short stories, which eventually was made into a movie with Barbara Streisand, is Yentl, The yeshiva Boy, originally written by Issac Bashevis Singer. The story centers on a young girl who defies tradition by discussing and debating Jewish law and theology with her rabbi father. When he dies, she cuts her hair, dresses as a young man, and sets out to find a yeshiva where she can continue to study Talmud and live secretly as a male named Anshel. She has such hunger for learning that she sacrifices her female role, and even her love for her study partner, just so she can learn all she can from the wisdom of bible and other Jewish scholars. + +I’m glad we have come such a long way from the days when women were relegated to a second place, some even farther back. I have had the privilege of meeting and learning from some very bright women and feel my life has been enriched by their knowledge, their wisdom, and their experience. Without those interactions, my life, my ministry, my future would have been cheated of many valuables treasures. I count my wife as one of the brightest, most talented, women and have seen how so many others, including me, have benefitted from her keen insights and talented guidance. I have worked with and known lady pastors whose ministry and learning has proved to be a great blessing to their husbands ministry and to their churches. I have sat in classrooms where lady teachers have shared true pearls of wisdom I have then shared with many others. What a shame, if all these ladies had had to be relegated to the role of servants, quietly going about menial tasks, never allowed to express their opinions or to teach or lead others, simply because society or culture dictated they had to or they couldn’t be as smart or learned as men! + +Joshua taught the Bible (Moses’ words) to women, children, and foreigners, because before God we all are equal and must be treated thus. I pray for the day, soon I hope, when we will all learn to treat each other and give each other equal opportunities to learn and teach, follow and lead, listen and preach, serve and be served, as God intended; we all be the ones to be benefitted and blessed as a result. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, You are the God of equality and fairness, righteousness and justice. Father, may we set aside the societal and cultural barriers that keep us from enjoying Your gifts through men and women for the benefit of Your people. And may we achieve, with your help, the equality with which You created us as male and female for it will ultimately be for our benefit and for Your honor and glory. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/06-february-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/06-february-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..2653571cdc --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/06-february-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: The Word to Everyone +startDate: 02/06/2025 +endDate: 02/06/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/07-february-2025/07-february-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/07-february-2025/07-february-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..4fe53233be --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/07-february-2025/07-february-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,34 @@ +--- +title: More Time! +date: 02/07/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> (Josh 10:12-13 NKJV) Then Joshua spoke to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel: "Sun, stand still over Gibeon; And Moon, in the Valley of Aijalon." {13} So the sun stood still, And the moon stopped, Till the people had revenge Upon their enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day. + +### Observation + +One of the most powerful miracles ever had just taken place after Joshua prayed that the sun would stand still; it is recorded that the sun indeed stood still for about a day. Then the kings that had joined to try to defeat Israel were captured and executed, and later buried. These wholesale destructions of entire cities is what has caused some to question God and even to come to be afraid of or bitter toward Him. We need to consider several things: + +1. Israel had no home, and God wanted to provide them with a home of their own where they could live in peace and worship Him and become a witness to the whole world. + +2. These nations had become so depraved by sin that their corrupting influence was not only spreading, but it could, and in some cases did, become a hindrance, a temptation, and a stumbling block to God’s people. + +3. The way these people dealt with their own was dehumanizing and deadly. They had temple prostitutes, the women were treated as objects to abuse and mistreat, children were abused and at times offered to idols; God could not permit this abuse on the innocent to go on forever – or until they’d destroy themselves, but in the mean time generations of innocent people would suffer. + +4. Without the presence of Israel as a nation, the world was rapidly becoming like the world before the flood, and even though Israel was not always faithful to God, its presence gave the rest of the world an opportunity to know God and gave them a lease on life. + +In reality, these destructions were more an act of mercy than an act of anger on the part of God. Yes, He was angry with those nations and peoples, but yet they were also His children and by putting an end to their wickedness God was saving countless others yet unborn. + +### Application + +In thinking about the sun standing still, I just recently I received an e-mail with a story (whether it is true or not, I don’t know), about the time when NASA scientists were working on plans for future launches when they ran into a problem. They entered all the information into the computer, but the computer could not compute correctly, it gave an error message, and the NASA people could not find out what the problem was, all they knew was that there was one day and about forty minutes missing that they could not account for. Apparently a Christian among them told them about this event, they changed their calculations and sure enough, they were only missing about forty minutes. Then the Christian told them of the time when King Hezekiah asked for a sign that he would be healed, and the sun went back what would be the equivalent of . . . forty minutes. Once that time was also accounted for, their calculations matched perfectly. + +These stories remind me that God’s miraculous power on our behalf is still available to us as families and as couples. We may not get the sun to stand still, but maybe he will make the time that we have more manageable so we can spend time learning about Him and worshiping Him, time together as families, time with our children, time for work, time for leisure, time to evangelize, time to rest. And all along, God also helps us to deal with those things that are destroying our families – negative influences on our children, not spending enough time together, not spending enough time with God in prayer and for God in praise, not spending enough time to study His word, not spending enough time working for the salvation of others. We don’t need the miracle of more time; what we need is the miracle of learning how to manage properly the time that God already gives us every day. Much like we don’t understand how when we return God’s tithe we seem to have more than before, so when we dedicate our time to Him, He can help us accomplish more in the time we have than if we tried to manage it ourselves, without Him in it. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, thank You for the time You give us.

Scripture

+> A dispute also started among them over which of them was to be regarded as the greatest. 22:25 So Jesus said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’ 22:26 Not so with you; instead the one who is greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like the one who serves. 22:27 For who is greater, the one who is seated at the table, or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is seated at the table? But I am among you as one who serves. (Luke 22:24-27 NET) + +### Observation + +Jesus is preparing to enjoy the Passover with His disciples, probably looking forward to spending this important annual celebration with them. He had spent the last three-and-a-half years with them, and probably celebrated at least one other Passover with them, but this one was a very special one as it would be the last one. . . the last one where He would be physically present, the last one where all of them would be together celebrating it, the last one of real significance because with His death the Passover symbolism would be fulfilled I His own death on the cross. + +How disappointing and frustrating it must have been for Jesus, knowing the importance of this day, to see them still disputing as to who would be the greatest among them. Jesus teaches them, through the words of our text for today and through His action of washing their feet, that in the Christian life he/she who desires to be the greatest has it all wrong by trying to be the greatest but should do his/her best to serve rather than be served. + +### Application + +A lot of the marital discord stems from this desire to be the greatest. This, of course, is nothing new. Soon after the fall, God told Eve: “You will want to control your husband, but he will dominate you” (Genesis 3:16b, NET). One of the resulting effects of the entrance of sin into the world was the desire for supremacy, even among those who were literally one flesh, Adam and Eve. God forewarned them that this dispute for control and for who would be the greatest would be present in marriage, and in society. Unfortunately, because physically men are bigger, that control has been theirs to the point of total domination, slavery, and even abuse of women, both in society in general and inside marriage in particular. + +Jesus changes the paradigm and tells His disciples – which includes husbands and wives – that in His kingdom it is not the greatest the one who is served but rather the one who serves. In marriage, then, we should look for ways to help and serve one another, starting with our spouse and children. Imagine a world in which the husbands and wives work hard at outdoing each other in how they serve one another! Well, Jesus says we should not only imagine such a world but that is His kingdom of which He wants us to be a part. + +Look for ways to serve your husband/wife out of love for them, but also out of love for Jesus. They may not always act in a way that you think they deserve to be served, but it is at those times when you need to make an even greater effort to show them your love by practicing acts of service toward them. The disciples sure were not acting very loving on that last Passover night, and they sure didn’t deserve to be served; but in His love for them, Jesus served them and “Having loved his own who were in the world, he now loved them to the very end” (John 13:1, NET). Follow the example of Jesus, and love your spouse to the end. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, help us to love and serve one another to the end because by so doing we act as your disciples, because it shows Your spirit working in our hearts, and because by doing so we know Your love abides in us and in our marriage. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/08-february-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/08-february-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..19e3e45e12 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/08-february-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Marital Disputes +startDate: 02/08/2025 +endDate: 02/08/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/09-february-2025/09-february-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/09-february-2025/09-february-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..6e653bc383 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/09-february-2025/09-february-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,24 @@ +--- +title: When to Retire +date: 02/09/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

When he spied out the land he was forty years old, and at the time of the writing of this chapter, he is eighty-five years old. + +### Application + +At the age of forty, some people begin to wind down and to prepare for their retirement, whether physically or psychologically. In some countries, once a person reaches about fifty, companies begin to look at them as too old and look for ways to discharge them. Such was the case with my father. When my dad reached the age of forty-nine, the company he was working for approached him with a choice – either he retire with a good compensation package or get fired with nothing; he chose to “retire.” However, at that age he would not be able to sit still, so he got another job, but at the age of fifty it was very difficult to adapt to a new job and they let him go after a year. From that time, until his untimely death one year later at the age of fifty-one, he was unable to find another job.

+> Yet, I'm not all alone, because the Father is with me. 33 I've told you this so that my peace will be with you. In the world you'll have trouble. But cheer up! I have overcome the world.” John 16:32-33 (GW) + +### Observation + +During the last meal Jesus enjoyed with His disciples, on the night in which He was arrested, He is preparing them for what they would experience during the next three days and as they would begin their ministry without the physical presence of Jesus in their midst, as they had enjoyed for the last three-and-a-half years. + +Jesus warns them that they will have trouble (tribulation), simply because they are in the world. But He also reminds them that He would be with them just like the Father was with Him, even in the most troubling time of His life. + +### Application + +As humans, living in this world of sin, it is inevitable that we will experience trouble at some point in our lives. That trouble may come in the form of illness (our own or a loved one), loss of employment, inclement weather (hurricane, tornado, earthquake, excessive snow or ice, cold or heat, etc., depending on where we live), accidents (at work, on the road, at home, etc.), problems at work with a co-worker, supervisor, or the boss), or at school (with a teacher, classmate, or the administration). Even at church, a place where we are surrounded by people who believe in God, we could run into trouble with other church members for a host of reasons – some of their doing, some of our doing. + +Marriage and the family are not exempt from trouble either. In marriage, the differences that come from being raised in different families, different environments, different cultures, and the fact that we have different personalities and different temperaments is bound to bring about some friction at one time or another. The longer we live together, the more we adapt to each other’s difference and the more we create our own culture and feel more comfortable with each other. In the family, with the birth of each child the family dynamics change and therefore there is constant need for adapting to the new circumstances. + +What we need to take from today’s text is that even Jesus suffered trouble, at the hands of His own people, even from His own disciples. And yet, He reminds His disciples that He was never left alone through any of those troubles, but that the Father was with Him through it all. He then gives them (and us) the assurance that we would not be alone in our trials, troubles, and tribulations either. And the best assurance that the troubles that threaten us would not consume us and destroy us is that He has overcome them all. That’s why He can encourage us and tell us to “cheer up.” + +While we are in the midst of troubling circumstances, it is good to be reminded to “Cheer up!” Don’t give up on each other, don’t give up on your relationship, don’t give up on your family!

We benefit from the taxes we pay and what others pay as well. We must be careful that taxes are paid properly and that we do everything legally. + +3.

Scripture

+> (Gen 24:2-4 NKJV) So Abraham said to the oldest servant of his house, who ruled over all that he had, "Please, put your hand under my thigh, {3} "and I will make you swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell; {4} "but you shall go to my country and to my family, and take a wife for my son Isaac." + +### Observation + +Abraham is getting old and wants to make sure the promise that God made him of a long posterity would indeed be properly fulfilled through his son Isaac. In order to ensure that Issac and his descendants would be followers of the same God and not be sidetracked by the practices and the people of the land, Abraham asked his servant to go back home and find a wife for Issac from his own people. It’s obvious that Abraham’s servant had learned from his master about God and was also a true believer in the God of the universe; this is evident by his life of worship and prayer as he took on this journey and responsibility. We know from the story how he met Rebekah, her family’s reaction and agreement with the news and request, and her own eager response to marry Issac and make the trip to become his wife. + +### Application + +Even in an age of arranged marriages, Abraham understood the importance of compatibility, particularly in several areas. The more things a couple has in common, the more compatible they will be in important areas of their life such as faith, family, parenting, communication, conflict resolution, financial management, etc. This does not mean that they have to think alike in every way, but it sure is nice when you and your spouse can have more in common than when you have very little in common to help you build a stronger relationship. Through the prophet Amos God said, (Amos 3:3 NKJV) “Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?” While some people firmly believe that opposites attract, a book I read many years ago also remind us that often “opposites attack,” which is the cause for so much of the headache, conflict, abuse, and divorce nowadays. + +At the end of this part of the story we read, (Gen 24:67 NKJV) “Then Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent; and he took Rebekah and she became his wife, and he loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.” The results of Abraham’s plan for Issac and of Issac and Rebekah accepting it were very positive for both: + +_1. Issac loved Rebekah_ - what every woman wishes from her husband, to be loved, cared for, nurtured, and protected by him. + +_2. Issac was comforted after his mother’s death_ – Rebekah was also a true comfort and encourager for her husband, her cheerleader, her strength during his most vulnerable moments. + +_3. The lineage of faith continued through Issac to his children._ This is what Paul writes about in 2 Corinthians 6:14 (NKJV) “Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?” + +Look for compatibility in the most critical areas of life and your changes for a successful, fulfilling, loving relationship will increase. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, guide us to the person You would have for us, and help us to be the person who would be best for them. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/12-february-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/12-february-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..946d4a407a --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/12-february-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: A Compatible Spouse +startDate: 02/12/2025 +endDate: 02/12/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/13-february-2025/13-february-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/13-february-2025/13-february-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..3ee59c5327 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/13-february-2025/13-february-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,28 @@ +--- +title: Giving and Having +date: 02/13/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> Everything I have is yours, and everything you have is mine. John 17:10 (GW) + +### Observation + +The words of our text today come from the prayer of Jesus on the night that he was betrayed and arrested. This prayer was pronounced in the presence of His disciples while they celebrated the Passover meal together in the upper room. While we think of “The Lord’s Prayer” as the one Jesus taught His disciples earlier in His ministry as a pattern for them to follow in their own prayers, His prayers, contained in John 17, are very particular and specific to and for His disciples of all ages. + +### Application + +While the words of our text refer to the relationship that Jesus and God, the Father, have, they also serve asa good pattern for the type of relationship that husbands and wives should enjoy. Often we are asked questions that have to do with financial matters in marriage. Who should be in charge of the finances at home? How should money be spent? Should the husband and wife have separate bank accounts?, etc. + +Once we enter into the marital relationship, not only are our bodies united into one, but so should our possessions, our interests, and our future plans be. There should be no such thing as “what’s mine is mine, and what’s yours is yours.” When we begin to look at things, information, or feelings as only a personal thing, not to be shared with the other, we prevent true and complete intimacy from taking place. When we consider everything we have as the communal property of our marriage, then we will use it all to benefit us as a family, we will make short and long range plans that will be good both for our family now and for generations to come. + +There’s another way in which we must understand that all we have and are is ours, and that is with our bodies. Paul wrote that in 1 Corinthians 7: “The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. And likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does” 1 Corinthians 7:4 (NKJV). Having said that, Paul continues his advice: “Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again so that Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control” 1 Corinthians 7:5 (NKJV) + +So much trouble could be prevented if we stopped thinking and acting as if what we have and what we are is our individual property and instead were more willing to give to our spouse all that we are and all that we have – our funds, our property, our bodies, our thoughts, our plans, our feelings! And the relationship would benefit so much more when receive the same in return! + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, may the same unselfish spirit that reigns in the Godhead reign also in our home and in our marriage. Since everything really belongs to You, help us then to remember that what we have in our marriage is simply Your loan to us. Keep us from assuming possession of what You give us and instead help us to gladly share it with the person You gave us to be married to. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/13-february-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/13-february-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..87b1862903 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/13-february-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Giving and Having +startDate: 02/13/2025 +endDate: 02/13/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/14-february-2025/14-february-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/14-february-2025/14-february-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..6ae2f4ca5f --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/14-february-2025/14-february-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,22 @@ +--- +title: Unintentional Pain +date: 02/14/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> When Jesus heard that, He said to them, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. Matthew 9:12 + +### Observation + +Jesus spoke the words in today’s text after He was criticized for calling Matthew, the tax collector, to be one of His disciples. It is not as if the rest of the disciples were perfect - far from it. However, in the eyes of the Jewish people of that time, tax collector, or publicans, were among the most hated of all people. These men worked for the Roman government, often exacting more than their due. These were Jewish people exploiting their own people for their own benefit and for the benefit of the occupying rulers, the hateful Romans. No wonder people where shocked that Jesus would call one of them to be His disciples. + +Jesus, on the other hand, did not see any distinction between a “heavy sinner” and a “light sinner.” All need His grace and His salvation equally. It is often those who see or recognize their need of a Savior who are in the greatest danger of losing their chance at eternal life. + +### Application + +Often couples don’t seek help for their marital difficulties until it is either too late or almost too late. It is no sin to look for help for your relationship anymore than it is to go to a doctor when we notice symptoms of health problems. Here are nine warning signs your family may not be able to solve its own problems and therefore may need to go for help to a professional: + +**1. You Go over the Same Issues Again and Again with No Resolution or Closure.** + +The constant cycle of repeating arguments about the same problems is a clear sign things aren't working and you need help. The reason issues are repeated is because you aren't presenting information that is being heard, received, or accepted. + +**2. Your Networking Is Not Working.** + +Every attempt at reasonable conversation fails and ends with shouting, disregard, or someone walking out of the room with no-closure or resolution. + +**3. There Is Physical and/or Emotional Abuse.** + +There is no way you should allow this behavior to continue without getting help and finding safety. Physical, emotional, and verbal abuse should not be tolerated. + +**4. You Pretend to Respect a Family Member Whom You Do Not Really Respect.** + +This is an indication of a serious problem. One dysfunctional family member rules the rest of the family, usually by fear. + +**5. You're Afraid to Say Certain Things in Your Family.** + +When you don't feel comfortable sharing your feelings and thoughts without being demeaned, criticized, or bullied, something is terribly wrong. + +**6. You Deny, Excuse, or Choose to Ignore the Signs of Problems Such as Drug or Alcohol Abuse.** + +Substance abuse is an indication of greater problems than simple emotional distress or fatigue. A key issue is when family members excuse the behavior saying, "They can stop anytime; they're not addicted." This is the height of denial, and a key indicator that help is needed. + +**7. You Have a Recurring Wish That You Were out of Your Family or Had Never Come into it at All.** + +This kind of negative daydreaming is a result of much deeper problems that need professional help. All of us have occasional wishes we weren't in a family or marriage, but when it becomes a daily obsession there should be deeper consideration as to its reason and impact. + +**8. No One Admits a Problem, Yet Everyone Knows it Exists.** + +Some people think that it is an admission of failure to admit that there's a problem. This avoidance can be fatal to a marriage or family. + +**9. You Ignore or Excuse Signs of Bad Behavior in a Family Member.** + +Bullying, giving orders, pulling rank, verbal abuse, arrogance, and indifference to the feelings of others are signs of this malady. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, help us to recognize when we need help before it’s to late to save our family or our marriage, but help us to not just recognize we help but to seek it. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/15-february-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/15-february-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..efdad86e75 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/15-february-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Help for those who need it +startDate: 02/15/2025 +endDate: 02/15/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/16-february-2025/16-february-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/16-february-2025/16-february-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..1363c008f4 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/16-february-2025/16-february-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,28 @@ +--- +title: The First Mission Field +date: 02/16/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> "Return to your own house, and tell what great things God has done for you." And he went his way and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him. Luke 8:39 + +### Observation + +The man in today’s story had been demon-possessed until Jesus cast the demons out. He had been away from his family, from civilization, living in a cemetery. Everyone was afraid of him because of his violent behavior, probably his foul language, and his horrible appearance. + +After Jesus had released Him from the demons who held him captive from inside of him, this man’s immediate reaction of gratitude was to follow Jesus. But Jesus wanted not only his freedom from the captivity of the devil, Jesus also wanted the man’s family, and many others, to come to the freedom from sin Jesus offers. So the man became a missionary to his own family. + +One can only imagine the look of surprised on the faces of the people in town and specially his wife and children, when they saw their beloved husband and father, but not as they had seen him the last time, wild and scary, but fully recovered, normal, healthy, peaceful, and joyful. He didn’t have to take them through a whole set of bible studies or preach a series of evangelistic messages. All he had to do was tell them what Jesus had done for him. His physical, emotional, and spiritual restoration was evident to all, and that was the most powerful sermon he could preach and they could hear. + +### Application + +Ellen White writes: “No sooner is one converted than there is born within him a desire to make known to others what a precious friend he has found in Jesus. The saving and sanctifying truth cannot be shut up in his heart” (The Desire of Ages, p. 141). We all have our own stories of what God has done in our lives, and when we have the chance we want to tell others of His miracle-working power. If we were asked to the farthest parts of the earth to tell of God’s love and of His power we would be honored to be chosen to proclaim it all. And yet, we need to remember that our mission does not have to begin in another part of the world but it should begin at home, with our loved ones. Again, Ellen White writes, “Our work for Christ is to begin with the family, in the home. . . . There is no missionary field more important than this. . . . “ (The Adventist Home, p. 35). + +When others see what God has done in our lives, when our behavior and our words can testify of Him, not just in flowery language but in kind, gentle words, it is then that others can see the evidence of what God has done in our lives. This does not mean that we are perfect and do not make any mistakes. It is in fact when we make mistakes, recognize them, repent from them, and apologize seeking forgiveness that they can also be drawn to God knowing that if He can accept us with our imperfections He can also accept and love them. So let’s be mindful of how we live that others, particularly our family, may see the God who lives in us. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, reflect your love through us that others may see, not us, but You shining through us and come to know You, Love You, and serve You too. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/16-february-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/16-february-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..0b96a01ea8 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/16-february-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: The First Mission Field +startDate: 02/16/2025 +endDate: 02/16/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/17-february-2025/17-february-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/17-february-2025/17-february-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..e38f837e65 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/17-february-2025/17-february-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,22 @@ +--- +title: The Best Choice +date: 02/17/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> (Josh 24:14-15 NKJV) "Now therefore, fear the LORD, serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt. Serve the LORD! {15} "And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." + +### Observation + +This is one of those well-known passages in the Bible and it comes in the latter part of Joshua’s life, as he recounts for the Israelites what God has done for them and again reminds them to not enter into relationships with the people of the land lest they “become a snare” for them. Here he challenges them with his own personal example. If, after all God has done for them, they still choose to worship other gods, so be it. Crazy as it seems, so be it. But as for me and my family, God forbid that I’d leave Him to worship worthless pieces of wood, stone, or metal. We will serve the Lord. It is his own example that leads the people to respond the way they did: (Josh 24:16-18 NKJV) So the people answered and said: "Far be it from us that we should forsake the LORD to serve other gods; {17} "for the LORD our God is He who brought us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, who did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way that we went and among all the people through whom we passed. {18} "And the LORD drove out from before us all the people, including the Amorites who dwelt in the land. We also will serve the LORD, for He is our God." + +### Application + +We can never underestimate the power of our decisions on what other people, particularly our family, do. Joshua understood that, which is why, at the dusk of his life he challenged the children of Israel with the words of our text. We can challenge our children as often as we want to, but if our actions don’t match our words, the challenge will not only go unheeded, it could well drive them to make the opposite choice of what we would have wanted for them. That’s that mean that if we live correctly all the time (or at least most of the time), that our children will follow our steps all the time (or most of the time) as well? I wish I could tell you that is the case. The reality is that everyone has the same freedom of choice and even the most godly parents have experienced the pain of seeing their children leave the faith in which they were brought up and the God to whom they were dedicated as babies. As parents, however, we must consider that without a good example on our part the chances that they will choice a different path increase greatly. From our part, then, we must dedicate ourselves and our family to God, live uprightly with God’s help, pray for and with them daily, and then leave the rest to them and to God expecting that ultimately His grace will be sufficient for them, as it is for us. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, in Your goodness you allow us to make our own choices. This day, we choose You as our God and Savior and ask that You come close to our children, that they may sense Your presence in their lives, and that they, too, choose You this day as their God, their Savior, and Lord of their lives. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/17-february-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/17-february-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..73f71d07ff --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/17-february-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: The Best Choice +startDate: 02/17/2025 +endDate: 02/17/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/18-february-2025/18-february-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/18-february-2025/18-february-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..be090b3685 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/18-february-2025/18-february-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,30 @@ +--- +title: In One Generation +date: 02/18/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> (Judg 2:10 NKJV) When all that generation had been gathered to their fathers, another generation arose after them who did not know the LORD nor the work which He had done for Israel. + +### Observation + +After the death of Joshua and the people of his generation had passed away, things changed very quickly in Israel, but not for the best. The rapid decline in their spirituality reflects the rapid abandonment of God’s will for them. First of all, the Israelites stopped their conquest of the Promised Land from going as far as God intended it should. Secondly, they left entire cities, and their inhabitants, alive and established relationships with them. And finally, they began to worship the Baals of the people of the land. This rapid decline is what God had tried to prevent by commanding them to destroy the people of the land, but in just one generation they went from following God to worshipping Baal. + +### Application + +I can attest to how fast things change, in one generation, when you abandon God. My mother’s parents were the first Seventh-day Adventist converts in the city of Bucaramanga, where we were born, in the country of Colombia, South America. When my mother was a young girl, her mother died leaving her husband to raise five young children by himself; my grandfather never remarried. Weighed down with the heavy responsibility and with a large hospital bill after his wife’s death, my grandfather, a very responsible man, made whatever payments he could on that hospital bill but in the process he didn’t return God’s tithe faithfully; shortly after that, he stopped going to church altogether. Eventually all but one of the children, including my mother, ended up out of the church (one died at a young age, still believing and living his faith). As a young lady, about to graduate from high school, my mother met my father, who together with his family was Roman Catholic. In order for my mother to be able to marry my father she “converted” to Catholicism; in her own words, while she did everything in her power to accept, believe, and practice her new religion, she confessed to me many years later that she never really could come to believe it because the seeds of Bible truth remained deeply ingrained in her heart. Nevertheless, she raised her children as Catholics, attending church every Sunday, and performing the rituals, or “sacraments,” required by the church such like infant baptism, “the First Communion,” “Confirmation,” etc. + +As a young boy, after my first communion, I became quite active in the church and was chosen to be one of the altar boys in the church near to where we lived and where we worshiped regularly for many years. I remember as a young boy wearing my bath robe and standing before the kitchen sink, with a slice of bread, dipping a piece of it in a glass of orange juice mixed with some water, role-playing what I saw the priest do on the altar during mass – by the way, my own “mass” was not the best as the juice was too watered down, and the bread soaked in this mixture tasted horrible. If the priest had seen me doing this he probably would have said that even at an early age I demonstrated a vocation for the priesthood; I might say that even in the darkness was already beginning to show me a glimpse of the ministerial career I would one day follow. + +In my family, all of us grew up catholic, and faithfully did the things required of good Catholics like repeating the prescribed prayers to Mary and to bow down before the many images found in churches, cathedrals, and even road side shrines. While my mother’s brother and his family were Adventists, we never completely understood what they were or why they lived like they did; we only knew they did strange things like not watch TV on Friday nights and Saturdays, or not eating what we considered to be delicacies and which now I myself find distasteful, even disgusting. It was only after the death of my father, and our move to the United States, that my mother returned to the Adventist faith and she and I were baptized the same day in a church in Silver Spring, Maryland. + +As we reflect on our portion of the Scriptures for today, some may wonder how quickly the Israelites abandoned the faith of their fathers after all the powerful miracles He worked on their behalf. I witnessed how easy it is to do so as with my mother’s departure from the faith as in just a few short years she went from being a Sabbath-keeping, second-coming-expecting Christian, to a Sunday-keeping, idol worshipping Catholic, and as a result, with the birth of each of her children, we were one by one introduced to the worship of these idols and it became a simple part of our lives. + +If we as parents can see how easily and quickly children learn, we would be so much more careful with our actions and words. I am amazed at parents who don’t bring their young children to church or those who have told me that they don’t want to force them to believe as they do but want to give their children the freedom to choose what to believe only to see how quickly their children abandon the faith their parents wish they would hold as their own. I’d like to encourage every parent to hold dear their faith and live it and teach it to their children from the time they are born that they may grow up in it from their earliest days; if we as parents don’t live our faith, we will quickly loose our children and many generations to come. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, help us to live daily our faith and may we transmit it faithfully to our children and for generations to come. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/18-february-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/18-february-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..49c9330000 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/18-february-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: In One Generation +startDate: 02/18/2025 +endDate: 02/18/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/19-february-2025/19-february-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/19-february-2025/19-february-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..94b31e9a75 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/19-february-2025/19-february-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,22 @@ +--- +title: Children Struggle +date: 02/19/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

So she went to inquire of the LORD. {23} And the LORD said to her: "Two nations are in your womb, Two peoples shall be separated from your body; One people shall be stronger than the other, And the older shall serve the younger." + +### Observation + +Issac was forty years old when he married Rebekah and sixty years old when Esau and Jacob were born. By today’s standards , he was advanced in years for both his marriage and parenthood. We are not told how much younger Rebekah was; nevertheless, it took them twenty years as husband and wife before they had children. And yet, as much as they were happy to have children, even before the twins were born they already brought challenges and heartache to their parents. Gen.25:22 – Rebekah asks herself “why is this happening to me?” (paraphrased). As they grew up they were very different and eventually Jacob tricked Esau and Issac and as a result had to leave home to never see his parents alive again. And Gen. 26:35 tells us that the wives Esau took were a grief to Issac and Rebekah. + +### Application + +For the biblical patriarchs, parenting was no easier than it is today, even though they were much closer to Eden’s day than we are. While this is no consolation, it helps to put it into perspective to know that we, today’s parents, are not unique and we are not the only ones who struggle trying to raise our children. As we get closer to the second coming of Jesus, the challenges of parenting become more difficult as temptations, the amount of information and available means to fall increase exponentially. Our hope rests in the same God who helped Abraham and Sarah, Issac and Rebekah, and Jacob and Rachel; the same God and Father who helped Mary and Joseph; the same God who helped James and Ellen White; the same God who helped our parents. As difficult and challenging as the task of parenting is, and as painful as it is at times, we have not been abandoned by our Heavenly Father; He knows, He understands, He helps, and He blesses us and our children. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Loving Father, how much pain and heartache we ourselves have cause You even though You are the perfect parent.

Today’s reality is that some men are not that type of reflection and don’t demonstrate the correct pattern established by Christ.

Scripture

+> (Judg 7:20 NKJV) Then the three companies blew the trumpets and broke the pitchers; they held the torches in their left hands and the trumpets in their right hands for blowing; and they cried, "The sword of the LORD and of Gideon!" + +### Observation + +Gideon’s large army had been pruned down to a very small number, particularly when compared with the army of the Midianites. Then, they surrounded the Midianites and at the right moment they broke the pitchers, blew the trumpets, and lifted the torches at the same time as they shouted, “The sword of the Lord...” To the half-asleep Midianite army, the noise, sights, the lights must have seemed like millions, and that caused great panic and confusion which led to their great defeat. While on my last visit to Israel, several years ago, I remember our guide telling us that during the war with Syria over the Golan Heights, one lone Israeli tank operator did a very heroic feat. He would drive up to the ridge and fire against the Syrians, then drive down, move to another location, drive up the ridge, fire, and repeated the same action from several locations. Down below, on the Syrian side, they could see tanks going up and down and firing upon them and they though it was an entire combat unit, and those actions slowed down just enough for the Israeli army to come to the Golan Heights to defend that strategic site. I imagine something similar took place during the battle when Gideon led the Israelites against the Midianites. . . who knows, maybe the Israeli tank soldier remembered this battle and knew that even a few can win a battle over the most. Then again, it was God fighting on the side of Gideon and his army, not just the military tactics they employed. + +### Application + +Today we’re enjoying family togetherness as our younger daughter, who studies at Andrews University in Michigan, is home for spring break. Our older daughter, who lives nearby, is joinging us, and the four of us plan to spend the day together. Those opportunities don’t come by too often nowadays, so we praise and than God for it. As I think of the battle of Gideon’s army, I can’t help but think of the battles we as parents have to fight for our children. The enemies of our children are great and many and at times we are overwhelmed and shaken to think of these seemly insurmountable foes. But maybe that’s why this story is here, to remind us as parents that we may be small and seemly powerless, but if we blow the trumpet and lift up the torch (God’s word), victory will be ours and our children’s. I would like to liken blowing the trumpet to our living testimony, and lifting the torch to studying the Bible – I suppose if you want to take the analogy further, you could say that breaking the pitchers is eliminating those negative influences that threaten to enslave us and our children. But we do know and must be fully convinced of is that the Battle is the Lord and we need to commit ourselves and our children to Him if we’re to gain the final victory. + +I know the following passages are not directly related to what I just concluded, but they are very inspiring nonetheless. + +“The leader whom God chose to overthrow the Midianites occupied no prominent position in Israel. He was not a ruler, a priest, or a Levite. He thought himself the least in his father's house. But God saw in him a man of courage and integrity. He was distrustful of himself and willing to follow the guidance of the Lord. God does not always choose for His work men of the greatest talents, but He selects those whom He can best use. "Before honor is humility." Proverbs 15:33. The Lord can work most effectually through those who are most sensible of their own insufficiency, and who will rely upon Him as their leader and source of strength. He will make them strong by uniting their weakness to His might, and wise by connecting their ignorance with His wisdom. + +If they would cherish true humility, the Lord could do much more for His people; but there are few who can be trusted with any large measure of responsibility or success without becoming self-confident and forgetful of their dependence upon God. This is why, in choosing the instruments for His work, the Lord passes by those whom the world honors as great, talented, and brilliant. They are too often proud and self-sufficient. They feel competent to act without counsel from God.” {Ellen G. White, Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 553} + +“The Lord is willing to do great things for us. We shall not gain the victory through numbers, but through the full surrender of the soul to Jesus. We are to go forward in His strength, trusting in the mighty God of Israel. There is a lesson for us in the story of Gideon's army. . . . The Lord is just as willing to work through human efforts now, and to accomplish great things through weak instrumentalities. {Ellen G. White, Conflict and Courage, p. 127} + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, give the courage to go through this conflict and win the final battle against your foe.

Gideon had many wives so he also had many children, seventy of them. Abimelech emerged as the leader among Gideon’s children and did it by winning the support of the people of Shechem who paid him to become their king after which he killed all but one of his seventy brothers. + +### Application + +Stories like this make me cringe to thin of how one person could deal with his brothers in that cruel way, and all for the sake of power and money. And yet, I personally know of two families where a brother has dealt in similar ways (except for killing them) with his siblings by robbing them of what rightly belongs to his siblings, by taking advantage of them, and by enriching himself at their expense. When it comes to money, some people will do anything they have to even if that means taking it from their own family members.

I’m not sure what he thought would come out – an cow, a goat? Or if he thought that maybe one servant might come out. But great was his distress when it was his only daughter who came out to greet him and to celebrate his victory and great her disappointment when instead of a great joy, her celebration turned into great sorrow. + +### Application + +Just as careless as Jephthah was with his vow, so are many parents with the promises or threatened discipline. We have observed many parents, specially parents of small children, threaten discipline unless their children change their actions, but they do it in a way that the children know are vain words. Some count: “Jimmy stop that! One. . . two. . . two-and-a-half. . .” Children know that counting doesn’t really mean anything until it gets to three. Others would threaten by repeating themselves: “Sussy, come here. . . Sussy, I told you to come here. . . Sussy, I’m not going to tell you again, come here. . . Sussy, I’m getting upset, you better come here. . .” and on and on. Other parents use their staccato voice and the children’s names to show the escalation of their command: “Ronny pick up your toys. . . Ron, pick up your toys. . . Ronald, pick up your toys, Ronald Arthur, I told you to pick up your toys. . . RONALD ARTHUR SMITH YOU COME RIGHT NOW AND PICK UP YOUR TOYS OR I’M GOING TO. . .” It is finally at this point that children take their parents more seriously and begin to either move in the direction of complying or rebelling further to see how far they can push their parents. + +When it comes to discipline, it’s best to follow these steps: + +1. Set clear limits and consequences, according to the age and understanding capacity of each child. + +2. If the child crosses the limit, apply discipline immediately. This does a number of things. First of all, you as the parent applies the discipline without losing your temper. Secondly, the child learns to comply with the pre-defined limits. + +3.

Scripture

+> (Judg 14:1-3 NKJV) Now Samson went down to Timnah, and saw a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines. {2} So he went up and told his father and mother, saying, "I have seen a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines; now therefore, get her for me as a wife." {3} Then his father and mother said to him, "Is there no woman among the daughters of your brethren, or among all my people, that you must go and get a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?" And Samson said to his father, "Get her for me, for she pleases me well." + +### Observation + +Samson became obsessed with a woman from Timnah and insisted, against his parent’s advice, that they get her for him. They objected because marriage with an unbeliever, in fact a pagan, was strictly forbidden. But Samson was insistent and his parents, who were obviously indulgent of their only son, gave in and made the appropriate arrangements for Samson to have her. Just reading the rest of the chapter tells us of the horrible results of such actions which eventually led to his involvement with a prostitute, Delilah, and to his capture and eventual demise. + +### Application + +In our day we don’t have arranged marriages, at least in our western culture, and yet I can’t help but wonder how many people I personally know would be so much better off if they had only listened to their parents and of others I know right now who are going against the advice of family and friends totally ignoring their advice, their feelings, and their dislike of the person they are dating. It’s as if they believe that by stubbornly staying with that person they will force their family and friends to dismiss their concerns for their relationships and they will come to like, or even love the other person. In the PREPARE inventory I provide to couples contemplating marriage, one of the areas we look at is the parents and friends’ reaction to the couple’s relation. When their reaction is positive, the couple not only seems to do better but also, logically, they have one less thing to work on or worry about. The opposite is also true of the couples who don’t enjoy the support of their family or friends; it’s like fighting an uphill battle as they begin to form their new relationship and without the love and support of those closest to them. + +While the family may not always be right in their feelings or opinions of your boyfriend or girlfriend, if there are negative feelings already going into the relationship, chances are that they won’t get any better later. Listen to what your family and friends are trying to tell you; they are trying to help you, and they may be saving you from a life of hardship and pain. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, thank You for the wise counsel of family and friends. May we be attentive to what they have to tell us, specially if that has to do with following Your guidance and when it comes to those relationships which we hope will be life-lasting. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/24-february-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/24-february-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..f78b0a887e --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/24-february-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Listen to your Parents +startDate: 02/24/2025 +endDate: 02/24/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/25-february-2025/25-february-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/25-february-2025/25-february-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..381e9bedd5 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/25-february-2025/25-february-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,34 @@ +--- +title: Win Your Spouse Back +date: 02/25/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> (Judg 19:1-3 NKJV) And it came to pass in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite staying in the remote mountains of Ephraim. He took for himself a concubine from Bethlehem in Judah. {2} But his concubine played the harlot against him, and went away from him to her father's house at Bethlehem in Judah, and was there four whole months. {3} Then her husband arose and went after her, to speak kindly to her and bring her back, having his servant and a couple of donkeys with him. So she brought him into her father's house; and when the father of the young woman saw him, he was glad to meet him. + +### Observation + +This is one of the strangest stories in the entire Bible. A Levite set out to win back the love of a woman, but when the men of the city wanted to have sex with the Levite, instead he gave them his woman for then to do with her as they wished. After an entire night of abuse, the woman died, the Levite took her home, cut her in pieces, and sent the pieces throughout Israel seeking justice. + +When sin controls people, they will stop at nothing until their sinful desires are met. Not only were they trying to do what God calls unnatural (Romans 1) by having homosexual relations, but also by abusing this woman to the point of death. + +On the other hand, if we can look for something positive in this story, it is the Levite’s actions and words to win this woman back related at the beginning of the story. + +### Application + +Even though the woman played the harlot and left him the Levite went to look for her, to speak kindly to her, and to bring her back. These three steps can also be critically important to win your wife back after you have caused harm any kind of pain – like speaking harshly to her, being unkind to her, betraying her trust in you. Let’s look at the three steps: + +1. He went after her. He took the initiative. In the same way, if you have done or said anything that hurt your spouse, don’t ignore it as if it would go away on its own, or don’t expect the other to forget it as if nothing had happened. Take the initiative to go to your spouse and make things right with them. Apologize, ask their forgiveness, make every effort to make things better in the future. + +2. He spoke kindly to her. Don’t make things worse by denying what happened or by becoming defensive. A recognition of what you did and kind words can go a lot farther in the healing process. + +3. He brought her back. It’s not enough to just get back to normal but to establish a new, better normal I your relationship with your spouse. + +We can make our relationships better and win back our spouse, if we are sincere in our desire and honest with our feelings, and if our attitude and actions show them we indeed love them and want the best for them. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, we praise You and thank You for your gift of our spouse; may we treat them accordingly. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/25-february-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/25-february-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..532a7ddb5c --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/25-february-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Win Your Spouse Back +startDate: 02/25/2025 +endDate: 02/25/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/26-february-2025/26-february-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/26-february-2025/26-february-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..59e689e534 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/26-february-2025/26-february-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,36 @@ +--- +title: Honor, and Obey? +date: 02/26/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Why do you call me Naomi, since the LORD has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me?" + +### Observation + +In just a few verses we read of all the reverses that Ruth and her family suffered. First they had to leave their home and become immigrants in a foreign country. Then, she became a widow, and then her two sons also died. The last of her sorrow came when one of her daughters-in-law left her to go back to her own home. About the only bright moment in the midst of all this darkness was when her daughter-in-law, Ruth, chose to stay with her and travel back home with Naomi. Her bitter, painful experience led Naomi to ask that she be called Mara, reflecting the bitterness of her heart and life. + +### Application + +My parents were married twenty-eight years until the afternoon, one early day in January, when my father suffered a massive heart attack that took his life and left my mother a widow. For twenty-eight years they lived together, traveled together, and managed to have and raise six children. The shock of her sudden change in her life and the loss of her life-partner plunged my mother into the darkness of pain and the bitterness of widowhood which caused her to loose more weight she should have and which cause her three children still at home to be very subdued and mask their own pain so they would not cause her any more pain than what she was already carrying in her heart and reflected in the black, mourning clothes she wore from then on and for over a year. The closeness of the relationship between a husband and wife is so strong that it has been compared to gluing two pieces of paper and then trying to separate them – it doesn’t happen without causing damage to one or both. And the longer a couple are married, the deeper their strong bond and their feelings toward one another; no wonder so many people pass on shortly after the death of their spouse – it is a separation some just simply cannot bear.

Scripture

+> (Ruth 2:11-12 NKJV) And Boaz answered and said to her, "It has been fully reported to me, all that you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband, and how you have left your father and your mother and the land of your birth, and have come to a people whom you did not know before. {12} "The LORD repay your work, and a full reward be given you by the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings you have come for refuge." + +### Observation + +After the death of her husband and their sons, Naomi returned to her home land. While Orpah, one of her daughters-in-law went back to her own home and family, Ruth, her other daughter-in-law, chose to travel with Naomi and settle in Naomi’s home land, be forever part of her family, and to fully accept and worship her God. While they lived together Ruth was devoted to the care of Naomi and her attitude, actions, and devotion to service did not go unnoticed. In fact, Boaz, who was a relative of Naomi’s, noticed Ruth’s care and indirectly made provision to help them. It is in this setting that we read Boaz commending Ruth in our text for today. + +### Application + +The close relationship between Naomi and her daughter-in-law Ruth is special but by no means unique. Many mothers-in-law have been have been specially loving, supportive, and kind to their sons or daughters-in-law, and in some cases they have had a closer relationship than with their own children. The same has been the case with daughters or sons-in-law toward their spouse’ parents. + +I borrow the title today from a book by Christian psychologist H. Norman Wright he speaks about this relationship which could be most damaging to a couple’s relationship or a tremendous blessing to all. For some reason, mothers-in-law have one of the worse reputations – in some cases probably well-deserved, but in most it is probably totally unwarranted. + +One way to change the negative dynamics is to make every effort to learn from the other person. My wife and my mother had a very good relationship in spite of a language barrier, and I credit both for it. My wife was always very kind and respectful of my mother, and she learned from her many of the things that I like and have since been cooking for me some of my favorite dishes. My mother was more than willing to share that information with Pam, but she also was careful not to usurp Pam’s place as the lady of the home and the one who holds first place in my life. In addition, both of them also were very generous with the time that I was able to spend with each and that we spent together. + +So those are three very simple things that anyone can do to have the best of relationships with their in-laws: 1. Make every effort to learn from the other – family history, tradition, customs, recipes, etc.; + +2. Show respect for the other person’s position in their own home. + +3. Watch carefully the time spent with each, giving preference to your spouse first while not neglecting time with your own parents. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, may we all be blessed with a loving, supportive relationship with our in-laws, whether they are our parents-in-law or our children-in-law, that we may have the type of relationships that will be uplifting to everyone in the family. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/28-february-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/28-february-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..8481bb3eb0 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/28-february-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: The Other Woman in Your Marriage +startDate: 02/28/2025 +endDate: 02/28/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/section.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/section.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..e1b36cbcbd --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/02-february-2025/section.yml @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +title: February 2025 \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/01-march-2025/01-march-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/01-march-2025/01-march-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..1966ea3241 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/01-march-2025/01-march-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,26 @@ +--- +title: For This Child I Prayed +date: 03/01/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

(1 Samuel 1:27-28 NKJV) + +### Observation + +The situation at home between Hannah and Penninah, Elkanah’s wives, was very tense. In a society where childlessness was seen as curse from God, or at least as God withholding his blessings from the woman, Penninah, who had several children, picked on barren Hannah, who must have felt singled out by God and others for unfair treatment. + +But Hannah prayed and God granted her a son; in fact, later we read that she had three more sons and two daughters (1 Sam. 2:12). Hannah evidently was a praying woman who continued to do so not just until Samuel was born, but for her other children, for as long as she lived. + +### Application + +Christian couples should most definitely pray for God’s gifts of children as to whether they should even have any or not. Once the mother is pregnant, the couple should redouble their prayers for life, health, and protection on both the mother and child.

After traveling throughout the territory for several days, Saul decided to go back home so that instead of worrying about the donkeys his father would start worrying about him.

It seems that children reach a certain age and they gain or are given a certain amount of independence, which is a normal, natural step in their process of growing into adulthood. Parents, however, never gain independence from care and concern for their children. So two worlds collide – on the one hand children wanting their independence, and on the other hand parents still being concerned about their children.

Scripture

+> Now it came to pass when Samuel was old that he made his sons judges over Israel. 2The name of his firstborn was Joel, and the name of his second, Abijah; they were judges in Beersheba. 3But his sons did not walk in his ways; they turned aside after dishonest gain, took bribes, and perverted justice. (1 Samuel 8:1-3 NKJV) + +### Observation + +Samuel’s sons were corrupt and like other religious leaders at the time they took advantage of their position to exploit the people. + +The Israelites, on the other hand, wanted to “keep up with the Joneses” and asked Samuel, the God-given leader of his time, to give them a king to reign over them. This obviously displeased Samuel. God, however, understood clearly that it wasn’t Samuel but God they were rejecting, and yet, God kindly tried to show them what they would get if they chose a human king for themselves instead of God. + +### Application + +As I visited with a pastor-friend over the weekend, we talked about PKs – Pastors’ Kids.

Maybe it’s the “constant” moving from one church, one community, one school to another. Maybe it’s leaving friends behind and being put in the position of meeting new ones only to leave them again a few years later. Perhaps it was the school or series of schools they attended. Maybe it was the series of teachers and principals. Or maybe the church people, the conference, or what the view as “the church” in general. Or maybe it was us, their parents, who spent more time doing the work of the Lord than spending time with His and our children. Whatever it might be, we certainly recognize the challenges of our, and other, PKs, and how much pain their decisions cause us. I said to another pastor-friend that maybe God, considering the pressure and the challenges that PKs live under has a special dispensation of His grace for them. At least that is my hope and prayer for my own PKs. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, I pray for our children, particularly PKs, who are targets of the enemy and sometimes even of members of the church family.

Scripture

+> (Gen 29:17 NKJV) Leah's eyes were delicate, but Rachel was beautiful of form and appearance. + +### Observation + +The words that describe Leah have been debated for many years by many commentators. Some believe that Leah had soft blue eyes, which were considered a blemish. In The New Manners and Customs of the Bible it says that, “The tender eyes of Leah, as so translated in the KJV, were actually eyes that were visually weak or lacked luster—dull and unimpressive eyes. This was considered to be a great defect among those who admired sparkling eyes that were lively and flashing. That Leah’s eyes were compared to Rachel’s beauty obviously meant there was no beauty in them and that Leah herself was probably plain in face and form compared to her sister.” The SDA Bible Commentary explains that, “The Hebrew word rak, here translated “tender” by the KJV, has usually been understood to mean “weak” or “dull.” Ever since the LXX employed this translation most commentators and translators have followed it. The word rak also means “delicate,” “gentle,” “soft,” and “flattering,” and may perhaps mean that her eyes looked the precise opposite of what most commentators have thought. However, the fact that Jacob was not attracted to Leah would indicate more of a contrast between the two sisters than this latter suggestion implies. Perhaps Leah’s eyes, and her personality as well, lacked the brilliance and lustrous warmth the Oriental admires. The RSV renders the word as “weak.” + +The verse gives us a contrast between the two sisters which may explain why Jacob loved Rachel more than Leah. He had met and fallen in love with Rachel first, he had been tricked by Laban to take Leah - which might have caused Jacob to despised her even more. We know there were constant disputes over their marital rights between Leah and Rachel, and later, with the addition of their two maidservants, and the birth of all thirteen children, tensions rose even higher. + +In The Story of Redemption, Ellen White makes some interesting comments about this situation: “Jacob was not happy in his marriage relation, although his wives were sisters. He formed the marriage contract with Laban for his daughter Rachel, whom he loved. After he had served seven years for Rachel, Laban deceived him and gave him Leah. When Jacob realized the deception that had been practiced upon him, and that Leah had acted her part in deceiving him, he could not love Leah. Laban wished to retain the faithful services of Jacob a greater length of time, therefore deceived him by giving him Leah, instead of Rachel. Jacob reproved Laban for thus trifling with his affections, in giving him Leah, whom he had not loved. Laban entreated Jacob not to put away Leah, for this was considered a great disgrace, not only to the wife, but to the whole family. Jacob was placed in a most trying position, but he decided to still retain Leah, and also marry her sister. Leah was loved in a much less degree than Rachel. {SR 89-90} + +### Application + +Leah desired the love of her husband. This is obvious as she names her sons:(Gen 29:32-35 NKJV) + +_Reuben:_ "The LORD has surely looked on my affliction. Now therefore, my husband will love me." + +_Simeon:_ "Because the LORD has heard that I am unloved, He has therefore given me this son also." + +_Levi:_ "Now this time my husband will become attached to me, because I have borne him three sons." + +_Judah:_ "Now I will praise the LORD." + +While we read that Jacob loved Rachel, we never read that She loved him. That is not to say that she didn’t, but her bitterness spilled over into her marriage as she demands of Jacob, (Gen 30:1-25 NKJV) "Give me children, or else I die!" Finally she decides to give Jacob her maid, and again, the names of Bilhah’s children reflect Rachel’s bitterness, particularly toward her sister: + +_Dan:_ "God has judged my case; and He has also heard my voice and given me a son." + +_Naphtali:_ "With great wrestlings I have wrestled with my sister, and indeed I have prevailed." + +Zilpah, Leah’s maid, now enters in this marital battle, and bears Jacob two more sons, but then Leah also bears Jacob a couple more sons: + +_Issachar:_ "God has given me my wages, because I have given my maid to my husband." + +_Zebulun:_ "God has endowed me with a good endowment; now my husband will dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons." + +It must be a very heavy burden to be unloved by their spouse. And yet Leah did not leave or divorce Jacob. Their children enjoyed the stable home, living with their father and mother. It was a large, blended family, but they were able to live with their biological parents. Children of divorce suffer in many different aspects of their lives – financially, emotionally, educationally, etc. Once we have brought children into this world, we must do everything we can to provide them with a loving home, with their biological parents to protect them, to provide for them, to help them and encourage them. Pray that you may be loved by your spouse, but most importantly, display love for your spouse; we are responsible for our feelings and actions, not for those of the other person. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father of love, help us to show our spouse how much we love them, and when negative thoughts and feeling creep up upon us, help us to defeat them and grow in us Your love for our spouse. Bless us, our marriage and our home, that we may provide our children a good, warm, stable home, one where them may feel safe knowing their parents won’t abandon them. Help us to show them through our example that in spite of conflict, we can remain together and keep our commitment to one another and to You to live together until death do us part.

+> (1 Sam 13:19-22 NKJV) Now there was no blacksmith to be found throughout all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, "Lest the Hebrews make swords or spears." {20} But all the Israelites would go down to the Philistines to sharpen each man's plowshare, his mattock, his ax, and his sickle; {21} and the charge for a sharpening was a pim for the plowshares, the mattocks, the forks, and the axes, and to set the points of the goads. {22} So it came about, on the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people who were with Saul and Jonathan. But they were found with Saul and Jonathan his son. + +### Observation + +Saul’s reign was not peaceful as he battled the Philistines and other nations that surrounded Israel. And while his beginning was promising, prophesying and making the right choices, little by little he began to decline in spirituality, in the respect that the people had for him, and in power. + +The Philistines exerted enough control over the nations around them, including Israel, that they would not even allow them to have their own silversmiths so they would not make their own weapons; obviously, this was a problem for the Israelites as they tried to defend themselves. + +### Application + +I read this story and immediately thought of what today’s world is doing in our homes by creating a thousand and one distractions so that we don’t spend any time “sharpening our swords,” that is, studying the Bible.

Scripture

+> (1 Sam 16:11-12 NIV) So he asked Jesse, "Are these all the sons you have?" "There is still the youngest," Jesse answered, "but he is tending the sheep." Samuel said, "Send for him; we will not sit down until he arrives." {12} So he sent and had him brought in. He was ruddy, with a fine appearance and handsome features. Then the LORD said, "Rise and anoint him; he is the one." + +### Observation + +After God rejected Saul, or better, after Saul rejected God, Samuel was instructed to anoint the next king of Israel. God directed Samuel to the home of Jesse who made six of his seven children parade in front of the prophet who chose none of them. After inquiring as to whether there were any other children, he was told about the youngest one, tending the flocks in the field at the moment. When the youngest son, David, came in, immediately Samuel identified him as the successor to Saul, and the second king of Israel. + +### Application + +The youngest child in a family can take a lot from his/her older siblings. In many cases, by the time the hand-me-downs they’ve been worn by so many older siblings that they look pitiful, and the toys, books, and furniture are not in the best of shape either. They have to compete with older siblings for everything from school, to sports, and even for their parent’s attention, and for their entire life they be seen as the “baby” of the family. + +At the same time, since they seem unable to compete with their older siblings in other areas because they are taller, faster, more knowledgeable, they excel in other areas, among them, in the area of laughter – from an early age they learn that when they act in certain ways they draw attention to themselves, and they love being the center of attention. This leads them to clown around, tell funny stories, and do all they can to make others laugh and thus be the life of every party. No wonder so many actors and comedians are the last-born of the family. + +Paul wrote to young pastor Timothy: “Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.” (1 Tim 4:12 NKJV) For those of us who have some of the characteristics of the last-born and enjoy humor and laughter, we can identify with David who was a singer (entertainer?), and with the fact that his older siblings did not take him seriously (see 1 Samuel 17:28). But God doesn’t see younger children or the last-born child as unnecessary, unskilled, or unimportant. In fact, with God’s guidance, and the natural gift of laughter, a younger person can do great things – just look at king David! + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, may our conduct be such that others may respect who we are and what we do and thus be able to help others come to You. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/06-march-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/06-march-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..4b8892ac11 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/06-march-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Young, But Chosen +startDate: 03/06/2025 +endDate: 03/06/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/07-march-2025/07-march-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/07-march-2025/07-march-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..cab7fd7fa5 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/07-march-2025/07-march-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,42 @@ +--- +title: A Treasured Friendship +date: 03/07/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> (1 Sam 20:41-42 NKJV) As soon as the lad had gone, David arose from a place toward the south, fell on his face to the ground, and bowed down three times. And they kissed one another; and they wept together, but David more so. {42} Then Jonathan said to David, "Go in peace, since we have both sworn in the name of the LORD, saying, 'May the LORD be between you and me, and between your descendants and my descendants, forever.' " So he arose and departed, and Jonathan went into the city. + +### Observation + +The friendship between David and Jonathan is among the best known in history. Jonathan was willing to receive the wrath of his own father and maybe even be vanished from his presence to protect his best friend David, and at the end he found the way to help David flee so he would not be killed by his father, King Saul. + +### Application + +There is another story of antiquity that has become a classic illustration of true friendship, it’s the story of Damon and Pythias: + +THERE lived in those days in Syracuse two young men called Damon and Pythias. They were very good friends, and loved each other so dearly that they were hardly ever seen apart. Now it happened that Pythias in some way roused the anger of the tyrant, who put him in prison, and condemned him to die in a few days. When Damon heard of it, he was in despair, and vainly tried to obtain his friend's pardon and release. + +The mother of Pythias was very old, and lived far away from Syracuse with her daughter. When the young man heard that he was to die, he was tormented by the thought of leaving the women alone. In an interview with his friend Damon, Pythias regretfully said that he would die easier had he only been able to bid his mother good-by and find a protector for his sister. Damon, anxious to gratify his friend's last wish, went into the presence of the tyrant, and proposed to take the place of Pythias in prison, and even on the cross, if need be, provided the latter were allowed to visit his relatives once more. + +Dionysius had heard of the young men's touching friendship, and hated them both merely because they were good; yet he allowed them to change places, warning them both however, that, if Pythias were not back in time, Damon would have to die in his stead. At first Pythias refused to allow his friend to take his place in prison, but finally he consented, promising to be back in a few days to release him. So Pythias hastened home, found a husband for his sister, and saw her safely married. Then after providing for his mother and bidding her farewell, he set out to return to Syracuse. + +The young man was traveling alone and on foot. He soon fell into the hands of thieves, who bound him fast to a tree; and it was only after hours of desperate struggling that he managed to wrench himself free once more, and sped along his way. He was running as hard as he could to make up for lost time, when he came to the edge of a stream. He had crossed it easily a few days before; but a sudden spring freshet had changed it into a raging torrent, which no one else would have ventured to enter. In spite of the danger, Pythias plunged into the water, and, nerved by the fear that his friend would die in his stead, he fought the waves so successfully that he reached the other side safe but almost exhausted. + +Regardless of his pains, Pythias pressed anxiously onward, although his road now lay across a plain, where the hot rays of the sun and the burning sands greatly increased his fatigue and faintness, and almost made him die of thirst. Still he sped onward as fast as his trembling limbs could carry him; for the sun was sinking fast, and he knew that his friend would die if he were not in Syracuse by sunset. + +Dionysius, in the mean while, had been amusing himself by taunting Damon, constantly telling him that he was a fool to have risked his life for a friend, however dear. To anger him, he also insisted that Pythias was only too glad to escape death, and would be very careful not to return in time. Damon, who knew the goodness and affection of his friend, received these remarks with the scorn they deserved, and repeated again and again that he knew Pythias would never break his word, but would be back in time, unless hindered in some unforeseen way. + +The last hour came. The guards led Damon to the place of crucifixion, where he again asserted his faith in his friend, adding, however, that he sincerely hoped Pythias would come too late, so that he might die in his stead. + +Just as the guards were about to nail Damon to the cross, Pythias dashed up, pale, bloodstained, and disheveled, and flung his arms around his friend's neck with a sob of relief. For the first time, Damon now turned pale, and began to shed tears of bitter regret. In a few hurried, panting words, Pythias explained the cause of his delay, and, loosing his friend's bonds with his own hands, bade the guards bind him instead. + +Dionysius, who had come to see the execution, was so touched by this true friendship, that for once he forgot his cruelty, and let both young men go free, saying that he would not have believed such devotion possible had he not seen it with his own eyes. + +I have been blessed to have such a friend. We have shared our friendship for nearly forty years, in two countries, through sad painful events like the death of my and her father, to joyful events like my wedding to Pam and her wedding to her husband to the birth of our two and her two daughters, to the wedding of one of her daughters, which I had the joy to perform almost two years ago. Together our families have spent good times together, we have had many phone conversations to share in our successes or to cry over our distresses.

Living in the south, where prejudice and racial differences were strong (and still is in many places), George hired African-Americans to work for him, and always treated them fairly and respectfully. One of the best tributes we saw and heard at his funeral was from those men who had worked for him through the years speak of him more like a father to them than simply their boss. I was the recipient of his respect as well. As a young man, married to his oldest daughter, he treated me from the first day we were dating as a member of the family. He asked my advice, share with me his thoughts and feelings, talked about his concerns. After he was diagnosed with brain cancer, he had his will drawn up. I remember we were visiting Pam’s family for the weekend and while the ladies were out shopping, he came to me, showed me his will, and asked for my opinion, as to whether I thought he was being fair and correct in the decisions for his estate. Not only did I think he was indeed fair in his decisions, but the act of asking me, someone a couple of decades his junior, for my opinion showed me his care and respect for me. + +We seem to have lost the virtue of respect in our day. Today, it is people in authority that are always wrong – at least that’s the message we transmit to our children. Teachers are wrong for giving too much or too little homework, or for not giving our children the highest grade, even if they didn’t do the work that deserved that grade. Police officers are always wrong for arresting someone, even if that person hurt, killed, or threatened to kill them or someone else. It’s as if we have come to the place where our children must be right or we must be right and everybody else therefore has to be wrong. + +For me, David’s actions with Saul showed that you can show respect even to your enemies or to those that treat you wrongly; it doesn’t make you any less than they are. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, help us to rediscover the lost virtue of respect and to teach it to our children. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/08-march-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/08-march-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..21aedd8c67 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/08-march-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: The Lost Virtue +startDate: 03/08/2025 +endDate: 03/08/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/09-march-2025/09-march-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/09-march-2025/09-march-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..5e1c1bda77 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/09-march-2025/09-march-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,32 @@ +--- +title: A Good Wife +date: 03/09/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> (1 Sam 25:3 NKJV) The name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail. And she was a woman of good understanding and beautiful appearance; but the man was harsh and evil in his doings. And he was of the house of Caleb. + +### Observation + +Nabal was a very wealthy man, financially, but a very foolish, even wicked, man. David and his men had been protecting Nabal’s people, so David requested help in the form of supplies. Nabal’s lack of wisdom showed in denying David what he requested thus also demonstrating lack of gratitude. On the other hand, Abigail, Nabal’s wife, is described as being wise and beautiful. She understood not only how David had protected her husband’s servants, and as a result alla of them, but she also understood that if the wrong steps were taken David cold easily destroy them all, which in fact would have happened had she not intervened. + +After she gathered provisions for David and his men, and presented them to him, David was grateful and spared Nabal and all his people. Nabal, on the other hand, was partying at home and since he was drunk Abigail chose not to tell him what all had transpired until he was sober. After Abigail told Nabal, he basically lost his life until eventually he did die. David, appreciating Abigail’s beauty and wisdom, asked her to become his wife. Again showing her wisdom, Abigail accepted with words that also show her humility: “Then she arose, bowed her face to the earth, and said, "Here is your maidservant, a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord” (vs.41). + +### Application + +There are, in this story, three characteristics of a good wife: + +**1. Physical Beauty:** Men, by nature, are more visual and are therefore attracted, first of all, to the physical attributes of a woman. While these vary from culture to culture and from man to man, in general terms men look at the outward appearance of a woman before they consider any other of her attributes. Willard Harley, in his book His Needs, Her Needs, even goes as far as to say that having an attractive spouse is one of the most important emotional needs of a man. + +**2. Wisdom (or good understanding):** Although physical beauty attracts men at first, there’s a point at which we know there’s more to it than that and we want to have a wife with whom we can share our thoughts, our feelings, our goals and plans for the future, someone who can understand us and will support and encourage us. + +**3. Humility:** Men still long to be the protector and provider of the home and to have his wife follow his leadership. Harley also says that one other important emotional need of man is to have his wife’s admiration and respect. A good wife may be as gifted and talented as her husband, or even more so. But a wise, humble wife will still express appreciation and admiration for her husband so he won’t feel inferior to her. + +I suppose we could try to find the wife that meets all the characteristics of the woman in Proverbs 31, a nearly impossible task, or we can begin by looking for such a woman as Abigail, or if you’re a woman you can begin by putting these three attributes into practice in your life; you will like it, and your husband will love you even more. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, thank You for making us the way we are and for showing us that our differences can be complimentary of each other for our mutual benefit. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/09-march-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/09-march-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..573321b619 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/09-march-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: A Good Wife +startDate: 03/09/2025 +endDate: 03/09/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/10-march-2025/10-march-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/10-march-2025/10-march-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..1633c54341 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/10-march-2025/10-march-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,83 @@ +--- +title: Suicide is NOT Painless +date: 03/10/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> (Gen 31:50 NKJV) "If you afflict my daughters, or if you take other wives besides my daughters, although no man is with us; see, God is witness between you and me!" + +### Observation + +After working for Laban for twenty years, Jacob leaves with his wives and children to go back home. Laban catches up with him and chastises Jacob for leaving without announcing his departure or giving him a chance to say his farewells to his daughters and grandchildren. His biggest issue, though, seems to be the fact that his household idols disappeared – Rachel had taken them. After looking for them and not finding his idols, Laban and Jacob establish a series of covenants and build a stone pillar, or memorial, to remind them, and anyone who would ask, about their covenant. We know the words of the Mizpah established here: “"May the LORD watch between you and me when we are absent one from another” (vs.49). It is the second part of their covenant that we don’t seem to pay much attention to as Laban told Jacob two things: 1. Not to mistreat or abuse his daughters, and 2. Not to take any other wives. And this covenant was to be made not just between them, but it was a covenant before God. + +### Application + +It would be well for spouses to remember and abide by the words of this covenant: + +1. There should never be abuse in the marital relationship, in the home, or in the family. There is no excuse or reason for abuse of any type, and therefore it should never happen in a Christian home. + +2. Neglect in any area of our lives – whether it be physical by withholding food, clothing, shelter, affection, intimacy, etc., is seen as a violation of the marital covenant to care for one another. + +3. Once the marriage takes place, there should not be any other person – man or woman – to enter into that relationship as it will disrupt it, damage it, and destroy it. + +4. Our covenants – particularly marriage – is not just with one another but between us and God. Therefore adultery and divorce are taken very seriously by God because they are a violation of a covenant we made with Him. Many take divorce very lightly and excuse themselves behind things like irreconcilable difference; We can rationalize as much as we want to, but God does not accept or condone divorce for no reason. Through the prophet Malachi God declared, “I hate divorce,” says the LORD God of Israel. . . “So guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith” (Mal 2:16 NIV). + +It is interesting that Laban put these two conditions in his covenant with Jacob as some argue that Abuse, Neglect, and Adultery are the only three reasons given in the Bible for divorce that is acceptable to God. (See Divorce and Remarriage in the Bible by David Instone-Brewer). + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, thank you for the covenant we established with our spouse and with You because it keeps us close together in the bond of matrimony You established. Together, we are a strand of three which can never be broken as long as You are at the center of our lives. Keep that bond and that covenant strong and alive in our daily living, in our home, in our family, and in our marriage, and may You watch between our spouse and us when we are together and specially when we’re absent from one another. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/11-march-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/11-march-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..556651c21a --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/11-march-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: God is Our Witness +startDate: 03/11/2025 +endDate: 03/11/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/12-march-2025/12-march-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/12-march-2025/12-march-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..499bb4907a --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/12-march-2025/12-march-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,42 @@ +--- +title: She Despised Him +date: 03/12/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> (2 Sam 6:16 NKJV) Now as the ark of the LORD came into the City of David, Michal, Saul's daughter, looked through a window and saw King David leaping and whirling before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart. + +### Observation + +With dancing and rejoicing David celebrated the return of the ark of God to Jerusalem. From a distance, his wife Michal watching and thought it disgraceful that the king would act that way instead of being more dignified. She criticized him, David became defensive, and to the end of their life did not enjoy a good marital relationship. + +### Application + +In the relationship between David and Michal we can see some of the dynamics that bring about the destruction of a Marriage. Willard Harley, author of such books as Love Busters and His Needs, Her Needs, says that there are three states of Mind in Marriage. Michal and David exemplify the three states. + +**State # 1. Intimacy** + +(1 Sam 18:20 NKJV) Now Michal, Saul's daughter, loved David. And they told Saul, and the thing pleased him. + +David must have had feelings toward her, enough to go to war for her (1 Sam 18:27-28). Michael loved David enough to lie to protect him, even from her own father (1 Sam 19:11-18). Maybe the beginning of their downfall took place when Saul, her father, gave her in marriage to Paltiel, and maybe she learned to love her new husband (1 Sam 25:44). + +**State #2 - Conflict** + +John Gottman’s research suggests there are four ways of interacting that sabotage your attempts to communicate with your partner. One of what he calls The Four Horsemen of Marriages in Trouble is **_Criticism_** (illustrated in our text for today). Criticism involves attacking someone’s personality or character – rather than a specific behavior – usually with blame. Gottman also identified a second damaging way or horsemen which is _**Contempt**_ (also used by Michal in our text). Ellen White adds an interesting insight: “In the bitterness of her passion she could not await David's return to the palace, but went out to meet him, and to his kindly greeting poured forth a torrent of bitter words. Keen and cutting was the irony of her speech” {Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 708}. Michael couldn’t wait to pour cold water on David’s joy and enthusiasm and didn’t just criticized him for his actions but showed contempt for not behaving in a regal manner. + +Gottman states that “what separates contempt from criticism is the intention to insult and psychologically abuse your partner. With your words and body language, you’re lobbing insults right into the heart of your partner’s sense of self. Fueling these contemptuous actions are negative thoughts about the partner – he or she is stupid, disgusting, incompetent, a fool.” You can almost hear Michal’s mocking tone and her twisted smile and the rolling of her eyes as she said to David, “How glorious was the king of Israel today, uncovering himself today in the eyes of the maids of his servants, as one of the base fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!” (2 Samuel 6:20 NKJV) + +David, on the other hand, used the third of Gottman’s horsemen, _**Defensiveness**_. His anger and dismay at the “welcome” he received from his wife turned into anger and a defensive attack: (2 Sam 6:21-22 NKJV) So David said to Michal, "It was before the LORD, who chose me instead of your father and all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the LORD, over Israel. Therefore I will play music before the LORD. {22} "And I will be even more undignified than this, and will be humble in my own sight. But as for the maidservants of whom you have spoken, by them I will be held in honor." + +**State #3 - Withdrawal** + +While it is not directly stated, the last words of this story tells us their marriage fell apart. It is possible that David used the fourth of Gottman’s horsemen, _**Stonewalling**_, and simply tuned her out completely. Regardless, they reached the third state of marriage as described by Harley, the state of Withdrawal and their marriage simply continued as existing together, but there was no love between them: “Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no children to the day of her death” (2 Sam. 6:23). + +How different their life might have been! Maybe it all began with a poor relationship with his father-in-law. Maybe it was another relationship, Michal’s marriage to Paltiel, that damaged her love for her hsuband David. Maybe it was David’s marriages to Abigail and others that interfered with his love for Michal. Maybe it was not caring for their relationship and sabotaging it so that they moved down the slide from Intimacy through conflict to withdrawal. I guess the question is, do you see yourself somewhere along that continuum? Do you see yourself sabotaging your relationship by using any or several or all of the “horsemen”? Learning and understanding about your situation is one important step on the way to healing, but the next steps you take will determine whether your marriage declines and dies or survives and thrives. Seek help, ask for help, pray for help, call for help; not taking a positive action will mean letting your marriage drown in the sea of divorce. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, may what happened to David and Michal never happen to us in our marriage.

The only one left was Jonathan’s son, Mephibosheth, who was lame because in escaping his nursemaid dropped him and his feet were probably broken. While he was afraid at first, eventually David’s kindness won him over and he ate at the king’s table for the rest of his life. + +### Application + +I have liked this story ever since I first read it, not only because it is a story of brotherly kindness but also because it is an allegory of God’s plan of salvation for us. I preached a sermon about it and want to share its highlights. Notice the beautiful parallels: + +1. Mephibosheth was lame on his feet. vs.3 + +2 Sam. 4:4 describes how he became lame in both feet. In Jewish minds, any kind of disease or deformity was the direct result of that person’s sin, so Mephibosheth’s crippling state was viewed as happening as a result of his sin. When you think of it, Sin has crippled us. To me it is amazing to think that while everything in the royal palace must have looked nice and neat, King David wanted to bring in a crippled man – symbol of sickness and sin – and all just for the sake of his friend Jonathan. Maybe that’s what Jesus meant when He said, (Matthew 9:12 NIV) "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick." + +2. Dead Dog . . . . vs.8 + +Let’s pick up the story in 2 Samuel: 6When Mephibosheth son of Jonathan (who was the son of Saul), came before David, he bowed deeply, abasing himself, honoring David. David spoke his name: “Mephibosheth.” “Yes sir?” 7“Don’t be frightened,” said David. “I’d like to do something special for you in memory of your father Jonathan. To begin with, I’m returning to you all the properties of your grandfather Saul. Furthermore, from now on you’ll take all your meals at my table.” 8Shuffling and stammering, not looking him in the eye, Mephibosheth said, “Who am I that you pay attention to a stray dog like me?” + +Mephibosheth was obviously more than surprised – he was shocked. You might say that his self-concept had hit rock bottom. Just imagine, if all your life you grew up believing that you were crippled because God was punishing you for your sin, how would you feel? Well, Mephibosheth felt so low, he though of himself as no more than a stray dog, worse yet, a dead dog. The grandson of a mad, sinful, egotistical king who had tried to kill David before. A crippled man in a society that considered him an outcast. + +3. His Name + +Even his name tells us something of who or what he was. In fact, he had two names. 1 Chronicles 8:44 tells us his name was Merib-baal. – which means “Baal is my lawyer.” Baal was the pagan god of the Canaanites. His name declared that Baal, the pagan god, was his attorney. His name was so embarrassing to him that it was changed to Mephibosheth (2 Samuel 9:6), which means shame. + +4. Where he live. + +If that were not enough, even where he lived was bad. The story tells us that he lived in a place called Lo-Debar (vs.4). In the Hebrew language, Lo means No, and Debar means nothing. Lo-Debar, literally means No-Nothing, and what it really is and it describes is a place that is worse than nothing. The prophet Amos wrote of this place: (Amos 6:13 NKJV) "You who rejoice over Lo Debar, Who say, "Have we not taken Karnaim for ourselves By our own strength?"" The Living Bible renders this text: (Amos 6:13 TLB) "And just as stupid is your rejoicing in how great you are when you are less than nothing--and priding yourselves on your own tiny power!" + +You see what this passage is saying? Lo-Debar was not only nothing, but less or worse than nothing. Isn’t that a fair description of our world today? The more we think we’re making it better, the worse it seems to get! The more we try to fix it with technological advances, the more we ruin it. + +This man’s condition is worthy of the intensive care unit in God’s hospital. . . . He was lost, he was crippled by sin, he had no social status, because an ex-royalty is no royalty at all, he had a shameful name, descriptive of his situation, and he was living in a place that was worse than nothing. And yet, it was to him – lost, crippled, sick, shameful Mephibosheth from Lo-Debar, that David, the King, wanted to show kindness. In fact, what exactly did David want him to enjoy? + +5. Return of his father’s land - vs.7 + +“Don’t be frightened,” said David. “I’d like to do something special for you in memory of your father Jonathan. To begin with, I’m returning to you all the properties of your grandfather Saul. + +Genesis 1:28 and 2:15 tell us that the Lord put man in the Garden of Eden to tend it, to care for it, to be his home, but we also know that when Adam chose to disobey God he lost what God had given him. Later, God promised Abraham that he would inherit the promised land and through him the promise has been passed to the remnant of all the ages. Jesus Himself confirmed that promise, (Matthew 5:5 NKJV) "Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth." Paradise, given to Adam and his descendants, was lost at the Fall, but will be returned to them at the establishment of God’s eternal kingdom on earth. + +6. Eat at the King’s Table Continually. v.7. + +Furthermore, from now on you’ll take all your meals at my table.” + +King David, a type of Christ, didn’t see in Mephibosheth a crippled, outcast person, a person living in a dump and with a name that was not worth repeating. He saw a child of THE KING – one who deserved, not of his own merit, but because of a promise to his father, to be treated like royalty. + +Think of it – WE ARE THAT MEPHIBOSHETH! Living in this filthy planet – filthy because we have made it so. A planet that has gone so bad that one day the Lord will have to clean it completely with fire so that no trace of what we now know and see of it will remain. + +We are that Mephibosheth! Crippled by sin so that, as Paul would declare with frustration, (Romans 7:15 TLB) "I don't understand myself at all, for I really want to do what is right, but I can't. I do what I don't want to--what I hate." + +We are that Mephibosheth! with a shameful name. Jesus said that every time we lie, Satan becomes our “prosecuting Attorney.” But it’s not what we are, but what he sees in us, and what we can become in Jesus, that concerns Him. And to us, He promises that He will come back for us so that we may live in His House (John 14:1-3), that we will inherit the earth – purified and made new – restored so that it’s as good as new, like it was when God created and gave it to Adam and Eve (Revelation 21:1-4), that we become children of God, not slaves and outcasts (Galatians 4:7), that we receive a new name (Revelation 2:17) + +Now, I want you to think about this. Mephibosheth could have refused. And in the same way, God doesn’t force us to accept His free gifts for us. In fact, today, many refuse, reject God’s free gifts. Maybe they feel they’re not worthy. Maybe they feel they have sinned too much, too often, in too many ways. Maybe they feel they’ve gone too far for God’s grace to reach them. Read these words: There are those who have known the pardoning love of Christ and who really desire to be children of God, yet they realize that their character is imperfect, their life faulty, and they are ready to doubt whether their hearts have been renewed by the Holy Spirit. To such I would say, Do not draw back in despair. We shall often have to bow down and weep at the feet of Jesus because of our shortcomings and mistakes, but we are not to be discouraged. Even if we are overcome by the enemy, we are not cast off, not forsaken and rejected of God. No; Christ is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Said the beloved John, "These things write I unto you, that you sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous." 1 John 2:1. And do not forget the words of Christ, "The Father Himself loves you." John 16:27. He desires to restore you to Himself, to see His own purity and holiness reflected in you. And if you will but yield yourself to Him, He that has begun a good work in you will carry it forward to the day of Jesus Christ. Pray more fervently; believe more fully. As we come to distrust our own power, let us trust the power of our Redeemer, and we shall praise Him who is the health of our countenance. {SC 64.1} + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, thank You for Your plan to save us, as sinful and wicked as we may be.

Scripture

+> (2 Sam 13:15 NKJV) Then Amnon hated her exceedingly, so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to her, "Arise, be gone!" + +### Observation + +Amnon, son of David, fell in love with his step-sister Tamar and plotted to have her come to his house under the pretense of being sick. While there, he forced her, maybe even raped her, but having accomplished his evil plot he despised her and rejected her altogether. + +### Application + +I wish more single young people, teens and single young adults, would read this story and learn that it follows the pattern or most pre-marital relationships. I think this is particularly important for young ladies who surrender their virginity early with the desire to show their boyfriend their love, for fear they will loose them if they reject their advances, or in the hope they will keep them even while he pulls away from them. Those who believe in evolution would say that man is the hunter and when they have caught their prey they loose interest in them. Those of us who believe in God believe that once a woman has surrendered what is most sacred to her, men loose respect for them, and therefore they have no more interest in them. While young man think that having premarital sex will bring them closer together, more often than not it becomes an insurmountable barrier. + +Several years ago there was an article in Time magazine about the report by the National Marriage Project, out of Rutgers University in New Jersey, which says that, “Cohabitating couples are more likely to experience a host of domestic problems — including, if they finally get marriage, divorce. + +Last year in the U.S., more than 4 million unmarried heterosexual couples shacked up, in contrast to only half a million at the end of the supposedly free-spirited ‘60's. Though living together has become conventional, the report cites studies showing that these unions, in comparison to marriages, tend to have more episodes of domestic violence to women and physical and sexual abuse of children. It notes that annual rates of depression among unmarried couples are more than three times those of married couples. + +The report contends that cohabitation reduces the likelihood of later wedded bliss. It quotes a 1992 study of 3,300 adults showing that those who had lived with a partner were 46% (it is now known to be 80%) more likely to divorce than those who had not. ‘The longer you cohabit, the more tolerant you are of divorce,’ says David Popenoe, the sociologist who co-wrote the study. ‘You are used to living in a low-commitment relationship, and it’s hard to shift that kind of mental pattern.’” + +Premarital sex and premarital cohabitation do not benefit the relationship; instead, it will bring a host of problems, challenges, and difficulties including not marrying the person with whom they had intercourse or with whom they live, including abuse to them or their children, and ultimately divorce. God’s plan for sex after marriage is best and healthiest and provides the best chances for lasting happiness. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, bless the young and single who are tempted to enter into relationships and practice premarital sex and help them to not fall into a sin which will bring about life-lasting difficulties and challenges.

Scripture

+> Then the king was deeply moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept. And as he went, he said thus: "O my son Absalom; my son, my son Absalom; if only I had died in your place! O Absalom my son, my son!" (2 Sam 18:33 NKJV) + +### Observation + +Absalom had show his rebellious spirit when he killed his brother Amnon, albeit to avenge the rape of his sister at the hands of Amnon, and by sitting at the gate of the city in judgment as if he were the king. That spirit of rebellion ripened into a coup d’état against his own father, King David. But for Absalom it was not enough that he had routed his father, he wanted to destroy him completely, so he pursued him as David fled. Among the things for which Absalom was known was a head full of long, thick hair. While pursuing David, Absalom ran under the thick boughs of a terebinth tree, his hair got caught in them and he was left hanging in mid air exposed to the enemy. Joab, David’s general, came and killed him there. + +Joab sent news to David of Absalom’s death, and today’s text tell us of his reaction to the news. And while Israel could have been celebrating the victory and the fact David could now return to Jerusalem, they all felt awkward by seeing the king mourning. Joab chastised the king for not affirming the troops which protected him and who won this victory over those who were pursuing him. + +### Application + +I have been told by those going through it that there is no more painful death than the death of a son or daughter, regardless of their age. I remember being at the hospital with the mother of a stillborn child and a few months later in another room nearby with the parents of a three-year-old. As a police chaplain I had to give a family the news of the tragic death on a motorcycle of their seventeen-year-old son and have officiated at the funeral of a forty-five year-old daughter who died of cancer. During times like these and many others like them, the parents have told me again and again how that the death of their parents or a sibling or a dear friend was painful but their pain at losing a child was so much worse, almost unbearable. Even if their son or daughter had left the fold, like Absalom, their death was nonetheless sad for their parents. + +It seems like the right order of events should always be that as you get older and your parents age by the time they die you are old enough to accept it as a natural part of life. I lost my dad when I was fifteen years old and my mom when I was 42 years old, and their deaths affected me in different ways. At any rate, it is expected that at some point in time your parents will pass on. But your child will always be younger than you and thus you don’t expect to have them die before you; it is not the normal way of life. For Adam and Eve, the murder of their son Abel, particularly at the hand of his brother Cain, must have been horrible. For David the death of his first son with bathsheba and not of Absalom was most painful. For God the death of His Son Jesus must have been most difficult. And yet, he experiences the death of so many of His children every single day! That’s why during the difficult, painful days following the death of a child we can find comfort in Him who truly knows what it is like to loose a child. And with God, it’s not just the He understands, but somehow He also brings the healing we need. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, I pray none of us ever experience the death of one of our children; bless them and protect them. For those who have, bless them and comfort them, and may Your comforting, loving arms surround them during their time of mourning until healing comes. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/15-march-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/15-march-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..83f21b5787 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/15-march-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: The Most Painful Death +startDate: 03/15/2025 +endDate: 03/15/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/16-march-2025/16-march-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/16-march-2025/16-march-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..f6f023d8e1 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/16-march-2025/16-march-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,26 @@ +--- +title: Mom's Love +date: 03/16/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> Then she said to him, "My lord, you swore by the LORD your God to your maidservant, saying, 'Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne.' (1 Ki 1:17 NKJV) + +### Observation + +Absalom’s brother, Adonijah, decided to make himself king of Israel since his father David was old and getting closer to his death. Bathsheba, mother of Solomon, asked David to fulfill his promise to her to elevate Solomon to the throne which is indeed what David did, not just to respond to her request but also following God’s plan and will for David and his family. + +### Application + +Second only to the love God has for us is the love that mothers have for their children. In fact, that love is so special that God uses it as illustrations of his love for us in various places in the Scriptures. + +Among the Jewish people, the love of mothers for their children is legendary and is credited for the great success of so many of them. They joke about the mothers who while holding their babies in arms or when they’re still small children they introduce them as, “this my Aaron, the doctor,” or “this is my David, the lawyer,” and when they leave for school they make sure their children have their books while other mothers may be more concerned as to whether their children have their lunch or are properly clothed to go outside. In the gospels, John and James’ mother asked Jesus for a special place for her sons, next to Jesus. As upset as the other disciples were, we sometimes are annoyed with mothers who are too proud of their children and would like for the rest of us to admire their children. If they wish to be proud of their kids they have ever right to do so, but not try to force them on us. + +As a father who loves his daughters dearly, it may sound “unfair” that the love of fathers is not shown as prominently as that of mothers. But the reality is that carrying a child inside for the months of pregnancy makes those children much more a part of them than they are of the fathers. But it doesn’t mean we as fathers cannot develop a strong bond with our children. I am blessed to have a very close, strong relationship with my daughters and we enjoy spending time together. But I also recognize that there are many things where they and their mother have a stronger bond – like shopping, or talking about clothes. Some time ago I heard that James Dobson, the famous Christian psychologist, claims that the most strained relationship today is that between men and their sons. Since I don’t have sons I don’t know why that may be, but we as parents should still try to maintain and nourish close, strong bonds with our children. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, thank you for our children and for the good relationship we enjoy with them. May those bonds be strengthened each day.

Scripture

+> (Gen 35:16-20 NKJV) Then they journeyed from Bethel. And when there was but a little distance to go to Ephrath, Rachel labored in childbirth, and she had hard labor. {17} Now it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said to her, "Do not fear; you will have this son also." {18} And so it was, as her soul was departing (for she died), that she called his name Ben-Oni; but his father called him Benjamin. {19} So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem). {20} And Jacob set a pillar on her grave, which is the pillar of Rachel's grave to this day. + +### Observation + +Chapter 35 of Genesis relates in rapid succession three deaths that impacted the life of Jacob and that of his family: + +1. Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse (v.8). The Bible Knowledge Commentary remarks: “This death seemed to indicate that another stage in the patriarchal narratives was ending. The naming Allon Bacuth (“oak of weeping”) commemorated the weeping over this old nurse, buried under an oak tree.” + +Another commentary adds: “Deborah (Hebrew, a “bee”), supposing her to have been fifty years on coming to Canaan, had attained the great age of a hundred eighty. When she was removed from Isaac’s household to Jacob’s, is unknown. But it probably was on his return from Mesopotamia; and she would have been of invaluable service to his young family. Old nurses, like her, were not only honored, but loved as mothers; and, accordingly, her death was the occasion of great lamentation.” + +2. Rachel dies during childbirth (v.16-20). “The dying mother gave this name to her child, significant of her circumstances; but Jacob changed his name into Benjamin. This is thought by some to have been originally Benjamin, “a son of days,” that is, of old age. But with its present ending it means “son of the right hand,” that is, particularly dear and precious.” The SDABC adds: Benjamin. Literally, “son of the right hand.” Yamin, “right,” connotes happiness and prosperity, and in Arabic, good fortune as well. A true optimist, Jacob felt that his youngest son should have a name expressing courage and hope, a name that would ever remind him of the joy that came to his heart at the birth of his 12th son rather than his sorrow at the loss of Rachel. The one compensated, in part, for the loss of the other.” + +3. Issac (v.28-29). “In the events of chapter 35, Jacob learned that while his return to Canaan was a completion of promises, he could not be complacent for it was also a new beginning. Deborah, Rachel, and Isaac all died, marking the end of an era. Reuben relinquished his right to inherit a blessing (cf. 49:3-4); sin was dealt with. Idols had to be buried and everyone had to be consecrated in order for Jacob’s vow at Bethel to be completed. The nation had to be complete with 12 sons (tribes) in the land. During this great transition faith in God had to be revitalized so that His covenant could be carried forward. For this reason this chapter emphasized Jacob’s vows and God’s promise.” + +### Application + +These three death were the transitional events in the life of Jacob and his children. While the return to Canaan was a joyful event, these three deaths were a somber reminder of the ups and downs of life. Death is as much a natural part of life, since the fall of Adam and Eve, as are birth and growing up; nevertheless, it is one of the natural stages of life that has the greatest impact on our lives, particularly if it comes suddenly and unexpectedly. At the same time, the death of a person presents us with the opportunity to draw closer together for mutual help, support, and encouragement, and families may use such opportunities to heal rifts that might have taken place and to form strong bonds again. At the same time, I hope we don’t wait until a tragic event for us to come closer together but that we will use every opportunity to heal wounds from the past so there is closeness in the future. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, while death is normal in our lives, it is nonetheless painful. When the time comes for us to die, may we be ready, and may we rest with the knowledge that You will take care of our loves ones and bring them the comfort they need during those difficult days of adjustment . May You shelter our children that they may not suffer harm or danger and that we may never experience their death while we, their parents, are still alive. And as You promise, may we hear the voice of Jesus, at His return, calling us to eternal life. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/18-march-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/18-march-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..a4417f7ab9 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/18-march-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: The Pain of Death +startDate: 03/18/2025 +endDate: 03/18/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/19-march-2025/19-march-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/19-march-2025/19-march-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..b239af8af0 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/19-march-2025/19-march-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,26 @@ +--- +title: Healing a Broken Relationship +date: 03/19/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord. Acts 3:19 + +### Observation + +Today’s text comes from Peter’s sermon on the day of Pentecost. The people gathered there from many nations around the world heard the disciples speak in the languages of these nations, but instead of attributing this miracle to God they said the disciples were drunk. Peter defended or explained what was happening and went on to preach the Good News of salvation to those gathered there. + +### Application + +When mistakes, hurts, or sins enter a marital relationship, the spouses can allow them to fester and infect the entire relationship until an amputation – divorce – seems to be the only way to save them individually. They see no way out, no way to fix it, no way to restore intimacy to their relationship. + +Peter’s message is that as much as our relationship with God can be restored when there is repentance, in the same way when there is genuine repentance in our marital relationship there can be forgiveness and full restoration to the intimacy God desires for us to enjoy. This repentance must include full confession and a true recognition that what was done was wrong. There should be no excusing the event, rationalization, or blaming of the other party, but a sincere recognition of what happened and of the pain it caused the other. + +The promise from Peter, to those that repent, is that “the times of refreshing” will come. Often I am asked if it is possible to restore a relationship where adultery has taken place. Peter’s words offer encouragement that it is indeed possible. If God can restore our broken relationship with Him, though we fail Him sometimes on a daily basis, He surely can restore our relationship with our spouse. And while the hurt feelings may take a long time to heal, if there is genuine repentance, it will take place and the relationship can be as good, maybe even better than it was before. It was not the adultery which causes the relationship to be better but rather the recognition of wrongdoing and a new appreciation of the spouse and of the relationship they have before God which will turn what could have been a disastrous end into a new beginning with God at the center of the relationship. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, thank You for restoring our relationship with You and making it even better than before. May that experience be the same in our relationship as spouses and as parents so that when we hurt or fail each other You will restore us and bring us back to the “times of refreshing” You promise. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/19-march-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/19-march-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..86c830998c --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/19-march-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Healing a Broken Relationship +startDate: 03/19/2025 +endDate: 03/19/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/20-march-2025/20-march-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/20-march-2025/20-march-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..c938eb0341 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/20-march-2025/20-march-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,30 @@ +--- +title: A Powerful Relationship +date: 03/20/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> “You shall not intermarry with them, nor they with you. Surely they will turn away your hearts after their gods." Solomon clung to these in love. (1 Ki 11:2 NKJV) + +### Observation + +Solomon, as wise as he was, married hundreds of women, many of who were from the people God had forbidden Israel to have any relationship with. It was these women who led him to commit idolatry, the sin for which Solomon’s children lost the kingdom God had give to David. + +### Application + +As we read of the lives of David and Solomon, both had several things in common: Both were chosen to be kings of Israel, both were prophets, both were inspired, both did many good things for God and for his people, both had multiple wives. But where they were different was that David remained loyal to God while Solomon worshiped the idols that his wives brought with them from their own countries. Without going too deep into the implications, I think we can safely draw a few conclusions: + +1. God knows the danger of entering into a marital relationship with someone of a different faith and forbids it. While many Adventists have led their spouses to God and to the church, the number of Adventists who have left the church because of their spouses is alarming. Marriage is such a powerful emotional relationship that some people may be driven away from God by their spouse. From the very beginning we observe the power of this relationship when Eve led Adam to sin by eating of the forbidden fruit. Adam could not see himself with Eve and chose to die with her rather tha live without her not trusting that God would do what’s best for him. + +2. Adultery must not be the worst of all sins. While we would not condone adultery at any time, at the same time we should not make it the worse of all sins and shun people who commit adultery. In David’s case, not only did he commit adultery but tried to cover it with murder, and yet God said of David that he was a man after His own heart. Solomon had multiple wives, and yet God blessed him with great wisdom. + +3. What God DOES take great offense at is idolatry – turning away from Him to worship other gods. + +Again, we do not wish to excuse adultery in any way, shape, or form. We do discourage marrying someone of a different faith. We must never turn from God to worship idols, whatever and whoever they may be. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, may we always worship You and never idols, may we always be faithful to You and to our spouse, and may Your love always cover us. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/20-march-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/20-march-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..c9ae92a9b0 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/20-march-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: A Powerful Relationship +startDate: 03/20/2025 +endDate: 03/20/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/21-march-2025/21-march-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/21-march-2025/21-march-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..73b77f178b --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/21-march-2025/21-march-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,30 @@ +--- +title: The Pouting Adult and the Enabler +date: 03/21/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> So Ahab went into his house sullen and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he had said, "I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers." And he lay down on his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no food. 5But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, "Why is your spirit so sullen that you eat no food?" 6He said to her, "Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, 'Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you another vineyard for it.' And he answered, 'I will not give you my vineyard.'" 7Then Jezebel his wife said to him, "You now exercise authority over Israel! Arise, eat food, and let your heart be cheerful; I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite." + +### Observation + +Ahab, the King of Samaria, wanted to have the vineyard which was next to his palace and which belonged to a man named Naboth. But Naboth wanted to keep it because it had belonged to his family and wanted it to remain so. Ahab was very upset and went into his room, got in bed, and would not eat. + +When Jezebel, Ahab’s wife, asked him for his behavior, and Ahab told her, she told him to eat and be happy because she would get him Naboth’s vineyard. She then wrote letters on Ahab’s behalf to have Naboth falsely accused of cursing God and the king, for which he was stoned. She then presented Naboth’s vineyard to Ahab. + +### Application + +If it were not so tragic, this story is almost comical. An adult, Ahab, pouting like a child because he couldn’t have someone else’s toy, or vineyard. We can almost imagine Ahab sulking, furrowed brow, hungry but refusing to eat, maybe even crying – the normal reactions of a child who’s not getting his way, but certainly not the reactions of a mature adult. + +On the other hand we have Jezebel, an evil, wicked woman, but also an enabler of her husbands immaturity, selfishness, and childish behavior. It was convenient for her, however, to keep him that way because then she could control him in other ways, like by furthering the worship of Baal in Israel unopposed by her husband. + +Sometime ago I heard of a guest psychologist that Oprah had on her show – the topic was on marital relationships – in which this doctor said something to the effect that women who treat their husbands like children eventually stop finding them undesirable because a woman wants a man and not a child as their husband. There are women who seem to enjoy being in charge at home and being the ones to tell their husbands what to do, and when, and how. They treat them as a mother would treat a young child. In more ways than one they are emasculated by not being allowed to “wear the pants” in the family. But these very women, eventually don’t find their man sexually attractive and don’t realize that they’re the ones who have turned them into less than a man. + +If a man is to grow up, so he doesn’t pout like a child when confronted with challenges and difficulties, he needs a supportive spouse, not one who will enable his moodiness. God designed woman to be a help-meet, not above nor below man. The best help a woman can give her husband is to believe in him, encourage him, and express appreciation and admiration for him. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, may we be true help-meets to our spouse so that they will grow and mature as they help us grow and mature. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/21-march-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/21-march-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..4bc75ee8f0 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/21-march-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: The Pouting Adult and the Enabler +startDate: 03/21/2025 +endDate: 03/21/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/22-march-2025/22-march-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/22-march-2025/22-march-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..4f709094a8 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/22-march-2025/22-march-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,28 @@ +--- +title: Spiritual CPR +date: 03/22/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> He returned and walked back and forth in the house, and again went up and stretched himself out on him; then the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes. (2 Ki 4:35 NKJV) + +### Observation + +A prominent woman of Shunem had cared for Elisha and had her husband build him a room in their house where he could rest when he was passing by. In response to her kindness, Elisha asked God to bless her with a child. When the child was still young, he suddenly got sick and died in his mother’s arms. She went to find Elisha hoping for a miracle. Elisha came, prayed, laid on the child, and finally the child came back to life. This seems like a strange ritual to perform; here are some possible ideas as to why Elisha did what he did. Matthew Henry’s Concise Commentary explains: + +(1.) How closely the prophet applied himself to this great operation, perhaps being sensible that he had tempted God too much in thinking to effect it by the staff in Gehazi’s hand, for which he thought himself rebuked by the disappointment. He now found it a harder task than he then thought, and therefore addressed himself to it with great solemnity. [1.] He prayed unto the Lord (v. 33), probably as Elijah had done, Let this child’s soul come into him again. Christ raised the dead to life as one having authority—Damsel, arise—young man, I say unto thee, Arise—Lazarus, come forth (for he was powerful and faithful as a Son, the Lord of life), but Elijah and Elisha did it by petition, as servants. [2.] He lay upon the child (v. 34), as if he would communicate to him some of his vital heat or spirits. Thus he expressed the earnestness of his desire, and gave a sign of that divine power which he depended upon for the accomplishment of this great work. He first put his mouth to the child’s mouth, as if, in God’s name, he would breathe into him the breath of life; then his eyes to the child’s eyes, to open them again to the light of life; then his hands to the child’s hands, to put strength into them. He then returned, and walked in the house, as one full of care and concern, and wholly intent upon what he was about. Then he went up stairs again, and the second time, stretched himself upon the child, v. 35. Those that would be instrumental in conveying spiritual life to dead souls must thus affect themselves with their case, and accommodate themselves to it, and labour fervently in prayer for them. + +(2.) How gradually the operation was performed. At the first application, the flesh of the child waxed warm (v. 34), which gave the prophet encouragement to continue instant in prayer. After a while, the child sneezed seven times, which was an indication, not only of life, but liveliness. Some have reported it as an ancient tradition that when God breathed into Adam the breath of life the first evidence of his being alive was sneezing, which gave rise to the usage of paying respect to those that sneeze. Some observe here that sneezing clears the head, and there lay the child’s distemper. + +### Application + +This mother did all in her power for her child, and then left the results to God Himself. It may not be the same with every parent, after all, many children die and don’t come to life right away, when their parents would want them back. The promise of the resurrection reminds us that one day, when Jesus returns, parents will be reunited with their children in the most joyful family reunion ever. I have always loved these words which describe the resurrection morning: “The living righteous are changed ‘in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye.’ At the voice of God they were glorified; now they are made immortal and with the risen saints are caught up to meet their Lord in the air. Angels ‘gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.’ Little children are borne by holy angels to their mothers' arms. Friends long separated by death are united, nevermore to part, and with songs of gladness ascend together to the City of God. {Ellen White, The Great Controversy, p.645} [emphasis mine]. + +So while we may not have a prophet today who has the power to bring our children back to life, we do have this scene in which we will be reunited with our children who have died before us. May we never have to go through the pain and separation that death brings about, but if we do, may we hold on to this scene and its promise – eternity with our children with no more death ever! + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, while the pain caused by the death of a child is so overwhelming, it is the promise of the resurrection which can make it bearable. I pray Father for that day to come soon and that we all may enjoy that awesome family reunion with our loved ones. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/22-march-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/22-march-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..0f05c60415 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/22-march-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Spiritual CPR +startDate: 03/22/2025 +endDate: 03/22/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/23-march-2025/23-march-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/23-march-2025/23-march-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..b8c87768a9 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/23-march-2025/23-march-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,67 @@ +--- +title: Check Out the Family +date: 03/23/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done, for the daughter of Ahab was his wife; and he did evil in the sight of the LORD. (2 Ki 8:18 NKJV) + +### Observation + +Jehoram was the king of Judah and he had married the daughter of King Ahab. Evidently his influence had affected his daughter and as she married Jehoram it also affected him so that he did evil in the sight of the Lord. Unfortunately Jehoram’s godly father had less of an influence on him than his ungodly wife did. The daughter of Ahab, whom Jehoram married as part of Jehoshaphat’s treaty with Ahab, was Athaliah, through whose influence Jehoram introduced the worship of Baal and many other evils into the kingdom of Judah (see 2Ch 21:2–20). + +### Application + +As I work with couples preparing for marriage, I recommend, among many other things, that you Take Your Time. + +While preparing for marriage, make sure you have spent enough time in preparation. As Shakespeare wrote in King Henry, “A hasty marriage seldom proveth well.” It takes time to know another person well enough to decide to spend your life with them. Proverbs 21:5 says it well, “The plans of the diligent and informed will lead to abundance, but every one who is hasty will only come to want and ruin.” A wedding is a one-day event, but a marriage is a lifetime commitment. Take the time necessary to learn everything you can about the person with whom you plan to spend a lifetime. + +As a couple, they should focus on two key areas when taking their time to get to know one another. + +1. Get to Know the Other Person’s Family. + +Perhaps you have made the mistake of thinking the other person’s extended family doesn’t matter. The fact is we don’t marry one person; we marry, or join ourselves to, the entire family. + +You must meet the potential in-laws and other family members and spend time getting to know them. Observe how they interact with each other. An old adage fits very well here: An apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. This family reared your potential mate, so you need to know who they are and what they believe. Only time can provide answers to the following questions, which you must answer. + +- Do you know for certain his/her family’s values or habits? +- Is there a spiritual focus of the family? If so, what is it? +- What do they enjoy doing? What are their hobbies and interests? +- How do they handle conflict? How is conflict resolved? +- What is the financial philosophy of the family? Is money important? Is it too important? Did the parents train him/her to be financially responsible? +- How would they react should you choose to marry their son/daughter? +- What kind of in-laws would they be? Uninvolved? Obtrusive? Supportive? +- What was the parenting style of his/her parents? Strict? Flexible? Were they too permissive as parents? +- What kind of influence would they have on your children? + +2. Get to Know as Much as Possible about him/her. + +It will take time to see how the person with whom you are considering marriage handles conflict, jealousy, or failure. Ask any married couple and they will tell you that even when you think you know your spouse there are still many surprises after you are married. + +Ideally it’s beneficial to see a potential marriage partner in every kind of situation before marriage. To do that will take some time, but its time well invested. You must observe how he/she reacts in anger, under stressful situations, and in difficult times. It’s wise and necessary preparation for a successful marriage to learn about the other person’s needs, likes, dislikes, + +quirks, habits, particular weaknesses, and strengths. + +When is the person not right for marriage? We have included some relational warning signs. Some of these characteristics are only revealed over time. + +- Is often caught lying. +- Tends to blame others for everything. +- Is cruel to the innocent and weak. This person may be racist. +- Is controlling. Checks up to see where you go, who you are with, etc. Interrogates you if you’re late or not home. Insists you get permission from him/her before you go anywhere, etc. Handles all the money. +- Attempts to isolate you from your family or friends. Doesn’t want you meeting other people – says he/she is protecting you from people who are not good for you. +- Is extremely jealous. Shows up unexpectedly, checks your phone, even your car mileage. Gets angry if you spend time with anyone other than him/her. +- Quickly says he/she loves you and pushes for serious involvement. Immediately wants an exclusive commitment from you. +- Becomes moody and hypersensitive. Is easily offended. You find yourself constantly apologizing for hurting her/his feelings. +- Verbally berates or attacks you, curses often, is critical, hurtful, or degrading. +- Pressures you for sex. Tries to make up with sex. +- Is repentant but blames for you for his/her actions +- Has pushed, shoved, slapped, or become otherwise physically violent with you. + +If any of these characteristics are apparent run, and run fast! The person is not marriage material. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, as people prepare for their marriage, may they take the time to prepare for this lifetime commitment and may the have their eyes wide open to any concerns they may have about each other and each other’s family.

Scripture

+> And Abraham begot Isaac. The sons of Isaac were Esau and Israel. (1 Chr 1:34 NKJV) + +### Observation + +This is one of the driest portions of the Bible, mainly because it just consists of lists of names, a genealogical chart of the generations since the creation of Adam to the date of the writing of this book. Here and there you may find a short account of a prominent person, but for several chapters there are lists, and more lists. The text today points to one of the best known family tree, that of Abraham. + +### Application + +As part of my doctoral dissertation I wrote the following: + +One way marriage and family therapists, maybe even trained clergy people, can discover unhealthy family patterns transmitted from one generation to the next is by the use of a Genogram. A Genogram is a pictorial display of a person's family relationships and medical history, and goes beyond a traditional family tree by showing hereditary patterns and psychological factors that punctuate relationships. It can be used to identify repetitive patterns of behavior and to recognize hereditary tendencies. A Genogram could help one understand the meaning of the words of God through Moses, “You shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me” (Exodus 20:5 NKJV). While some look at this text as God’s way of punishing succeeding generations for the sins of their fathers, it seems as if what God was trying to show was that the sins, habits, practices of one generation are transmitted to others and often get worse. The editors of the Seventh-day Adventist Commentary explain: + +A distinction should be made, however, between the natural results of a sinful course of action, and punishment inflicted because of it (PP 306). God does not penalize one individual for the wrong deeds of another (Ezekiel. 18:2–24). Each man stands before God, responsible only for his own acts. At the same time God does not interfere with the laws of heredity in such a way as to protect one generation from the misdeeds of its fathers, as that would be inconsistent with His character and His principles of dealing with men. It is only through these laws of heredity, which were of course ordained by the Creator in the beginning (see Gen. 1:21, 24, 25), that divine justice visits the “iniquity” of one generation upon the next. + +No one can escape completely the consequences of dissipation, disease, profligacy, evil doing, ignorance, and bad habits handed down by preceding generations. The descendants of degraded idolaters and the offspring of evil and vicious men generally begin life under the handicap of physical and moral sin, and harvest the fruit of seed sown by their parents. Juvenile delinquency proves the truth of the second commandment. Environment also has a decided effect upon each rising generation. But since God is gracious and just, we may trust Him to deal fairly with each person, making due allowance for the disadvantages of birth, the inherited predispositions, and the influence of previous environment upon character. His justice and mercy require this (Ps. 87:6; Luke 12:47, 48; John 15:22; Acts 17:30; 2 Cor. 8:12). At the same time our aim is to be victorious over every inherited and cultivated tendency to evil (COL 315, 330, 331; DA 671). + +God “visits,” or “appoints,” the results of iniquity, not vindictively, but to teach sinners that a wrong course of action inevitably brings unfortunate results. + +In the Bible there is the history of several prominent families, patriarchs of the Jewish, Christian, and even Muslim faiths. When these families are studied, and with the help of a Genogram, it’s clear to see some of the unhealthy patterns transmitted from one generation to several generations that followed. One of the examples is the family of David, as seen in the Genogram below. At least three patterns or themes become evident from one generation to the next. + +i. The first is their heart or religion. Although we don’t know much about Jesse, David’s father, he must have been a devoted believer in God (1 Samuel 16). God referred to David as a man “after His own heart” (1 Samuel 13:14 NKJV). However, he also committed a doubly-grievous sin when he sinned with Bathsheba and then plotted to have her husband, Uriah, killed. His son, Solomon, was responsible for the actual construction of God’s temple and asks for wisdom and is granted the answer to his prayers plus riches and power as well. However, Solomon married hundreds of wives who led him to mix the worship of God to that of pagan deities. By the time of the next generation Rehoboam, son of Solomon, ignores God completely and practices idolatry of the worst kinds, like other nations around Israel. + +ii. A second pattern or theme that can be seen through the Genogram of David’s family is that of sexual sin. Much like people and rulers of the time, David marries several wives and even commits adultery with Bathsheba before marrying her. His oldest son, Ammon, commits sexual immorality, possible forcible rape, with his half-sister Tamar. David’s other son, Solomon, continues with this pattern by marrying seven hundred wives and adding three hundred concubines to his retinue (1 Kings 11:3). Following him, Solomon’s son Rehoboam had eighteen wives and sixty concubines (2 Chronicles 11:21). + +iii. Another pattern is the family division and sibling rivalry present in every generation. David has some problems with his older brothers who don’t think much of him (1 Samuel 16-17). Absalom, one of his sons, murders one of his brothers, Ammon as revenge for raping his sister Tamar. Later Absalom rebels against his own father and goes out in pursuit of him but is tragically killed by one of David’s generals. Rehoboam, Solomon’s son, continues this pattern of rebellion and disobedience to God so Israel is divided into two with ten tribes to the north and two to the south. Eventually both separate kingdoms are conquered by surrounding nations and the people either taken captive or scattered. + +This knowledge of family history through the use of Genograms is very important, as Scazzero writes, because “sin is passed on from generation to generation.

Scripture

+> (Gen 37:3-4 NKJV) Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age. Also he made him a tunic of many colors. {4} But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not speak peaceably to him. + +### Observation + +It is obvious that Jacob loved all his children. In vs. 14 we read that Jacob sent Joseph to look for his brothers and see if they were well. It is also clear that the brothers, although they “hated him,” did not want to murder him, and when Reuben found out Joseph was gone he tore his clothes as in mourning. Nevertheless, Jacob treated Joseph in a more favorable way than any of his other children; he showed a favoritism that increased their jealousy. Jacob already showed partiality toward Rachel, now he showed the same favoritism for her first child and later for Benjamin. No wonder there was sibling rivalry which continued even after the settling in the Promised Land and the division of the Israel in two. + +### Application + +It is not only not wise but not healthy to favor one child over another – it creates jealousy, competition, rivalry, and in some extreme cases it may even lead to death. Jacob should have known the consequences of favoritism as his own father, Isaac, favored his brother Esau and wanted to give him the blessing for the first born even thought the promise/prophecy had been made to show the blessing belonged to Jacob. The result of his own deceitfulness were his fleeing from home, living in exile for twenty years, and to never be able to see his mother alive again. We must do all in our power, as parents, to treat all our children as individuals of value, without favoring one over the other or others, and showing favoritism for everyone equally. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, You give us all the same opportunities for salvation and You pour Your blessings richly to all – the sunshine, rain, air to breathe, water, food, etc. And even when we misuse the resources You so plentifully give us, You continue to pour out Your richest blessings on us. Thank You, Father. May we be loving, patient, and kind to all our children, showing no favoritism to any one over the others but giving them all equally our love for them as You do for us. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/25-march-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/25-march-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..d7a41d11be --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/25-march-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: The Preferred Son +startDate: 03/25/2025 +endDate: 03/25/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/26-march-2025/26-march-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/26-march-2025/26-march-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..06fb02615d --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/26-march-2025/26-march-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,24 @@ +--- +title: Praise God for His Will +date: 03/26/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> (1 Chr 17:16-27 NKJV) Then King David went in and sat before the LORD; and he said: "Who am I, O LORD God? And what is my house, that You have brought me this far? {17} "And yet this was a small thing in Your sight, O God; and You have also spoken of Your servant's house for a great while to come, and have regarded me according to the rank of a man of high degree, O LORD God. {18} "What more can David say to You for the honor of Your servant? For You know Your servant. {19} "O LORD, for Your servant's sake, and according to Your own heart, You have done all this greatness, in making known all these great things. {20} "O LORD, there is none like You, nor is there any God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our ears. {21} "And who is like Your people Israel, the one nation on the earth whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people; to make for Yourself a name by great and awesome deeds, by driving out nations from before Your people whom You redeemed from Egypt? {22} "For You have made Your people Israel Your very own people forever; and You, LORD, have become their God. {23} "And now, O LORD, the word which You have spoken concerning Your servant and concerning his house, let it be established forever, and do as You have said. {24} "So let it be established, that Your name may be magnified forever, saying, 'The LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, is Israel's God.' And let the house of Your servant David be established before You. {25} "For You, O my God, have revealed to Your servant that You will build him a house. Therefore Your servant has found it in his heart to pray before You. {26} "And now, LORD, You are God, and have promised this goodness to Your servant. {27} "Now You have been pleased to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue before You forever; for You have blessed it, O LORD, and it shall be blessed forever." + +### Observation + +David wanted to build God’s temple and told so to Nathan the prophet who encouraged him to do so. That night God told Nathan to tell David not to build Him the temple he intended to. David’s response is our Scripture for today, in the form of a prayer of praise. + +### Application + +I think David’s response was exemplary. He could have become angry or bitter that God wouldn’t want him to build the temple for His honor and glory. He could have argued with God that he had won so many battles for God and for Israel so he should be allowed to build this great monument to God. He could have become bitter and resentful, he could have rebelled, he could have become a stumbling block to the building of the temple, he could have acted like a bad looser or a politician after being voted out of office, or he could have reacted in many other negative ways. + +What I love about this story, and why God said of David he was a man after His own heart (1 Sam. 13:14), is David’s positive, indeed joyful, reaction, which is our text for today. The way I feel is that if we truly believe in God’s will for our lives, and that His will is always best, then if we don’t get what we thought we might, what is offered to us, or even what we hoped we would, instead of becoming bitter or resentful we should praise God and thank Him. Don’t be sour grapes because the job you wanted was given to somebody else, because someone made a higher bid on a house you had made an offer to buy, because somebody else is now dating the person you were hoping to date, or because the person you were dating left you to marry somebody else. Praise God it worked out that way! That means that what God has in store for you is better than what you wanted or though you might get. It may not appear to be so at first, but it is God’s best for you, without a doubt. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, today we echo David’s words of praise for Your will in our lives. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/26-march-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/26-march-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..221cb529ac --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/26-march-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Praise God for His Will +startDate: 03/26/2025 +endDate: 03/26/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/27-march-2025/27-march-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/27-march-2025/27-march-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..0ec3a826c1 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/27-march-2025/27-march-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,69 @@ +--- +title: The Marriage and Divorce Go-round +date: 03/27/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> (2 Chr 11:21 NKJV) Now Rehoboam loved Maachah the granddaughter of Absalom more than all his wives and his concubines; for he took eighteen wives and sixty concubines, and begot twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters. + +### Observation + +Rehoboam was the king of Israel after his father Solomon passed away. This section of the Scriptures tells us that he married a number of women and also had concubines, much like his father, although not as many as Solomon. Among the wives he had, he loved Maachah, granddaughter of her uncle Absalom. As it’s often the case, since she loved Maacah most, he also preferred the son he had with her, Abijah. Rehoboam had other sons, and he placed them all in charge of several of the cities in Israel, but with Abijah he had a special plan for him to be his successor in the throne of Israel one day. + +### Application + +God does not condone polygamy, and in most countries it is illegal. And yet we have come to accept a different form of polygamy – successive marriages, punctuated with divorces in between. As we heard the news of celebrity divorces and remarriages we used to be shocked and ashamed, now it’s become fodder for entertainment. Recently I read a book which contains some interesting facts about marriage. One of them is the number of times some famous people have been or were married. Here’s a sample: + +_**Married Nine Times**_ + +- Pancho Villa +- Zsa Zsa Gabor + +_**Married Eight Times**_ + +- Elizabeth Taylor (twice to the same man) +- Mickey Rooney + +_**Married Seven Times**_ + +- Lana Turner +- Richard Pryor (Four times to two of the women) +- Martha Raye +- Stan Laurel (three times to the same woman) +- Jennifer O’Neil +- Larry King + +_**Married Six Times**_ + +- Johnny Weissmuller +- King Henry VIII +- Jerry Lee Lewis + +_**Married Five Times**_ + +- Ernest Borgnine +- George C. Scott (twice to the same woman) +- George Peppard (twice to the same woman) +- Ginger Rogers +- Eva Gabor +- Judy Garland +- Henry Fonda +- George Foreman +- Tammy Wynette +- Clark Gable +- Richard Burton (twice to the same woman) +- Billy Bob Thornton +- Martin Scorsese + +While some may say that it’s only celebrities that change marriage partners so often, there are others who jump in and out of marriage just as much and as quickly. Certain professions tend to lead to divorce and remarriage more often than others – law enforcement, military, entertainment, etc. + +One of the interesting facts that has come out of research is that each successive marriage after divorce lasts less than the previous. In other words, if the first marriage lasted a number of years, the second will last less than the first, the third marriage will last than the second, the fourth marriage will last than the third, and so on. Instead of finding marital bliss with more successive marriages, many of these people find out they were happier with their first spouse than they were with any of the other that followed them. While there may be some romance and passion for a while on the other marriages and relationships, eventually there settles an emptiness and dissatisfaction which leads to another divorce and a search for fulfillment in yet another relationship when the key to happiness was in the first marriage. + +Rather than entering the marriage and divorce go-round, make every effort to maintain your current relationship strong, look for ways to meet each others’ most important emotional needs, look for the best in each other rather than concentrate on the negative side of the other. Rather than jumping ship on your spouse thinking that someone else can make you happier, look for ways to make your spouse happy, to fulfill with them your marriage vows to live with them in sickness and in health until death do you part. Hopefully you will find more ways and reasons to stay together with your spouse rather than finding out later, two or three spouses later, that what you have now, and which you will never recover if you leave it, was better than anything you have had since. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, we know you don’t accept or condone polygamy and that you hate divorce. Help us to value each other and to cultivate daily a strong marital relationship so we have the most fulfilling experience and at the same time bring the highest honor and glory to You. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/27-march-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/27-march-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..0724e7178a --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/27-march-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: The Marriage and Divorce Go-round +startDate: 03/27/2025 +endDate: 03/27/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/28-march-2025/28-march-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/28-march-2025/28-march-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..edafa2cdba --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/03-march-2025/28-march-2025/28-march-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,24 @@ +--- +title: God's Battle +date: 03/28/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

The people of Judah gathered for the battle, but before they did they sough the Lord and in the midst of that assembly Jahaziel spoke for God to encourage Jehoshaphat and the people – some of his words are the words of our text for today.

Scripture

+> (2 Chr 31:20-21 NKJV) Thus Hezekiah did throughout all Judah, and he did what was good and right and true before the LORD his God. {21} And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, in the law and in the commandment, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart. So he prospered. + +### Observation + +From the time Hezekiah became king of Judah he began a reform of a spiritual nature throughout the nation but also a physical restoration of the temple and its services. Not only did he order the repair of the temple, with everyone’s contribution, but he also destroyed the worship of other gods and moved the people to rededicate themselves and their children to the worship of the true God. + +### Application + +So you hear or read how critically important it is to lead by example in the worship of the Lord, particularly in the life of our children. And you may think that since you have not been doing it – you have not been praying with and for your children, or you have not been having daily worship with them, or you have not been spending time every day studying God’s will, seeking His will or following His commands – so you may feel guilty and maybe tempted to give up and simply continue the same pattern for your and their lives. + +The story of Hezekiah’s reforms can teach us that it is never too late to begin again, it is never too late to make changes in our personal devotional life or in the family worship of our God. So why not begin today. You can talk to your family, confess that you have not been faithful to His commands in that you have not been leading them by example in the worship of God, and share with them that you intend to begin again, and to invite them to join you. Explain that you are making a new commitment to pray with and for them every day, and that you will be studying a portion of the Scriptures, and that you would like to gather with them each day to have family worship time. The honest confession on your part will show them that you’re transparent with them and are willing to show them your human nature, that you’re not perfect but also that you want to do your best under God’s guidance. Don’t let the devil defeat you and continue in the same pattern of disregard for God and His worship. Think of yourself as the Hezekiah of your home, making personal and family reforms in order to bring a revival of the faith to your family. While you may encounter some resistance, if you do it kindly and lovingly, and persevere, the results will be better than continuing to neglect your personal and your family devotional life and daily commitment to God. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, forgive us for neglecting our time and communion with You and for not leading our family in a daily experience of prayer and worship with You.

When our children do well in school and when they are kind and polite, something good moves in our hearts. When someone makes a nice comment about our children, something good stirs inside us and gives us a warm feeling. Would that be “healthy” pride? Could we honestly say we are “proud of our children?” But when we become obsessed with our children’s accomplishments, when we want to display bumper stickers every time our children win an award or get good grades or their name appears on the dean’s list, has it or can it become unhealthy pride?

Scripture

+> (Gen 39:6-10 NKJV) Thus he left all that he had in Joseph's hand, and he did not know what he had except for the bread which he ate. Now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance. {7} And it came to pass after these things that his master's wife cast longing eyes on Joseph, and she said, "Lie with me." {8} But he refused and said to his master's wife, "Look, my master does not know what is with me in the house, and he has committed all that he has to my hand. {9} "There is no one greater in this house than I, nor has he kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?" {10} So it was, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he did not heed her, to lie with her or to be with her. + +### Observation + +Joseph had been sold into captivity by his brothers, but God blessed him and in captivity he proved faithful to his master, Potiphar. The captain’s wife, however, was attracted to Joseph and enticed him to be intimate with her, something Joseph immediately and repeatedly refused on the grounds that he would be offending God and betraying his master’s trust. She became angry, falsely accused him before her husband, and Joseph ended up back in jail as a result. + +### Application + +When a person is bent on sin, nothing seems to deter them. Such was the case with Potiphar’s wife. One commentary explains that, “Egyptian women were not kept in the same secluded manner as females are in most Oriental countries now. They were treated in a manner more worthy of a civilized people—in fact, enjoyed much freedom both at home and abroad. Hence Potiphar’s wife had constant opportunity of meeting Joseph. But the ancient women of Egypt were very loose in their morals. Intrigues and intemperance were vices very prevalent among the them, as the monuments too plainly attest [Wilkinson]. Potiphar’s wife was probably not worse than many of the same rank, and her infamous advances made to Joseph arose from her superiority of station.” + +Matthew Henry comments: 1. Her sin began in the eye: She cast her eyes upon Joseph (v. 7), who was a goodly person, and well-favoured, v. 6. Note, (1.) Remarkable beauty, either of men or women, often proves a dangerous snare both to themselves and others, which forbids pride in it and commands constant watchfulness against the temptation that attends it; favour is deceitful—deceiving. (2.) We have great need to make a covenant with our eyes (Job 31:1), lest the eye infect the heart. Joseph’s mistress had a husband that ought to have been to her for a covering of the eyes from all others, ch. 20:16. + +2\. She was daring and shameless in the sin. With an impudent face, and a harlot’s forehead, she said, Lie with me, having already, by her wanton looks and unchaste desires, committed adultery with him in her heart. Note, Where the unclean spirit gets possession and dominion in a soul, it is as with the possessed of the devils (Lu. 8:27, 29), the clothes of modesty are thrown off and the bands and fetters of shame are broken in pieces. When lust has got head, it will stick at nothing, blush at nothing; decency, and reputation, and conscience, are all sacrificed to that Baal-peor. + +3\. She was urgent and violent in the temptation. Often she had been denied with the strongest reasons, and yet as often renewed her vile solicitations. She spoke to him day by day, v. 10. Now this was, (1.) Great wickedness in her, and showed her heart fully set to do evil. (2.) A great temptation to Joseph. The hand of Satan, no doubt, was in it, who, when he found he could not overcome him with troubles and the frowns of the world (for in them he still held fast his integrity), assaulted him with soft and charming pleasures, which have ruined more than the former, and have slain their ten-thousands. + +Joseph knew the principles which were later written by Solomon: (Prov 6:23-29 NKJV) For the commandment is a lamp, And the law a light; Reproofs of instruction are the way of life, {24} To keep you from the evil woman, From the flattering tongue of a seductress. {25} Do not lust after her beauty in your heart, Nor let her allure you with her eyelids. {26} For by means of a harlot A man is reduced to a crust of bread; And an adulteress will prey upon his precious life. {27} Can a man take fire to his bosom, And his clothes not be burned? {28} Can one walk on hot coals, And his feet not be seared? {29} So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife; Whoever touches her shall not be innocent. + +Had Joseph fallen to the enticement of this woman, the results would have been disastrous to him, to his family suffering under the famine, to the faith of many, for the survival of the people of God’s promise, and God only knows to how many millions or billions. Just a few moments of sin can bring results that last much longer. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, give us the strength to not yield to temptation in any form. Shield our eyes from wondering into any and all dangerous territory. And may we always be faithful to You and to our spouse for the sake and benefit of our families and to maintain Your honor and glory before the universe. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/01-april-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/01-april-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..291feb0e99 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/01-april-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Misleading Eyes +startDate: 04/01/2025 +endDate: 04/01/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/02-april-2025/02-april-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/02-april-2025/02-april-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..5a0bd9d7bd --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/02-april-2025/02-april-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,30 @@ +--- +title: The Gifts of Confession and Prayer +date: 04/02/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. James 5:16 + +### Observation + +James writes a series of instructions to the young Christian church of the first century. His letter is a combination of theological principles (Grace and works), and practical Christianity (prayer for the sick, taking care of the widows and orphans, etc.). + +Today’s verse is taken out of a larger section where James deals with prayer for and anointing the sick. + +### Application + +While James’ advice is for members of the church at large, his words apply to the home and to the couple relationship. When we say or do anything that hurts a member of the family, those closest to us, we need to confess directly to them, and do it as soon as possible before the pain caused festers into anger and even hatred. + +In the devotional “My Life Today” we can read Ellen White’s words: “ I am instructed to urge upon our people most earnestly the necessity of religion in the home. Among the members of the household there is ever to be a kind, thoughtful consideration. Morning and evening let all hearts be united in reverent worship. At the season of evening worship let every member of the family search well his own heart. Let every wrong that has been committed be made right. If during the day, one has wronged another or spoken unkindly, let the transgressor seek pardon of the one he has injured. Often grievances are cherished in the mind, and misunderstandings and heartaches are created that need not be. If the one who is suspected of wrong be given an opportunity, he might be able to make explanations that would bring relief to other members of the family” (ML 32). + +The second part of James’ instruction is to “pray for one another.” While confession should take place when harm has been made, prayer is something that should happen daily. We all need to carve time out of our daily life to pray together as a couple, together as a family, and together with others. We make time to eat, because we are hungry. We make time to rest, because we cannot go non-stop for long periods of time. We make time for reading, to watch TV, to check out Facebook, to talk on the phone, to play, to travel. . . to do anything that we want to do. And yet, it seems as if we can’t find any time to have communion with the One who sustains us, feeds, and provides everything we need for us. At the same time, we don’t seem to want to make time praying together as a couple or as a family, or with others, when prayer strengthens and heals us individually, our family, and our relationships. + +Let’s us, then, confess our sins to one another, forgive one another, and pray for each other. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, thank you that we can talk to You about each other and about those we love and care about. Help us to be humble enough to confess our sins to one another, and help us to make time to pray together and to pray for one another. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/02-april-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/02-april-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..a97c895e8a --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/02-april-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: The Gifts of Confession and Prayer +startDate: 04/02/2025 +endDate: 04/02/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/03-april-2025/03-april-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/03-april-2025/03-april-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..d0b2f9d905 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/03-april-2025/03-april-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,24 @@ +--- +title: Repentance for All +date: 04/03/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> (Neh 1:5-11 NKJV) And I said: "I pray, LORD God of heaven, O great and awesome God, You who keep Your covenant and mercy with those who love You and observe Your commandments, {6} "please let Your ear be attentive and Your eyes open, that You may hear the prayer of Your servant which I pray before You now, day and night, for the children of Israel Your servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel which we have sinned against You. Both my father's house and I have sinned. {7} "We have acted very corruptly against You, and have not kept the commandments, the statutes, nor the ordinances which You commanded Your servant Moses. {8} "Remember, I pray, the word that You commanded Your servant Moses, saying, 'If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the nations; {9} 'but if you return to Me, and keep My commandments and do them, though some of you were cast out to the farthest part of the heavens, yet I will gather them from there, and bring them to the place which I have chosen as a dwelling for My name.' {10} "Now these are Your servants and Your people, whom You have redeemed by Your great power, and by Your strong hand. {11} "O Lord, I pray, please let Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant, and to the prayer of Your servants who desire to fear Your name; and let Your servant prosper this day, I pray, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man." For I was the king's cupbearer. + +### Observation + +Nehemiah was saddened to know the ruined condition of Jerusalem and Judah, and he recognized that it was the result of the people’s rebelliousness against God. So he prays the prayer in our text for today. + +### Application + +Nehemiah could have prayed for deliverance for himself and his family, but instead, he recognized all of them needed to repent. At the same time, he could have prayed for forgiveness only for the people, but he was humble enough to pray for the people but also for himself. + +It is interesting how at times we pray for our loved ones, which we should do, and ask God to lead them closer to Him, and to bring them to repentance and to the place where they will be ready for His soon return. But somehow we don’t always come humbly before the Lord in recognition of our own need for repentance, knowledge of God, and preparation for His return. Nehemiah prayed for his people, but humbly also prayed and confessed his own sin. And the wonderful thing is that God heard his plea and granted his prayer and Nehemiah was able to go back and lead in the rebuilding of the city and the reestablishment of the worship of God. Maybe our prayers will be the catalyst for a complete revival in our lives and in our homes, maybe even beyond to our churches and to the area where we live. . . and it all begins with being humble enough to recognize our own need for repentance and forgiveness. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, we too have sinned and have turned our backs to you.

Scripture

+> (Neh 8:8 NKJV) So they read distinctly from the book, in the Law of God; and they gave the sense, and helped them to understand the reading. + +### Observation + +As the building of the city of Jerusalem and of the temple were finished, Nehemiah and the leaders recognized the need for a consecration of the people to God. Ezra, the scribe, stood before everyone gathered and read to them the words of the Book of the Law of Moses, the first five books of the Bible, or the Torah. As the people heard the stories and the regulations found in those books, they were moved in their hearts. But it wasn’t enough to just read the Law, the Levites helped the people to understand it by explaining its content and meaning. + +### Application + +I encourage daily, regular reading of the Bible personally and at home. Personally, I encourage everyone to read through their Bibles every year. I have followed that practice for many years and have read through the entire Bible, in many different versions and translations, in two languages, every day of the year (with just a few exceptions), and doing so has enriched my life and opened windows of information, knowledge, and faith I might not otherwise have. + +Beyond a reading of the Bible, though, there must be thoughtful study of selected passages, stories, sections of the Scriptures for deeper understanding. Also, for daily family worship, at least a portion of the Scriptures should be read and discussed. It doesn’t have to be a long theological dissertation and exegetical study of a passage, but at least a simple conversation of its meaning. Dennis Raney, Christian counselor and writer says concerning our verse for today: + +It occurred to me that when we read the Bible to our families, we need to do so in a way so that we understand what we have just read, and that our children also grasp the meaning. + +It’s easy to stick to the text of the Scripture and read it word for word, flying by words like reproach and exhortation – lofty words that may (or may not) be clear to us, but which leave our kids with blank looks on their faces. + +When we read the Bible to your children, take the time to stop and explain the words and ideas they may have difficulty grasping. If needed, try paraphrasing the text to give them a down-home explanation of what it’s saying. Give them the freedom o stop you and ask what something means if they feel confused or stuck. + +Reading and studying the Bible as a family can be a source of great blessing.

Scripture

+> (Jer 13:19 NKJV) The cities of the South shall be shut up, And no one shall open them; Judah shall be carried away captive, all of it; It shall be wholly carried away captive. + +### Observation + +The walls, the city, and the temple had been rebuilt, and the Law of Moses (the Torah) had been read and explained to the people who had made a new dedication of themselves to the worship of God. Now Nehemiah faced a new challenge as venders were coming to Jerusalem to sell their wares on Sabbath. Even though he had warned them before, they had continued to do so, so this time he ordered that the gates of the city be shut during the hours of the Sabbath and threaten to have them beaten if they continued to come to tempt the people by trying to sell their stuff. + +### Application + +We have heard of “guarding the edges of the Sabbath.” Some of the most quoted words from the pen of Ellen White are: “We should jealously guard the edges of the Sabbath. Remember that every moment is consecrated, holy time.” (The Faith I live By, pg. 34) By the edges of the Sabbath we mean the beginning and the end of this special day, sundown on Friday evening to sundown on Saturday afternoon. I would not suggest we threaten our family, or anyone else, with bodily harm if they come to our house to sell something on the Sabbath or if our children are doing something that is not conducive to good Sabbath rest and fellowship. However, as parents we do have the responsibility to do all in our power to ensure that the sacred hours of the Sabbath remain untainted by outside influences. + +As our girls were growing up, we switched to “Sabbath toys,” and “Sabbath music,” and “Sabbath activities,” and we enjoyed a good time of worship to “welcome the Sabbath.” We incorporated a few traditions like the lighting of the Sabbath candles (a Jewish tradition), had Mexican tostadas, and for dessert we had donuts (you know, the commandment says to keep the Sabbath “wholey”). In the more conservative Jewish households the observance of Sabbath begins about an hour before sundown as they try to protect themselves for entering carelessly into those sacred hours. + +The other edge of the Sabbath, the sundown that marks its end, should also be marked with worship, and with a good time of family fellowship and prayer. There’s no need to rush “out” of the Sabbath. Again, Jewish tradition teaches that the Sabbath is finally over when at least three stars are visible in the sky. What that means is that there should be no rush to end this day but rather linger in its blessings as long as possible. In fact, there’s a certain sense of sadness to see the Sabbath come to an end as the new week begins. + +The point is not to make of the Sabbath a day of rules, regulations, and prohibitions which turns it into the longest, most boring, 24 hours of the week. Maybe we could think of the gates not as something to keep negative influences out of your life but as something that helps keep the blessings in and when we keep them open the blessings of this day flow out, away from us, even as we need them so desperately after a week of battling the world and its influences. Guarding the edges of the Sabbath is like closing doors and windows in the winter months in order to keep the warmth of the home inside and the bitter cold of winter outside. I love the feeling, during the cold winter months (specially here in Minnesota), of coming home and walking in from the cold garage into the warmth of the foyer. The warmth of my house greets me as I open the door and embraces me until the next time I have to go out. And that’s how I picture the Sabbath, its warmth embracing me and protecting me from the bitter cold of the rest of the week. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, thank You for the warmth and the rest of the Sabbath. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/05-april-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/05-april-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..744d47946e --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/05-april-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Guarding the Gates +startDate: 04/05/2025 +endDate: 04/05/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/06-april-2025/06-april-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/06-april-2025/06-april-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..7ba3fc99aa --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/06-april-2025/06-april-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,30 @@ +--- +title: Selfish Demands +date: 04/06/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

A Bible commentary states that, “The refusal of Vashti to obey an order which required her to make an indecent exposure of herself before a company of drunken revellers, was becoming both the modesty of her sex and her rank as queen; for, according to Persian customs, the queen, even more than the wives of other men, was secluded from the public gaze. Had not the king’s blood been heated with wine, or his reason overpowered by force of offended pride, he would have perceived that his own honor, as well as hers, was consulted by her dignified conduct.” + +In her devotional, Conflict and Courage, Ellen White adds, “When this command came from the king, Vashti did not carry out his orders, because she knew that wine had been freely used, and that Ahasuerus was under the influence of the intoxicating liquor. For her husband’s sake as well as her own, she decided not to leave her position at the head of the women of the court. + +“It was when the king was not himself, when his reason was dethroned by wine-drinking that he sent for the queen, that those present at his feast, men besotted by wine, might gaze on her beauty. She acted in harmony with a pure conscience. + +“Vashti refused to obey the king’s command, thinking that when he came to himself, he would commend her course of action. But the king had unwise advisers. They argued it would be a power given to woman that would be to her injury.” {p.243} + +### Application + +Willard Harley, in his book, Love Busters, speaks uses that term to refer to those things that one spouse does to hurt the other and which therefore damages the romantic and caring love that should exist between them. Among those Love Busters, Harley cites Selfish Demands as one of them. He defines them as “Commanding your spouse to do things that would benefit you at your spouses expense, with implied threat of punishment if refused.” Then he goes on to say that “People who make demands don’t seem to care how others feel. If you make demands of your spouse and expect obedience, you are being controlling and manipulative. Demands are nothing short of abuse.” Instead of selfish demands, Harley suggests Thoughtful Requests – respectfully explaining to your spouse what you would like and allow your spouse the option of granting or denying your request. + +Vashti’s response to the selfish demand of her husband, even if he was the king, shows that she was not pleased anymore than any spouse today would be at the selfish demands of their spouse. A thoughtful request would have a more positive reception, although it doesn’t mean the spouse has to agree, accept, or do what their spouse is asking of them. In other words, a thoughtful request may not get you what you want, but a selfish demand certainly will not promote any warm, caring feelings toward you. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, selfishness and rebellion began the biggest battle ever in the universe; may they never be present in our marriage or family. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/06-april-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/06-april-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..96fd554298 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/06-april-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Selfish Demands +startDate: 04/06/2025 +endDate: 04/06/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/07-april-2025/07-april-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/07-april-2025/07-april-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..4ba1b4adc7 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/07-april-2025/07-april-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,24 @@ +--- +title: The Way to a Man's Heart? +date: 04/07/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> (Est 7:1-2 NKJV) So the king and Haman went to dine with Queen Esther. {2} And on the second day, at the banquet of wine, the king again said to Esther, "What is your petition, Queen Esther? It shall be granted you. And what is your request, up to half the kingdom? It shall be done!" + +### Observation + +Esther was made aware of Haman’s plan to destroy the Jewish people, and after a period of fasting and prayer she invited the king, her husband to a banquet. After that banquet, she invited him to a second banquet the following night. It was at that banquet, when he was very pleased with the food, and with Esther, that she made her request on behalf of her people. + +### Application + +It’s been said that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. One of the things I appreciate about my wife is that since we were young and dating, she made efforts to learn from my mother how to cook those things that I like best. I have to say that she not only learned how to fix some very typical Colombian food, but learned to made them very well. Pretty regularly she will fix for me one of those special dishes which not only take care of my appetite but also warm my heart. + +At the same time, if a woman thinks that just by feeding her husband he will love her, she’s going to find herself with a very overweight man that simply likes to have a cook living with him. It is not that men like to eat and want to have a woman to cook for them. What men like is to have a woman who loves them enough to cook for and take care of them. Statistics show that married people enjoy better health. Single men are notorious for poor health habits. Married men enjoy the benefit of a wife who cares about them, fixes healthy meals for them, encourages them to take good care of themselves by exercising, going to the doctors for regular physical, eye, and dental exams. So really, a way to a man’s heart is not through his stomach, rather, the way to a man’s heart is through her heart. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, thank you for the love of a wife, expressed through good food, but also expressed through loving, caring actions for her husband. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/07-april-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/07-april-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..a301d2c0c1 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/07-april-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: The Way to a Man's Heart? +startDate: 04/07/2025 +endDate: 04/07/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/08-april-2025/08-april-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/08-april-2025/08-april-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..734f54f63d --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/08-april-2025/08-april-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,24 @@ +--- +title: Forgive Your Family +date: 04/08/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> And to Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On, bore to him. 51Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: “For God has made me forget all my toil and all my father’s house.” 52And the name of the second he called Ephraim: “For God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.” Genesis 41:50-52 + +### Observation + +After Joseph gave Pharaoh what God meant for him to know about the future of Egypt, Pharaoh elevated Joseph to second in the kingdom. It was at this time, and as a result of that famine, that Jacob sent ten of his sons, except for Benjamin, to find food to ensure the survival of his family. Joseph recognized them immediately, and tested them to see if they maintained or abandoned their feelings of rivalry and jealousy amongst themselves. It is in the midst of this story that we learn the Pharaoh gave a wife to Joseph and that Joseph had two sons through her, sons whose names reflect Joseph’s emotional journey from member of the family, to slave, to second in the kingdom, and now seeing his family again. This is not just a physical journey but also a very heavy emotional and spiritual one which led him to experience not only the love of his father and the hatred of his brothers, but lust from Potiphar’s wife, which caused his second imprisonment, to being loved as a child by Pharaoh. In more ways than one, this was also a journey Joseph needed to take, a journey of forgiveness. + +### Application + +Louis Smedes speaks of forgiveness as a journey which involves several steps including hurt, hatred, and finally healing. Joseph was obviously hurt by the feelings and actions of his brothers, and later Potiphar’s wife and the Pharaoh’s butler in forgetting him in prison. While we’re not told, Joseph’s hurt feelings might have caused some anger at some point in time, whether he voiced it or not. But he didn’t allow those feelings to linger long and by the time he has children he has completed this journey and the names of his children reflect the healing that has taken place. + +In marriage, in families, forgiveness must be an integral part because conflict is inevitable and will cause hurt at some point or another. The difference between a relationship that survives and one that breaks apart is the ability to go through this journey of forgiveness so that healing may take place and thus the healthy intimacy may be restored and the relationship may flourish and thrive into the next generations. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, help us to take this journey of forgiveness as soon after any hurt takes place so that our relationships may not suffer but that healing and growth may happen quickly and we may return to the intimacy You designed for us to have at home. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/08-april-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/08-april-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..28732f6ddf --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/08-april-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Forgive Your Family +startDate: 04/08/2025 +endDate: 04/08/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/09-april-2025/09-april-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/09-april-2025/09-april-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..1a084e1f0a --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/09-april-2025/09-april-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,58 @@ +--- +title: The Option of Adoption +date: 04/09/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world. 4 But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. 6 And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, "Abba, Father!" 7 Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. Galatians 4:3-7 + +### Observation + +Paul speaks of the timely arrival of Jesus to redeem God’s people from the slavery of sin. Jesus came at the right time, that is, at the time the prophecies foretold of His arrival (see Daniel 9). For more than 400 years, the Hebrews had been salves in Egypt, but God sent Moses to lead them out to freedom and to the promised land. In the same way, Jesus came to pay the price of redemption and lead His people our of the slavery of sin and to the Promised Land of eternal life. + +### Application + +Many years ago, as I was doing my internship at a counseling center, my supervisor told me one day of a conversation he had with is daughter. He told her, “If there were 100 children standing against a wall, and you were one of them, and I was asked to choose any of those children to be mine. . . I would still choose you.” Now, his daughter was not adopted, but he wanted to assure her that even though she was biologically born to him and his wife, they were not simply obligated or force to keep her but rather they loved her and were thrilled to have her in their lives. + +Children of adoption have a special place in the heart of the parents who adopted them. They were chosen by their parents. They could have been chosen by somebody else or they might have been raised in an orphanage or in foster homes; instead, they were chosen to live in a home, a family, raised by loving parents. At some point in their lives they may wonder why their biological parents didn’t want them or didn’t raise them - that is normal and nothing to be feared. + +One of the questions we are sometimes asked is when the children should be told they are adopted. The consensus among experts is that children should be told as they grow up as part of their normal life and experience. As long as they are always surrounded with the love of their parents, their adoption will not be a shock to them. They can be taught of the great joy and privilege of having been chosen and raised by two very special people who wanted to have children to love. + +Here’s some valuable information from www.healthychildren.org + +For some parents, telling their child that he is adopted is a formidable, anxiety-provoking task, and thus they put it off or avoid it. However, at some point adopted youngsters need to be told about their origins, ideally even before middle childhood. During their preschool years, children begin asking questions like "Where do babies come from?" That is a good time to begin introducing information about their special backgrounds. + +What should you say? Make your explanation simple, direct, and honest. Explain that he was not born to you. Tell him that he was born to other parents who could not take care of him. Then describe why you chose to adopt a child. Talk about how much you and your spouse wanted him, and briefly explain the process you went through to get him. + +Allow your child to ask questions. For example, he might want to know "What happened to my first mommy and daddy? Where are they?" You can share a little bit of that information with him, but there is no need to go into too much detail. Your comments should answer his questions in ways appropriate for his maturity level. At the time of the adoption you should have been given some basic information about your child's biological parents—from medical issues (a family history of heart disease, for example) to personal characteristics. (Was the father tall and athletic? Was the mother artistic?) Someday you will want to pass along all of this information to your youngster. One useful way to address all kinds of adoption questions is with a "life-book," a scrapbook of all of the information you have about his past. This can be very helpful to a child with a complicated past of multiple moves. This book can be "read" in more detail to the child as he matures. + +If your child is already of school age and has not been told that he is adopted, you need to talk with him about it, as early during this time of life as possible. Adoption should not be a secret. Every youngster needs to have an honest understanding of his origin. Adopted children who have not been told seem to sense that somehow they are different; this nagging intuition can influence their self-image. The longer you wait, the harder it will be to discuss it with your child. Also, he is liable to find out from someone else—perhaps by overhearing the conversations of relatives, or from teasing by neighborhood children who have learned from their own parents that he is adopted. + +If you have waited until the middle years of childhood to tell your youngster that he is adopted, he may be upset, but that is a natural reaction. Allow him to express his feelings. Talk about why he is sad or angry, and let him know that you acknowledge and understand those feelings. Remind him that you and your spouse love him, that this is his family and always will be. + +Often parents who are reluctant to tell their youngster about the adoption may have difficulties of their own in accepting that their son or daughter is not their biological child. Sometimes they might feel ashamed or inadequate because they could not have children of their own, and they avoid explaining the adoption to their youngster so that they will not have to revisit that issue. + +Sometimes parents are hesitant to talk about the adoption because they are trying to be protective of their child's feelings, sensing that he might be hurt at finding out he was adopted. They might also be afraid of being rejected by their adopted youngster. They might think, "What if my son says, 'I don't want to live with you anymore; I want to go live with my real mommy'?" That, however, is an uncommon reaction, and not one that children are really serious about pursuing. + +Keep in mind that it is important for the child to know about his adoption by the time he enters school. Your honest communication about this important issue early on can strengthen the relationship you have with him, building a strong bond of trust. So if you have any apprehensions about telling your child, try getting beyond them. + +After you've told your child, he will have more questions about it in the days, weeks, and years ahead. His questions are normal and do not reflect a lack of affection toward you. The more your child talks about it with you, the more comfortable he will feel with the idea, and the stronger his relationship will become with you. + +Your answers to these questions should be direct but still sensitive to the emotional maturity level of your youngster, and what he has already learned and understands about the adoption. Do not dismiss these questions and concerns, but do not overreact to them either. Acknowledge the fact that his family situation is different from that of many or most of his friends. At the same time, do not magnify the significance of his special circumstances, nor dwell upon them. Your child's basic needs are the same, regardless of whether he is living with biological or adoptive parents, and most aspects of his life will be the same as those of his peers. + +If your child becomes quiet about the adoption after you have talked about it, give him some time alone with his thoughts. Then, if he hasn't raised the issue again within a few weeks, you might say something like "Since we talked about the adoption, you haven't said anything more about it. You must have some feelings about it. Do you ever think about your other mommy and daddy? Do you have any other questions you want to ask me?" Make sure he feels as comfortable as possible with the way he became part of your family. + +You should not leave it to your child to continue the conversation. Raise issues naturally and gently. For example, at his birthday you might say, "I wonder if your birth mom is thinking about you today? She would be proud if she knew you." Another time you might comment on a physical characteristic, as in, "I bet those broad shoulders came from your birth dad. I remember when I met him..." + +There are some normal stages through which your adopted child is likely to pass. During the ages of five to seven years, for example, he may understand that he has "two mothers" and "two fathers," but the social customs and the full meaning of adoption are probably still a bit unclear. He is likely to ask questions about why his birth mother did not keep him. And he may have anxiety-generating thoughts like "Since my first mother left me, maybe my second one might too." + +When your adopted child is a little older—between the ages of seven to nine years old—he will develop a better understanding of being adopted. You can expect to be asked specific questions about his biological parents. In a sense, he will be trying to construct a more accurate "memory" of his original family, which of course is really just a fantasy about his first mother and father and how he came to be adopted. + +Later in the middle years—during ages nine through twelve—all children, including those who are adopted, become increasingly concerned with their appearance and fitting in. Your adopted youngster may become more curious about and sensitive to differences in his own hair color or eye color if it differs from your own. He will also become even more interested in his biological parents, and what his original cultural origins may have been. Expect many more questions about both his biological and adoptive relatives, and his family tree. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, thank You for creating us, and thank You that through Jesus you have given us the adoption as children who have left You and turn our backs on You, but yet You have taken us back with full rights and privileges as Your children. Help us to extend the same kind of love to others, who are also Your children. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/09-april-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/09-april-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..9063e0e339 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/09-april-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: The Option of Adoption +startDate: 04/09/2025 +endDate: 04/09/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/10-april-2025/10-april-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/10-april-2025/10-april-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..e35ca4ef09 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/10-april-2025/10-april-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,24 @@ +--- +title: Come Mourn With Me +date: 04/10/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> (Job 2:11,13 NKJV) Now when Job's three friends heard of all this adversity that had come upon him, each one came from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. For they had made an appointment together to come and mourn with him, and to comfort him. . . 13So they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his grief was very great. + +### Observation + +Job had lost everything he owned, but his worst tragedy was the loss of all his children. When he became physically ill, his wife had had enough and told him to “curse God and die.” But then we read that his friends came to be with him and to comfort him, and they sat with him for seven days straight, without saying a word, just being there. + +### Application + +One of the most tragic results from the death of a child is the demise of the marriage. Many couples simply can’t handle their pain and end up drifting apart and eventually separating and divorcing. It is very difficult to offer support and encouragement to your spouse when your own heart is breaking. At the same time, nothing can bring a couple together like experiencing a loss and growing together out of it. My wife and I have gone through the loss of my mother and both her parents, and several other family members. Those times, as difficult as they have been, have strengthened our relationship and are part of our history that keeps us together. + +But there are times when we need help from outside too, and the tragic death of a loved one is a perfect time to offer or receive the comfort and encouragement of a dear, close friend. One of the questions many people have in their minds when visiting someone who’s lost a loved one is, what should I say? Job’s friends teach is a very important lesson: when visiting a grieving friend it is more important to just be there and listen than what you say. After all, what can you possibly say that would take their pain away, or make their burden any easier? But what is very therapeutic and very cathartic for them is to talk through their pain and what better person to do so but a close friend. Someone said that “pain shared is pain divided,” which means that when we share our pain with others, we all get to carry it together, which makes it easier and lighter for the one experiencing it. That’s why being there for the mourner is your gift to them, the ministry of presence. Don’t be afraid to be with those in mourning; it may be the best, most kind, and most loving thing you can do for your friend or loved one. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, in the midst of our pain, you listen to us and come close to us to comfort us.

+> (Job 7:11 NKJV) "Therefore I will not restrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul. + +### Observation + +Job’s friends came to visit him and or seven days said nothing but simply sat there with him – that’s what we call the ministry of presence. But Job’s pain was so heavy that he grieved out loud. His friends, one at a time, began to try to console him while at the same time trying to convince him of his own wrongdoing which resulted in his own problems. Job then responds with his own defense and talks more about his own pain. + +### Application + +Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, who wrote the classic book “On Death and Dying,” followed it up with another classic, “On Grief and Grieving,” in which she speaks of, among other things, “The Inner World Of Grief.” Among other things she writes: + +Everyone experiences many loses throughout life, but the death of a loved one is unmatched for its emptiness and profound sadness. Your world stops. You know the exact time your loved one died – or the exact moment you were told. It is marked in your mind. Your world takes on a slowness, a surrealness. It seems strange that the clocks in the world continue when your inner clock does not. (29) + +No one can give you words to make you feel better; there are none. (29) + +Your loss and the grief that accompanies it are very personal, different from anyone else’s. Others may share the experience of their losses. They may try to console you in the only way they know. But your loss stands in its meaning to you, in its painful uniqueness. (29) + +We all play roles in our lives: spouse, parent, child, family member, friend. You know your loved one in a way that no one else ever did or ever will. One person’s dying touches many people in many different ways; everyone feels that loss of individually. Your task in your own mourning and grieving is to fully recognize your own loss, to see it as only you can. In paying the respect and taking the time it deserves, you bring integrity to the deep loss that is yours. (30-31) + +She lists some of the experiences that form part of the task of grieving. I’d like to mention and quote her in one of them: TEARS + +Tears are one of the many ways we release our sadness, one of our many wondrous built-in healing mechanisms. Unfortunately, too often we try to stop this necessary and primal release of our emotions.(42) + +People. . . avoid crying for fear that they might cry forever. But of course you will stop crying, even if you don’t believe you will. The worst thing you can do is to stop short of really letting it out. Uncried tears have a way of filling the well of sadness even more deeply. If you have a half hour of crying to do, don’t stop at twenty minutes. Let yourself cry it all out. It will stop on its own. If you cry till your last tear, you will feel released. (43) + +We live in a society that view tears as a weakness and a face of stone as strength. Whether you cry or not may have more to do with how you were raised than with the nature of your loss. Some of us were raised with permission to cry and others were not. For some, crying privately may be okay and crying publicly is unacceptable. Whatever you were taught, the loss of a loved one can tip the scales and bring up the tears you never thought you could cry. (44) + +At times, you may start to cry as if for no reason at all. It may seem it just comes out of the blue, because you are not even consciously thinking about your loss. Unexpected tears remind you that the loss is always there. People often find they are reminded unexpectedly of a loved one and start crying in a situation they were not prepared to handle. (45) + +Marion knew the importance of taking the pain inside and releasing it outside. Then she was done when her sadness was fully expressed. Unexpressed tears do not go away; their sadness resides in our bodies and souls. Tears can often be seen as dramatic, too emotional, or a sign of weakness. But in truth, they are an outward expression of inner pain. (45) + +Others have their own reactions to seeing someone crying. For those around the person crying, people may feel grateful the person is able to cry. Or they may feel uncomfortable, thinking, “If they cry, I might.” Or “If Cindy, who never cries at anything, is crying, things must be really bad.” (45) + +Our perception about crying is public is cultural. In some places, not crying is a sign of dignity, whereas in other cultures, not crying for the deceased is considered a sign of dishonor. (46) + +Tears are a symbol of life, a part of who we are and what we feel. They live in us and through us. They represent us and reside in our pain. This symbol and representation of sadness can appear anytime. Since it is so tied to life itself, we are often surprised when laughter breaks spontaneously through tears. (46) + +The humanity we witness often causes us to laugh at ourselves, but never mistake laughing through tears as a reason to feel guilty. It is the life we have, mixed with the sadness we feel. It is a fail-safe mechanism we have for managing the pain. (46) + +“Everyone has to grab their own tissues.” – when someone hands them a box of tissues – while this may be an act of comfort, it often sends the message “hurry and stop crying.” Also, if we go into the role of caretaker, we avoid our own emotions. (46) + +The truth is that tears are a symbol of life and can be trusted. (46) + +Acceptance of death is part of the work that must be done if we are to grieve fully. If crying is part of our outer culture or inner sadness and we have tears to cry, then we should use this wonderful gift of healing without hesitation.

Scripture

+> (Job 10:1 NKJV) "My soul loathes my life; I will give free course to my complaint, I will speak in the bitterness of my soul. + +### Observation + +Bildad, the Shuhite, one of Job’s friends who came to be with him in his sorrow, attempted to “correct” Job and to show him where he was wrong. Job responds from the depths of his pain. + +### Application + +In talking about “The Inner World of Grief,” Elizabeth Kubler-Ross encourages those in bereavement to talk about their grief and to talk about their loss and their loved one who is no longer with them. I will quote her words: THE STORY + +When your loved one became sick, there were medical visits, case histories, and physical tests. Then they found the lump and your world immediately began to change. (62) + +Now you sit alone remembering the story of your loss. You may find yourself retelling the story to friends and family. Immediately following the loss, everyone wants to know how it happened. You tell your tale through your sadness and tears. You talk about it after the funeral. When friends come to visit, you discuss the parts of the story you continue to grapple with, like “I didn’t see it coming,” or “They told us she was sick, but none of us realized just how sick she was.” (62) + +As time passes, however, you may see others grow weary of hearing the story, although you are not yet tired of telling it. You may not consciously notice this, but when you encounter people who haven’t heard it you are grateful to have their ear. (62) + +Telling the story is part of the healing of a traumatic event, no different from the trauma of large-scale disaster. (62) + +While you try to comprehend and make sense of something incomprehensible and your heart feels the pain of loss, your mind lags behind, trying to integrate something new into your psyche. It is something that moved too fast for your mind to understand. The pain is in your heart, while your mind lingers in the facts of the story, reenacting and recalling the scene of the crime against your heart. Your heart and mind are joined in one state, pain remembering pain. (63) + +Telling the story helps to dissipate the pain. Telling your story often and in detail is primal to the grieving process. You must get it out. Grief must be witnessed to be healed. Grief shared is grief abated. Support and bereavement groups are important, not only because they allow you to be with others who have experienced loss, but because they provide another forum for talking about the devastating events that befell your world. Tell your tale, because it reinforces that your loss mattered. (63) + +You will find the story changing over time; not necessarily what happened, but what part you focus on. Telling the story may also offer the opportunity for important feedback or information, as the listener may have missing pieces of the puzzle or insight you previously lack. (63) + +The stories we tell give meaning to the fact that our loved one died, which is why, in American Indian cultures, stories are given the highest priority. In fact, the function of the elderly is to tell the stories of the lives and deaths of the ancestors, the stories that keep their history alive. (64) + +Our stories contain an enormous amount of pain, sometimes too much for one person to handle. In sharing our story, we dissipate the pain little by little, giving a small drop to those we meet to disperse it along the way. (65) + +Sometimes a loss is so great, you need a larger platform. Sometimes people create videos, write stories about books. (65) + +Some speak about their losses to groups. (66) + +When someone is telling you their story over and over, they are trying to figure something out. There has to be a missing piece or they too would be bored. Rather than rolling your eyes and saying “there she goes again,” ask questions about parts that don’t connect. Be the witness and even the guide. Look for what they want to know. (66) + +When I worked or volunteered as a Hospice Chaplain, and later as a Grief and Bereavement Counselor, I reminded my families or clients what I once heard, that Pain Shared Is Pain Divided. When we talk about our loss, our pain, our loved ones, we are sharing the load with others who are stronger than we are at that point and who, hopefully, by listening can help us carry that heavy load until we are able to stand again on our own. + +I have been asked often by people who want to help their friends or loved ones who are terminally ill or who have experienced a loss (a relative, their job, their house, etc.) what they should say to them. They’re afraid to go visit their friend or loved one because, “I just don’t know what to say.” What I always tell them is, “The best thing you can do for them is not what you say but that you are willing to just listen.” + +Bildad, Job’s friend, got many things wrong, both about Job and about God. But the one thing he did get right were his words: “He will yet fill your mouth with laughing, And your lips with rejoicing” (Job 8:21 NKJV). There will be a time when your friends or loved ones are ready to listen to words of encouragement and hope, and they will appreciate you reminding them that death is not forever, that grief and pain are not forever, but that one day death, pain, and suffering will come to a permanent end. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, thank You that while we experience pain in this life, it too will come to an end when Jesus comes. May He return soon so we can enjoy the peace and the happiness You intended from the beginning. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/12-april-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/12-april-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..1430a811f2 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/12-april-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Talk Grief Away +startDate: 04/12/2025 +endDate: 04/12/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/13-april-2025/13-april-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/13-april-2025/13-april-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..cdf1958984 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/13-april-2025/13-april-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,54 @@ +--- +title: Better than Saying Anything +date: 04/13/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> (Job 14:12-15 NKJV) So man lies down and does not rise. Till the heavens are no more, They will not awake Nor be roused from their sleep. {13} "Oh, that You would hide me in the grave, That You would conceal me until Your wrath is past, That You would appoint me a set time, and remember me! {14} If a man dies, shall he live again? All the days of my hard service I will wait, Till my change comes. {15} You shall call, and I will answer You; You shall desire the work of Your hands. + +### Observation + +It is now time for Zophar, the third of Job’s consolation friends, to try to straighten him up. Job responds to his accusations by declaring that he feels there’s nothing he could do to fight God, if God were angry with Him. In chapter 13, verses 20-27 we can read his stirring, heart-felt prayer to God, opening his heart to Him. And then in chapter 14, he expounds as to his understanding of what happens when a person dies; here are a few examples of his theology of the state of the dead: + +10 But man dies and is laid away; Indeed he breathes his last And where is he? + +11 As water disappears from the sea, And a river becomes parched and dries up, + +12 So man lies down and does not rise. Till the heavens are no more, They will not awake Nor be roused from their sleep. + +21 His sons come to honor, and he does not know it; They are brought low, and he does not perceive it. + +He also expresses His hope in God and for the salvation He offers us all: My transgression is sealed up in a bag, And You cover my iniquity.(v.17) + +### Application + +It’s amazing how well-intentioned, yet heartless, Job’s friends are. They see their friend suffering through all of his losses, and yet instead of helping him through these tragedies, they assume the judgmental stand that wants to set people right and they set out to prove to Job that all he’s experiencing is the result of his own sin, and he would only repent, God might just forgive him. Their accusations do not bring any consolation to Job. In the same way, well-intentioned friends and relatives feel compelled to say something to their loved ones or friends who are terminally ill or who have lost a loved one, and at times use old cliches or explanations that do nothing to alleviate the pain. The result may be more pain, more confusion, or if they are fortunate enough, they may not even remember what has been said. When you think of it, no explanation, no matter how good or theologically correct it may be, can take away a person’s pain. What good is it to say to a mother who’s lost their child in a tragic accident, “God has a plan for you”? Or how does it help someone dying of a terminal illness, “I know how you feel”? Or how can it possibly help your widowed friend to hear the words, “One day you may find somebody else who’ll make you happy again”? + +Several years ago I wrote an article which was published by the Adventist Review giving practical steps to take to help a friend or loved one who is dying of a terminal illness. Here are the suggestions I offered: + +1. The ministry of presence. Most people feel uncomfortable, maybe even afraid, to talk about death and dying. Therefore, when they hear that a friend, loved one, coworker, or schoolmate has been diagnosed with a terminal illness, they stay away. In reality, what you say is not what matters to the terminally ill person or their family, but rather the fact that you cared enough to come be with them. However, respect their privacy and always call beforehand. If they are in a hospital, you must not only respect visiting hours but also be conscious of the fact that those visiting hours may be the only time the family gets to spend with their loved ones. Make your visits brief. + +2. Listen. More important than what you say is how much you listen. While most people's greatest fear is not knowing what to say, if you go prepared to listen and let the terminally ill lead in the conversation, you might find that death is not all that's on their mind. They just want someone to talk to. + +3. Empathize, don't proselytize. If the person who is dying does not share your beliefs, this is not the time to try to convert them to your belief system; to do so may cause more anxiety than assurance. For instance, several of my patients talked about going to heaven after their death. Rather than lecturing on the state of the dead, I would say something like "As Christians we have a special hope, don't we?" or "That's a comforting thought, isn't it?" + +4. Offer practical help. Many people take the easy way out at the end of a visit with the standard offer "If there's anything I can do, just let me know." The reality is that during these difficult times the challenge for the patient includes thinking about what needs to be done or asking someone to do it. It would be better to offer to do specific things for them--mow the lawn, wash clothes, or run errands such as grocery shopping. Sometimes an offer to stay with the person who is ill to relieve the caregiver for a few hours can be the welcome help they need. + +5. Watch for special events. People who are terminally ill seem to have control over when, where, and how they die. One of my patients waited until the day after his daughter's birthday, and the night he died he was so restless that his wife decided to sleep in the living room. When she woke up the next morning, he was dead. He had chosen not to die before or on his daughter's birthday, and he didn't want his wife to see him die. Others wait for loved ones' or their own birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, baptisms, weddings, and other special occasions. Be aware of this fact as it may help you get an idea of when they might die. + +6. Fear of dying or of death. One of my patients told me he was afraid. I asked him if he was afraid of death or of dying. He said, "I'm not afraid of death; I just don't want to die in pain." Most people are afraid of the dying process, and not of death itself. In his case I assured him that we in hospice would do all in our power to keep him comfortable and without pain or discomfort. That assurance helped him relax and enjoy the last few days of his life. If the person you're visiting expresses such fears, clarify what the source of their fear is, and if they are uncomfortable or unable to answer, ask someone else who may be better able to answer. + +7. Help them to die in peace. In hospice we have learned that those patients who struggle the most in their dying process seem to be the ones who have strained relationships with someone. It may help them to ask, "Is there someone you would like to see or talk to?" Offer to contact the person they'd like to speak with. If the other person is not willing to speak with the terminally ill patient, you can facilitate the expression of their feelings by offering options such as, "If you could talk to them, what would you tell them?" You may offer to help them write a letter that they can then choose to mail or burn, thus symbolizing their having taken the step of reconciliation. Many patients wait to die until after they see someone they care about, so you could offer to help make the contact. + +Another way to help them die in peace is to pray for and with them. The medical field has come to recognize the benefits of praying for those who are ill. We need not feel the obligation to pray for healing; it does not reveal a lack of faith, but recognition of the inevitable. When I pray with and for members or patients who are terminally ill, I pray for comfort and peace, courage and strength, hope and renewal of love for themselves and for their loved ones. + +### Instruments of Peace + +Dying can be a difficult and painful experience, or a special memory for their loved ones. You can be instrumental in making it as comfortable and comforting as possible by carefully doing for them what they need as they write the last chapter in their earthly life. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, help us to be such instruments in Your hands that we may bring Your comfort, not so much by what we say but rather by what we do to help those experiencing illness, sadness, or pain. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/13-april-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/13-april-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..d7f1a2d2fe --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/13-april-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Better than Saying Anything +startDate: 04/13/2025 +endDate: 04/13/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/14-april-2025/14-april-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/14-april-2025/14-april-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..7ce6ea13a2 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/14-april-2025/14-april-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,30 @@ +--- +title: A Stumbling Block to Passion and Romance +date: 04/14/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

He says that in general terms, men have the same five emotional needs, and women have the same emotional needs, although men’s emotional needs are in general not the same as those of women. + +Understanding that, Harley says that one of the five most important emotional needs of men is Physical Attractiveness, by which he means That the wife should keep physically fit with diet and exercise and wear hair and clothing in a way that her husband finds attractive and tasteful. He also explains that if the attractiveness of your spouse makes you feel great, and loss of that attractiveness would make you feel very frustrated, you should include physical attractiveness in your list of important emotional needs. + +Among the various aspects of physical attractiveness, weight generally gets the most attention. While physical attractiveness can’t endure as the basis for a relationship, it does meet certain strong needs that some people have. + +Another area where physical attractiveness can derail romance and passion in marriage is personal hygiene. Even Job declares that “my breath is offensive to my wife,” which many women could identify with. No wonder some couple may share a quick kiss, but the passionate kisses they shred while dating are probably nonexistent and the passion it accompanied has left long ago. Other simple personal hygiene problems are showering or bathing daily, the use of deodorant, brushing your teeth, flossing them, and having them cleaned at the dentist regularly, shaving, wearing clean clothes. While all of these seem so logical, so many seem to forget how important they are I order to maintain passion and romance in their relationship. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, help us to maintain cleanliness of our bodies, not just for health reasons, but also that we may be able to maintain a healthy, passionate relationship with our spouse + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/14-april-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/14-april-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..d8c0121313 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/14-april-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: A Stumbling Block to Passion and Romance +startDate: 04/14/2025 +endDate: 04/14/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/15-april-2025/15-april-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/15-april-2025/15-april-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..a72ca9d888 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/15-april-2025/15-april-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,40 @@ +--- +title: Love Lifts Up the Load +date: 04/15/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> So they went up from Egypt and came to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan. 26They told him, “Joseph is still alive and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt!” Jacob almost fainted, for he did not believe them. 27But when they related to him everything Joseph had said to them, and when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to transport him, their father Jacob’s spirit revived. 28Then Israel said, “Enough! My son Joseph is still alive! I will go and see him before I die.” (Genesis 45:25-28 NET) + +### Observation + +After testing the motives of their hearts and being satisfied, Joseph reveals himself to his brothers and tells them to bring his father and to all come together to live in the land of Goshen because the famine would last five more years. He then sends them back loaded with food and goods and carts to bring all their possessions and Jacob as soon as possible. When the brothers arrive in Canaan, immediately they tell Jacob about Joseph. There are several things about this story that are interesting: + +1. In 44:28, Joseph finds out for the first time what story their brothers had told Jacob about his fate – that he had been torn to pieces. + +2. Since Benjamin was also present, it might have been the first time he himself had heard the truth about what they had done to his brother Joseph. + +3. In our passage for today, although it is not directly mentioned but rather implied, they had to confess to Jacob about what happened or what they did to Joseph and revealed that their story and Joseph’s robe torn and dipped in blood was made up by them to hide the fact they had sold him as a slave. + +Jacob’s reaction was twofold: + +1. Jacob almost fainted. This expression in the original Hebrew means “his heart was numb,” meaning that he was stunned by the unbelievable news and was unable to respond, as if he were dead. + +2. When Jacob heard it all and saw the physical evidence – the carts, etc., his heart was revived. It was “emotional CPR.” + +3. Jacob heard enough of their story and put a stop to it so they would not delay their trip and he could see Joseph before he’d die. + +### Application + +We know that Reuben’s reaction when he did not find Joseph in the well was sorrow. We don’t know at which point the ten began to feel that what they had done was wrong, but I imagine that seeing Jacob suffer for the loss of his son might have touched their hearts deeply. From then on, and for the intervening years until they met Joseph face to face, they carried this burden of unconfessed sin. Now, having confessed their sin, though unknowingly, to Joseph, and before Benjamin, once Joseph revealed to them who he was the first reaction might have been fear, but the next reaction might have been relief, not only that Joseph was not angry with them, but that they didn’t have to carry that burden of secrecy within and among them any longer. + +The next challenge was to confess to their father what they had done and said. At first they were probably scared that they might have scared their father to death, but once his spirit revived, that burden of guilt was once again removed, this time for good. + +Confession is always good. Willard Harley speaks of total honesty in a relationship, which includes emotional and historical honesty. That means that there may be times when we have said or done something with our spouse or our family being unaware of it, and we carry that burden of secrecy with us. What happens, however, is that the secret builds up a barrier in our communication, in our emotional bond, in our intimacy, which may widen with time and therefore we cannot enjoy the true closeness we long for and need in order to have a fulfilling relationship and in order to be protected from falling again into the same mistake or others worse. Why not confess and be completely honest and transparent. Dishonesty, according to Harley, is one of the five “Love Busters” that destroy relationships. Honesty, on the other hand, is one of the ten emotional needs that we as men and women have and without which our relationship suffers. And pray that your spouse will be as gracious and forgiving as Joseph and Jacob were with the ten formerly jealous siblings. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Loving Father, give us the strength to confess our faults to one another and to be completely honest with each other, that we may enjoy the same transparency Adam and Eve had, the same openness that You desire for us as a couple. And if our spouse confesses their faults, may we be gracious and forgiving, and also thankful that they were willing to be open rather than live in a world of secrecy. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/15-april-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/15-april-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..55672856c4 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/15-april-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Love Lifts Up the Load +startDate: 04/15/2025 +endDate: 04/15/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/16-april-2025/16-april-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/16-april-2025/16-april-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..c2f04623de --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/16-april-2025/16-april-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,38 @@ +--- +title: Restoring a Marriage after Adultery +date: 04/16/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> Go, take yourself a wife of harlotry And children of harlotry. (Hosea 1:2, NKJV) + +### Observation + +God tells the prophet Hosea to marry Gomer, who was a harlot, and to adopt her children, born to other fathers. The lesson in this book, and through Hosea’s experience, is that of God, who chooses to be our “husband, even though we have turned our backs on Him and committed adultery with His enemy. + +### Application + +I am sometimes asked if there is hope for a marriage after there has been adultery in their midst. They will cite Jesus who said that the only acceptable cause for divorce would be adultery. The first thing we must understand is that while Jesus said that adultery is justification for divorce, He did not say that if there is adultery the couple must divorce. + +I do believe that even while there has been adultery in marriage the relationship can be saved. I have personally known of couples, and have worked with some couples, where one o both have had extra marital affairs but they have been able to stay together, heal their relationship, and go on to have a very good, healthy, strong marriage. How can this happen? Several things need to take place: + +1. There must be total openness and disclosure, at least as much as the injured party is prepared to hear. Any secrets will simply lead to another fall. Willard Harley, author of the books “His Needs, Her Needs,’ and “Love Busters” (among others) advocates the policy of Radical Honesty which involves past Honesty (anything in our past must be reveal to our spouse, or future spouse), Present Honesty, Emotional Honesty, and Future Honesty. + +2. Forgiveness must take place. Forgiveness is not an event but rather a journey. This journey includes feeling the pain, and even hatred, until harmony is restored. Depending on the depth of the injury, the healing make take some time. + +3. Recommitment to God and to the marriage covenant. This may be a public or a private commitment, but it is important to have a new beginning. + +4. Trust must be rebuilt. Like with forgiveness, this may take some time. As long as a partner will not trust their spouse there will not be in that relationship the feeling of intimacy needed to maintain a healthy relationship and therefore there exists the danger of failure and a fall again. + +5. Accountability. The partner who sinned must rely on their spouse and others to serve as accountability partners; this will help him/her to make sure another fall will not occur. + +6. Complete cleansing. Put a complete end to any relationship with the person or people with whom they sinned and also remove any temptations from their life. This may mean changing jobs or even moving, changing phone numbers, etc. It may also include limiting internet access by placing filters, giving the spouse all passwords, changing cell phone plans to limit access to the internet, etc. The smallest opening to sin may lead to another fall. + +7. Rebuilding their marriage. It is obvious that there were things lacking in the relationship which led to one or both of the partners to seek another relationship outside their marriage. The couple must become intentional in strengthening their marriage by praying individually and together daily, going to a marriage counselor who may help them discover the underlying problems in their marriage, attending marriage retreats and conferences, reading marriage and relationship books together, discussing their content, and applying the principles they learned to their relationship, etc. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, while we don’t ever want to fail in our marriage covenant, help us to forgive and to do all in our power to keep our marriage together even if or when a moral failure takes place. May Your grace and forgiveness give us the courage and the strength to rebuild our relationship for the sake of our children and for Your honor and glory. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/16-april-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/16-april-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..7071856ce8 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/16-april-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Restoring a Marriage after Adultery +startDate: 04/16/2025 +endDate: 04/16/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/17-april-2025/17-april-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/17-april-2025/17-april-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..fd5ac6e30d --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/17-april-2025/17-april-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,28 @@ +--- +title: Noah Saves His Family +date: 04/17/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. (Genesis 6:8, NKJV). . . Then the LORD said to Noah, "Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen that you are righteous before Me in this generation. (Genesis 7:1, NKJV) + +### Observation + +The world before the flood had become totally corrupted so that Moses goes to great lengths to describe it: “every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually” (Genesis 6:5, NKJV). + +Ellen White describes in greater detail some of what the antediluvians were doing to cause such sorrow to God. “In the green fields and under the shadow of the goodly trees they set up the altars of their idols. Extensive groves, that retained their foliage throughout the year, were dedicated to the worship of false gods. With these groves were connected beautiful gardens, their long, winding avenues overhung with fruit-bearing trees of all descriptions, adorned with statuary, and furnished with all that could delight the senses or minister to the voluptuous desires of the people, and thus allure them to participate in the idolatrous worship” (Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 91). They also practiced polygamy (PP 91), and human sacrifices (PP 99). + +It was in the midst of this decaying culture that Noah “was the only person who lived right and obeyed God” (Genesis 6:9, CEV), or as the NKJV puts it, “Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God.” In spite of his righteousness and the power of his message of warning, not one single person accepted his call to salvation even after 120 years of preaching, except for his own wife, their three sons, and their wives. + +### Application + +The first thing that strikes me about Noah is that many would consider him a total failure. I don’t know of a church that would employ a pastor who never brought even one person to the point of salvation. To be fair, though, there were some who believed Noah’s message but who died before the flood began. Ellen White writes, “Amid the prevailing corruption, Methuselah, Noah, and many others labored to keep alive the knowledge of the true God and to stay the tide of moral evil. . . Enoch had repeated to his children what God had shown him in regard to the Flood, and Methuselah and his sons, who lived to hear the preaching of Noah, assisted in building the ark” (PP 92). + +However, when all was said and done, only Noah’s family believed enough to enter the ark. This are the encouraging works to every parent: “Noah's warnings had been rejected by the world, but his influence and example resulted in blessings to his family. As a reward for his faithfulness and integrity, God saved all the members of his family with him. What encouragement to parental fidelity!” (PP 98). Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord, he was righteous, and he obeyed God. It was that life, lived under the shadow of the Almighty, which singled him to be God’s spokesman to a dying world. But most importantly, he became the instrument of salvation for his own family. Though no one hear and accept our message that the world is again coming to an end, I pray our own family will be saved not because of our “preaching,” but because of the way we live before God. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, help us to live in such a way that our children will be saved because they see You reflected in us. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/17-april-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/17-april-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..b8bf549fb7 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/17-april-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Noah Saves His Family +startDate: 04/17/2025 +endDate: 04/17/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/18-april-2025/18-april-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/18-april-2025/18-april-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..4dd8700887 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/04-april-2025/18-april-2025/18-april-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,28 @@ +--- +title: One Husband and One Wife +date: 04/18/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> The Lord God said, “It is not good for man to be alone; I will make a fitting helper for him.” (Gen. 2:18 - _Tanakh: The Holy Scriptures_. Jewish Publication Society) + +### Observation + +Man’s fulfillment requires companionship. As a talmudic rabbi observes about v. 18, “Even though a man has several sons, it is forbidden to him to be without a wife” (_b. Yebam._ 61b). The Lord’s creation of woman from man emphasizes the close connection between them and lays the groundwork for the understanding of marriage (and its association with procreation) in v. 24. The creation of the woman after the man and from a part of his body need not imply the subordination of women to men. According to Ramban (Namanides, a great 13th-century Spanish rabbi), the point of v. 24 is that men are to be different from the males of the animal world, who mate and move on to the next partner: A man “wishes [his wife] to be with him always.” Promiscuity is thus a degradation of God’s intentions in creating human beings male and female. It is interesting that although polygamy is amply attested in the Tanakh, v. 24 indicates that the ideal, Edenic condition is monogamy (see also Mal. 2:14–16; Prov. 5:15–23).[_ The Jewish Study Bible_. 2004 (A. Berlin, M. Z. Brettler & M. Fishbane, Ed.) (16). New York: Oxford University Press.] + +### Application + +When God created Eve, His plan was not that the man and the woman would be in competition for supremacy; that came as a result of sin. God’s plan was that they would be equally in His image and that they would serve one another, a principle stated later by Paul in Ephesians 5:21 where he wrote, “submitting to one another in the fear of God.” + +The Jewish commentators cited above make a very interesting point, and worth emphasizing again: According to Ramban (Namanides, a great 13th-century Spanish rabbi), the point of v. 24 is that men are to be different from the males of the animal world, who mate and move on to the next partner: A man “wishes [his wife] to be with him always.” Promiscuity is thus a degradation of God’s intentions in creating human beings male and female. + +From the beginning, God intended that one man and one woman would make up the marital dyad. A multiplicity of spouse (polygamy), or even a series of spouses (serial monogamy), was not God’s intention, even if it was permitted for some and for some time. God’s best plan for us as individuals is to be married only to one other individual, and that for a lifetime. + +Ellen White makes a most sublime observation when she writes: “God Himself gave Adam a companion. He provided ‘an help meet for him’--a helper corresponding to him--one who was fitted to be his companion, and who could be one with him in love and sympathy (The Adventist Home, p.25). Marriage, as God designed it, was to bring two people so close together that they would not simply feel for the other (empathy), but feel with the other (sympathy). + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, thank you for designing marriage of one man and one woman as Your ideal, knowing that it would be best for both and for our family.

(Genesis 26:34-35 NKJV) + +### Observation + +_**Esau… took to wife**_—If the pious feelings of Abraham recoiled from the idea of Isaac forming a matrimonial connection with a Canaanitish woman [Ge 24:3], that devout patriarch himself would be equally opposed to such a union on the part of his children; and we may easily imagine how much his pious heart was wounded, and the family peace destroyed, when his favorite but wayward son brought no less than two idolatrous wives among them—an additional proof that Esau neither desired the blessing nor dreaded the curse of God. These wives never gained the affections of his parents, and this estrangement was overruled by God for keeping the chosen family aloof from the dangers of heathen influence. [Jamieson, R., Fausset, A. R., & Brown, D. (1997). _Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible_ (Ge 26:34). Oak Harbor, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc.] + +**_Which were a grief of mind._** These two women, as the Hebrew clearly indicates, became literally, “a bitterness of spirit” to Esau’s parents. Their perverse and evil ways, their idolatrous religion, and their unspiritual and frivolous disposition brought heartache to Isaac and Rebekah.

Scripture

+> So the woman conceived and bore a son. And when she saw that he _was_ a beautiful _child,_ she hid him three months. (Ex.2:2, NKJV) + +### Observation + +**_A goodly child._** Even as a babe Moses gave evidence of the keen intellect, emotional stability, and also the physical perfection that marked his later years. All of this is implied in the Hebrew word translated “goodly.” Jochebed saw in these qualities a token of divine approval, which she took as a sign that God had marked out some special task for him. According to Acts 7:20 he was, literally, “attractive [“beautiful,” RSV] to God.” This is rendered in the KJV as “exceeding fair.” Jochebed would of course have loved and protected Moses even if he had not been so “goodly” a child, for mothers often devote their deepest love to weak and sickly children. However, Jochebed’s efforts to preserve the life of Moses are praised in Heb. 11:23 as an act of faith, and this implies awareness on her part that God had destined him for an important role and would therefore intervene to preserve his life. This, however, does not necessarily confirm a statement by the Jewish historian Josephus (_Antiquities_ ii. 9. 3) that it had been revealed to Amram before the birth of the child that he was appointed to be the savior of Israel. (_The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, Volume 1_. 1978 (F. D. Nichol, Ed.) (501). Review and Herald Publishing Association.) + +### Application + +Every time I read the words of today’s text I find it interesting that Jochebed saw that her son, Moses, was handsome. What mother doesn’t think their child is handsome? Well, in a poll of 1000 parents in the United Kingdom revealed their feelings and reactions when they first set eyes on their babies. Of the 18 per cent who admitted being disappointed by the looks of their child, more than half had discussed their feelings with their partners but only eight per cent said they had spoken to anyone else about it. Instead it seems the vast majority suffer their disappointment in silence, choosing to put on the brave face society expects. + +A spokesman for the company that conducted the survey explained that as human beings we are wired to love our babies and the poll overwhelmingly supports the theory that we all fall in love with our children at first sight. At the same time, loving your baby doesn't have to mean that you think he/she is beautiful. It appears that every parent feels a pressure to say their new baby is beautiful but only four out of five actually believe it. And yet, the remaining fifth who secretly feel their baby is ugly don't love them any less and may even feel the need to spoil them more than they would a good looking baby. + +Were you a little disappointed with your child’s look when you first laid eyes on him/her? Maybe that has to do with the world’s idea of what constitutes a beautiful baby. We have seen the “Gerber” baby on so many baby food jars, posters, and commercials that we expect ours to look just like that. But the reality is that our children are beautiful because they are ours. . . and they are God’s children. At first, many children are a bit “disfigured” as a result of the trauma of going through the birth canal, or when they are premature, but with time their head assumes the proper shape, they fill up with normal baby fat, and act more and more like these precious little creatures, looking so much like us, and we fall in love with them more and more every day. Love your child, no matter what your first feelings about their looks may be. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, thank you for our children, your gift to us.

Scripture

+> So he blessed them that day, saying, “By you will Israel bless, saying, ‘May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh.’” So he put Ephraim before Manasseh. (Genesis 48:22 NET) + +### Observation + +As Abraham and Isaac had done before, so now Jacob pronounces a blessing, this time on Joseph and his children, whom Jacob claims as his own and after whom two of the twelve tribes are named thereafter. A blessing on children was a custom in Bible times as fathers pronounced a blessing on their children, older people on younger people, and those recognized as being in authority over others under them. It was this custom what led mothers to bring their children to be blessed by Jesus. By their act, they recognized Him as someone worthy of respect, as someone with authority, and as someone whose blessing on their children would be a spacial mark and privilege. + +### Application + +It seems like we have abandoned the practice of blessing our children for fear that we may be taking on God’s role or that we may be imitating other faith communities that do practice it. Since it is a biblical practice, there’s nothing wrong in implementing it. The question might not be if we should do it, but rather when and how. As to the when, if a parent begins early enough, their children will grow up hearing it and therefore will not be uncomfortable with it. As I was growing up, it was custom in our family that whenever we left home or ended a phone conversation with our mother, we would ask for her blessing, and her common response was to say “God bless you, my child.” To this day, as an adult and after more than seven years since her death, I miss hearing her say those words. So, a blessing may be pronounced when you part company, when your children leave for school or work, when you end a phone conversation, e-mail, or text message, or before they go to sleep.

Acts 14:26–28; 15:1–4); hence it is sometimes conjectured that he was a native of Antioch. Later he is associated with Paul during part of the apostle’s Third Missionary Journey (2 Cor. 2:13; 7:6, 13). The epistle to Titus informs us that he was left in Crete to set certain things in order and to organize churches there (ch. 1:5).

The traffic of children continues around the world – children sold to a life of forced labor or to lives of physical and/or sexual abuse. Others excuse abortion on demand for the sake of the women who do not wish to have babies, for victims of incest or rape, or for unwanted pregnancies for teen mothers. In some countries the birth of a baby girl is frowned upon and in some places parents are penalized for having more than one child and particularly if they are girls using the excuse of wanted to control the population growth of their country and thus protecting the population in general. Majorities worry about the growth of minority groups who may one day overtake them to become the ruling group and thus they would excuse genocide in order to protect their culture, ideas, or way of life. + +We are called upon to protect and help our children, not to harm them, before or after birth. If children are a blessing from the Lord, how can we justify abortion on demand?

Scripture

+> "Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. “And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.” (Revelation 21:1-5 NKJV) + +### Observation + +**_New._** Gr. _kainos_, “new” in quality as opposed to that which is worn or marred. Both occurrences of “new” in this verse are translations of _kainos_. _Neos_, also translated “new” in the NT (Matt. 9:17; 1 Cor. 5:7; Col. 3:10; etc.), refers to newness in point of time. By using the word _kainos_, John is probably emphasizing the fact that the new heavens and earth will be created from the purified elements of the old, and thus be new in quality, different. The new heavens and the new earth are, then, a re-creation, a forming anew of existing elements, and not a creation _ex nihilo_. Compare 2 Peter 3:13.

Scripture

+> Hear my prayer, O LORD, And let my cry come to You. Do not hide Your face from me in the day of my trouble; Incline Your ear to me; In the day that I call, answer me speedily. For my days are consumed like smoke, And my bones are burned like a hearth. . . This will be written for the generation to come, That a people yet to be created may praise the LORD. Psalm 102:11-3, 8 + +### Observation + +Some think that David penned this psalm at the time of Absalom’s rebellion; others that Daniel, Nehemiah, or some other prophet, penned it for the use of the church, when it was in captivity in Babylon, because it seems to speak of the ruin of Zion and of a time set for the rebuilding of it, which Daniel understood by books, Dan. 9:2. Or perhaps the psalmist was himself in great affliction, which he complains of in the beginning of the psalm, but (as in Ps. 77 and elsewhere) he comforts himself under it with the consideration of God’s eternity, and the church’s prosperity and perpetuity, how much soever it was now distressed and threatened. But it is clear, from the application of v. 25, 26, to Christ (Heb. 1:10–12), that the psalm has reference to the days of the Messiah, and speaks either of his affliction or of the afflictions of his church for his sake. In the psalm we have, I. A sorrowful complaint which the psalmist makes, either for himself or in the name of the church, of great afflictions, which were very pressing (v. 1–11). II. Seasonable comfort fetched in against these grievances, 1. From the eternity of God (v. 12, 24, 27). 2. From a believing prospect of the deliverance which God would, in due time, work for his afflicted church (v. 13–22) and the continuance of it in the world (v. 28). In singing this psalm, if we have not occasion to make the same complaints, yet we may take occasion to sympathize with those that have, and then the comfortable part of this psalm will be the more comfortable to us in the singing of it.

A airliner crashed killing all its occupants and leaving many families grieving their loss. A child was diagnosed with terminal cancer and her life was cut short at the tender age of three. Three firefighters were killed fighting an apartment fire in a large city. A building collapsed killing many of its residents. Five soldiers were killed with a road-side bomb. + +We read, hear, or see stories like these almost every day in the news or online. We hear them so often that they lose their impact the more often they happen. It is as if we become immunized to the bad news a little at a time…until it happens to us or to someone we know personally. It’s one thing to hear of a plane crash, but it’s another to know one of the passengers. It’s one thing to hear of a police officer that was killed, but it’s another thing to have known him personally and attend his funeral. It’s one thing to hear of the young cancer victim, but it’s another thing to be her pastor, her parent, or her grandparent. + +For any one of us experiencing deep pain and sorrow David’s words become ours. While we’re going through the darkest moments in our lives it is as if God were not there. We cry out, “God, please, don’t hide from me in my pain!” But the psalmist words are also very encouraging. God is not hiding His face from us in our pain and sorrow. On the contrary, His face shines in our darkness, His warmth surrounds us when we feel alone, and at the end we will sing His praises. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, thank You for always being next to us in our pain and sorrow.

Scripture

+> (Psa 4:4 NKJV) Be angry, and do not sin. Meditate within your heart on your bed, and be still. Selah + +### Observation + +This is one of the first of David’s many psalms. It is a ple or prayer for safety for the faithful. + +### Application + +I chose to entitle my words today “Anger Management” and not “Anger Suppression,” “Anger Elimination,” “Denial of Anger,” “Absence of Anger,” or any other name that would indicate that anger should not exist. Anger is a normal emotion, one that even God experiences. And while God’s anger may be different than ours, it is still anger. David writes, “O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger, Nor chasten me in Your hot displeasure” (Psa 6:1 NKJV). + +We need to accept anger as a normal emotion; but we need to learn how to manage it in a healthy way so that it does not become sin, and so that it causes no harm to anyone. According to marriage researcher and therapist John Gottman, during the heat of an argument with their spouse husbands tend to “flood” faster. By flooding he means that the blood “rises to the head” and prevents more “rational” thinking. Maybe this explains why so much of anger in men develops into physical abuse. When some men feel anger rising, they retaliate against the person they feel is causing them to get that way – for instance, their wife. One of the things we recommend is that when either spouse begins to feel “flooded,” that they take a time out. The key, however, is to make sure there is a time limit to that time out as opposed to an open-ended break. For instance, as the discussion begins to heat up, the husband may say, “I need to take a time out; please give me an hour and we can sit down and talk about this and try to resolve it.” Gottman’s research shows that it takes at least twenty minutes for a person to calm down when they’re in the middle of a discussion (as measured by their body reactions such as pulse, heart rate, etc.). To simply walk away would cause more harm as the wife feels like the issue has not been resolved and is not being “stonewalled’ by her husband. But a timed time out can help both calm down, give them time to think about their own contribution to the issue at hand, and maybe come up with some possible solutions or compromises. + +May use relaxation techniques – breathing, going for a walk, meditation, progressive muscle relaxation, listening to soft music, taking a warm shower, etc., to help them calm down before resuming the conversation. + +Denial or suppression of anger won’t make it go away and will cause more harm to the relationship than dealing with the issue in a constructive way. So go ahead and be angry, if the case warrants it, but deal with it in a healthy way, and do not sin against your spouse, your children, other people, or God. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, thank You for anger. Thank You for the anger that makes us act in the face of unfairness, injustice, evil, and sin.

I guess I find it encouraging to know that David was not the only one who faced challenges, stumbled, and fell dujring his youth and pleads for forgiveness. Sometimes those are sins or ignorance, at other times sins of commission, and may times sins of omission. Not having been brought up in a Seventh-day Adventist family I can look back at my youth and see a life tainted with sins of ignorance – drinking and smoking, because that’s what everybody else did. Or not always applying myself to my studies and causing my parents great aggravation, sadness, and pain. Or other things which were acts of disobedience or rebelliousness. With David I can I can cry out, “God, do not remember the sins of my youth.” And I know that God’s love and mercy covers those times. + +What bothers me, though, is not the sins of my youth but the sins of my adult age, after I came to know him, yesterday’s or even today’s sins. I can’t claim ignorance anymore. I can’t claim inexperience, lack of maturity, or bad luck either. My sin today is a sin of outright rebelliousness, something for which I have no excuse. And so with David I also cry out - “My God, I trust in You; let me not be ashamed; let not my enemies triumph over me.” I don’t want to bring shame on my God or His cause, nor do I want to bring shame to my wife and family, so I get up every morning to spend time with Him, to study His Word, to talk to Him and to listen from Him, so that I may be changed from my selfish life of sin to His selfless life of love. If I fall and my enemies rejoice it’s sad enough, but when I sin and my enemy laughs at God, it is a true shame. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> My God, I trust in You! Help me to live in such a way that I Will not bring shame on You or my family.

If anything, or rather Anyone, can help us and protect us when the floods of challenges, problems, and difficulties threaten to overwhelm us and destroy our marriage, it is God. When the economy threatens to take our job, our house, our financial stability and security away from us, where do we turn for help, the government? To the very institutions that have brought us to this place? And when we argue more time than we spend in enjoyable conversation, and when the thought of divorce swim in our heads like a piranha threatening to devour any romantic thoughts we may have toward our spouse, who are we going to turn to? To secular psychology which tells us to look for the solution within us? If we’re in water up to our eyeballs, and don’t know how to swim, nothing inside us will help us float or keep us from getting eaten alive. + +But praying as a couple, praying for each other, and praying together is our salvation.

It is a good time to pray for your spouse – it’s hard to not have a good, positive attitude toward your spouse when you’re praying for them. + +3. It’s good to know that your spouse is thinking about and praying for you. + +4. It’s a good time to confess to God, and to each other, our faults and frailties, to apologize, to forgive the other, and to receive forgiveness. + +I have advised couples who have not or are not praying together, and who may even be in great conflict, to begin by praying at opposite sides of the bed, but to pray out loud, and then to gradually move closer together as time goes by. Also, to pray for their spouse’s success, safety, and for everything good for them. I tell them not to use prayer as a weapon or a finger-pointing device, to not pray for their husband, “Make him a good husband,” or “make her a good wife,” or “change his nasty attitude,” or “help her to see what a good husband she has,” or anything like that. Rather pray that they may enjoy good health, that God’s greatest blessings fall richly on them, that they will enjoy God’s protection, that they may have a great day at work, that they may have a good, restful sleep, and things like that. Those prayers, verbalized by your spouse, can bring great healing the each and to their relationship. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, bless our spouse, this very moment.

Scripture

+> A man from the tribe of Levi married a woman who was a descendant of Levi. 2And the woman became pregnant and gave birth to a son. When she saw that he was a healthy child, she hid him for three months. 3But when she was no longer able to hide him, she took a papyrus basket for him and sealed it with bitumin and pitch. Then she put the child in it and set it among the reeds along the edge of the Nile. 4And his sister stationed herself at a distance, to find out what would happen to him. (Exodus 2:1-4 NET) + +### Observation + +Since God thwarted the Egyptians’ plans to destroy the Israelite male children and thus Moses was born, he was cared for by his own mother. The task was challenging from day one, but more so as the baby grew and made the normal noises children that age make. Fearing that he would be discovered and harmed, she hid him in a basket, away from populated areas, and under the watch care of his older sister. + +### Application + +While some are aborting their children because they would inconvenience their lives or others abandon them, neglect them, abuse them, or murder them, Moses’ mother risked her own safety to ensure that of her son. How can we ensure the safety and protection of our children today? Some thoughts: + +1. Spending as much time with them throughout their growing years. + +2. Providing a safe environment in which to grow up. + +3. Guarding the influences around them – friends, media, school, etc. + +4. Giving such an example that they can safely follow. + +5.

(Proverbs 14:1 NKJV) + +### Observation + +One of the many proverbs or sayings written by King Solomon. + +### Application + +Dennis Rainey, in his Family Life Marriage Bible, comments on this text: Every wife has the power to create or destroy her relationship with her husband. “The wise woman builds her house, but the foolish pulls it down with her hands” (14:1). . . Every man needs his wife’s respect; it’s one of his deepest needs. He has others, but your respect – or lack thereof – impacts his whole life. + +He goes on to say: Respecting your husband includes really listening to him, not simply hearing the words that come out of his mouth. Take seriously what he says! . . . Some wives do not realize how powerful they can be in their husband’s life when they truly respect their man. . . and a wife should look for ways to affirm and respond to her husband’s leadership. It starts by praising him for those areas in which he deserves genuine respect. + +I’m baffled at times to hear how some wives speak to and about their husbands and then complain that their marriage is not what they would like it to be or that they’re not treated like they think they should be. Applying the Golden Rule, if wives begin by affirming and showing appreciation and admiration for their husbands, even for the smallest of things they say or do, can build them up and in turn result in better husbands. Willard Harley writes that Admiration and Respect are among a man’s most important emotional needs, not a selfish desire.

Scripture

+> The beginning of strife is like releasing water; Therefore stop contention before a quarrel starts. (Proverbs 17:14) + +### Observation + +Another one of the many wise saying from Solomon contained in this book. + +### Application + +How many times we wished we had not said something? How many times we wished we had not had an argument with our spouse, particularly when we know we started it, when we know we know we were wrong to begin with and now we don’t know how to fix it? + +Solomon’s advice is so good and practical and one we should keep in mind. One strife, or an argument, or a fight begins, it is so hard to stop it before it cause harm to one, both, or to the relationship. Words fly, feelings are hurt, resentment sets in, forgiveness is hard to come, peace and harmony take a while to return. It is so much easier to stem the flow before it is too late. Instead, PRACTICE THE PREVENTION RULE. Benjamin Franklin was on target when he stated, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." We must learn to resolve conflict before it starts. God's instruction on this point is clear: “The beginning of strife is like the letting of water. Stop the flow before it starts. Quit before the quarrel breaks out.” – Proverb 17:14 + +Here are some suggestions: + +1. LOOK FOR AREAS WHERE YOU ARE TO BLAME. When you look for your responsibility in the conflict, it causes the other party to soften and often come to your defense. + +2. ASK YOURSELF THESE QUESTIONS. + +- Is it a Worthy Battle? Proverb 19:11 – PICK YOUR BATTLES. Those with good sense are slow to anger, and it is their glory to overlook an offense. (Proverbs 19:11 NRSV) Is this really a big deal? Do you want to have conflict over this? Is it really worth the anxiety and agony? Anyone who has ever played basketball knows that during a game there is going to be what is called "incidental contact." +- Am I Wrong? Be quick to say "I was wrong." If you say that simple phrase to your family members, it will open a highway of opportunity for real discussion. If you are wrong, admit it. It isn't a big deal. Sometimes we're wrong. By admitting it, we will stop the flow of conflict. . . . immediately. +- Should I React or Respond? To React – Instinct, Impulse, or To Respond – Takes Thought. When we react, we don't think, we just act! There is a huge difference between reacting and responding. To react requires no intelligence, only instinct. But to respond, you have to get that three-pound chunk of gray matter in your head involved. Responding requires time; it takes the facts. Only when you respond will you have a chance to resolve conflict. In conflict, too many of us react when we should respond. Be certain you respond; don't just react with a knee-jerk, thoughtless reply. +- What Difference Is this Going to Make in My Life in Three Days? What Impact Will it Have in Five Years? Many times, if you will ask these two questions, you'll find that what might have been a ridiculous conflict is simply not worth the battle in the scheme of the big picture. In his classic book, Brave New World, Aldous Huxley made a very intriguing observation: “When two parties argue for an extended period of time, both are wrong.” Philippians 2:14 admonishes us to do all things without complaining and disputing. When you say the right thing in the wrong way, it becomes the wrong thing to say even though it might be right! + +Here are a few suggestions as to how to say things more effectively to one another. + +- Use the Still, Small Voice. If we got down close to the ear of our child and whispered, the power of those words was amazing. The spirit in your heart affect's the tone of your voice. If you're filled with unresolved bitterness and resentment, it will come out in your voice. Lower your voice. Take a deep breath and speak in measured tones. If you're in a rage, step away and calm down. No one listens when you're shouting, but everyone does when you whisper. Watch your body language and eye contact. A certain demeaning toss of the head or look in the eye can make the hearer angry and defensive. +- Maintain Your Sense of Humor. We can resolve many conflicts by simply allowing ourselves to laugh at the circumstance and at ourselves. +- Don't Get Personal. Don't say irresponsible things about each other with the intent to hurt and demean. That's attacking the person, not the issue at hand. Address the issue, not the individual. +- Don't Bring up the Past. Don't bring up issues from the past and attempt to use them in the current conflict to win the verbal battle and bolster your position. +- Don't Get off the Subject. Don't get off the subject by widening your argument to issues unrelated to the current conflict and discussion. * Remember, he who angers you controls you. Anyone can take away your freedom, but remember, the most important human freedom is your freedom to choose your attitude in any circumstance. +- Avoid Statements That Are Impossible to Defend. One person may say, "I asked you to pick me up at school." The other may reply, "No, you didn't!" The first person responds, "Yes, I did!" This interaction is endless and fruitless. Make sure your statements are the truth. +- Avoid Six Fatal Phrases: + +1. “You always. . . .” No one always does anything. + +2. “You never. . . .” Again, you cannot accurately use the word “never” about another person’s behavior or choices. + +3. “You should/could have. . . .” Stay out of the past. How can you rationally discuss something someone “should” have done? You can't go back. Operate in the present. + +4. “Why didn't you. . . .” – You can’t rewind the clock. . . . This statement is certainly not part of a good, healthy conversation. If you ask a person, “Why didn’t-you. . . .?” there is no way they can “rewind” the experience and fix what they have already done. It is a waste of breath. + +5. “I would have. . . .” Now you're getting arrogant. “I” would have done it this way or that way. “I” wouldn't have made that mistake. This remark only separates you and your listener even more and breaks down any chance for productive interaction. + +6. “You make me. . . .” – No one makes you! This one's a real dandy. Talk about taking away all responsibility for personal behavior. This statement is the king of them all! No one makes anyone else do anything. We choose. We are in control of our own actions and choices. Instead of saying, "You make me...," say to the other person, "I feel...," and explain your emotions from your perspective. + +Replace Those Six Phrases with These. + +1. "In the future..." This is a proactive statement. It gives both of you a positive position for a beneficial conversation and takes the defensiveness and sting of accusation out of your interaction. For example say: "In the future, would you please leave my keys on my desk and not in the car?" + +2. "Next time..." You cannot change what has already happened. There are no magic wands in families which will unspill the milk or magically erase a word or deed. For a more positive approach to how you say things, try this. For example, say: "The next time you find out you will be late picking me up after work, I would really appreciate it if you would call and let me know." + +3. "What would have to happen..." – Open-Ended Gives the other person a chance to respond. + +A person who is given the opportunity to think about their ideas, thoughts, position, or interest in a matter will be much more open to what you have to say. This phrase is one of our most important suggestions related to how you talk to someone. For example say: “What would have to happen for you to be more helpful around the house with the children?” + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, help us to stop fights and arguments before they begin and thus maintain the peace in our homes we all long for so that they will be a haven of rest for all who dwell within. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/08-may-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/08-may-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..dfd01d9b20 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/08-may-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Don't Release the Water +startDate: 05/08/2025 +endDate: 05/08/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/09-may-2025/09-may-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/09-may-2025/09-may-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..4e9fd66747 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/09-may-2025/09-may-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,35 @@ +--- +title: The Sweet Honeycomb +date: 05/09/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

My mother taught us, from the time we were small, to express public appreciation for even the simplest of acts – cooking, doing the laundry, mowing the lawn, putting up a nail on the wall to hang a picture, etc. In marriage, sometimes we begin to take each other for granted and eventually end up neglecting one another or neglecting to express appreciation for what each does for the other. + +So, how do you praise your wife?

Scripture

+> (Eccl 4:9-12 NKJV) Two are better than one, Because they have a good reward for their labor. {10} For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, For he has no one to help him up. {11} Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; But how can one be warm alone? {12} Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken. + +### Observation + +Solomon writes of things he has evidently drawn from his personal experience in his search for true joy and happiness. After having experienced just about everything a man in his position can, he comes to realize that none of it brings him true, lasting happiness. It is then that he faces the reality that true, lasting happiness comes from loving and serving God. In today’s verses, Solomon speaks of the value of TWO. The Bible Knowledge Commentary explains: + +In contrast with the futility of selfish greed, Solomon commended sharing with others by citing several advantages that come from companionship: better profit (a good return) from one’s labor (v. 9), help in time of difficulty (v. 10), comfort in time of need (v. 11; one’s body heat can keep another person from freezing), protection in time of danger (v. 12). The last three of these are illustrated by examples from the benefits of two persons traveling together. In the case of the second and third of these (vv. 10b, 11b) Solomon lamented the perils of isolation (characteristic of selfish greed; cf. “a man all alone,” v. 8a). + +Having set forth the advantages of joint effort and the mutual benefits of sharing one’s toil and its fruit with another, Solomon stated climactically that if two are better than one (v. 9) then three are even better (v. 12). One’s efforts and benefits should not be confined to merely two persons. + +### Application + +It’s interesting that Solomon had this insights which have now proved to be correct based on current marriage research. The advantages of marriage include, among others, financial, social, educational, health-wise. Financial, married people enjoy better finances because they have more stable jobs, and have more plans for their future therefore tend to save more, spend less, and invest more wisely. Social, the couples’ commitment to each other and to their relationship are stronger than among those who simply live together. When it comes to health, married man in particular are healthier than single men – maybe because of their spouse’ attention or because of their insistence they visit the doctor or eat better or exercise. Psychologically, single and divorced women tend to have higher levels of depression than married women. + +So, if you’re married, count your many blessings. Some married people look at the other side of the marital fence, at single life, as one which would give them the happiness they desire, and when they jump to that side of the fence they find out that married life actually offered them a much better condition altogether. Stay in your marriage, fight for it, work to make it better; the benefits are plentiful and measurable. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, thank you for designing marriage for our benefit.

And after twenty-eight years of marriage, when she became a widow, she continued to work and look for ways to support her children still at home. At an age when others would be starting to look forward to retirement, she left her homeland, her life-long friends, and moved to the U.S. with her two younger children in order to provide them with the best opportunities for a successful future.

Then you shall know that I am the Lord your God who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. 8And I will bring you into the land which I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and I will give it to you as a heritage: I am the Lord.’” + +### Observation + +God commissions Moses to be the leader of His people and to deliver them from slavery. God, the compassionate God and Father that he is, sends Moses to remind His people that He has not forgotten them, that while they have been bearing heavy burdens He has been by their side, that He did not create slavery, that He abhors it, and that He will not let them suffer forever. He wants them to remember that He remembers the covenant He established with their ancestors Abraham, Issac, and Jacob and that He will act on their behalf. + +### Application + +What attracts me the most about these passages is that God does not forget His promises toward us and that he hears our prayers. + +_1.

It is not the quick, simple prayer we need to utter, but too spend careful, calculated time with God, pleading for our children, as if their very lives depended on it, because it does.

When we do not receive the very things we asked for, at the time we ask, we are still to believe that the Lord hears and that He will answer our prayers. We are so erring and short-sighted that we sometimes ask for things that would not be a blessing to us, and our heavenly Father in love answers our prayers by giving us that which will be for our highest good--that which we ourselves would desire if with vision divinely enlightened we could see all things as they really are. When our prayers seem not to be answered, we are to cling to the promise; for the time of answering will surely come, and we shall receive the blessing we need most. But to claim that prayer will always be answered in the very way and for the particular thing that we desire, is presumption. God is too wise to err, and too good to withhold any good thing from them that walk uprightly. Then do not fear to trust Him, even though you do not see the immediate answer to your prayers.

Scripture

+> He shall judge between many peoples, And rebuke strong nations afar off; They shall beat their swords into plowshares, And their spears into pruning hooks; Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, Neither shall they learn war anymore. Micah 4:3 (NKJV) + +### Observation + +Micah speaks of a time when sin will be gone forever and the world s we know will not exist anymore. Instead, in the earth made new, peace and justice will reign. In specific ways, people sand even strong nations will bring their disputes to the Lord. They will submit to God’s judgment, realizing that He will decide what and who is right. Micah’s readers were aggravated under the Word of God, not wanting to be told by Him or by His prophet that they were wrong. By contrast eventually the whole world will submit willingly to God’s Word and His decisions. As a result, peace will be universal, implements of warfare (swords and spears) will be changed into tools of agriculture (plowshares and pruning hooks). Neither will there be a need to train people for warfare because the nations will be at peace. + +### Application + +Sometimes we look at this verse and make application only to the injustice, hatred, and warfare that we witness today among peoples and nations, but we fail to realize that the application begins with each of us. When God establishes His kingdom on earth, He first establishes it in the heart of each of His children. It is when He abides in our heart (mind/life) that the principles of justice and peace flow naturally from us to others. + +The question is, why do we have to wait until the Second Coming of Jesus for this experience to take place in our lives, in our marriages, and in our families? In practical terms, what does this verse mean in our homes? + +1. Justice: Instead of looking for ways to show that we are right and the others are wrong, why don’t we bring our disagreements to God so that He can bring conviction of wrongdoing to each of us? Some of the conflict in marriage is the result of one or both spouses trying to show the other person how wrong they are. The result, very often, is defensiveness on the part of the other. If we submit ourselves to God, and allow Him to show us where we have erred (because we all contribute to the conflict among us), then we can also ask Him to help us eliminate our judgmental attitude toward one another. + +2. Swords: Most of us probably don’t have a physical sword which we use against each other. What we all have, however, is a tongue that at times can be sharper than any sword we may use to hurt others. (Spend some time reading James 3:1-12 to be reminded of the power of the tongue). Allowing God to live in our heart will help us to control the tongue so that we don’t use it to hurt our loved ones. + +3. War: No more war in marriage and our family means that when God reigns in our heart we will learn to deal with conflict in a constructive rather than a destructive way. The goal is not to eliminate all conflict, because as individuals we each have the right to feel differently, to express our wishes and opinions, to tell others what we like and dislike. The goal is to manage conflict in a positive way, in a way that benefits the couple and the family. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, come into our heart today and establish the principles of Your kingdom there so that your justice will reign in our lives, so that our words will build and not tear down, and so that even our disagreements will become a stepping stone in our relationship. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/16-may-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/16-may-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..a7f4c86fcd --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/16-may-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: No More War +startDate: 05/16/2025 +endDate: 05/16/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/17-may-2025/17-may-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/17-may-2025/17-may-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..aadc208fd4 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/17-may-2025/17-may-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,22 @@ +--- +title: Whose god do you walk with? +date: 05/17/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

As the Jews were thoroughly weaned from idols by the Babylonian captivity, so they shall be completely cured of unbelief by their present long dispersion (Zec 10:8–12). (Jamieson, R., Fausset, A. R., & Brown, D. (1997). Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible. Oak Harbor, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc.) + +### Application + +Today’s gods are abundant. Work, money, beauty, entertainment, possessions, power, prestige, toys, knowledge, titles, etc. Entire families compete with other families trying to keep up with them, looking for the happiness they see in others. . . without realizing that often “the grass is greener on the other side of the fence.” Many parents sacrifice quality family, or one-on-one time together by enrolling their children in every extra-curricular activity they can think of – soccer, karate, music lessons (not just one but several instruments), dance, theater, cheerleading, beauty contests, etc. Children, not to say their parents, are often exhausted at the end of each day, and as the weekend approaches, instead of rest and worship time what awaits them is another long list of activities (camping, games, parties, etc.). The frantic pace of their lives, the lack of down time, the absence of family time is driving them farther apart and leaving them depleted of energy for each other, much less for their time with God. + +Parents need to set their priorities straight by establishing first a personal time and connection with God, then a couple’s time with each other and with God, and finally family time together and with God.

This may have impressed the nations around them but God saw through their insincerity. He knew that it was all worthless show. In these two verses, Amos highlights three places of historical and religious significance: Bethel, Gilgal and Beersheba. Although these were popular places of worship which drew crowds of worshipers, those who visited them were just going through the outward motions of faith instead of seeking the Lord from the depths of their heart. + +But even as Amos speaks of destruction, it is amazing that God still urges the people to seek his grace and mercy, just as the Lord encouraged the church at Sardis to turn to him (Rev. 3:2–3). All he requires of his people is that they will come to him, and they will live, and not die. Later, through the prophet Ezekiel, God cries out to His people: 31 Cast away from you all the transgressions which you have committed, and get yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. For why should you die, O house of Israel? 32 For I have no pleasure in the death of one who dies," says the Lord GOD. "Therefore turn and live! Ezekiel 18:31-32 (NKJV).

How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! Matthew 23:37 (NKJV) + +Things are not that much different today. Many people go to great lengths to try to gain God’s attention. In my homeland of Colombia, in the capital city of Bogotá, there is a mountain above the city (part of the Andes mountains). On top of this mountain there is a cathedral built in honor of The Lord of Monserrate (the name of the mountain). The claim is made that The Lord of Monserrate will perform miracles and answer the prayers of those who sacrifice as a pilgrimage to the top of the mountain. Each week you can see people crawling on hands and knees, arriving at the top of the mountain (some 2500 feet above the city) bloodied, scraped, and exhausted, but hoping that their pain and suffering will move the heart of the Lord and He will respond to their pleas for themselves or on behalf of others. In other places, people will fast for many days, recite lengthy prayers, attend hours of religious services, punish themselves physically and even ask to be crucified. They will do these painful acts, and yet they neglect the simple gospel message to ‘seek me and live’ (Amos 5:4). The Lord Jesus Christ makes it clear that all God requires is for people to humble themselves and come to him and find rest (Matt. 11:28). + +### Application + +I think the message from Amos for us today is clear: Don’t simply act religious, but be spiritual. While attending church, praying, reading the Bible, participating in church activities are all important, all those activities are void if they are simply done for show or out of force of habit. Many of us are “cultural” Christians, or Adventists, or whatever denominational background. We grew up in “the faith” and it is the only thing we know. “Doing” all the things mentioned above (and we could mention many others like returning the tithe and giving offerings, fasting, etc.) is almost second nature and we do them at times without even thinking twice about the reasons. But God is not very impressed with any or all of those things is they don’t flow our of a heart that is grounded in love for Him. + +So why don’t we begin by taking an inventory of our life and why we do what we do. Are our prayers a quick way to appease God, or our conscience? Or is it a sweet time of communion with our Loving Father? Do we read the Bible in order to learn Bible trivia or to impress God and others? Or do we pause to reflect on God’s message for our lives contained in those simple, yet profound, stories? Why do we attend church and what should be our attitude while there? + +Let us seek God and live. Seek God and have life abundant.

Scripture

+> Exodus 10:9 - 11 (NKJV) And Moses said, “We will go with our young and our old; with our sons and our daughters, with our flocks and our herds we will go, for we must hold a feast to the Lord.” 10Then he said to them, “The Lord had better be with you when I let you and your little ones go! Beware, for evil is ahead of you. 11Not so! Go now, you who are men, and serve the Lord, for that is what you desired.” And they were driven out from Pharaoh’s presence. + +### Observation + +Time and time again, Pharaoh refuses to allow the Israelites to leave Egypt;; it’s obvious he suspected they were going to leave for good and he would not risk losing his work force. At first he told them they could hold their worship service in the land. Then he told them they could go in the wilderness, but not very far. Finally he agreed to let the men go, but not the women or the children. It is clear that Pharaoh never really intended to allow the Israelites to leave Egypt and stubbornly tested God. After each plague, the conviction of God’s mighty power should have been made clear and thus he should have been willing to submit to His command; instead, he hardened his heart and refused to allow them to leave. + +### Application + +When it comes to the worship of God, it is not enough for the men to do so without the participation of their wives and children. The worship of God should be part of family life. My wife found statistics that point out that children drop out of the church a lot faster and in greater numbers when they attend church by themselves, or when they attend church with only their mom or dad. But when children attend church with both their parents, they tend to remain members of the church longer, many for a lifetime. Men are the priests of their household and as such they should lead in the worship of the Lord both at home and at church. This worship experience cannot and should not be a personal, private experience only, but a family experience as well. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Loving Father, thank You for the opportunity You give us to be Your children and that together as a family we can worship You.

Scripture

+> For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope. Romans 15:4 + +### Observation + +Paul is telling us that the entire Old Testament was written to teach us and therefore has lasting, abiding value. He wants to reminds us that it is God’s word and therefore as relevant to us today as it was to His people back then. In the devotional Conflict and Courage Ellen White writes: The lives recorded in the Bible are authentic histories of actual individuals. From Adam down through successive generations to the times of the apostles we have a plain, unvarnished account of what actually occurred and the genuine experience of real characters. It is a subject of wonder to many that inspired history should narrate in the lives of good men facts that tarnish their moral characters. . . . The inspired writers did not testify to falsehoods to prevent the pages of sacred history being clouded by the record of human frailties and faults. . . . + +It is one of the best evidences of the authenticity of the Scriptures that the truth is not glossed over nor the sins of its chief characters suppressed. . . . How many biographies have been written of faultless Christians, who, in their ordinary home life and church relations, shone as examples of immaculate piety. . . . Yet had the pen of inspiration written their histories, how different would they have appeared. There would have been revealed human weaknesses, struggles with selfishness, bigotry, and pride, hidden sins, perhaps, and the continual warfare between the spirit and the flesh. . . . Had our good Bible been written by uninspired persons, it would have presented quite a different appearance and would have been a discouraging study to erring mortals, who are contending with natural frailties and the temptations of a wily foe. But as it is, we have a correct record of the religious experience of marked characters in Bible history. Men whom God favored, and to whom He entrusted great responsibilities, were sometimes overcome by temptation and committed sins, even as we of the present day strive, waver, and frequently fall into error. But it is encouraging to desponding hearts to know that through God’s grace they could gain fresh vigor to again rise above their evil natures; and, remembering this, we are ready to renew the conflict ourselves. {CC 7.4} + +### Application + +Life can be very discouraging at times. Illness, death, accidents, conflict in marriage or with children, children who leave the church or rebel against parents, etc. One of the encouraging aspects of the Bible is that in its pages we find stories of people who experience similar situations or at times even worse. The experience of others may not alleviate our own pain, but knowing others also experience similar challenges helps us know we are not alone. Adam and Even lost one son at the hands of his brother. David lost his son Absalom after he rebelled against his father, dethroned him, and even persecuted him. We read of friends betraying friends, spouses lying to each other or committing adultery, and many more examples of humanity gone wrong. + +As dark as those passages are, it is somewhat encouraging to know we are not alone in our struggles or in our failures. However, we should not read in those stories an excuse to fail or permission to sin. Rather, let us find encouragement in knowing that God still loves in spite of our failures and is willing and ready to help us when we fall and fail and to give us the strength so we may fail again. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, as we study Your Word daily, may we find help and inspiration from the stories of old, and help us to learn from the lives of Your other children that our own lives, our marriages, and our families may be victorious. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/21-may-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/21-may-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..a4166bcf9c --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/21-may-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Learn from Others +startDate: 05/21/2025 +endDate: 05/21/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/22-may-2025/22-may-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/22-may-2025/22-may-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..1649f4d3a6 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/22-may-2025/22-may-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,30 @@ +--- +title: The Gift of Companionship +date: 05/22/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> Two are better than one, Because they have a good reward for their labor. 10 For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, For he has no one to help him up. 11 Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; But how can one be warm alone? Ecclesiastes 4:9-11 + +### Observation + +The author of Ecclesiastes, believed to be King Solomon, thinks about what loneliness is and what it does. The context suggests that he is describing someone who is so consumed by his work, he is incapable of making or keeping close relationships. Former Secretary-General of the United Nations, Dag Hammarskjöld, once wrote, ‘What makes loneliness an anguish is not that I have no one to share my burden, but this: I have only my own burden to bear.’1 + +Solomon then highlights the effects of such loneliness by contrasting them with the joys of having someone by our side (v. 9). In some cases a person cannot work alone, for they need “another pair of hands.” An ancient Jewish proverb says, “A friendless man is like the left hand bereft of the right.” Success is something to be shared. + +Solomon also speaks of the warmth of human relationships. His picture is very practical (v. 11). This can obviously be seen as a reference to marriage, but it must be noted that travelers often slept together on cold nights. Towards the end of his life, Solomon’s father, David, slept with the virgin Abishag simply for the warmth of her body. + +The last verse of this series focuses on protection (v. 12). For travelers at that time, it was advisable to have someone with whom to travel. Lone travelers were easy prey to robbers. . . Like in Jesus’ parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25–37). + +### Application + +Success is meaningless when it becomes all consuming. Think of the politician or businessman who rises to the top of his profession, only to realize that he has lost his family in the process, or a person consumed by his hobbies to the extent where the family is pushed out. George Eliot described a best friend as “a well-spring in the wilderness.” + +From the marriage point of view, God designed that man should not be alone and thus created an equal companion for Adam. One of the goals or purposes of marriage is the companionship, the friendship that two people can offer each other. For the unmarried, friendship is also important and we must seek such company, not just for our benefit but in order to be of benefit to someone else’s life. One of the interesting things, though, is that many live with the marital fence close to them and they imagine the grass would be so much greener on the other side. Some who are married wish they could be single, and some who are single wish they would be married! What these passages should teach us is the value of true friendship. In marriage, your spouse should be your best friend. If unmarried, treasure the true friends in your life. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, thank You for the gift of friendship and companionship. Bless us with that true friend in our lives. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/22-may-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/22-may-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..e992bf793f --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/22-may-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: The Gift of Companionship +startDate: 05/22/2025 +endDate: 05/22/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/23-may-2025/23-may-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/23-may-2025/23-may-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..0729d7fc3a --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/23-may-2025/23-may-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,42 @@ +--- +title: I Am Very Content +date: 05/23/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: + +Philippians 4:11 + +### Observation + +In Wuest Word Studies of the Greek New Testament we read: The words “have learned” are in a construction in the Greek which speaks of entrance into a new condition. It is, “I have come to learn.” Paul had not always known that. He had been reared in the lap of luxury, and had never known want as a young man. The “I” is emphatic. It is, “I, for my part, whatever others may feel.” The word “content” is the translation of a Greek word used by the Stoic school of philosophy which taught that man should be sufficient to himself for all things. It means “to be independent of external circumstances.” It speaks of self-sufficiency and competency. But Paul’s self-sufficiency was not of the Stoic kind. It was Christ-sufficiency. Paul’s independence was not Stoic independence, but dependence upon Christ. He found his sufficiency in Christ. He was independent of circumstances because he was dependent upon Christ. (Wuest, K. S. (1997). [Wuest's word studies from the Greek New Testament: For the English reader. Grand Rapids: Eerdmans.] + +This passage, in Peterson’s paraphrase, The Message, reads this way: “Actually, I don't have a sense of needing anything personally. I've learned by now to be quite content whatever my circumstances.” Philippians 4:11 (MSG) + +### Application + +This morning I rode in a Taxi in my homeland (Colombia, South America). As we got to the first red traffic light, there was another taxi stopped, a woman was standing outside, and a man inside, and she was yelling at the man. My taxi driver made the comment, “the things that drinking will make people do. . . I never drank in my life.” Since it was only 8:00 am, I thought it curious that he made the conclusion that either one or both of the passengers of the other taxi were drunk. Once the light changed I was a little curious about his statement and since he had a rosary hanging from his rearview mirror (which is typical for many Catholics in this country) I asked him why he had never drunk. I’m not sure what answer I expected, but certainly not the one he gave me. From the moment I asked him the question until he dropped me off he told me the story of his life, a very sad life, indeed. Here are some of the highlights, in his own words: + +- He began by saying of his own family that it was “very strange.” +- He was one of 13 siblings, his father a police officer (never mentioned anything about his mother). +- His early life was the end of a period of political violence in Colombia (which took place in the 50's and early 60s. +- His father never allowed them to go outside to play. +- He was kicked out of school unjustly for what another student did. +- He was fired twice from companies and was never told why. +- He married and had children but his wife divorced him and neither wife or children speak to him. +- His siblings have a combined twenty university degrees (several medical doctors). +- Most of the 13 siblings never married. +- He and the siblings do not speak to one another. . . none of them know where he lives, and he doesn’t know where most of them live. +- While his father was never physically violent with him he could tell his father never liked him or cared for him. . . thus he left his home as a young child. + +His closing words, as he dropped me off, were “Since my youth I have often thought of suicide. . . most days I really don’t care if I live or die.” + +I am rarely speechless. . . but this time my heart was so broken for this man that I could not find words to say. If it were not a taxi, I might have asked him to stop so we could talk more, but he needed to keep working. Time stopped meant he wasn’t making any money. But his sad story got me thinking about how blessed I am and all the things I have. He also got me thinking about all the people that have so much and do not appreciate it all. The couples fighting, wishing their marriage would finally be over. The children wishing they could leave home and be far away from their parents. The people wasting their life away in addictions that are taking their health, their happiness, and their life. Paul was in jail but could happily declare he was content! But we’re not just encouraged to accept our lot no matter what. Jesus offers us life in abundance (John 10:10).

Scripture

+> Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Romans 8:26 + +### Observation + +There are people who worry about the proper posture of prayer, and that is certainly important. The Jewish people often pray with their eyes open and their face turned upward, their bodies turned toward Jerusalem. The Muslim people will pray five times each day, facing Mecca, with their head to the ground. People in other faith traditions burn incense, beat drums, write their prayers and place them next to their gods, and perform many other acts as part of their prayer tradition. Christians of different faiths will recite prayers, close their eyes, clasp their hands, stand or kneel, perform certain rites, all as part of their prayer tradition and practice. + +Paul is more concerned about the content of our prayers than just our posture when we pray. He evidently sees our prayers as very limited, probably because of our weakened, selfish natures, and thus encourages us with the knowledge that God still hears our prayers because the Holy Spirit utters them on our behalf in the proper way, that is, asking what we should really be asking for. + +### Application + +Often we pray for our loved ones’ health, when they are extremely ill, even to the point of death. That is natural to us because we do not want to part ways with them. As a hospice chaplain I worked with patients who would not recover, which is the reason they were in hospice care, but their loved ones continue to pray for a miraculous healing that would keep them alive. That’s normal! We want to enjoy our loved ones in our life for as long as possible. + +At the same time, is life always what’s best for them? In Greek mythology there’s a story of a goddess who fell in love with a human. As life progressed and they lived happily together, the goddess asked Zeus, the king of the gods, to allow the human to live forever, a wish that was granted him. Unfortunately, he didn’t enjoy eternal youth but simply continued to age indefinitely until living was an unbearable burden. So, to wish for and even pray that God would extend the life of our loved ones could turn out to be more of a burden than death itself. In cases like this, it might be better to pray that God would give them life as long as they were not suffering or in pain, but if life became more difficult then to pray that God would give them rest. + +The Jewish people teach that some prayers should never be uttered. For instance, if you’re driving home and as you get close you see that a house is on fire, you should not pray, “God, please don’t let it be mine.” Such prayer is equal to saying, “God, please make sure the fire is on somebody else’s house.” + +Prayers that have to do with education, work, finances, need to be uttered carefully, not selfishly. If your child lives far away and there’s an opportunity for a job that would bring them closer to home, we can pray, “God, since you know everything, if that is the best for his/her future, please open the doors. . . if not, please close the doors, even if that means they won’t be able to come closer to home.” Pray for your children’s education that God will lead them to the career where they can best serve Him and people, not just one where they will make good money. + +The encouraging thing about today’s text is that in spite of our poorly phrased prayers, and the spirit which accompanies them, the Holy Spirit still speaks on our behalf, praying for us with an agony that we ourselves rarely experience. We have the assurance that God hears our prayers, because the Holy Spirit filters them and strengthens them through His own pleading on our behalf. That being the case, don’t stop praying for your spouse, for your children, for your family, for your friends, and for others. . . and let the Spirit do His work on our behalf. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, Thank You that we have not only and Intercessor in Jesus but an Interpreter in the Holy Spirit, and thank you that Jesus’ blood and the Spirit prayers on our behalf give us the assurance that You hear us and that You answer us in our need. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/24-may-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/24-may-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..39dd6ab9ea --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/24-may-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Good or Bad Prayer? +startDate: 05/24/2025 +endDate: 05/24/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/25-may-2025/25-may-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/25-may-2025/25-may-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..f4b61082a3 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/25-may-2025/25-may-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,34 @@ +--- +title: Man the Fort! +date: 05/25/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

But the prophet knew that such precautions could not hold back the siege or change its outcome. All Nineveh’s efforts to defend itself would be futile because, as God said (1:15), the city would be destroyed. + +### Application + +Our marriage and our family is under constant siege from many different directions. Marriage is under attack by society which tries to tell us that divorce is a good option when our relationship doesn’t make us happy. Politically, marriage is under attack by those who believe people of the same gender should have the right to be married. Some social scientists believe that living together before marriage is a good step for couples to take (even though there is a large body of evidence that shows many problems and disadvantages with this type of arrangement). + +Nahum’s words seem to place the responsibility for fighting to protect the city/family on the men, or the husbands. “Man the fort!” writes Nahum. As husbands, we must “man the home!” We cannot sit back passively while so many forces threaten to destroy it. We must assume the responsibility for the health and well-being of our wife and children. What this means, in practical terms, is that we must assume and practice daily our position as the priest of the home by initiating the family morning and evening devotional time. No program on TV, no game on the computer, no project (car repair, remodeling, etc.) can take the place of those divine appointments. + +“Watch the road!” The study of the Scriptures, particularly the prophetic passages, should tell us as husbands what is approaching and make the proper preparation for those events. The personal preparation cannot be done by anybody else or relegated to others. + +“Strengthen your flanks!” What this means is to look to see what may be causing our marriage or family to experience weakness. Is the programing on TV what would lead us closer to each other or farther apart? Is the internet, and what it brings into the home and into our lives helping us or hurting us? What controls should be apply to the access we or our children have to all this technology? + +“Fortify your power mightily!” All we have to do is to watch the commercials on TV which show men as weak, foolish, clumsy, unreliable, cowardly, and dumb. That is the image that young boys are growing up with. As men, we need to show the image of men as strong, smart (which does not necessarily mean we know everything), driven, committed (to God, to our wife, to our family), decisive, passionate and compassionate. + +Nahum’s challenge to Nineveh, facing the attack of the enemy, is our challenge as men today, when our homes and families face even more fierce attacks. Man the fort! + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, help us to be the type of men You created us to be, in Your image. . . strong, courageous, wise, compassionate, and committed to You, to our wife, and to our family.

Scripture

+> So then each of us shall give account of himself to God. 13Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother's way. Romans 14:12-13 + +### Observation + +Paul tells us (Romans 14:10) that we will all have to appear before God’s judgment court. The IVP Bible Background Commentary explains that , “Judgment seats” were common in the Greco-Roman world; officials like Pilate or Gallio would make their judgments from such a bema or rostrum (Acts 18:12). God judging all people before his throne was a common image in Jewish portrayals of the end. It is natural for Paul to apply Isaiah 45:23 to the final judgment, because the chapters around it speak of God delivering Israel in the end and calling the nations to account before him so that they acknowledge that he is God. + +### Application + +Since only One was ever perfect, that is, Jesus, it is impossible for us to find the perfect person to marry anymore than it is possible for us to be perfect in every way for others to marry us. And yet, it is so easy for us to look for and find fault in our spouse and to close our eyes to our own faults. That’s why these words of Paul should be of particular interest to us because we will all have to give account for ourselves. Here are a few things that these texts tells and that we should keep in mind: + +1. Since we all will have to give account for ourselves, then we should work on changing and improving ourselves, not others. + +2. We should not judge others (our spouse, children, parents, etc.) because God is the judge and He does not give us the right to judge others. + +3. Judging others does not help them but rather becomes a stumbling block which prevents them from growing in the image of Christ. + +Instead of judging others based on our own faulty natures, let’s find ways to help each other to imitate Christ and thus become more like Him. Judging my spouse will only make me less satisfied with them and more unhappy to have them in our life. On the other hand, if I help my spouse be more like Christ, in reality I am helping myself have the best spouse possible and as it happens I will be happier with the person He gave me as my helpmeet. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, help me to be less judgmental of others, particularly my spouse, and instead help me to help them be more like Jesus Christ. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/26-may-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/26-may-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..b71000befe --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/26-may-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: I'm Responsible for Me! +startDate: 05/26/2025 +endDate: 05/26/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/27-may-2025/27-may-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/27-may-2025/27-may-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..7f8c6be658 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/27-may-2025/27-may-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,24 @@ +--- +title: What God Did for Me +date: 05/27/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

The annual Passover service was established not just as a celebration of their deliverance but as a teaching tool for future generations, particularly for children. Every year, as the family gathers around the Passover table and the children as, “What is this?”, the parents respond in two ways: 1. The Lord delivered me from slavery (13:8). 2. The Lord deliver us from slavery (13:14-16). + +### Application + +The point of the annual Passover celebration/commemoration is to teach the children about God’s marvelous deliverance power and to remind them that they were slaves, but God gave them freedom. Children are taught through songs, through the food items, through the games played, and through the questions asked that God displayed His power on their behalf. The questions reflect something that is very special not just for Israelites delivered from slavery but to all of us who have suffered under the slavery of sin from our birth. To the first question the answer is – The Lord delivered me. This reflects the fact that salvation is first of all a personal matter – God delivered me from sin. The second answer reflects what God has done for us as a people – God delivered us all. + +While most of us do not have Jewish heritage and therefore don’t celebrate Passover, the communion service gives us the same opportunity to explain to our children what Jesus has done for us. As we consider the foot washing part of the service, we can explain to our children that Jesus gave us an example of humility and service. We can explain to them what the bread and the grape juice represent, and most importantly, what the sacrifice of Jesus accomplished for each of us as individuals and what it assured for us as a people – eternal life on the earth made new. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, thank You for delivering me from the bondage of sin, and thank You for guaranteeing for us, through the death of Your Lamb, eternal life with You. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/27-may-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/27-may-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..710fbcce1f --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/27-may-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: What God Did for Me +startDate: 05/27/2025 +endDate: 05/27/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/28-may-2025/28-may-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/28-may-2025/28-may-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..8572de785d --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/28-may-2025/28-may-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,26 @@ +--- +title: Mercy in Marriage +date: 05/28/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> For I desire mercy and not sacrifice, And the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. Hosea 6:6 + +### Observation + +This is one of the best known, most often quoted passages of the Old Testament. The word Mercy (vs. 6) is the same word as that translated love or faithfulness in v 4. It describes the steadfast love shown by God in His covenant with Israel. He does not want sacrifice in place of that type steadfast love; instead, He desires that Israel’s steadfast love should be the real thing. In place of whole burnt offerings He would prefer a genuine, deep personal relationship with Him. + +Considering God Himself instituted sacrifices, this doesn’t mean that He did desired them that His people would stop offering them entirely, but rather that even in the Old Testament He valued moral obedience as the only end for which positive ordinances, such as sacrifices, were instituted—as of more importance than a mere external ritual obedience (1Sa 15:22; Ps 50:8, 9; 51:16; Ps 50:8, 9, Is 1:11, 12; Mic 6:6–8; Mt 9:13; 12:7). + +### Application + +The marital relationship that follows God’s pattern should be one in which love, faithfulness, and mercy reign. First of all LOVE, the giving of oneself completely to another person, the unselfish devotion to another, the decision to seek the best for the other person. Secondly, FAITHFULNESS, which is the commitment to not betray the other person’s trust and to remain with them even when we may not “feel” like doing it. And lastly, MERCY, which is accepting the faults of the other knowing they are no more perfect than we ourselves are. + +Our relationship with God is reflected in our relationship with one another. His desire is that we draw close to Him, that we love Him, that we remain faithful to Him, because the result of such relationship is that we we’ll be more loving to one another, faithful in our relationship with one another, and t hat we will extend mercy to one another. To most of us, it is more natural to be judgmental of others, while excusing ourselves. God’s order of things encourages us to look at ourselves before we look at the faults of others and to be merciful with others as God has been merciful with us. That is what Jesus referred to when He said, “Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. 3 And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me remove the speck from your eye'; and look, a plank is in your own eye? 5 Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.” Matthew 7:1-5 (NKJV) + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, help me to be less judgmental and more merciful, especially with those closest to me. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/28-may-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/28-may-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..5e1aa34e4a --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/28-may-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Mercy in Marriage +startDate: 05/28/2025 +endDate: 05/28/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/29-may-2025/29-may-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/29-may-2025/29-may-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..62b3df9b6f --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/29-may-2025/29-may-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,28 @@ +--- +title: Strengthen with the Mouth +date: 05/29/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

+> But I would strengthen you with my mouth, And the comfort of my lips would relieve your grief. Job 16:5 + +### Observation + +Job had lost all his property, but what hurt him most was the loss of his children. Ultimately he was struck with some skin disease and with the discouraging words of his own wife. To add insult to injury, his friends, who came to encourage him, used words that were more like accusations and a call to repentance. + +The words of today’s text are in response to Eliphaz’ boasted “consolations” (Job 15:11). Job would have like words that would strengthen him, words spoken from the hear, with love, words that would bring true consolation. The text could be paraphrased: “Like you, I could also strengthen with the mouth, with heartless talk and the moving of my lips – mere lip comfort could console in the same fashion as you do.” + +### Application + +I know that for the most part people have good intentions when they say some things. I have heard people say things, particularly at funerals or to bereaved families that make me cringe. Probably the most commonly used are the words “I know how you feel!” By that they mean, “I have also experienced pain, so I know what your pain is like.

Later, after the funeral, when you visit those who are still going through the process of recovery from grief, let them talk about their loved one. In fact, encourage such conversation by asking about their loved ones – their favorite memories, etc. After six to twelve months, friends and family go back to their own life and routine and inadvertently leave those grieving alone.

Scripture

+> Let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance. Prov 1:5 (NIV) + +### Observation + +These verses are the book’s own introduction to its nature and purpose. The contents of the book as a whole can be described as proverbs, which have the two main quite different forms noted in the introduction. This in itself shows that proverb is a word of broader and more varied application than the English word ‘proverb’. To us a proverb is a means of comparison. The Bible, however, uses the word more broadly. In different passages it can refer to a prophetic oracle (Nu. 23:7), an object lesson (Dt. 28:37), a saying (1 Sa. 10:12), a poetic discourse (Jb. 27:1), and other forms of speech. It thus suggests something more intense, vigorous and provocative than a straightforward saying. (New Bible commentary: 21st century edition. 1994 (D. A. Carson, R. T. France, J. A. Motyer & G. J. Wenham, Ed.) (4th ed.). Leicester, England; Downers Grove, IL: Inter-Varsity Press.) + +### Application + +Many years ago I read a book entitled “The Lost Art of Listening.” It may seem strange that someone would write a book about listening when it is such a basic skill. One person talks; the other listens. It's so basic that we take it for granted. Unfortunately, most of us think of ourselves as better listeners than we actually are. Why do we so often fail to connect when speaking with our spouse or children, colleagues, or friends? One of the reasons is because often our emotional reactions get in the way of real communication. + +The writer of the book of Proverbs reminds us that we actually become wiser by listening, much more so than by talking. When we listen to try to understand the message that the other person is trying to convey we will have a better chance of actually getting the message correctly. Someone wrote that, “We hear only half of what is said to us, understand only half, believe only half of that, and remember only half of that;” no wonder we have such difficulty communicating with others. + +So what if we begin today with listening to understand? Pay attention to the feelings conveyed. Do not try to correct the details or the facts expressed. . . listen for what feelings may be behind those words and then repeat them back to see if you what you heard is what the other person meant to say. Sometimes the acknowledgment of those feelings, and repeating back what you heard can open the doors wide open to better communication. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, helps us to use our ears, our mind, and our heart more often than we use our mouth so that we may hear, listen, and understand what our loved ones are trying to tell us. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/30-may-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/30-may-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..0ddff3a11d --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/30-may-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: The Wise Listen +startDate: 05/30/2025 +endDate: 05/30/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/31-may-2025/31-may-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/31-may-2025/31-may-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..43d70bd281 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/05-may-2025/31-may-2025/31-may-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,26 @@ +--- +title: The Tongue that Cuts or Heals +date: 05/31/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Proverbs 12:18 + +### Observation + +The expression “piercing words” means someone who speaks hastily or indiscreetly, a person who speaks with anger, or uses his/her mouth in a reckless manner, they are not thought through. The opposite is the tongue of the wise who uses soothing and gentle language. + +The SDA Bible Commentary explains, “The simile is particularly striking in Hebrew, since the edge of a sword is called its mouth. The hasty, impatient mouth speaks words that wound the hearts of friends and lead to great suffering and sorrow. Tactless words often prick the tender hearts of those who mourn or are in difficulty, but the wise man knows what to say to comfort the sorrowing, soothe the angry, and cheer the despondent (see Psalms 10:11). + +### Application + +The words we use, particularly those we use on a daily basis toward our spouse or children, can put them down or lift them up. Those words can discourage or encourage, they can hurt or heal, they can kill or give life. Ellen White wrote, “The voice and tongue are gifts from God, and if rightly used, they are a power for God. Words mean very much. They may express love, devotion, praise, melody to God, or hatred and revenge. Words reveal the sentiments of the heart. They may be a savor of life unto life or of death unto death. The tongue is a world of blessing, or a world of iniquity (Manuscript 40, 1896). + +Today, let us make a special effort to eliminate from our speech toward our loved ones (or anybody else, for that matter) anything that tears down, any criticism, words that hurt or put the other person down. Instead, let’s begin a new habit of using positive, encouraging words, words that build up and that make them feel better about themselves. Instead of catching others when they’re doing something bad or wrong, and emphasize that, catch them doing what is good, and express your appreciation for those things. . . that is one way to reinforce good behavior. Express appreciation even for the smallest actions or words of the others. Tell your wife you appreciate the meal she prepared for you, or how orderly and clean she keeps the house, or compliment her for the way she looks and how she takes care of herself, of your children, and of you. Thank your husband for mowing the lawn, for keeping the cars in good working condition, or for painting a room or the entire house.

Scripture

+> Can two people walk together without agreeing on the direction? Amos 3:3 (NLT) + +### Observation + +The Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible shares these insights on this passage: Can God’s prophets be so unanimous in prophesying against you, if God’s Spirit were not joined with them, or if their prophecies were false? The Israelites were “at ease,” not believing that God was with the prophets in their denunciations of coming ruin to the nation (Am 6:1, 3; compare 1Ki 22:18, 24, 27; Je 43:2). This accords with Am 3:7, 8. So “I will be with thy mouth” (Ex 4:12; Je 1:8; Mt 10:20). If the prophets and God were not agreed, the former could not predict the future as they do. In Am 2:12 He had said, the Israelites forbade the prophets prophesying; therefore, in Am 3:3, 8, He asserts the agreement between the prophets and God who spake by them against Israel [Rosenmuller]. Rather, “I once walked with you” (Le 26:12) as a Father and Husband (Is 54:5; Je 3:14); but now your way and Mine are utterly diverse; there can therefore be no fellowship between us such as there was (Am 3:2); I will walk with you only to “punish you”; as a “lion” walks with his “prey” (Am 3:4), as a bird-catcher with a bird [Tarnovius]. The prophets, and all servants of God, can have no fellowship with the ungodly (Ps 119:63; 2Co 6:16, 17; Eph 5:11; Jam 4:4). + +### Application + +We can find so many similar statements in the Bible teaching us about the importance of being in agreement as a couple and as a family.

Scripture

+> I will stand my watch And set myself on the rampart, And watch to see what He will say to me, And what I will answer when I am corrected. Habakkuk 2:1 + +### Observation + +There are four important expressions in this verse, all of which relate to the attitude of the prophet before God. + +1. The first two are “stand upon” and “watch.” The prophets often compare themselves to watchmen, waiting the revelations of God with earnest patience, standing on a lookout watching with intensity all that comes within their view (Is 21:8, 11; Je 6:17; Ez 3:17; compare Ps 5:3; 85:8). The number of synonyms used by Habakkuk, “stand open… watch… set me upon… tower… watch to see” implies persevering fixity of attention. + +2. “what he will say unto me”—in answer to my complaints (Hab 1:13). Literally the expression means “in me.” God is speaking, not simply to the prophet’s outward ear, but rather inwardly. When we have prayed to God, we need to wait and listen to what answers God gives by His word, His Spirit, through others, and through events that take place, what some would cal “providences.” + +3. “what I shall answer when I am reproved”— in other words, what will be my attitude toward God when in answer to my prayers He chastises me, corrects me, or reproves me? If God answers our prayers just the way we want Him to, we express our thanks to him; but what do we say when in answer to our prayer He reproves us? + +### Application + +The role of the parent, particularly of the father, toward their children is not that much different from that of the prophet. He is to be the Seer (an old term to describe part of the role of the prophet), standing and watching, earnestly and patiently, to see what God will tell them, for wisdom to know how lead his home and his children, for guidance from God which he can impart to his own household. + +His role is also as God’s spokesman. As head of the household the parent, and particularly the father, needs to lead his family to do what God wants them to do, what God’s word teaches we should do. + +But our role as God’s spokesperson does not give us the right to speak as if we were infallible, flawless, or perfect. In fact, Habakkuk also reminds us that if we are open to God’s leading, there will be times when He will reprove us. When that happens, his humble attitude will teach important lessons about submission to God knowing that He knows what is best for us. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, may we as parents represent You properly and faithfully to our family, especially to our children, who will get a good or bad picture of You through us. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/02-june-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/02-june-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..2b64a0937a --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/02-june-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Stand Up and Watch +startDate: 06/02/2025 +endDate: 06/02/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/03-june-2025/03-june-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/03-june-2025/03-june-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..a8e5a36107 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/03-june-2025/03-june-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,26 @@ +--- +title: Just What We Need +date: 06/03/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> (Exodus 16:17-18 NKJV) Then the children of Israel did so and gathered, some more, some less. {18} So when they measured it by omers, he who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack. Every man had gathered according to each one's need. + +### Observation + +After 430 years in Egyptian captivity, it seems like the Israelites had forgotten many things about God – many might have even been worshipping Egyptian gods. One of the reasons for this wilderness journey to the Promised Land was a process of retraining the Israelites, to bring them back to the worship of the only and true God. It’s interesting that one of the first things God taught them, or reminded them of, was the Sabbath. In Exodus 16 we find the way that God showed them about the weekly cycle, which culminates with the seventh-day Sabbath. But it was not simply to teach them about the weekly cycle but also that God takes care of our needs. + +### Application + +From the very beginning, the week of creation, God was trying to teach that fact to Adam and Eve when He created them on the sixth day of that first week, and their first full day of life was the Sabbath. They hadn’t yet done any work, and yet God had provided for all their needs and simply invited them to rest. + +This morning, as I write these words, it is Sabbath. Outside, it is -15F here in Maple Grove, near the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, with a wind chill of somewhere between -25 to -30. And yet, inside our home is warm, we have plenty of food for several days, we have our cars in the garage, ready to take us wherever we may need to go, we have books to read, clothes to wear, and much, much more. On this Sabbath, like on every other Sabbath, God is taking care of our needs and we’re enjoying the physical, emotional, and spiritual rest we so much need and desire. + +It is also interesting that on the Sabbath the people were not to go out and gather Manna, which would not be there anyway, but were to stay together, as families, and simply enjoy the day and God’s blessings. The Sabbath is not just a day to do nothing, but a day to enjoy God’s blessings with our families – whether at home or with our church family, a day to remember that He takes care of all our needs, and a day to be refreshed, rejuvenated, recreated both individually and as a family. May this be a blessed Sabbath day for you. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, thank You for the blessings of the Sabbath. May today, the Sabbath, be a glorious one for each of us, and may our families receive the greatest blessings on this day as we come to You and as You bring us closer to one another. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/03-june-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/03-june-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..2f23c4d3be --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/03-june-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Just What We Need +startDate: 06/03/2025 +endDate: 06/03/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/04-june-2025/04-june-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/04-june-2025/04-june-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..5e3ced97b0 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/04-june-2025/04-june-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,32 @@ +--- +title: Seek What Is Good for the Other. . . and Both +date: 06/04/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> Seek good and not evil, That you may live; So the LORD God of hosts will be with you.. Amos 5:14 + +### Observation + +In this chapter of Amos, the prophet has been bringing a number of accusations against the people of Israel. Among the things that they are doing to their own people he includes: Intimidation of the righteous (v.10, 12b), and abuse of the poor (v.11a, 12b). Because of their zeal to profit illegally through the courts, they hated any righteous judge who reproved their injustice, and despised any righteous witness who told the truth in defense of the innocent (v.10). + +The abusers found corrupt judges to take bribes and deprive the poor of justice (v.2b). Rich landowners successfully manipulated legal proceedings to trample on the poor, gain ownership of their fields, and force them to give a large fee of grain to remain a tenant on the land (5:11a) + +But God knew how many were their offenses (peša‘, “covenant violations”). He knew how great were their sins. Therefore, though they had built stone mansions fit for kings and had planted lush vineyards in the fields that once belonged to small farmers, they would neither live in the houses nor drink the wine (Amos 5:11b-12). + +In spite of their attitude and behavior, there still existed the possibility of repentance for individuals to separate themselves from their guilty nation (cf. vv. 4-6). If people would seek good, not evil, they might yet live. If they would go counter to the prevailing corruption—if they would hate evil instead of hating the righteous (v. 10, if they would maintain justice in the courts instead of trampling it (vv. 11-12)—then the Lord God Almighty would be their Defender instead of their Judge. He would indeed be with them, just as they were claiming He was. + +### Application + +Christian psychologist Willard Harley speaks of the two sides of us, fighting for control. The “Giver” is the side of our personality that wants to make the other person happy. It is our unselfish, loving, caring nature that desires what is good for the other and is even willing to be hurt, to be vulnerable, and to be unhappy if in the process the other person is happy. This side of our personality is very prominent during the time we are dating, during the honeymoon, and early in marriage, and it is the side that promotes true intimacy in marriage, an intimacy that can last a lifetime. + +The “Taker,” on the other hand, is the opposite side of our personality that wants to make sure we are happy, even if it makes the other person unhappy. This is the selfish, unloving, uncaring, sinful nature that desires what pleases us in disregard of the other person’s needs. When the Taker takes over in our marriage, conflict becomes a regular part of life. If allowed to continue to dominate our relationship, the Taker will eventually lead us to withdraw from our spouse – emotionally, physically, spiritually – and at the end it could lead to the end of our relationship. + +What the prophet Amos suggests is that we not only allow but encourage the Giver side of our personality to dominate in our relationship so we will seek to do what is good for our spouse – and for others in our life – rather than evil (that’s the Taker in our lives). When we seek to do what is good – which is also what Agape love, caring love, is all about – the promise from Amos is that God will be with us. This does not mean that there are times when God is not with us – God is everywhere and always with us (Mat. 28:20) – but rather that His abiding, loving present will be real in our relationship to make it a healthier, more intimate one, one that reflects His relationship with us, and one which reflects His plan for our lives. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, You desire that Your type of love – unselfish, caring, self-sacrificing love – reign in our relationships. Help me to seek what is good for my spouse so that I may reflect Your love to them and so that Your plan for our married life may be fulfilled in us. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/04-june-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/04-june-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..c96b89d9f3 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/04-june-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Seek What Is Good for the Other. . . and Both +startDate: 06/04/2025 +endDate: 06/04/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/05-june-2025/05-june-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/05-june-2025/05-june-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..57a7dc1db1 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/05-june-2025/05-june-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,32 @@ +--- +title: He Wants to Rescue, Heal, and Save +date: 06/05/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> For "whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved." Romans 10:13 + +### Observation + +There are several important aspects in this text: + +1.The expression is emphatic, “Everyone whosoever.” It is not “some,” “most,” but “everyone,” nor is it “might,” or “could,” but “shall.” + +2. This is the third time these words appear in the Scriptures - “shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Joe 2:32), and also quoted by Peter, in his great Pentecostal sermon (Ac 2:21), where he made it an evident application to Jesus Christ. This “calling upon the name of the Lord is defined in Romans 10:9-10: “That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:9-10 (NKJV) + +3. The word “saved” in the NT Greek may be translated as “saved,” “rescued” or “healed.” All three words have important implications to our salvation from sin because the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross not only saves us from the penalty of sin (death), but also rescues us from its power, and heals us from its effects. + +### Application + +There are so many circumstances in family life and in the life of a couple where this verse offers us help. For instance, we are often asked if a marriage can be saved after infidelity has taken place.

Romans 12:15 + +### Observation + +The commentators of the “Andrews Study Bible” write, “This verse describes in concrete terms what it means to be compassionate; the opposite of compassion is a spirit of competition that finds pleasure in the misery of others.” (Andrews Study Bible Notes. 2010 (J. L. Dybdahl, Ed.). Berrien Springs, MI: Andrews University Press) + +Utley, in “The Gospel According to Paul” adds, “These two PRESENT INFINITIVES are used in the sense of IMPERATIVES. Christians are a family. Believers are not in competition, but must treat each other in family love. Because of the context of vv. 14–21 it is even possible that this reflects the believer’s response to the unbelieving community using cultural opportunities or circumstances for evangelistic opportunities.” (Utley, R. J., 1998, Volume 5: The Gospel according to Paul: Romans. Study Guide Commentary Series. Marshall, Texas: Bible Lessons International.) + +### Application + +The words sympathy and empathy are closely related, so it’s best to define them to better understand them.

(Expressing sympathy) + +The apostle Paul encourages us to sympathize and empathize with others. We cannot take the feelings away from the other person; they are their feelings. Nor can we negate, minimize, or devalue those feelings. . . again, they are their feelings. What Paul says is that when the love of God is in our hearts, we rejoice with those who rejoice – we are not envious of them nor will we want to throw a wet towel on their fire or rain on their parade. At the same time, when others weep, we don’t need to try to get them to “pull themselves by their bootstraps” when we think they should, or stop crying because it makes us feel uncomfortable. Instead, we are encouraged to explore their pain and feel it with them when bad things happen as much as we should rejoice together when good things happen. + +In marriage and in family relations, let’s be sympathetic with our spouse, our parents, or our children, and be empathetic with the feelings they are experiencing and expressing. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> father God, help us to feel with others as well as to feel for others, and may we openly rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/06-june-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/06-june-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..bab02ffb9d --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/06-june-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Sharing Joys and Sorrows +startDate: 06/06/2025 +endDate: 06/06/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/07-june-2025/07-june-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/07-june-2025/07-june-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..2cf09f3abb --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/07-june-2025/07-june-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,29 @@ +--- +title: Unselfish Relationships +date: 06/07/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

But Paul is not unique in this regard. The entire apostolic community (see Acts 15:20), as well as the entire Old and New Testament, are united in this concern. What is unique about Paul, however, is that he offers arguments to explain prohibitions against sexual immorality. For example, in 5:6, he explains that the sexual immorality of one person has a negative effect on the entire community. Such arguments clearly show Paul’s strong commitment to persuasion (rather than coercion) as his method of choice for inducing fundamental and lasting changes in people. (Andrews Study Bible Notes. 2010 (J. L. Dybdahl, Ed.) (1491). Berrien Springs, MI: Andrews University Press.) + +### Application + +The image in this text is not of a person that stands by, walks away, or moves away from sin. Paul urges us to FLEE sexual immorality. As I read this verse I am reminded of the story of Joseph while he worked for Potiphar. His wife did her best to entice Joseph to have sexual relations with her, but his response, and his resolve were firm: “How can I sin against God?” (Genesis 39:9) One day she made sure they were alone and grabbed Joseph by his garment, “But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and ran outside” (Gen.39:12). He didn’t stop to reason with her, nor did he simply stand to leave her presence, he fled. Joseph recognized the gravity of her actions and the danger of the situation, and he fled to get away from her. + +It is interesting that our verse for consideration today (1 Cor. 6:18), is connected to an often quoted verse: “Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?” (v.19). This verse is often used to remind us that we need to take care of our physical bodies by abstaining from certain foods and chemicals, and by eating properly and exercising, etc. While I would not disagree or object to the use of v.19 in that sense, we need to remember that the context of v.19 is v.18 - flee from sexual immorality BECAUSE our bodies are temple of the Holy Spirit, and when we commit sexual sins not only are we sinning against our own body (vs.18), but against God (Gen. 39:9; 1 Cor. 6:19). + +Sexual promiscuity in any way is self-gratification and contrary to God and of His will for us. That’s why Paul doesn’t simply suggest we stop but urges us to FLEE from it all. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, help us to flee from sexual sins, not only because we sin against our own body, but because we betray the trust of others, and we sin against You. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/08-june-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/08-june-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..6819439442 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/08-june-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Flee Sexual Immorality +startDate: 06/08/2025 +endDate: 06/08/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/09-june-2025/09-june-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/09-june-2025/09-june-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..2c40b0feda --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/09-june-2025/09-june-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,24 @@ +--- +title: New Every Morning +date: 06/09/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> “It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. ~ (Lamentations 3:22, 23, the Bible KJV) + +### Observation + +The word is correctly translated as plural. It conveys several related ideas: covenant love, grace, goodness, kindness, compassion; each one of these connotations can be expressed with other words. compassions. Another plural word that expresses a deep feeling of empathy. It is connected to the word “womb” when it is related to a mother’s deep attachment to her child. The whole verse can literally be translated as follows: “The kindnesses of the Lord never cease; His compassion (feelings of solidarity) never fails.” (Andrews Study Bible Notes. 2010 (J. L. Dybdahl, Ed.). Berrien Springs, MI: Andrews University Press.) + +### Application + +All we have to do is stop for a moment and think about what he have done so far this day that deserves divine punishment. Sometimes even early in the morning our thoughts or careless actions toward the people closest to us deserve condemnation. If couples would stop to think about all those times they, as individuals, have been selfish, rude and unkind, stubborn and proud, and expressed words or displayed behaviors that we would be ashamed of, or at the very least embarrassed, if we were aware that angels, and even God, are our witness. How much sorrow those thoughts, words, or actions must bring to the Holy One, and if only His justice reigned we would certainly be wiped off the face the universe. But God’s justice is always balanced with His mercy and His grace. Eugene Peterson in his paraphrase “The Message” states the words of our passage, “GOD's loyal love couldn't have run out, his merciful love couldn't have dried up. They're created new every morning. How great your faithfulness!” + +We are truly blessed. Our marriage remains intact in spite of what we have done to each other. Our family is still together even though we have not been a good reflection of God’s love. And the reason we’re still together and have a marriage and a family is because God’s mercies are abundant and never cease. Pause right now to thank God for His mercies toward you, toward your marriage, toward your family. And then ask Him to help you display the same mercy toward those closest to you so that your marriage and your family may be a tru reflection of what he is to you every morning and every day. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, thank You that Your mercies, your compassions are new every morning.

Scripture

+> (Exodus 18:24 NKJV) So Moses heeded the voice of his father-in-law and did all that he had said. + +### Observation + +Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, heard of the miraculous exit of Israel from Egypt, and came to meet them and to bring Moses his wife and children. While visiting Moses, Jethro noticed that his son-in-law would sit from sunrise to sunset listening to the people’s problems, providing guidance, and teaching them what God wanted them to know and do. Realizing that this approach would eventually wear out both Moses and the people, Jethro suggested a pan by which Moses would choose a number of people and delegate some of his responsibilities to them. This wise advice not only helped Moses and the Israelites, but has served as a pattern in many organizations, including the church so that all the burden and responsibility do not fall on the leaders shoulders alone but that it be shared with other capable leaders. + +### Application + +This story is very meaningful to me. I was blessed to have a most wonderful, generous, kind man for my father-in-law, a true gentleman, a very loving father, husband, and grandfather, a very patient, honest, and fair individual. From the very beginning, he opened not only his home but his heart to me and welcomed me into the family as if I had always been part of it. I remember that shortly after he was diagnosed with brain cancer he had an attorney draw up his will. We were visiting that weekend and he and I were at home alone when he showed me the will and asked for my opinion. Here was a man, many years my senior, asking me if I thought the way he had distributed his estate and how he made provision for his wife to be taken care of was fair and just (which I indeed thought it was). He didn’t need my opinion, but that act showed me how wise, respectful, polite, and kind he was to include me in one of the most important decisions of his life. For that cat, and many others, I will remember him with great admiration and respect. + +For some reason, mothers-in-law have always gotten a bad reputation and have been the recipients of many jokes and sarcastic remarks. I would imagine that just as there are some problematic mothers-in-law, there are many who are very good. My mother always spoke of her mother-in-law, my grandmother Cecilia, with the most positive, loving words of admiration and appreciation. Both my wife and I remember and speak of each other’s mom’s in the warmest of ways. While there are in-laws that may be more problematic than not, I wonder if more often than not the problem is with the son or daughter in law, maybe because of their immaturity, or maybe in their attempt to assert their independence and leadership in the home, that they feel threatened by the spouse’s parents and their attempts to be loving and helpful. It would be best if we can enjoy the love and wisdom of our parents and parents-in-law, and that we may maintain a warm relationship which will bless and benefit everyone involved. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, thank you for our spouse’s family and for their contributions to our life, future, and well-being.

Scripture

+> Just as you know how we were exhorting and encouraging and imploring each one of you as a father would his own children, 1 Thessalonians 2:11 (NASB) + +### Observation + +Paul likens the conduct of the missionaries to the loving, unselfish care of a nursing mother (v. 7), and he now compares their behavior to that of a father. What he implies here is that they trained and instructed the Thessalonians in the same way that a responsible father disciplines his children. The Greek work for children emphasizes the believers’ immaturity as well as the apostles’ affection for them.. + +### Application + +It is interesting to note the three words Paul uses here to show his fatherly love for his Thessalonian spiritual children: Exhort, encourage (or console), and urge (or implore). Each of these words have a different aspect of parenting. + +Exhorting: Webster’s online dictionary includes several definitions for this word which include to incite by argument or advice, to urge strongly, to give warnings or advice, or to make urgent appeals. + +The other two words are more commonly used in today’s language – console or encourage, and implore. + +Think of the times as parents when we have had to reprimand, discipline, or punish our children. The goal we have is not to be vindictive or vengeful with them but rather to “exhort” them to do better and act differently for their own benefit. No child enjoys being disciplined by his/her parents and they may even feel as if their parents do not love them at that moment – why else would they be treating them that way? That’s why consoling or encouraging them immediately following the application of discipline is so crucial for the well-being of the child. They need to be corrected but they also need to be assured of their father and mother’s love. + +Exhortation/discipline/correction has its place,. And consoling/encouragement also has it’s place, but they are not complete without the third element – imploring, which can also mean to urge or to charge them to do what is right. So the process of disciplining our children must involve these three steps or ingredients: + +- Correct them when they do wrong (exhort, punish, discipline) +- Console or encourage (or assure them of your love for them. . . a hug and loving, comforting words) +- Charge (implore or urge) them to do better next time. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, thank You because at times You have to discipline us, but You always do it with the greatest love and guidance.

Scripture

+> Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. Psalm 23:4 + +### Observation + +There are four words/expressions in the first part of this verse that are very significant: + +1. Though – the hope we have is that “even if” we have to experience death, God is with us. + +2. Walk through - which indicates that death is temporary, that is, we don’t remain dead forever. + +3. Shadow - Even the shadow of death is frightening, but it has no real power to harm us, at least permanently. As unpleasant and forbidding as death may be, ultimately it can’t do any real harm to the child of God. Henry T. Mahan writes: ‘… Christ has removed the substance of death and only a shadow remains. A shadow is there but cannot hurt or destroy.’ + +4. Valley - a valley is a deep place compared to the mountain peaks. That’s what makes death so painful and foreboding, that it brings us down to the lowest depths of feeling. At the same time, valleys are usually peaceful and tranquil, a place of peace and comfort. + +### Application + +We can apply these words of the psalmist to several situations: + +1. When we are diagnosed with a disease that could potentially end our life. When told of such disease we can plunge to the deepest, darkest recess of our feelings. The fear, dread, confusion, anger, denial – all drive us deeper than we’ve ever been + +2. When someone we love is diagnosed with such a disease. It is one thing that experience danger in our lives, but the closest we’ll ever get there is to know a loved one is going through that experience. In fact, for some of us, we’d rather be the ones dying that to loose a loved one to a terminal disease. + +3. When we loose a loved one to death. While we know that death is part of life, we still can’t accept the fact that it has taken one of our loved ones away from us. For some time, we plunge deep into that dark valley of dread, despair, and darkness. + +4. When we die. This is probably the easiest passage of all, because “the dead know not anything” (Eccl.9:5). + +The wonderful thing about this verse, is that it doesn’t end with the dark valley of death but rather with the promise that God is with us as we journey through it. Whether we or a loved one are diagnosed with a terminal disease, or if they die, or if we die, we’re never alone. God’s rod and staff – symbols of His power and authority, of His presence and guidance – they provide us with the hope and comfort we need to walk through that valley and come to the other side, to the valley of eternal life, with Him. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, Our gentle, Loving Shepherd, thank You that we don’t need to fear death because Jesus has conquered it. And thank You that even when we or our loved ones have to taste death it is simply a temporary state until Jesus the Conqueror of death calls us back to life eternal. Thank You, Father, for walking with us through that dark valley. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/12-june-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/12-june-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..d532356b1a --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/12-june-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Through The Darkest Valley +startDate: 06/12/2025 +endDate: 06/12/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/13-june-2025/13-june-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/13-june-2025/13-june-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..e9aee3506f --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/13-june-2025/13-june-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,38 @@ +--- +title: Race to the Finish Line +date: 06/13/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

+> Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. 25 And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. 26 Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. 27 But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified. 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 + +### Observation + +The Isthmian games, in which the foot race was a leading one, were of course well known, and a subject of patriotic pride to the Corinthians, who lived in the immediate neighborhood. These periodical games were to the Greeks rather a passion than a mere amusement: hence their suitableness as an image of Christian earnestness. + +So run, that ye may obtain—said parenthetically. These are the words in which the instructors of the young in the exercise schools (gymnasia) and the spectators on the race course exhorted their pupils to stimulate them to put forth all exertions. The gymnasium was a prominent feature in every Greek city. Every candidate had to take an oath that he had been ten months in training, and that he would violate none of the regulations (2Ti 2:5 compare 1Ti 4:7 8). He lived on a strict self-denying diet, refraining from wine and pleasant foods, and enduring cold and heat and most laborious discipline. The “prize” awarded by the judge or umpire was a chaplet of green leaves; at the Isthmus, those of the indigenous pine, for which parsley leaves were temporarily substituted (1Co 9:25. The Greek for “obtain” is fully obtain. It is in vain to begin, unless we persevere to the end (Mt 10:22 24:13; Rev 2:10). The “so” expresses, Run with such perseverance in the heavenly course, as “all” the runners exhibit in the earthly “race” just spoken of: to the end that ye may attain the prize.

Proper equipment – Although the equipment seems simple – a pair of tennis shoes, shorts, t-shirt – the right type of tennis shoes may make a world of difference. In marriage, the better the equipment we bring into a lasting relationship the greater the chances we will have that it will last a lifetime – family background, religious beliefs, maturity, education, etc. + +2. Proper preparation – Because two people are beginning a life together, proper preparation is essential to lasting success. During this preparation the couple can see what they have in common and what areas in which they need to make changes to adapt to their relationship. + +3. Proper attitude – A sprinter has a mind set to run as fast as possible. Some relationships today are like a sprint – short dating period, quick, engagement, a fast-and-furious wedding/honeymoon, and a quick divorce. A marathoner does not have a sprint in mind but a long, steady race. He/she knows it will take time to get to the end and that they need to pace themselves. + +4. Endurance - Marathon runners reach certain points in the race when the pain seems unbearable, when the heat or the cold makes it uncomfortable to run, where the hills make it extra challenging to continue, but they continue the race with perseverance and they endure ‘till the end. + +5. A single mind on the goal – marathon runners don’t get distracted with the crowd of people cheering or with the crowd of people running around them. They don’t think about what others say or think. These runners have one goal in mind, and that is to finish the race, to reach the goal, to make it to the end. + +6. A support team – While running is an individual sport, in reality runners need a support team – the ones that give them water along the way, the people that cheer them on, the ones that encourage them during their training, the ones that lift them up when they are too tired or weak or hurt to go on. In marriage, we not only need each other, but we need the support and encouragement of family, friends, and the religious community so we can go on to win the race together. + +The key in the marriage race is not to finish first or to be the best, but to run to the end. We will face ups and downs, days of discouragement and days of triumphs and joys, and through it all, we keep our eye on the final goal, to reach the finish line together. When we win that race, not only do we receive the crown, the satisfaction of having made a lifetime together, but our children also receive a lasting reward, the legacy of their parents marriage. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, Help us to run this race of marriage to the end.

John 15:15 + +### Observation + +Servants. Gr. douloi, singular doulos, often designating “slave,” here, perhaps, a servant with restricted status (see on ch. 8:34). A servant of this rank would be expected to obey blindly without being taken into the master’s counsels. Jesus had taken the disciples into His confidence and had revealed many things to them. The Holy Spirit would further enlighten them (ch. 14:26). Jesus was soon to leave them, and they were to labor on without His bodily presence. A weighty responsibility would be theirs. He wanted them to think of their relationship with Him as that of friends. Before, He had implied that they were servants (see ch. 13:16); now they were His friends. (The Seventh©day Adventist Bible Commentary, Volume 5. 1980 (F. D. Nichol, Ed.). Review and Herald Publishing Association.) + +### Application + +Jesus left us an example of what servant leadership is all about. While He is Lord, and we are His servants, His desires a relationship with as of friends, equals, everyone serving everyone else joyfully. + +Those who wish to assert their authority at home, expecting everyone in the family to serve them, while using certain Bible texts to prove that as the head of the household they should expect everyone else to submit to them, is neither a leader nor an example of Christ. + +It is also interesting to note that Jesus provides with an example of what a good ,healthy relationship should be – He calls it “friendship.” In marriage, if we are our spouses best friend, as they are to us, we will be able to maintain a positive, healthy relationship. Someone said that we should marry our best friend. While that is the ideal, one can also make of their spouse their best friend. + +A third lesson taken from this verse is the type of communication that must exist among friends – particularly if that friend is your spouse.

Scripture

+> Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: Prov 31:28 NIV + +### Observation + +The book of Proverbs closes with an acrostic poem describing an “excellent wife” or a “virtuous” wife. The woman described here is married and seeks the best for her husband (vv. 11–12). She is industrious and hard-working, she takes care of her household (vv. 15; 31:21–22; 31:27) and finds success in a variety of fields (vv. 13–14; 31:16–19). She is generous to the poor (v. 20) and teaches wisdom (v. 26). Her children and husband praise her because her excellence surpasses other women (vv. 28–29). Lastly, she fears Yahweh (v. 30) and should be publically recognized and praised (v. 31). + +### Application + +One of the things I fin interesting about this verse is how this woman is honored by those who know her best – her husband and her children. I love the words of Ellen G. White in the devotional “My Life Today,” “The home should be to the children the most attractive place in the world, and the mother’s presence should be its greatest attraction (p.197) + +How is it that these children call her blessed? I believe it has to do with the example of the husband, their father. Husbands can never give too much sincere praise to the one who spends her days in constant activity to make a good home. If he makes it his goal to honor her through words and actions, showing her the respect she deserves, supporting her decisions and opinions, treating her kindly and tenderly, his children will follow his example and treat her the same way. If, on the other hand, he is disrespectful, undermines her, makes fun of her, and in general treats her badly, his children will also begin to trat their mother that way. And by the way, this also become a generational malady – those children will treat their wife or spouse in the same demeaning way. + +The woman who is treated in a kind, loving, special way, as a tender being, will respond accordingly. When a husband mistreats, neglects, or abuses his wife, he quenches her spirit a little at a time which only drives him to expect more from her even as she wilts away. On the other hand, the husband that treats his wife like a daughter of God – respectfully, loving, patiently, supporting and encouraging her – is helping her to grow and flourish. As a result, he ends up with a better wife and mother and therefore with a better home and family life. These type of man, and his children, arise and call her blessed, and praise her regularly and plentifully, not only in appreciation for all she does, but in support of what she is, and the result is a woman that deserves their love and praise. It is a positive cycle of mutual love and praise. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, help me to show appreciation, love, and praise toward my spouse, to build them up, to encourage and support them, not only because it is the right thing to do, but because by doing so my children learn a good example and because we will reap the results of a loving, respectful home. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/15-june-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/15-june-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..2a5133e8ff --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/15-june-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: He Praises Her +startDate: 06/15/2025 +endDate: 06/15/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/16-june-2025/16-june-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/16-june-2025/16-june-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..e9fa2d59bb --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/16-june-2025/16-june-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,30 @@ +--- +title: Put Away Lying +date: 06/16/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra_ + +>

Scripture

+> Therefore, putting away lying, "Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor," for we are members of one another. Ephesians 4:25 + +### Observation + +The original Greek is very emphatic - “having put away” once for all. The decision to put away lying should not be temporary or only when it is convenient to do so. + +“Speak ye truth each one with his neighbor,” is quoted, slightly changed, from Zec 8:16. For “to,” Paul quotes it “with,” to mark our inner connection with one another, as “members one of another” [Stier]. Not merely members of one body. Union to one another in Christ, not merely the external command, instinctively leads Christians to fulfil mutual duties. One member could not injure or deceive another, without injuring himself, as all have a mutual and common interest. (Jamieson, R., Fausset, A. R., & Brown, D. (1997). Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible. Oak Harbor, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc.) + +### Application + +Lying has become part of the life of some spouse, even if they don’t like doing it. Sometimes spouses say “little white lies” to each other because they do not want to “hurt” the other person. He will not let his wife know that he didn’t like the meal she cooked so lovingly for him. She won’t tell him that she really doesn’t enjoy sitting an entire afternoon watching sports. He will not tell her his honest feelings or opinion when she asks “do I look fat in this dress?”, even if he thinks so. She will not tell him she does not appreciate him spending so much time at work, or with his buddies. . . if she told him, she thinks, I’m being selfish and unappreciative. + +One of the most important emotional needs for women is the need for honesty and openness. She doesn’t want to feel that her husband is not being truthful, that he’s lying about something, that he’s hiding something. She wants to know what he’s thinking and feeling. She wants to have the assurance that when he tells her he will be someplace he will be there. + +No matter how small the lie may be, it creates a barrier which prevents complete, true intimacy from taking place. It makes the person who told the lie, or withheld the truth, defensive, careful with his words lest he be found out. It is so much easier and better to have no secrets between spouses, to always speak the truth so there’s never a fear of a secret slipping out at the wrong moment. Paul’s words are very wise and applicable to marital relationships. When we don’t speak the truth to each other we not only hurt our spouse, we hurt our relationship, and because we are members of the common relationship we end up hurting ourselves. + +Put away lying once and for all! It’s best for your spouse, it’s best for your relationship, it’s best for you! + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, help me that no lie may ever cross my lips, specially as I speak to my spouse. Help us that our conversation may always be truthful and honest for by so doing our intimacy grows, we are closer together, and we honor You, the God of all truth. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/16-june-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/16-june-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..c464d41907 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/16-june-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Put Away Lying +startDate: 06/16/2025 +endDate: 06/16/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/17-june-2025/17-june-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/17-june-2025/17-june-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..0d26de15d2 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/17-june-2025/17-june-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,22 @@ +--- +title: Respect the Unmarried +date: 06/17/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> (Exo 22:16-17 NKJV) "If a man entices a virgin who is not betrothed, and lies with her, he shall surely pay the bride-price for her to be his wife. {17} "If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the bride-price of virgins. + +### Observation + +This section begins a series of civil regulations for the newly freed Israelites as they begin to form their nation, under God. This section talks about the abuse of a virgin girl or simply taking advantage of the youth and naivete of a young girl to take sexual advantage of her. Perhaps Matthew Henry, in his commentary, explains it better, “Here is, I. A law that he who debauched a young woman should be obliged to marry her, v. 16, 17. If she was betrothed to another, it was death to debauch her (Deu. 22:23, 24); but the law here mentioned respects her as single. But, if the father refused her to him, he was to give satisfaction in money for the injury and disgrace he had done her. This law puts an honour upon marriage and shows likewise how improper a thing it is that children should marry without their parents’ consent: even here, where the divine law appointed the marriage, both as a punishment to him that had done wrong and a recompense to her that had suffered wrong, yet there was an express reservation for the father’s power; if he denied his consent, it must be no marriage.” + +### Application + +While women didn’t seem to enjoy the equality with men that God designed, God did not want men to simply take advantage of the young and vulnerable. That’s the reason why there are so many regulations regarding the orphan and the widow, and in our text for today, a virgin girl. While girls could marry at an early age, they were to follow the regular customs regarding courtship, betrothal, engagement, and marriage, and men were not to simply take advantage of a young girl without having taken all the steps necessary to protect her and ensure her physical and financial protection. While today there is a minimum age at which a person, particularly a girl, can be married, we must also ensure that the young and vulnerable are not taken advantage of, particularly sexually. We should also be careful not to encourage early dating as the level of maturity of one or both can become a great disadvantage to a healthy relationship. This also teaches that young people must listen to their parents in these matters instead of going against their wishes and advice. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Loving Father, thank You for Your care and concern for the young and vulnerable, and for reminding us that marriage and sex are to be cared for in a sacred manner. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/17-june-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/17-june-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..81cc5dde79 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/17-june-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Respect the Unmarried +startDate: 06/17/2025 +endDate: 06/17/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/18-june-2025/18-june-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/18-june-2025/18-june-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..7052a9af7d --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/18-june-2025/18-june-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,54 @@ +--- +title: The Example of a Godly Father +date: 06/18/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment, 2 a devout man and one who feared God with all his household, who gave alms generously to the people, and prayed to God always. Acts 10:1-2 + +### Observation + +Cornelius was a Roman centurion, in charge of a 100 man company. He was not Jewish, but had come to believe in God. What is interesting is that not only was he a believer, but so did his entire household which included his wife and children, but also other relatives and even his servants as can be found throughout this chapter of Acts. Ellen White writes: “Believing in God as the Creator of heaven and earth, Cornelius revered Him, acknowledged His authority, and sought His counsel in all the affairs of life. He was faithful to Jehovah in his home life and in his official duties. He had erected the altar of God in his home, for he dared not attempt to carry out his plans or to bear his responsibilities without the help of God” (The Acts of the Apostles, p. 133). + +Because of His generosity and devout spirit, God sent His angel to tell him to send for Peter. At the same time, God sent peter a vision which would teach him that God does not make racial or ethnic distinctions but offers His grace and salvation to all people. + +The result of Peter’s visit to Cornelius’ household was that they were all baptized. + +### Application + +The life of Cornelius is a powerful example of the results of the influence of a man in his house. Ellen White describes him as, “a man of wealth and noble birth, and his position was one of trust and honor. A heathen by birth, training, and education, through contact with the Jews he had gained a knowledge of God, and he worshiped Him with a true heart, showing the sincerity of his faith by compassion to the poor. He was known far and near for his beneficence, and his righteous life made him of good repute among both Jews and Gentiles. His influence was a blessing to all with whom he came in contact” (Ibid.) (Emphasis supplied). + +Research has now shown how important it is that fathers spend time with their children, reading with and to them. Those children, whose fathers read to them, have better language skills and therefore do better in school. + +Fatherless children experience some of the greatest challenges of any children. Here is just a sample of what the statistics show: + +- **Incarceration Rates.** "Young men who grow up in homes without fathers are twice as likely to end up in jail as those who come from traditional two-parent families...those boys whose fathers were absent from the household had double the odds of being incarcerated -- even when other factors such as race, income, parent education and urban residence were held constant." (Cynthia Harper of the University of Pennsylvania and Sara S. McLanahan of Princeton University cited in "Father Absence and Youth Incarceration." Journal of Research on Adolescence 14 (September 2004): 369-397.) + +- **Suicide.** 63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes (Source: What Can the Federal Government Do To Decrease Crime and Revitalize Communities? - see link below) + +- **Behavioral Disorders.** 85% of all children that exhibit behavioral disorders come from fatherless homes (Source: What Can the Federal Government Do To Decrease Crime and Revitalize Communities? - see link below) + +- **High School Dropouts.** 71% of all high school dropouts come from fatherless homes (Source: What Can the Federal Government Do To Decrease Crime and Revitalize Communities? - see link below) + +- **Educational Attainment.** Kids living in single-parent homes or in step-families report lower educational expectations on the part of their parents, less parental monitoring of school work, and less overall social supervision than children from intact families. (N.M. Astore and S. McLanahan, American Sociological Review, No. 56 (1991) + +- **Juvenile Detention Rates.** 70% of juveniles in state-operated institutions come from fatherless homes (Source: What Can the Federal Government Do To Decrease Crime and Revitalize Communities? - see link below) + +- **Confused Identities.** Boys who grow up in father-absent homes are more likely that those in father-present homes to have trouble establishing appropriate sex roles and gender identity.(P.L. Adams, J.R. Milner, and N.A. Schrepf, Fatherless Children, New York, Wiley Press, 1984). + +- **Aggression.** In a longitudinal study of 1,197 fourth-grade students, researchers observed "greater levels of aggression in boys from mother-only households than from boys in mother-father households." (N. Vaden-Kierman, N. Ialongo, J. Pearson, and S. Kellam, "Household Family Structure and Children's Aggressive Behavior: A Longitudinal Study of Urban Elementary School Children," Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology 23, no. 5 (1995). + +- **Achievement.** Children from low-income, two-parent families outperform students from high-income, single-parent homes. Almost twice as many high achievers come from two-parent homes as one-parent homes. (One-Parent Families and Their Children, Charles F. Kettering Foundation, 1990). + +- **Delinquency.** Only 13 percent of juvenile delinquents come from families in which the biological mother and father are married to each other. By contract, 33 percent have parents who are either divorced or separated and 44 percent have parents who were never married. (Wisconsin Dept. of Health and Social Services, April 1994). + +- **Criminal Activity.** The likelihood that a young male will engage in criminal activity doubles if he is raised without a father and triples if he lives in a neighborhood with a high concentration of single-parent families. Source: A. Anne Hill, June O'Neill, Underclass Behaviors in the United States, CUNY, Baruch College. 1993 + +All these (and there is much more information on fatherless children) should be a sobering reminder to fathers of the important role they play in their children’s lives. But we also need to be reminded of the critical role fathers play in their children’s spiritual life. It is through the life and example of their fathers that children come to know and love God. If the fathers fail to live a godly life, the chances that their children will follow God are greatly reduced and in many cases it may not even happen. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, awaken in us as fathers and mothers the importance of living a life worthy of Your calling, knowing that our life and example will determine whether our children will learn to trust You, love you, and follow You.

+> For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith. Romans 12:3 + +### Observation + +There is a play on the words in the Greek text translated, “Not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think.” This play on words can be paraphrased this way: “do not to be high-minded above that which you ought to be minded, but be so minded as to be sober-minded.” To himself, every man is in a sense the most important person in the world, and it always needs much grace to see what other people are, and to keep a sense of moral proportion. + +### Application + +This conflict between the sexes came into humanity as a result of the sin Adam and Eve committed at the very beginning. God told them that among the results of their rebellion, there would be this struggle over supremacy of one toward the other (Gen. 3:16). In some societies, women have ruled over men ans that society has become matriarchal. . . the major decisions are made by the women of the community.

Looking down on others is another way of saying that we think high of ourselves than they are. On the contrary, says Paul, remember how God has dealt with each one of us, how he has extended his grace and mercy toward us. The very least we should do is to extend the same grave and mercy toward our loved ones. Before God, none of us are better or higher than anybody else. Paul says that, “All have sinned and have come short of the glory of God” (Rom 3:23). There is no such thing as a better sinner, or a less bad sinner. . . all have sinned!

+> For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; (Colossians 1:9) + +### Observation + +It seems like there was a want of knowledge among the Colossians, which is why he so often dwells on this subject (Col 1:28; Col 2:2, 3). On the contrary he less extols wisdom to the Corinthians, who were puffed up with the conceit of knowledge. + +Wisdom is often mentioned in this Epistle, as opposed to the (false) “philosophy” and “show of wisdom” (Col 2:8, 23; compare Eph 1:8). + +Uunderstanding means a sagacity to discern what on each occasion is suited to the place and the time; its seat is “the understanding” or intellect; wisdom is more general and has its seat in the whole compass of the faculties of the person. But knowledge is desirable only when it is seasoned by “spiritual understanding.” + +### Application + +What would we want for those you love most? Money, prestige, power, fame? Or maybe health, protection, success? Paul suggests we pray, first of all, that they may be filled with the knowledge of God’s will. How often our children come to us for help, guidance, or advice, and they tell us, “I just wish I knew what to do!” Well, so do we! We wish we knew what would be best for them in every instance. So what if we prayed that our loved ones would be so filled with the knowledge of God’s will that they would live their life according to that will! + +If you knew that every member of your family knew the will of God for their lives, wouldn't you be filled with peace and joy for them?

You can slo compare how Paul uses this word in other places: I Thess. 2:12; Phil. 1:27; Eph. 4:1 + +Noah Webster's New International Dictionary of the English Language offers several definitions of the word “worthy:” + +1. (n.) Having worth or excellence; possessing merit; valuable; deserving; estimable; excellent; virtuous. + +2. (n.) Having suitable, adapted, or equivalent qualities or value; -- usually with of before the thing compared or the object; more rarely, with a following infinitive instead of, or with that; as, worthy of, equal in excellence, value, or dignity to; entitled to; meriting; -- usually in a good sense, but sometimes in a bad one. + +3. (n.) of high station; of high social position. + +4. (n.) A man of eminent worth or value; one distinguished for useful and estimable qualities; a person of conspicuous desert; -- much used in the plural; as, the worthies of the church; political worthies; military worthies. (http://bibledictionaries.com/worthy.htm) + +### Application + +According to language scholar Kenneth Wuest, the word “worthy” in this verse of Colossians is a word which is best translated as “weight.” What you are praying according to this admonition then, is that your family members walk (go about their lives) each day in such a manner that their words and actions “carry weight.” + +When we pray for a loved one that they walk worthy of the Lord, we are asking Him to help them is their conduct so that they demonstrate the character of Christ and everyone who meets them knows that their word, their life carries weight, that it is not easily moved by the winds of fashion, or opinion, or peer pressure. + +In old days, people would make an agreement by either a simple handshake or at times a verbal agreement. That small action carried all the weight of their character, of their family’s name and reputation. Those who made that type of agreement would sooner die than to fail to make good on their word. They would say things like “my word is as good as money.” + +Nowadays a person’s name, word, or handshake does not carry the same weight as a legal contract, and there are many who don’t even respect the agreement made in such a document. + +Stop to pray right now that those you love most – your spouse, your children, other relatives, friends – may be walk, may life in such a worthy manner that their life, their word be respected and appreciated by others. . . that it may carry weight. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, bless my child (husband/wife) that they may walk is such a way before You that their character of integrity may be reflected in their words and actions. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/21-june-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/21-june-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..9d90c30e34 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/21-june-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: "Seven Prayer Requests: To Walk Worthy" +startDate: 06/21/2025 +endDate: 06/21/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/22-june-2025/22-june-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/22-june-2025/22-june-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..f7f9ddb248 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/22-june-2025/22-june-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,30 @@ +--- +title: "Seven Prayer Requests: Live Fruitful Lives" +date: 06/22/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

This fruitbearing and increasing is to be, not in the knowledge of God, since the latter is the motivating energy which produces the former, but by means of the knowledge of God. + +### Application + +One of the images we find in the Bible is that of being rooted to illustrate being grounded in God’s Word. A person who is grounded in God is compared to a tree: “He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper” Psalm 1:3 (NKJV). The prophet Isaiah speaks of the remnant of God who are very fruitful because their roots go down deep: “And the remnant who have escaped of the house of Judah Shall again take root downward, And bear fruit upward” Isaiah 37:31 (NKJV). + +We can pray that our spouse and children be successful in life.

We can pray that the time and effort they have put forth in their studies will pay off in the form of good grades, and that they will graduate, and that they will have employment in the career they have chosen. We can pray that their business venture or their investments will pay off. But most importantly, we must pray daily that they may have a spiritually fruitful life through effort and sacrifice which will ultimately become a blessing to others. + +Some young people have decided to dedicate their time and talent to bless others in countries where the need is great and the means meager. They have gone to teach, as student missionaries, and given at least one year of their lives to learn about a different culture at the same time as they teach about God. Many have returned as missionaries in the medical fields, as educators, as builders, and doing many other things to improve the quality of life in countries where good health or education is not readily available. These young people, and some older ones too, may not be rich in worldly goods, as some of their contemporaries; at the same time, they can see so much tangible proof of their good, unselfish, dedicated work in the lives of people who may not even be alive were it not for their dedication and commitment. + +But you don’t have to go to the mission field or outside of the country in order to bear good fruit. There are many people close to where we live, in our neighborhood, at work, at school, who would benefit greatly from the love and service of dedicated Christians.

Scripture

+> Increasing in the knowledge of God. Colossians 1:10 + +### Observation + +“Knowledge” is _epignsis_ (πιγνωσις). The word is an advance upon _gnsis_ (γνωσις) (knowledge) in that it denotes a larger and more thorough knowledge. It is a knowledge which grasps and penetrates into an object. Paul prays that all the saints might become possessors of this knowledge, indicating that it was open for all to appropriate, not a secret mystery into which only a favored few could be initiated. Paul prays that they not only might have it but that they might be filled with it. His petition is that the Colossian saints might be filled with a thorough knowledge of God’s will. + +### Application + +The intent of this prayer is not that we should have a lot of knowledge about facts and information, as if in order to win a trivia contest of sorts. The intent is that we may be not just acquainted with a certain number or all of the Biblical doctrines. The intent, rather is that we may be filled with the knowledge of God Himself. To know Him intimately, not just as a theory or principle. + +Some people study and investigate a subject they are passionate about. Archaeologists spend hours, days, months, and even years excavating ruins in a place so they can uncover its past and better understand the culture that lived there. Researchers devote themselves to finding the cause and the cure for a disease. Athletes devote their lives to perfecting their skills in order to win championships, to establish records, to make history. + +What Paul says we should pray for is that our loved ones have that type of desire, and commitment, and passion for a personal relationship with God. + +God wants to have an intimate relationship with each of His children.

Scripture

+> “Strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power. . .” Colossians 1:11 + +### Observation + +The radical idea of might, is that of indwelling strength, especially as embodied: might which inheres in physical powers organized and working under individual direction, as an army: which appears in the resistance of physical organisms, as the earth, against which one dashes himself in vain: which dwells in persons or things, and gives them influence or value: which resides in laws or punishments to make them irresistible. This sense comes out clearly in the New Testament in the use of the word and of its cognates. Thus, “Love the Lord thy God with all thy strength” (Mark 12:30): “according to the working of his mighty power” (Eph. 1:19). The kindred adjective is used in other places in the New Testament and translated differently but with a similar sense: “A strong man” (Matt. 12:29): a mighty famine (Luke 15:14): his letters are powerful (2 Cor. 10:10): a strong consolation (Heb. 6:18): a mighty angel (Apoc. 18:21). Also the verb σχω. “It is good for nothing” (Matt. 5:13): “shall not be able” (Luke 13:24): “I can do all things” (Philip. 4:13): “availeth much” (Jas. 5:16). + +### Application + +One of the challenges that sometimes parents face is with children who are, as James Dobson describes, “strong-willed children.” These are the children who have a mind of their own and who seem to want to run the opposite way to where their parents want them to go. A dictionary definition might be obstinate, stubborn, which have negative connotations. + +Let’s think of a more positive side to strong-willed. Someone strong-willed doesn’t give up easily. A strong-willed person is determined. Your will is your desire or drive to do something, so a strong-willed person is someone with a powerful will – that is a good thing!. At the same time, it can be a bad thing. For instance, a child who insists on going outside in the rain and throws a temper tantrum unless he/she gets his/her way is strong-willed in a stubborn way. Someone with deep beliefs, who can stand up to the crowd, who will not be swayed by his/her peers is strong-willed in a better way. A hero, someone who shows courage, someone who fights for what is right, is also strong-willed. You have to be strong-willed to stand up for what you believe, particularly during difficult situations. + +Dallas Cowboys coach Tom Landry used to say, “Don't pray for an easy life. Pray to be a strong person.” This is exactly what Scripture is admonishing here. Pray each day that your family will be able to make tough decisions based on God's principles and will be able to remain strong and mighty. + +Instead of praying that your child have a soft, easy, mellow personality, pray that they will be strong in their convictions, mighty in their beliefs, powerful in their conscience, mean and women of valor for God. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, while it might be easier to raise a child who is compliant, I pray that my child will be strong in the face of temptation and sin, mighty as they speak and live for You, and courageous even when the consequences may be painful for them. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/25-june-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/25-june-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..87c60100e9 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/25-june-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: "Seven Prayer Requests: That They Will Be Strong and Mighty" +startDate: 06/25/2025 +endDate: 06/25/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/26-june-2025/26-june-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/26-june-2025/26-june-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..54bf56b577 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/26-june-2025/26-june-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,26 @@ +--- +title: "Seven Prayer Requests: That They Will Be Patient, Persistent, and Joyous" +date: 06/26/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> Strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy. Colossians 1:11 + +### Observation + +Spiritual strength is a third factor that results from knowing God’s will and pleasing Him. Being strengthened with all power according to His glorious might includes three words for strength: “being strengthened” is dynamoumenoi; “power” is dynamei, spiritual vitality; and “might” is kratos (“power that overcomes resistance”; used only of God in the NT). This God-given strength produces great endurance and patience. This endurance (trans. “perseverance” in James 1:3) was exemplified by Job (James 5:11). To this endurance Paul added “patience,” a word generally connected with gentleness and calm sweetness (as in 1 Cor. 13:4). Endurance and patience are often associated (cf. 2 Cor. 6:4, 6; 2 Tim. 3:10; James 5:10–11). Endurance (hypomon, lit., a “remaining under”) implies not easily succumbing under suffering; and patience (makrothymia, lit., “long temper”; cf. Col. 3:12) means self-restraint which does not hastily retaliate. A lack of endurance often results in despondency or losing heart, whereas a lack of patience often leads to wrath or revenge (cf. Prov. 15:18; 16:32). (Walvoord, J. F., Zuck, R. B., & Dallas Theological Seminary. (1985). The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures. Wheaton, IL: Victor Books.) + +### Application + +One of the lessons our children must learn early in life is that of delayed gratification. When we quickly give in to our child’s every whim and desire, we’re only teaching them that they will always get what they want and do not need to exercise any patience whatsoever. On the other hand, when we teach our children from the time they are small that there are times when they need to wait, we are really teaching them several of the three things mentioned in the text for today. + +Here’s an example. When your child asks for a toy, particularly one that costs a fair amount of money, you can make an agreement with your child that if they save a certain amount of money toward that toy, you will help them with the final percentage. For instance, “If you save from your allowance until you have 80% of the cost, I will help you out with the final 20%.” This teaches them to both be patient AND persistent. If they truly want something, they can work toward that goal. If they don’t want it that bad, they will probably give up a lot earlier before reaching the goal. But if they persist, and save the agreed on amount, one of several things will take place. In some cases, by the time they have saved that amount they have changed their mind and either don’t want that anymore or they may want something different. But if they do persist in having what they have saved for, once they get it they will experience greater joy (which is the third thing from our verse) than if they had simply received it the moment they asked you for it. + +So, don’t answer every request immediately. Instead, work with them, and pray that they will be patient, persistent, and at the end joyous. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, bless my children that as they work to fulfill their wishes they may be patient, they may work toward their goal and be persistent, and that they may have the joy that accompanies reaching a long-awaited goal. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/26-june-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/26-june-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..2d885cb84b --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/26-june-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: "Seven Prayer Requests: That They Will Be Patient, Persistent, and Joyous" +startDate: 06/26/2025 +endDate: 06/26/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/27-june-2025/27-june-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/27-june-2025/27-june-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..208e0f0bf6 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/27-june-2025/27-june-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,34 @@ +--- +title: "Seven Prayer Requests: That They Will Express Thanks for Having Been Redeemed" +date: 06/27/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Colossians 1:12-14 + +### Observation + +Thankfulness, a fourth result of following God’s will and pleasing Him, is a keynote in the spiritual life. Believers are urged elsewhere by Paul, “Give thanks in all circumstances” (1 Thes. 5:18) and to come before God “in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving” (Phil. 4:6). Four other times in Colossians (3:15–17; 4:2) Paul enjoined believers to be grateful. Joyfulness too is part of the fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22), made possible by the gospel (cf. Isa. 29:19; John 16:20; Acts 13:52). + +### Application + +As spouses and parents, we need to cultivate a spirit of gratitude and thankfulness. If you’re not already doing it, begin by expressing thanks for even the smallest, simplest things your spouse or children do – mow the lawn, make supper, pick up toys, open the door of the car, took garbage out, etc. We should never take each other for granted nor should we take for granted what the others do as if it was their obligation. + +What is important as well is that when we develop a spirit of gratitude for the common, simple things in daily life we will also grow to appreciate even more all that God has done for us.

That we have been redeemed through the shedding of His blood, and our sins are forgiven and never remembered anymore. (V.14) + +2.

Scripture

+> Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. Ephesians 4:29 + +### Observation + +The word “corrupt” in the original Greek language of the New Testament literally means “insipid,” without “the salt of grace” (Col 4:6), and therefore worthless and then becoming corrupt.: this includes “foolish talking” (Eph 5:4). Its opposite is “that which is good to edifying.” + +### Application + +I just received this from a friend: + +A young disciple of a wise man once asked him, “Master, a friend was speaking ill about you.” + +“Stop!” interrupted the wise man; “Have you made sure that what you’re about to tell me has passed through the three doors?” + +“The three doors?” + +“Yes. The first door is TRUTH. Are you sure that what you’re going to tell me is absolutely true?” + +“No. Y heard it from some neighbors.” + +“Well, at least you have made your information go through the door GOODNESS. Will what you’re going to tell be good to me or anybody else?” + +“No, not really. . . the opposite.” + +“The last door is NECESSARY. Is it necessary for me to know what bothers you so much?” + +“Actually, no.” + +“Therefore,” said the wise man smiling, “If it’s not TRUE, or GOOD, or NECESSARY, let’s buried it in forgetfulness.” + +When it comes to our relationships with our spouse, loved ones, or friends, we must remember that words can do much harm, so we must think carefully what we’re going to say before doing it. Someone wrote: “You are a slave of the things you say, but Lord of the words you don’t.” It is easier to hold the words we have not said than to bring back those that have already come out of our mouth. The apostle Paul reminds us of the importance of saying only words that serve for the edification and encouragement of others. Think of what positive things you can say to and about your spouse that will affirm them, encourage them, strengthen them. Think of what you can do to help your children develop a good strong sense of self. Most importantly, think of what you can say to your loved ones and others that will help them experience God’s grace in their lives.

+> Woe to those who join house to house; They add field to field, Till there is no place Where they may dwell alone in the midst of the land! 9 In my hearing the LORD of hosts said, "Truly, many houses shall be desolate, Great and beautiful ones, without inhabitant. Isaiah 5:8-9 + +### Observation + +Woe. Six “woes” (vv. 8, 11, 18, 20, 21, 22) are introduced by the Hebrew particle translated as “woe” or “alas.” They function as warning devices. They clearly intensify the force of the condemnation to exile. The charges against God’s people are as follows: they do not pay attention to the Lord; they have rejected the law of the Lord of hosts and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel; they call evil good and good evil; and they are engaged in sin. The evils God judges in this setting are greed (first woe); self indulgence (second woe); moral perversion (third woe); delusions of grandeur (fourth woe); self indulgence and the resulting social abuses (fifth and sixth woes). + +### Application + +One of the most interesting stories that Jesus taught sprang from a question put to him: "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me." Luke 12:13 (NKJV) How many families have fallen apart because one took more than their share and another felt they didn’t get enough. Arguments, fights, lawsuits, and even murder have resulted from wanting a larger piece of the inheritance. + +But Jesus’ response put the desire for more into a proper perspective: Then he told them this story: "The farm of a certain rich man produced a terrific crop. 17 He talked to himself: 'What can I do? My barn isn't big enough for this harvest.' 18 Then he said, 'Here's what I'll do: I'll tear down my barns and build bigger ones. Then I'll gather in all my grain and goods, 19 and I'll say to myself, Self, you've done well! You've got it made and can now retire. Take it easy and have the time of your life!' 20 "Just then God showed up and said, 'Fool! Tonight you die. And your barnful of goods—who gets it?' 21 "That's what happens when you fill your barn with Self and not with God." Luke 12:16-21 (MSG) + +I just saw this interesting story today which helps us to put Jesus’ words into a different perspective: A man gave orders to do three things upon his death: + +(1) That his coffin be carried by the best doctors of the time. (2) That the treasures he had would be scattered along the way to his grave. (3) That his hands would be left outside the coffin in the sight of all. + +Amazed someone ask him the reason for his requests. He explained: + +(1) I want the most eminent doctors carrying my coffin to show that they don’t have the power to heal. (2) I want the road to be covered with my treasures so everyone can see that whatever material goods you accumulate on earth stay on earth. (3) I want my hands out of the coffin so that people can see that we were born empty-handed and we die empty-handed. . . when you die, you cannot take anything material with you. + +We can leave our families money and material things; those could help them establish their own future.

+> "Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2:4 + +### Observation + +As an introduction to the woeful taunt-songs Habakkuk was instructed to record, God gave His summary condemnation of the conceited character of the Babylonian: He is puffed up. Like a bloated toad, these arrogant people hopped along toward destruction. They were swollen with evil passions. Their desires were not upright. (Walvoord, J. F., Zuck, R. B., & Dallas Theological Seminary. (1985). The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures. Wheaton, IL: Victor Books.) + +### Application + +The image that is painted in the above commentary is very interesting: “Like a bloated toad, these arrogant people hopped along toward destruction.” When two people marry, there is a normal, automatic tension. Each person, because of their family of origin, tends to want to pull his/her spouse in the direction in which they were raised. . . they want to live in the way they were accustomed to, to follow the patterns they observed in their family as they were growing up. When those patterns were good and healthy, that can be a good, solid basis for building a new home. The problems begin when one or both partners had faulty, or even unhealthy families of origin and each wants the other to follow the same patterns. Tension and conflict will be the result. + +The next issue that normally arises our of that tension, and conflict, is an unwillingness to recognize wrongdoing. Pride takes over and one or neither is willing to admit that those patterns set during their upbringing are bad. They feel that if the other person is not willing to accept their family of origin’s patterns they are in reality attacking them, or at the very least rejecting them. They rise up to defend their family and initiate an attack on their partner’s family. + +While this tension, and resulting conflict, are natural in the process of adapting to life together, the biggest issue arises when one or both are unwilling to recognize their contribution to their problems and proudly stand their ground, even if it is not good, or even if it’s detrimental to the relationship. “Like a bloated toad, these arrogant people hop along toward destruction.” Consciously or unconsciously they run toward the precipice taking their family with them until they plunge together into the death of their relationship. + +Habakkuk offers a much better solution for you and for your family: “The just shall live by his faith.” Set aside pride and arrogance and live with the knowledge of God’s presence in your life and in your marriage and learn to depend on Him to help you form a healthy relationship. When the horizon looks dark, let Him be your sunshine. When the ground seems shaky, let Him be your rock. When the storms of conflict and strife arrive in your marriage, let Him come and bring you peace. Instead of hopping along toward the destruction of your marriage, walk with God by faith so you and your family will have life, and life abundant. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, come live in our lives, in our marriage, in our family and eradicate all pride and sin from our relationship that we may live and not die. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/30-june-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/30-june-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..f73c66d447 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/30-june-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Twenty-one Days to a Habit +startDate: 06/30/2025 +endDate: 06/30/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/section.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/section.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..06e380243f --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/06-june-2025/section.yml @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +title: June 2025 \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/01-july-2025/01-july-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/01-july-2025/01-july-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..a6335e1d53 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/01-july-2025/01-july-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,34 @@ +--- +title: Always Burning +date: 07/01/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

To that effect, the priest would go in and replenish the oil and the wicks and ensure that its fire would never go out. After the destruction of the temple, the Jewish people found some oil for the lamps and immediately got the light going again while at the same time preparing the special oil to continue the shining of its light and hoping the oil they had found would last until a new batch would be ready. According to their story, the fire lasted long enough, nine days; the celebration was great and indeed gave way to the beginning of the annual commemoration of that event through the festival of Hanukkah. + +### Application + +It is important that in marriage and in the home the light always be burning.

Scripture

+> The word of the Lord came to Jonah son of Amittai: 2Go at once to Nineveh, that great city, and proclaim judgment upon it; for their wickedness has come before Me. 3Jonah, however, started out to flee to Tarshish from the Lord’s service. He went down to Joppa and found a ship going to Tarshish. He paid the fare and went aboard to sail with the others to Tarshish, away from the service of the Lord. + +### Observation + +The Jewish Study Bible makes a couple of interesting observations about these texts: + +1. Jonah found a ship “coming from Tarshish” rather than “going to Tarshish,” as usually translated. 2. Many scholars accept the translation “he paid the fare” but there is a good reason to prefer “he paid its hire” (that is, he hired the ship and its sailors). In other words, he was “lucky” to find a ship just coming to port and hastened so much that he hired everyone so as to leave for the sea on the spot. + +### Application + +There seems to be this human tendency to want to do the opposite of what God wants us to do. When God instructed Adam and Eve to offer animal sacrifices as a lesson and as a promise of the sacrifice of Jesus for our sins, Cain offered the fruit of the land instead. When God told the Israelites shortly after leaving Egypt to go in and take over the land He was giving them, they told Him they would not go in because they were afraid of the giants there. So then God told them they would not go in for forty years and instead they tried to go in and were routed by the people living there. + +It seems as if in dating and marriage people many continue with this rebellious attitude. God already has certain guidelines, such as “Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers” (2 Cor. 6:14). And yet hundred upon hundreds totally disregard His guidance and enter into such relationships only to find themselves disillusioned, frustrated, alone, and often divorced. + +It is often the same case in marriage. When the romantic feelings seem absent from their relationship many want to flee back to the single life or worse into the arms of somebody else. I often hear words such as “Don’t I have the right to be happy?” or “I made a mistake marrying hi/her.” If, however, God has given you your spouse as His mission to you, it is no mistake and we can abandon our ministry to them. It is interesting that Jonah received a command from God to go “at once to Nineveh,” and instead he at once went the opposite direction. + +Once you have married a person, and are having some conflict, challenges, or difficulties in your relationship, instead of thinking of leaving, answer God’s call to help prepare your spouse for the soon second coming of Jesus (Eph. 5:25-26), don’t run away from God’s service, fulfill your God-given duties, do it joyfully and lovingly (1 Cor 13), and He will reward your efforts with a better relationship or at the very least with the clear conscience of having done all for Him as He asked. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, at times we have taken our marriage as a convenient estate in life instead as a relationship which reflects that which we should have with You.

+> Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. Psalm 136:1 + +### Observation + +The words “His mercy endures forever” are a key phrase which occurs 26 times in this poem in reference to God’s goodness. The word translated “mercy” is Hessed, which means, “divine love” “compassion,” or “steadfast love.” + +### Application + +I supposed if we sang this psalm today it would be like a praise chorus or a responsive reading with the same words repeated again and again. There’s probably a good reason for this repetition. Sometimes we forget or take for granted God’s abundant mercy and His steadfast love for us – He simply will not give up on us! The psalmist had experienced God’s overflowing mercy and expressed it repeatedly as a reminder to others, maybe even to himself. + +I wonder if the psalmist also had in mind to teach us as married couples, as parents, as children, as families that we need to experience that steadfast love, that overflowing mercy, so that we can then extend it to our spouse, our children, our parents, our family! We seem to find it easier to practice judgment, and are critical and unforgiving with our spouse’s mistakes. We are impatient with our children when they do the opposite of what we want them to do. As our parents age and their health begins to deteriorate we become frustrated – some even become abusive. This psalm speaks to us, urging us to give thanks to God that His steadfast love, His abundant mercy, his overwhelming compassion, and to extend the same to our loved ones When we do, not only do we experience God in our lives but we become the extension of His love toward our loved ones who are also His children. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, thank You for your mercy and love for us which last forever.

Jonah 1:12 + +### Observation + +God sent Jonah to go immediately to Nineveh, but instead of following God’s command Jonah, immediately, went the opposite direction. He evidently hired a ship to take him far from God’s appointed ministry, but while on this journey a storm arose that threaten to capside the ship and throw everyone overboard and to their death. When it was discovered that Jonah was the culprit for this storm, Jonah told them to throw him overboard. . . to Jonah, assisted suicide was easier to bear than the hard work of speaking for God. + +The Jewish Study Bible explains: “Jonah probably thought that death was the best available way out of his mission. Had he died, he would have successfully escaped from God’s call. Of course, the readers know that God will not let this happen. As soon as Jonah is thrown overboard, they expect a divine action aimed at saving Jonah from death. Their expectations are fulfilled.” (p.1201). + +God never intended to kill Jonah or the other people on board the ship, and even when Jonah tried to find the “easy” way out God had already prepared his rescue – a large fish. + +### Application + +We all probably have had a situation at one time or another which we have found almost overwhelming, almost hopeless, we can’t seem to find a clear solution, a way out of it. Some thoughts may have crept in: “I wish I were not here,” “I wish we were not married,” “I wish I were dead.” Many have taken the “easy” way out – divorce, abandoned the family, suicide. But while those steps might have gotten them some relief – maybe permanent relief in death – the results for those left behind are horrendous. + +The effects of divorce, the breakup of a family, or suicide can be devastating to the children. I have known older adults who still experience the results of their parent’s suicide while they were children. There is a sense of guilt (Was it something I did?), rejection, (Why did he/she do that if he/she loved me? He/she must not have loved me!), shame (sometimes lying about the cause of death), feeling abandoned, questioning why it all happened, blaming themselves or others. + +The wonderful thing about the story of Jonah, is that God does not abandon us even when we reject Him. God gives us not just a second chance but many chances. And God has an answer to our questions, a solution to our problems, a plan for our lives, a promise for our prayers. Even when we make bad decisions, God has better solutions. + +Just this morning I read these words again: “Though difficulties, perplexities, and discouragements may arise, let neither husband nor wife harbor the thought that their union is a mistake or a disappointment. Determine to be all that it is possible to be to each other. Continue the early attentions. In every way encourage each other in fighting the battles of life. Study to advance the happiness of each other. Let there be mutual love, mutual forbearance. Then marriage, instead of being the end of love, will be as it were the very beginning of love.” (Ellen G. White, The Faith I Live By, p. 253). + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, remove all negative thoughts from our mind, especially those thoughts that cause us and others harm. Father, as You gave Jonah a second chance, as You gave the Ninevites a new opportunity, please give us a new chance to change, to make our lives better, to make our marriages healthier and happier. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/04-july-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/04-july-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..83efbc3e26 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/04-july-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Bad Decisions, Better Solutions +startDate: 07/04/2025 +endDate: 07/04/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/05-july-2025/05-july-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/05-july-2025/05-july-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..4459fb5b9c --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/05-july-2025/05-july-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,30 @@ +--- +title: An Attitude and a Behavior +date: 07/05/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God? Micah 6:8 + +### Observation + +The question is “How are we to worship?” With burnt offerings, calves, or thousands of rams. That, evidently, is not the answer since they are only “shadows of things to come.” Even child sacrifice, mentioned in v. 7, is not the answer. Instead God asks for three things: (1) “do justly,” which means literally to act with justice toward other people. (2) “love mercy,” or to love being merciful; and (3) “walk humbly with your God,” which means to have an attitude of humble wisdom in response to God. Interestingly, the first two principles have to do with how we relate to others, whereas this final one deals with how we relate to God. In a way, this is also how the ten commandments are divided in general terms: the first four have to do with our relationship with God while the last six have to do with our relationship with others. + +### Application + +The three principles that Micah mentions, if applied to marriage, or in our family, can change how we relate to one another. Let’s think about these for a moment: + +1. Do justly - It is possible that Micah mentions justice first because social injustice was the great sin which scarred the society of his day (cf. 3:1, 8). Practicing justice means to uphold what is right according to the will of God, and instead of offering animal sacrifices it requires the sacrifice of life – that is, giving ourselves to the other person to do what is right. Upholding what is right often requires the sacrifice of personal aims and ambitions as well as trying to see the other person’s point of view rather than passing judgment based only on our personal thoughts and feelings. + +2. Love mercy - The justice which God wants is based on kindness and mercy. The Hebrew word (chessed) points to conduct which is becoming those who have been recipients of God’s mercy themselves and who should naturally extend it to others. The combination of the words “Loving mercy” is an active quality which means it should be translating “mercy” into deeds. + +3. Walk humbly - The Hebrew verb “make yourself humble” (hattsnea‘) is used only in one other place in the Old Testament in Proverbs 11:2: “When pride comes, then comes shame; But with the humble is wisdom” (NKJV). The term refers not so much to self-humiliation as to an attitude of humility and measured and careful conduct. + +Relate to each other with justice, mercy, and with the humble spirit which results from our relationship with God. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, helps our attitude toward each other to reflect our relationship with you, and help us to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly before you and with our loved ones. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/05-july-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/05-july-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..c49e625785 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/05-july-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: An Attitude and a Behavior +startDate: 07/05/2025 +endDate: 07/05/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/06-july-2025/06-july-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/06-july-2025/06-july-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..067db1daf6 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/06-july-2025/06-july-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,32 @@ +--- +title: Pleasant Words +date: 07/06/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones. Proverbs 16:24 + +### Observation + +Elsewhere the book of Proverbs presents an interesting contrast: “The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord, But the words of the pure are pleasant” (Prov. 15:26). By their nature, gentle, kind words, by soothing the mind, give the body health. + +### Application + +The tongue can detect several different tastes - sweet, sour, salty, bitter. Some of us have a preference for one of three - sweet, salty, or sour. For instance, I prefer fruit that has a tart taste but I also enjoy some sweet foods and other salty foods. In general terms, however, most of us don’t care for things that have a bitter taste. The writer of this proverb understands that most of us, from the time we’re children, have a preference for that which is sweet and pleasant and dislike that which is bitter. + +In the book, “The Voice in Speech and Song,” we find some important guidance: + +“Do you dislike to have harsh words spoken to you? Remember that when you speak such words others feel the sting. Let your praiseworthy example, your peaceable words and unselfish deeds, be a savor of life unto life. + +“The talent of speech was given to be used for the benefit of all. Pleasant, cheery words cost no more than unpleasant, moody words. Sharp words wound and bruise the soul. In this life everyone has difficulties with which to wrestle. Everyone meets with grievances and disappointments. Shall we not bring sunshine instead of gloom into the lives of those with whom we come in contact? Shall we not speak words that will help and bless? They will be just as much a blessing to us as to those to whom they are spoken.--Ms 93, 1901. (Ellen G. White, The Voice in Speech and Song, p. 64) + +A couple in which sweet pleasant words form part of their communication will have a better relationship than one where yelling, sarcasm, criticism, or bitter words form part of their conversation. Children who hear pleasant, kind, encouraging words will grow with a more pleasant disposition than those who receive from their parents a barrage of attacks or constant criticism. + +Let’s practice daily the use of sweet, kind words toward each other.

Scripture

+> For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure. Philippians 2:13 + +### Observation + +Man is, in different senses, entirely active, and entirely passive: God producing all, and we acting all. What He produced is our own acts. It is not that God does some, and we the rest. God does all, and we do all. God is the only proper author, we the only proper actors. Thus the same things in Scripture are represented as from God, and from us. God makes a new heart, and we are commanded to make us a new heart; not merely because we must use the means in order to the effect, but the effect itself is our act and our duty (Ez 11:19; 18:31; 36:26) [Edwards]. (Jamieson, R., Fausset, A. R., & Brown, D. (1997). Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible. Oak Harbor, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc.) + +### Application + +I have often heard individuals use an expression that more than likely came out of Hollywood: “I love him, but I am not in love with him.” I think what they are trying to say is that they care about the other person but they don’t have the same romantic feelings they once had toward them. The butterflies don’t flutter in their stomach they once did when they were with the other person. They have lost the excitement they once had when they were together. And because they don’t have any of those feelings, they come to me to see if I, as a marriage counselor, will either give them permission to separate or divorce or if I would suggest or encourage divorce as the solution to the predicament in which they find themselves. + +To begin with, I explain to them that love is not a feeling – it is a decision. It’s the decision to care for the other person even when the romantic feelings are not there. Amy Cuddy, of Harvard University, conducted experiments for her research which showed that our behavior shapes our thinking. . . and our feelings. (You can watch her presentation in a TED conference at http://www.ted.com/talks/amy_cuddy_your_body_language_shapes_who_you_are.html). What she explains, then, is that instead of waiting until we feel a certain way, if we start acting that way we will begin to think and eventually feel that way. In other words, if I don’t have those romantic feelings toward my spouse, instead of waiting to “feel” romantic toward them I should start “behaving” in a romantic way toward them, and the result is that I will begin to “think” romantically and even “feel” romantically toward them, which is the ultimate desire we want after all. + +While Amy Cuddy’s teachings are based on research, the Apostle Paul provides us with even more powerful help. Paul tells us that God not only works “in” us the “will” or the desire to want to do something, but also helps us to actually “do” it. When we commit our life and marriage to God, even if we find ourselves without the romantic feelings toward our spouse, God helps us to want to be loving toward them (that’s the “will” part), and also to take the steps to be loving (that’s the “to do” part). + +So, think about it: You may not have those warm, fuzzy feelings you once had toward your spouse, but you do love God and you know He loves you and wants the best for you. What should you do? (1) Ask God to place in your heart the desire to act lovingly toward your spouse. (2) Submit yourself to God so that He will show His love through you toward your spouse. (3) Act lovingly toward your spouse even before you begin to feel it. The results will be that your attitude will follow your behavior, and at the end your feelings will follow your attitude. The ultimate result will be a loving, caring relationship, as God designed it to be, and not just simply momentary romantic feelings toward the other person. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, when the romantic feelings I once had toward my spouse are hard to find, help me to want to love them, and to act lovingly toward them until the caring feelings toward them return and take a firm hold on our relationship so that it may completely reflect our relationship with You. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/07-july-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/07-july-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..153c64169e --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/07-july-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: He's Able, If You Let Him +startDate: 07/07/2025 +endDate: 07/07/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/08-july-2025/08-july-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/08-july-2025/08-july-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..d0f41b6782 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/08-july-2025/08-july-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,24 @@ +--- +title: Holy to the Lord +date: 07/08/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

As to the gold plate on the turban, “It will be on Aaron's forehead, and he will bear the guilt involved in the sacred gifts the Israelites consecrate, whatever their gifts may be. It will be on Aaron's forehead continually so that they will be acceptable to the LORD” (vs.38). God’s people were to be on the mind and over the heart of the high priest whenever he performed his ministry in the sanctuary. + +### Application + +The role of the husband as the high priest of the family is also very significant. His wife, his family, his children must be on his mind and in his heart every time he prays and every time he performs any act before God. His words and actions toward his family must be guided not only rationally (the mind), but emotionally (the heart). + +But there’s something else in the symbolism here which we must not overlook. The words engraved on the gold plate attached to the turban – Holy to the Lord – is a call and a challenge to purity, to be separated from any influence that would distract or detract from service to Him, to refrain from any thought, word, or cation that according to His will or contrary to it. Those words demonstrate a total, undivided commitment to God which, as a result, makes our commitment to our spouse stronger and more durable. It was such commitment which kept Joseph from agreeing to Potiphar’s wife enticement to sin. It was that commitment which kept Daniel praying, as he did before, in spite of the order to the contrary. It was such commitment that kept Jesus faithful to His ministry all the way to the cross in spite of the actions of His people at the time and in the future. It is such commitment we as husbands and wives are called to today, to be Holy to the Lord, and wholly our spouse’s. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Loving Father, today we dedicate and consecrate to You anew.

Heb 10:25 NIV + +### Observation + +The Greek, “episunagoge,” is only found here and 2Th 2:1 (the gathering together of the elect to Christ at His coming, Mt 24:31). The assembling or gathering of ourselves for Christian communion in private and public, is an earnest of our being gathered together to Him at His appearing. Union is strength; continual assemblings together beget and foster love, and give good opportunities for “provoking to good works,” by “exhorting one another” (Heb 3:13). Ignatius says, “When ye frequently, and in numbers meet together, the powers of Satan are overthrown, and his mischief is neutralized by your likemindedness in the faith.” To neglect such assemblings together might end in apostasy at last. He avoids the Greek term “sunagoge,” as suggesting the Jewish synagogue meetings (compare Rev 2:9). [Jamieson, R., Fausset, A. R., & Brown, D. (1997).

Does it matter who goes to church with their children, their mom, their dad, neither, or both? Research done in Switzerland has shown that it is critically important! In fact, the religious practice of the father of the family determines the future attendance or absence from church by the children. The results show a dramatic differential between the relative impact of a father's church attendance and a mother's church attendance. This what research in Switzerland showed: + +- If both father and mother attended church regularly then 33 per cent of their children became regular churchgoers, a further 41 per cent irregular attenders and about a quarter not practicing at all. +- If the mother was a regular church attender but the father irregular then only 3 per cent of their children became regular church attenders, 59 per cent irregular attenders and 38 per cent non-attenders. +- If the father was non-practising and the mother regular only 2 per cent of children were regular and 37 per cent irregular church attenders. 61 per cent did not attend church at all. +- Surprisingly, if the father is a regular church attender the children's religious practice varied in an inverse relationship to their mothers' practice. If the mother was regular 33 per cent of children were regular. If she was an irregular attender then 38 per cent of children were regular. If the mother was non-practising then 44 per cent of children became regular attenders. +- Even when the father is an irregular attender and the mother non- practicing 25 per cent of the children were regular attenders and 23 per cent irregular attenders. + +In short, if a father does not go to church, no matter how regular the mother is in her religious practice, only one child in 50 becomes a regular church attender. But if a father attends regularly then regardless of the practice of the mother at least one child in three will become a regular church attender.

Scripture

+> For when you offer your gifts and make your sons pass through the fire, you defile yourselves with all your idols, even to this day. So shall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live," says the Lord GOD, "I will not be inquired of by you. Ezekiel 20:31 + +### Observation + +When some of the elders in exile came to inquire of the Lord, He refused to answer them. Instead He told Ezekiel to review the nation’s rebellious history. From the very beginning, when the Lord confronted His people in Egypt, they resisted His will by clinging to their idols. After He had delivered them from bondage and given them the law, they rebelled in the wilderness. Though the Lord prohibited that generation from entering the promised land, He preserved their children and warned them not to follow in their fathers’ footsteps. However, the children, while still in the wilderness, sinned against the Lord. When He finally established them in the land, they worshiped Canaanite gods at pagan sanctuaries. Ezekiel’s idolatrous contemporaries were no different. Consequently the Lord would purify them through judgment and exile. Once He had removed the rebellious worshipers of idols, He would restore the nation to the land. The people then would repudiate their former behavior and worship the Lord in purity. [Dockery, D.

It shocks us to think that people would do such hideous things to innocent children, particularly their own. And yet I have often wondered how often parents today through their children to other idols and don’t think twice about it. + +One of those ways in which have inadvertently thrown our children to the fire happened when we opened up the internet to our children with no guidance, supervision, boundaries, or discipline. In fact, we’re really throwing them into one of the biggest fires there is. The internet has provided us with a limitless amount of information and resources, but it has also opened up avenues to sin which were unthinkable just a few years ago. But we have make it easy and convenient for our children to have access to the good, the bad, and the dangerous of the internet without as much as a blink of the eye. Even those parents who have protected their home by not having cable television, or television at all, have now opened their homes to something even worse, and with much greater influence. Parents who never took their children to the movies, and maybe never brought videos home, are unaware that all those Tv programs and videos are all available on the internet and their children are watching them all. + +Another area where some parents are throwing their children to idol fire is by sending them to public schools. I know there are no Seventh-day Adventist Schools everywhere, and for some parents that is the only choice they have. I worry about those parents who had one or several Adventist schools available in the area where they live and yet choose to send their children to public schools where they are being taught things contrary to what the Bible teaches and to what their parents believe. They think that as long as they take their kids to church on Sabbath, which is good, their kids will be fine. But how can one to three hours a week at church can have as strong an influence as forty hours a week at school? While no church school is perfect, it sure is a better alternative than a secular environment for those many hours each week. + +In what other areas are you maybe throwing your children to idol fire?

Scripture

+> Though the fig tree may not blossom, Nor fruit be on the vines; Though the labor of the olive may fail, And the fields yield no food; Though the flock may be cut off from the fold, And there be no herd in the stalls 18 Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. Habakkuk 3:17-18 + +### Observation + +In a ringing climax to the book, Habakkuk announces that though all the natural means of sustenance should fail, he will rejoice in God anyway, even as Paul did while awaiting a decision in a Roman jail cell (Phil. 4:4). Evidently, this is due to a continuous trust in God, regardless of external circumstances, an attitude which Habakkuk needs right now as he contemplates Babylon’s impending judgment upon Judah. Likewise, our relationship with the Lord should not be dependent on what is happening in our lives at any given moment. [Andrews Study Bible Notes. 2010 (J. L. Dybdahl, Ed.). Berrien Springs, MI: Andrews University Press.] + +### Application + +We find the response of Job to all his problems admirable. How could anyone loose all his/her possessions, all his/her children, and ultimately his/her health and yet not get angry or complain? Would we blame anyone for feeling despondent in such situation? Would we be shocked if they expressed their disdain, their frustration, their hopelessness? In fact, I think we would be more surprised if they didn’t! + +The opposite of Job would be someone who is not able to accept their circumstances and lives in a world of denial. Studies have shown that people facing terminal disease go through several stages, with the first one being denial. The initial shock of receiving such unexpected news leads people to deny that it is really happening. “Surely the reports are wrong.” “There must be a mistake.” “This cannot possibly be happening to me.” + +Habakkuk is not going through denial about what he’s going through. What he’s doing is recognizing all that is happening to him but not allowing it to shake his faith in God. He is able to maintain that positive attitude because he has seen how God has blessed him in the past. He chooses to focus on the good things and not simply give up by looking only at all the bad things. + +Everyone of us will face challenging circumstances in our life at some point or another. It may be the loss of a job, losing money in a promising investment, the tragic and early death of a child or another loved one, a terminal disease diagnosed with no symptoms present or with no previous family genetic connection. It would be normal for us to have a time of denial, but we cannot remain there. When we put it all into perspective – the fact that God promises us eternal life, a family reunion from which we’ll never part, and that He will take care of us, His children, we can then share the positive, grateful attitude of Job and of Habakkuk. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, thank You for all you have done for us in the past. When things don’t go well and the pain we experience seems unbearable please remind us of all those blessings so we lift our heads up and have the positive attitude which will help us get out of the pit of despair. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/11-july-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/11-july-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..18495812c9 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/11-july-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: It's not Denial, it's the Attitude +startDate: 07/11/2025 +endDate: 07/11/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/12-july-2025/12-july-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/12-july-2025/12-july-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..fe46b8d1d9 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/12-july-2025/12-july-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,30 @@ +--- +title: Love Like a Mother +date: 07/12/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> Having so fond an affection for you, we were well-pleased to impart to you not only the gospel of God but also our own lives, because you had become very dear to us. 1 Thessalonians 2:8 (NASB) + +### Observation + +_**willing**_—The Greek is stronger, “we were well content”; “we would gladly have imparted,” “even our own lives” (so the Greek for “souls” ought to be translated); as we showed in the sufferings we endured in giving you the Gospel (Ac 17:1–34). As a nursing mother is ready to impart not only her milk to them, but her life for them, so we not only imparted gladly the spiritual milk of the word to you, but risked our own lives for your spiritual nourishment, imitating Him who laid down His life for His friends, the greatest proof of love (Jn 15:13). [Jamieson, R., Fausset, A. R., & Brown, D. (1997). Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible. Oak Harbor, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc.] + +### Application + +The apostle Paul developed such a close, loving relationship with the people he brought to the knowledge of Jesus Christ that he considered them more like his children than his pupils. His affection for them, he writes, is comparable to the love that a mother has for his children. Mothers reading his words immediately identify with those feelings toward their own children, something fathers can’t ever experience. + +About 35 years ago social scientists began to teach about the importance of early bonding with babies. Experiments with animals showed that bonding is essential for a baby. Studies of newborn monkeys who were given mannequin mothers at birth showed that, even when the mannequins were made of soft material and provided formula to the baby monkeys, the babies were better socialized when they had live mothers with whom they could interact. The baby monkeys with mannequin mothers also were more likely to suffer from despair. Scientists suspect that lack of bonding in human babies can cause similar problems. + +Most babies are ready to bond immediately upon their birth. Parents, on the other hand, may have mixed feelings about it. Some parents feel an intense attachment within the first few minutes or days after their baby's birth, while for others, especially if the baby is adopted or has been placed in intensive care, it may take a longer. + +At any rate, bonding is a process, not something that takes place within minutes and not something that has to be limited to happening within a certain time period after birth. For many parents, bonding is a byproduct of caring for their baby on a daily basis. You may not even know it's taking place, but then you see your baby’s first smile and suddenly you realize that you're filled with love and joy for that little child of yours. + +This is not a skill you learn, it is a natural feeling that God places inside your heart automatically, for most people. Those of us who are parents love that feeling and flourish in the glow of our bond with our children. Enjoy every minute of the experience and as your children grow into youth and adulthood. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, thank you for letting Your love shine through our hearts to our children. Help us to enjoy that experience as long as possible so that they too may experience Your love through us. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/12-july-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/12-july-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..c00ec786fd --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/12-july-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Love Like a Mother +startDate: 07/12/2025 +endDate: 07/12/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/13-july-2025/13-july-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/13-july-2025/13-july-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..e91ed15d7b --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/13-july-2025/13-july-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,30 @@ +--- +title: Look and Wait +date: 07/13/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> Therefore I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation; My God will hear me. Micah 7:7 + +### Observation + +Therefore I will look unto the Lord—as if no one else were before mine eyes. We must not only “look unto the Lord,” but also “wait for Him.” Having no hope from man (Mic 7:5, 6), Micah speaks in the name of Israel, who herein, taught by chastisement (Mic 7:4) to feel her sin (Mic 7:9), casts herself on the Lord as her only hope,” in patient waiting (La 3:26). She did so under the Babylonian captivity; she shall do so again hereafter when the spirit of grace shall be poured on her (Zec 12:10–13). [Jamieson, R., Fausset, A. R., & Brown, D. (1997). Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible. Oak Harbor, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc.] + +### Application + +I read once that a young girl, when she starts to think about the things she would like to see in a future mate, makes a list of qualities and characteristics that are desirable for her. For instance, she will write things such tall, hair color, eye color, educated, good job, spiritual, from a good family, etc. They may come up with a very long list, somewhat unrealistic. But as the years go by and she finds herself growing older and still single she begins to dismiss some of the things on her list and the list gets shorter until she gets to be in her early thirties and the list only contains two items – warm and breathing. Obviously this story is somewhat humorous, but it illustrates the urgency with which some singles approach their social situation as the years go by. + +I like the three things that Micah speaks about in today’s verse as a plan for singles to adopt for their lives. First of all, Micah writes “I will look to the Lord.” The focus all of us should have in life is not to make money, have prestige, or even be married, but to have a relationship with God such that when Jesus returns He will recognize us. The advice for singles in this verse is that instead of looking for life happiness in a relationship with others they must look at God for fulfillment and satisfaction regardless of their social state in life. + +The second word from Micah is to “wait for God.” Society teaches that time is short and therefore the sooner one marries the better. On the other hand, research has shown, among many others, two things that young people should keep in mind. (1) Marriage before the age of twenty increases the chances of divorce within the first fifteen years of marriage. In fact, people who marry before the age of 20 are two to three times more likely to divorce. (2) The average age of marriage in the US currently is about 27 for women and 29 for men. By this time, they have completed their education and have a job. Incidentally, Women with higher IQs tend to go to college, and women who go to college tend to marry later. My conclusion is that it is better then to wait to get married until a little later in life and to wait on God to put them in touch with the right person rather than rushing to find someone, anyone to marry. + +The final important word from Micah is a promise: “God will hear me.” What that is telling me is that when we pray, when we look to the Lord for guidance, and when we wait for God to show us the right partner, He will hear our plea. Now, that may mean that we may have to remain single for some time, or even for the rest of our life. As one of my daughters told me once, “I’d rather be alone and single, than alone and married.” The wrong relationship can bring a lot of pain and unhappiness to a marriage and to the individuals involved. + +So let’s take the three words from Micah to heart and “Look to the Lord,” “Wait on the Lord,” and “He will her us.” + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, a single life can be a lonely life, but we commit ourselves to look at You for guidance and fulfillment, wait on You for an answer to our plea, and eagerly await to hear from You what You know is best for our lives. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/13-july-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/13-july-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..b89d389691 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/13-july-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Look and Wait +startDate: 07/13/2025 +endDate: 07/13/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/14-july-2025/14-july-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/14-july-2025/14-july-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..c87559725d --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/14-july-2025/14-july-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,32 @@ +--- +title: A Childless Mother Finds a Home +date: 07/14/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, Dmin_ + +>

Scripture

+> He grants the barren woman a home, Like a joyful mother of children. Praise the LORD! Psalm 113:9 + +### Observation + +God’s care is illustrated by making a barren woman a happy mother of many. Barrenness was understood as a disgrace in ancient cultures and even by the people of the Bible (see Gen. 30:1; 1 Sam. 1:6–7, 10) + +The psalmist cites a specific example of the way in which Yahweh gives sons to the barren housewife. Perhaps this is a further allusion to the experience of Hannah. Some see in the barren housewife here a picture of Zion whose sons were lost in the Babylonian captivity. Now her heart is gladdened by the restoration of her children to her. [Smith, J. E. (1996). The wisdom literature and Psalms. Old Testament Survey Series. Joplin, MO: College Press Pub. Co.] + +### Application + +It amazes, shocks, and saddens me when I hear of a mother that killed her child or children! How can a mother do that to her own child? And it’s probably more shocking when we know of so many women who cannot conceive and who would do anything to be able to bear their own child. Many watch their friends or relatives get pregnant. They see the joy it brings to them and to their families. They follow the progress, the changes, the baby shower, and the culmination of the many months of expectancy with the birth of their baby. And while they rejoice with the other person at the same time they feel the emptiness in their own heart. + +Maybe that’s why the verse in this psalm is so interesting to me. Some may read it as a promise to the barren that God will answer her prayers and she will bear children of her own. That is indeed very possible. I have known of some couples who had given up hope only to find themselves expecting a child of their own. I have known of couples that adopted a child or even several children and then had children of their own. So the possibility of having their own children exists and it may indeed happen. + +For others, they will never conceive a child of their own but they have the opportunity to adopt children whom they will raise and love as if they had been born of them. For them, there is no difference, nor should there be, between naturally born children or adopted children. . . they will receive the same love and treatment. + +Of course there are also some women who are simply not able to have children nor do they want to. They are very content with having pets or having nothing but a good relationship with their husband. They make good aunts, and that’s as close as they want to be to children. + +To every woman, whether she bears children or her own, or adopts children, or chooses to not have children at all this psalm speaks the promise that God will give them a home, one just as joyful as the home where children abound. Let God our Father provide you with that joyful home experience regardless of your circumstances. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, may our experience be such that whether we have children or not we will have a joyful home where we can experience love and share love with others. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/14-july-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/14-july-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..92b1c5faa4 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/14-july-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: A Childless Mother Finds a Home +startDate: 07/14/2025 +endDate: 07/14/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/15-july-2025/15-july-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/15-july-2025/15-july-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..233da5a013 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/15-july-2025/15-july-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,22 @@ +--- +title: Passed Down +date: 07/15/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> (Exo 31:1-11 NKJV) Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying: {2} "See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. {3} "And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, {4} "to design artistic works, to work in gold, in silver, in bronze, {5} "in cutting jewels for setting, in carving wood, and to work in all manner of workmanship. {6} "And I, indeed I, have appointed with him Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and I have put wisdom in the hearts of all who are gifted artisans, that they may make all that I have commanded you: {7} "the tabernacle of meeting, the ark of the Testimony and the mercy seat that is on it, and all the furniture of the tabernacle; {8} "the table and its utensils, the pure gold lampstand with all its utensils, the altar of incense, {9} "the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the laver and its base; {10} "the garments of ministry, the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons, to minister as priests, {11} "and the anointing oil and sweet incense for the holy place. According to all that I have commanded you they shall do." + +### Observation + +Bezalel was Hur’s grandson. Tradition teaches that Hur was Miriam’s husband – Miriam who was Moses’ sister.

Scripture

+> And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." Matthew 3:17 + +### Observation + +The verb in the original Greek of the New Testament is put in such a way as to express absolute complacency, once and for ever felt towards Him. The English here is not strong enough, and “I delight” comes the nearest to that complacency which is intended. God’s words should immediately carry the thoughts back to that Messianic prophecy alluded to in Is 42:1, “Behold My Servant, whom I uphold; Mine Elect, in whom My soul delighteth.” At the same time, we should not overlook the words that follow, “I have put My Spirit upon Him; He shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.” + +### Application + +We have grown so accustomed to reading the words which were spoken on the occasion of the baptism of Jesus that we miss one important fact. We think of the fact that Jesus was baptized, although He didn’t need to since He had no sin. We think of the fact that the three persons of the Holy Trinity were present during that event as God spoke, Jesus was in the water, and the Holy Spirit, like a dove, alighted on Jesus. We think about the fact that Jesus exemplified baptism by immersion. All of these are correct and lessons worth remembering. + +I would like us to think, in addition, to the specific words of God for Jesus. God could have simply stated, “This is my beloved Son,” and the words would have confirmed the divinity of Jesus, or His Messianic ministry. But the entire speech, as short as it was, is a lesson for us as parents to learn as we seek to affirm, encourage, and strengthen our children as they grow. + +First of all, God made it clear to Jesus, and to us since then, that He loved Him. Even though there was obviously no doubt in Jesus’ mind, as He began His ministry the Father assured him and confirmed His love for Him. The lesson for us is to affirm our children all the time of our love for them. Repeat those words regularly, never say good bye without ending your conversation with those words, and even when they do something which is contrary to what you taught them and it breaks your heart assure them of your love for them. They must know that even if they disappointed you, your love for them has not changed. + +The second word from God to Jesus, which we need to learn from, is the word “pleased,” or “delighted.” We sometimes have a tendency to focus on our children’s misbehavior instead of emphasizing those times when they do well. One way to reinforce good behavior is by affirming our children when we “catch” them doing good. When your son picks up his toys, praise them immediately and pray them specifically for that action. A general word of affirmation such as “that’s a good boy!” does not provide the reinforcement for their good actions that words like, “thank you for picking up your toys!” would.

+> They are like a sleep. In the morning they are like grass which grows up. Psalm 90:3, 5 + +### Observation + +This psalm is attributed to Moses which would then make it the oldest psalm written. Verses 3-6 describe life much like grass as a cycle of growing and dying. In the morning, grass flourishes and grows up, but in the evening the grass is cut down and it withers. This image is repeated in various other places in the bible (See Ps. 37:2 72:16; 103:15; Isa. 40:7; James 1:10, 11). On the other hand, God’s eternity and permanence is contrasted with man’s short life – for God a thousand years are like yesterday when it is past. The “Lord” (a title indicating sovereignty) is the true “dwelling place” (home, refuge) of each succeeding generation. Whereas man’s life is brief and changing, God abides. + +### Application + +When compared to God, the 70 or 80 years we live are so minuscule. Maybe that is why the psalmist compares our life span to grass. Grass grows and dies and sometimes we don’t even notice that cycle, except when we have to mow it. When we have lots of rain the grass grows unstoppably. It seems like we have barely finished mowing it when it needs mowing again. And once we mow it, the grass clipping get mingled with the rest of the grass and eventually come to be part of the entire grass spread. + +How many blades of grass are in my yard? I have no idea! And maybe that’s another reason why Moses compares his people to grass. . . so many are born, grow up, and eventually die that it almost becomes commonplace, imperceptible unless it happens to a loved one. + +But there are several things in the words of this psalm that I find encouraging: + +1. It confirms what other places in the bible present explicitly or implicitly – death is like a sleep. . . a dreamless, undisturbed, sleep that ends the morning of the resurrection. + +2. While we are like grass that grows and dies, there is that hope in that morning when we will again grow up. . . except that we will never wither again. + +3. Moses uses this image to remind us that while our life is short and temporary, our God is permanent. As many people as have died in the past, for many generations, God has “been our dwelling place in all generations” (vs. 1). We don’t need to fear death, because God is always with us in life and through death. + +The next time a loved one goes to his or her sleep of death we can be comforted in the knowledge that God will be with us as He has been with every other generation in the past. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, thank You for the knowledge of your permanence in our lives for it removes our fear of the future and of death. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/17-july-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/17-july-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..b779e0a339 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/17-july-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Like Grass +startDate: 07/17/2025 +endDate: 07/17/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/18-july-2025/18-july-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/18-july-2025/18-july-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..fdcbf5676f --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/18-july-2025/18-july-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,32 @@ +--- +title: Behaviors that Harm Your Marriage +date: 07/18/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> Then God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God relented from the disaster that He had said He would bring upon them, and He did not do it. Jonah 3:10 + +### Observation + +The prophet’s message may have included conditions whereby the threats of God could be rescinded. As an evidence of His mercy to the Ninevites God sent Jonah to them, told him what to proclaim to them, and opened the hearts of a vast population. Also, seeing their repentant actions, God relented of His threat of destruction. He had spared Jonah (chap. 2); now He spared Nineveh. God’s mercies are always unmerited; His grace is never earned. [Walvoord, J. F., Zuck, R. B., & Dallas Theological Seminary. (1985). The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures. Wheaton, IL: Victor Books.] + +### Application + +Several years ago I read a story about marriage that illustrates the great value of forgiveness to both spouses. It goes like this: + +In the village of Falken in innermost Freisland there lived a long, thin baker named Fouke; a righteous man, with a long thin nose and a long thin chin. Fouke was so upright that he seemed to spray righteousness from his thin lips over everyone who came to him. So, everyone preferred to stay away. His wife, Hilda, was short and round. Her bosom was round and so was her rump. She did not keep people at bay with her righteousness; her soft roundness seemed to invite them in to be close with her and share her warmth. She respected her husband and loved him very much, as much as he would allow her; but her heart ached for something more from him. And there in the bed of her need lay her sadness. + +One morning Fouke came home and found a stranger lying on Hilda's bosom. Hilda's adultery became the talk of the town. Fouke surprised everyone by keeping Hilda as his wife, saying he forgave her as the good book said he should. But, in his heart of hearts, he could not forgive her for bringing shame to his name. Whenever he thought about her, his feelings towards her were angry and hard; he despised her as if she were a whore. When it came right down to it, he hated her for betraying him after he had been such a faithful and good husband to her. He only pretended to forgive her so that he could punish her with his righteous mercy. + +His fakery did not sit well in heaven. So each time he would feel his secret hate, an angel came to him and dropped a small pebble, hardly the size of a small button into his heart. Each time a pebble dropped into his heart, he would feel a stab of pain like the pain he felt the moment he came on Hilda feeding her hungry heart from a stranger's larder. Thus he hated her the more; his hate brought him pain and his pain made him hate. The pebbles multiplied and his heart grew heavy with the weight of them, so heavy that the top half of his body bent forward so that he had to strain his neck upward in order to see ahead. Weary and hurt, he began to wish he were dead. + +The angel who dropped the pebbles into his heart came to him one night and told him how he could be healed of his hurt. There is only one remedy for the hurt of the wounded heart. He would need the miracle of the magic eyes. He would need eyes that could look back and see a wife not who betrayed him but as a weak woman who needed him. He protested and said that nothing could change the past. She is guilty and an angel cannot change that. The angel said, "You cannot change the past. You can only heal the hurt that comes to you from the past. And you can only heal it with the vision of the magic eyes." He asked how to get the magic eyes. "Ask, and they will be given. Each time you see Hilda through your new eyes, a pebble will be lifted from your heart." + +He could not ask at once, for he had grown to love his hatred. Finally, his pain drove him to ask and the angel gave him the magic eyes. Hilda began to change and he saw her as a needy woman who loved him. The angel kept her promise and lifted the pebbles one by one, though it took a long time. He invited Hilda into his heart again and she came. And together they began their second season of humble joy. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, please give us the Magic Eyes we need in our marriage that we may see in our spouse someone lovely and someone we must love for their well-being, for ours, for the sake of our marriage and for the sake of our children who suffer more than anyone else when we don’t get along, and even more so if we choose to separate or divorce. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/19-july-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/19-july-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..0f1fa81136 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/19-july-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Marriage's Magic Eyes +startDate: 07/19/2025 +endDate: 07/19/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/20-july-2025/20-july-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/20-july-2025/20-july-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..41d378526b --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/20-july-2025/20-july-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,40 @@ +--- +title: Submit to Christ +date: 07/20/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted. Matthew 23:11-12 + +### Observation + +The principle stated here occurs in Proverbs 25:6–7 with reference to seating at banquets, and elsewhere the principle refers to the future time when God equalizes everyone (Is 2:11–12; 5:15; cf. Ezek 17:24; 21:26 + +### Application + +I am often asked for some clarification about Paul’s words in Ephesians 5:22: “Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. Ephesians 5:22 (NKJV). Many men have used this text to keep their wives under and oppressive, domineering submission, some even to the point of becoming abusive. Understandably so, many women have rebelled against their husbands and even against God because of such treatment. However, that was never Paul’s intent. In fact, the type of leadership a husband must exercise at home is that which Jesus taught about and which He exemplified in His own life – what we call “servant leadership.” Jesus taught, “He who is greatest among you shall be your servant.” + +A husband who demands submission has not submitted himself to Christ’s headship in his own life. Look carefully at what Ellen White writes about the words of Ephesians 5:22: + +The question is often asked, "Shall a wife have no will of her own?" The Bible plainly states that the husband is the head of the family. "Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands." If this injunction ended here, we might say that the position of the wife is not an enviable one; it is a very hard and trying position in very many cases, and it would be better were there fewer marriages. Many husbands stop at the words, "Wives, submit yourselves," but we will read the conclusion of the same injunction, which is. "As it is fit in the Lord." + +God requires that the wife shall keep the fear and glory of God ever before her. Entire submission is to be made only to the Lord Jesus Christ, who has purchased her as His own child by the infinite price of His life. God has given her a conscience, which she cannot violate with impunity. Her individuality cannot be merged into that of her husband, for she is the purchase of Christ. It is a mistake to imagine that with blind devotion she is to do exactly as her husband says in all things, when she knows that in so doing, injury would be worked for her body and her spirit, which have been ransomed from the slavery of Satan. There is One who stands higher than the husband to the wife; it is her Redeemer, and her submission to her husband is to be rendered as God has directed--"as it is fit in the Lord." + +When husbands require the complete subjection of their wives, declaring that women have no voice or will in the family, but must render entire submission, they place their wives in a position contrary to the Scripture. In interpreting the Scripture in this way, they do violence to the design of the marriage institution. This interpretation is made simply that they may exercise arbitrary rule, which is not their prerogative. But we read on, "Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them." Why should the husband be bitter against his wife? If the husband has found her erring and full of faults, bitterness of spirit will not remedy the evil. (The Adventist Home, p. 116) + +As if that were not enough, she adds: + +The Lord Jesus has not been correctly represented in His relation to the church by many husbands in their relation to their wives, for they do not keep the way of the Lord. They declare that their wives must be subject to them in everything. But it was not the design of God that the husband should have control, as head of the house, when he himself does not submit to Christ. He must be under the rule of Christ that he may represent the relation of Christ to the church. If he is a coarse, rough, boisterous, egotistical, harsh, and overbearing man, let him never utter the word that the husband is the head of the wife, and that she must submit to him in everything; for he is not the Lord, he is not the husband in the true significance of the term. . . . + +Husbands should study the pattern and seek to know what is meant by the symbol presented in Ephesians, the relation Christ sustains to the church. The husband is to be as a Saviour in his family. Will he stand in his noble, God-given manhood, ever seeking to uplift his wife and children? Will he breathe about him a pure, sweet atmosphere? Will he not as assiduously cultivate the love of Jesus, making it an abiding principle in his home, as he will assert his claims to authority? + +Let every husband and father study to understand the words of Christ, not in a one-sided manner, merely dwelling upon the subjection of the wife to her husband, but in the light of the cross of Calvary, study as to his own position in the family circle. "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave Himself for it; that He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word." Jesus gave Himself up to die upon the cross in order that He might cleanse and keep us from all sin and pollution by the influence of the Holy Spirit. (Ibid.117) + +I hope these words encourage us as husbands to show the Christ-like love to our wives that He designed for the marriage relationship which honors Him as the Creator and God we worship and serve. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, may Your love for us flow through us to our wives so that our marriage may be a reflection of the relationship between Jesus and His bride, the church. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/20-july-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/20-july-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..8c0d5f944d --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/20-july-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Submit to Christ +startDate: 07/20/2025 +endDate: 07/20/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/21-july-2025/21-july-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/21-july-2025/21-july-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..b8eb0598dd --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/21-july-2025/21-july-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,36 @@ +--- +title: By the Power of the Spirit +date: 07/21/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

We’ve probably heard as many sermons based on this story as well. We have looked at every detail – the Jericho road, the man, the robbers, the Priest, the Levite, the Samaritan, the Inn.

To us, it has lost in some ways the power and the sting it carried. In fact, I think we have taken it out of a context in which it rightly belongs. Now we look at the story and its meaning and we look for ways to be nice to those “different” than us. We’re willing to go to other lands as missionaries.

In answer to the question, “Who is my neighbor,” Jesus’ response was not “A Good Samaritan,” but rather “a person who cares about others and helps them in their time of need regardless of the differences between them.” It so happens that in the story of Jesus, that person happened to be a Samaritan. But instead of limiting ourselves to doing good to those outside of our home, shouldn’t we start by helping those within it? If we were to ask Jesus, “Who is my neighbor?” I think Jesus would respond, “the spouse with whom you share your bed,” “the children who live under your roof and those who live elsewhere,” “those closest to you.” Somehow we have applied His parable to those outside, but have neglected to follow its teachings with those inside. + +Sometimes we treat total strangers or guests better than we treat those who are closest to us. As we read the parable again, let’s keep in mind our spouse, our children, our family, and treat them always – in their time of need and when they don’t seem to need anything – as a good neighbor.

Scripture

+> Then you shall say to the master of the house, 'The Teacher says to you, "Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?" ' Luke 22:11 + +### Observation + +Anyone with a two-story home, the second of which contained a “large” upper room, would be considered well-to-do. This family presumably resided in the Upper City of Jerusalem, near the temple, rather than the poorer Lower City, downwind of Jerusalem’s sewage. Because the Passover had to be eaten within Jerusalem’s walls, most homes would be crowded with guests; but the accommodations for Jesus’ last meal with his disciples would be quite adequate. + +### Application + +I find the rendition of the New King James here interesting where it calls the head of the household the “master of the house.” The New Testament has much to say about the responsibility of the husband, or the head of the household; just a sample will suffice for now: Peter calls upon the head-of the home, who has this incredibly important role and God-given power, to be "considerate" and "treat [family members] with respect" (1 Peter 3:7). Colossians 3:19 states an important principle of leadership when it admonishes, "Husbands do not be harsh with your wives." + +Now, as I consider today’s text, I imagine that it was no accident why Jesus chose this man’s home for the last meal He would have with His disciples before His death. I’m sure it was not because it was a luxurious, spacious room – Jesus was never looking for the comfort or prominence that the Jewish leadership were accustomed to. I have the feeling that this man exemplified what the spiritual head-of-the house should be like. + +1. He was so much in touch with God than when Jesus’ disciples brought His request he did not question it but gladly accepted it. This is evident in the way the question is made, “Where is the room. . .?” Jesus didn’t ask him, “do you have a room?”, or “is there a room?”, or “would you be willing to make a room available?” Jesus’ question was very direct and specific: “Where is THE room...?” + +2. He was generous in his response to God. When they met the man he didn’t ask for any remuneration but gladly showed them to the room. + +3. He had already made a certain amount of preparation. Luke’s account continues: “Then he will show you a large, furnished upper room. . .” Luke 22:12 (NKJV). The room was already furnished so that the preparation the disciples had to make was mostly about the emblems – water, food, bread, grape juice. + +As head of the household, we have a tremendous amount of influence in the lives of those inside our home.

Scripture

+> Therefore let us pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which one may edify another. Romans 14:19 + +### Observation + +Jewish people often spoke of the perfect future time of God’s kingdom (see 1 Cor 6:9), when the Spirit would be made available and all people would be at peace with one another (Rom 14:17). For Paul, the coming of the Messiah and the coming of the Spirit have also inaugurated the working of the kingdom, hence believers should be at peace with one another (14:19). + +### Application + +Here’s a riddle: Everybody wants it. But if you use it in your marriage you could lose everything. What is it? The answer is control. + +One of the easiest ways to destroy a marriage is for one to attempt to control his/her spouse – or for both partners to try to control each other. Sometimes the couple is not even aware of what they’re doing because control takes many subtle forms. Here are a few ways that spouses use in an attempt to control one another – whether consciously or unconsciously. As you read this list, and it’s description, consider whether you may be using it to control your spouse. + +**Persistence** – which usually means begging, insisting, expressing your expectations or demands. The objective is to wear down your spouse until they give in. It’s like a child who repeatedly his/her parents until he/she gets what he/she wants. + +**Nagging** – is similar to persistence with the added characteristic that it virtually always takes a very negative tone. The goal is also to wear your partner down – but it does so specifically by annoying or irritating until he/she finally caves. + +**Avoidance** – usually takes the form of physical or emotional distance. This happens when you withdraw yourself by refusing meaningful communication, by being emotionally unavailable, or even by physically evading one’s mate. A common form of avoidance is utilizing the silent treatment or stonewalling. + +**Passive-aggression** - similar to avoidance in many ways, but it is generally marked by specific behaviors including: apathy, procrastinating, stubbornness, creating chaos, sulking, obstructing reconciliation, and so forth. All of these are marked by a negative, although passive, disavowed resistance to interpersonal situations in the relationship. + +**Punishment** – which typically takes two forms. The first is withholding something that one’s spouse needs or upon which they have come to depend. This can include sex, fulfilling duties/responsibilities (i.e. household chores), favors, and so forth. The second form is inflicting something negative or hurtful upon one’s mate. This can include intentionally arranging circumstances to make their household duties more difficult, and so forth. + +**Withholding love** can also be a form of punishment. This takes place when a spouse denies affection, intimacy, closeness, kindness, etc. It deserves special mention because it is a particularly destructive. Because affection is a genuine need that we have as human beings, with it is withheld this can put extreme pressure on a person to conform to your wishes, but at a high cost to your relationship. + +**Rewarding** – which generally takes the form of providing gifts and favors in an effort to control. It doesn’t mean that there’s anything wrong with giving gifts to your spouse; these are a positive way to express your love for them if done with the right motivation. Rewarding, however, becomes a form of control if the intent is to manipulate. Sometimes rewarding is done as a type of appeasement in conjunction with intimidation, punishment, or other methods of control. + +The apostle Paul provides us with a better way to have a good, healthy marriage: “pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which one may edify another.” Avoid all desire for control and instead do everything to have peace and to build each other up. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, help us that instead of having a desire for control in our marriage we may desire peace in our relationship and the desire to help and build each other. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/24-july-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/24-july-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..8a8fb2275b --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/24-july-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: It's All About Control +startDate: 07/24/2025 +endDate: 07/24/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/25-july-2025/25-july-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/25-july-2025/25-july-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..2a45377073 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/25-july-2025/25-july-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,32 @@ +--- +title: Love's Not A Feeling +date: 07/25/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

+> This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. . . 17 These things I command you, that you love one another. John 15:12,17 + +### Observation + +This was the new feature of it. Christ’s love to His people in giving His life a ransom for them was altogether new, and consequently as a Model and Standard for theirs to one another. It is not, however, something transcending the great moral law, which is “the old commandment” (1Jn 2:7, and see on Mk 12:28–33), but that law in a new and peculiar form. Hence it is said to be both new and old (1Jn 2:7, 8). [Jamieson, R., Fausset, A. R., & Brown, D. (1997). Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible. Oak Harbor, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc.] + +### Application + +As a marriage counselor, I have been told by some of those coming to me for help, “I just don’t think I love him/her anymore.” I can tell, by talking with them, that deep inside there’s still at least a seed of love. But part of the problem is that they confuse love with romance. So let’s talk briefly about these. + +Love as a feeling, or the romantic feelings that we have toward someone, is what most often draws us toward them. We’re attracted to them for different reasons. It could be their looks, their personality, their warmth, their sense of humor, or a host of other reasons. Then, the more time we spend together, the warmer we feel toward them, and when we’re not with them we have an anxious desire to be with them again as soon and as long as possible. It is those butterflies we feel when they walk in the room, or when we see them in a crowd, and when we see them on our wedding day. + +For many couples, however, the butterflies in the stomach give way to the routine, to the commonplace, to the doldrums of everyday life which leads them to believe they made a mistake and should not be married any longer, or worse, they begin illicit relationships with other people who make them “feel’ the butterflies in their stomach again. . . until the doldrums come to the new relationship and the cycle begins again and continues to be repeated with subsequent relationships. + +On the other hand, when Jesus said, “This is my commandment, that you love one another,” He was trying to teach us that love is not a feeling because you can’t command anyone to “feel” a certain way or another. Jesus wanted us to understand that love is a decision we make, to care for another person. If that is correct, then He certainly can command us to make the decision to love one another, even when the feelings are not there. + +The wonderful thing is, and research has confirmed it, when we choose to love someone, and act lovingly toward them, that what we know as romantic feelings toward them also return. When I choose to love my wife, and do all in my power to help her and to act loving toward her, the romantic feelings I desire to have toward her can indeed return. + +If you are feeling a bit detached from your spouse, begin by accepting Jesus’ command to love them, regardless of your feelings. Act loving, even romantically toward them, pray for and with them, and wait to see how God awakens the feelings in response to your obedience to love them because you love Him. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, we want to demonstrate that we love You by obeying You and by loving others, starting with our spouse.

Scripture

+> “For I hate divorce!” says the LORD, the God of Israel. “To divorce your wife is to overwhelm her with cruelty,” says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies. “So guard your heart; do not be unfaithful to your wife.” Malachi 2:16 (NLT) + +### Observation + +Malachi indicates that marriage is much more than a civil contract and that it involves a permanent covenant between husband and wife with the Lord as witness. Thus, God hates divorce, detesting the fact that the men of Israel are ending their marriages in order to marry foreign women. This is the strongest statement in the OT about the Lord’s feelings regarding divorce. [Andrews Study Bible Notes. 2010 (J. L. Dybdahl, Ed.). Berrien Springs, MI: Andrews University Press.] + +The point is that one who divorces his wife simply because He dislikes her (Deut. 24:2) commits “violence” or injustice against her, that is, “cold-blooded and unscrupulous infringement of the personal rights of others, motivated by greed and hate” (see Ps. 73:6). Such a man deprives his wife of the very things a husband is responsible to provide—blessings, good, protection, praise, peace, justice—and He stands condemned by God. + +### Application + +A video has gone viral online. The video is of a 30-year-old wife who is seen on the video kicking and screaming in the front seat of the car in which she is riding with her husband who is driving and recording on his cell phone the scene. The husband purportedly recorded this scene, and subsequently posted it online, so he could show the world what he had to go through and what led him to separate and file a restraining order against her. His wife, on the other hand, has now offered her side of the story claiming she felt like she was being bullied. + +What brought about her behavior? According to the wife, who happens to be a nurse, her husband bullied her and was egging her on in the video. He had promised to take her to the lake on their boat to meet some friends, but changed his mind after they had a fight. She said that her husband held the boat hostage and would often come up with reasons for them not to use the boat all the time. + +The husband related that he had worked a 60 hour week and had told his wife that he was reserving Saturday for chores and errands. But when she asked him to take her out on the lake in their boat and he refused, she didn't like it. He also stated that this wasn't the first tantrum his wife has thrown and that she has routinely shouted at him and told friends and family that it is her husband that is verbally abusive. He added that as usual she threw a fit about not taking her out on the boat, and that in the past she had broken doors off the jambs at our house. What was the result of this sad event in their pick-up truck? He said, “that was the last day I lived in our house. I have moved out and filed a restraining order against her.” + +How sad that a marriage which probably started with love, festivities, and lots of laughter comes to an end with shouting, restraining orders. Chances are, the relationship will end in divorce. Our text tells us God hates divorce because it overwhelms the spouse with cruelty. God hates divorce, because it causes long lasting harm to each spouse, not to speak of the children. Of course there are some who watching this video might say, “better to be divorced than living in a relationship like this.” I would say, better to work to fix the relationship than to live like this, or worse to divorce. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, help us to have a healthy marriage, keep us from ever doing or saying anything that will harm our spouse, and protect our marriage from divorce. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/26-july-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/26-july-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..50ae2a8afe --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/26-july-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: I Hate Divorce +startDate: 07/26/2025 +endDate: 07/26/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/27-july-2025/27-july-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/27-july-2025/27-july-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..b69e13dbea --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/27-july-2025/27-july-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,32 @@ +--- +title: Smoke and Mirrors +date: 07/27/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. 1 Corinthians 13:12 + +### Observation + +Ancient mirrors were made of polished brass or other metals. The contrast is between the inadequate knowledge of an object gained by seeing it reflected in a dim mirror (such as ancient mirrors were), compared with the perfect idea we have of it by seeing itself directly. + +darkly—literally, “in enigma.” As a “mirror” conveys an image to the eye, so an “enigma” to the ear. But neither “eye nor ear” can fully represent (though the believer’s soul gets a small revelation now of) “the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him” (1Co 2:9). Paul alludes to Nu 12:8, “not in dark speeches”; the Septuagint, “not in enigmas.” Compared with the visions and dreams vouchsafed to other prophets, God’s communications with Moses were “not in enigmas.” But compared with the intuitive and direct vision of God hereafter, even the revealed word now is “a dark discourse,” or a shadowing forth by enigma of God’s reflected likeness. + +### Application + +One of the most well-known characters in classic literature and in the movies is Count Dracula, the ghoulish vampire created by Bram Stoker in 1897. Since then, thanks to imagery portrayed in everything from movies to cartoons and even in children’s programs like Sesame Street, vampires have become synonymous with black capes and sharp teeth. Lately there seems to be a rebirth of vampire movies with the added feature of romantic themes as part of the main plot. + +According to the traditional stories of vampires, in order to kill them you must use, among others, a crucifix (a cross with the image of Jesus on it), a silver bullet, or a wooden stake through the heart. But there’s another characteristic often featured in these dark tales: a vampire’s reflection is never seen in the mirror. + +This last feature is so interesting. . . a vampire’s reflection is never seen in a mirror. You might be wondering, what does this have to do with our relationships? Well, let’s think about it; From the emotional point of view, do you see your reflection in the mirror? Can your spouse see the real you? One of the many reasons why some couples have a difficult time resolving conflict in their relationship is because one spouse, and sometimes both, refuses to see him or herself as part of the problem. They live in constant denial even when someone points out these traits or they don’t recognize when they have a bad attitude or when they speak harshly toward others. + +Dating is a time to get to know each other. Unfortunately, at least for a while, people put up these “smoke screens” to protect themselves. It is only with time that we become more vulnerable, open ourselves up to the other person, and let them see us for who we really are. These mirrors, or masks take about a year to come off, which is one of the reasons we recommend that couples date at least one year before they begin to consider marriage. + +If you wish to have a good, healthy relationship, show your real self, let there be no secrets, deception, or false impressions between you, but be true to yourself and your spouse. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, help us to be sincere, open, and honest in our relationship so that we may see each other for who we really are and help each other be the best we can be. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/27-july-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/27-july-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..4bab35af5b --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/27-july-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Smoke and Mirrors +startDate: 07/27/2025 +endDate: 07/27/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/28-july-2025/28-july-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/28-july-2025/28-july-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..7a127e200b --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/28-july-2025/28-july-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,38 @@ +--- +title: The Everlasting Treasure +date: 07/28/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Matthew 6:19-21 + +### Observation + +But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven—The language in Luke (Lu 12:33) is very bold—“Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail.” + +For where your treasure is — that which ye value most. + +there will your heart be also —“Your treasure — your heart” is probably the true reading here: “your,” in Lu 12:34, from which it seems to have come in here. “What a man loves,” said Martin Luther, “that is his God. For he carries it in his heart, he goes about with it night and day, he sleeps and wakes with it; be it what it may—wealth or pelf, pleasure or renown.” + +### Application + +I suppose some people will read the words of Jesus in today’s text and conclude that we should not buy a house, or a car, and that we should not have any kind of savings or checking account, and definitely we should have no investments. In other words, we should pretty much live like hermits, maybe in some sort of commune, and live in a state of constant poverty. + +I’m not sure that’s what Jesus would have liked us to conclude. Some people who have taken His words to that extreme have reached their retirement age and have found themselves impoverished and depending on the charity of others or of their family. Others have had to continue working way past their retirement age, not out of choice but out of necessity. + +I believe that Jesus was talking about accumulating material things excessively, beyond what one could possibly spend in a lifetime. There are people who, in the pursuit of riches, have mistreated, even enslaved, others, or who have lied, cheated, and stolen from others in the process. So we can hear the words of Jesus reminding us that no matter how much we may have accumulated it will do us not good at the end of life. As someone said, you have never seen a hearse pulling a u-haul trailer. + +So, what does Jesus refer to when He says, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” I would like to suggest at least three possibilities: + +1.

When we spend adequate quality and quantity time with our family – our spouse and our children, or our elderly parents – we are helping them in the development of their character for eternity. When we die, that will be the only lasting thing we can take with us.

Scripture

+> (Exo 34:12-16 NKJV) "Take heed to yourself, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where you are going, lest it be a snare in your midst. {13} "But you shall destroy their altars, break their sacred pillars, and cut down their wooden images {14} '(for you shall worship no other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God), {15} "lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they play the harlot with their gods and make sacrifice to their gods, and one of them invites you and you eat of his sacrifice, {16} "and you take of his daughters for your sons, and his daughters play the harlot with their gods and make your sons play the harlot with their gods. + +### Observation + +While it may seem strange to us that God would tell His people to go into the land He was giving them and completely wipe out all the people already living there, we must understand the reasons. The basis for this command is found in the text for today. The BKC explains: “Making a treaty with idolaters would lead to involvement in their sacrificial communal meals (34:15), to intermarrying their daughters (many of whom were spiritual and/or physical prostitutes to their gods; cf. Hosea 4:13-14), and even to making molten images (Ex. 34:17; cf. 20:4) as they had already done with the gold calf (32:4). Tragically Israel did not heed these warnings and they did in fact become involved in worshiping the Canaanites’ and others’ false gods. Ultimately this led to Israel being exiled.” + +It wasn’t only the danger of rejecting God and accepting idols, it was rather what the worship of those idols would, and indeed did, lead them to do. Many of the pagan practices included not just the worship of idols but temple prostitution and ultimately the sacrifice of children in the fire to those idols. God knew how low such compromises would lead them and was trying to protect them from such horror. Sadly, in their blindness and stubbornness, the Israelites disobeyed God, didn’t destroy all the people, entered into relationships with them, accepted their gods, and did sacrifice their children and their altars, both spiritually and physically. + +### Application + +The application for us as parents today should be as clear: don’t compromise principle, choose carefully what you expose your children to. I am amazed at how lightly parents today take the issue of Adventist education as opposed to any other. It’s as if we have been so blinded that we don’t see what harm our children could experience if they went to a public school or a Christian school of a different faith, or what problems may arise if they become close friends with non-Adventists, or what problems may exists if they marry them. And yet, all of us know from personal experience so many people who have indeed taken these steps and now they or their children are no longer Adventists or even believe in God. + +So, watch carefully what you expose your children to – what they read, what they watch, who they associate with, where they go to school, etc. Those decisions could have eternal consequences. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, today as during the Exodus we as parents need all the wisdom You can possibly give us to make the right decisions. I may not be anymore challenging to be a parent today than in other times, but this is our time, these are our challenges, and those are the decisions we have to make. So, please endow us with the courage, the strength, and the wisdom to do what is right, even if it’s no popular with our children or others. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/29-july-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/29-july-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..2a4b6b0635 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/29-july-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: No Compromise +startDate: 07/29/2025 +endDate: 07/29/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/30-july-2025/30-july-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/30-july-2025/30-july-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..718ef0d7a6 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/30-july-2025/30-july-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,32 @@ +--- +title: Better Than Wine +date: 07/30/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Song of Songs 4:10 (NASB) + +### Observation + +Both bride and groom describe their lover’s beauty with exuberant praise (vv. 1–15; 5:10–16; 6:4–10; 7:1–9), similar to the praise songs in modern rural Syrian weddings. The mutual praises present dynamic strength and movement and often refer to moral qualities of the lovers. [Andrews Study Bible Notes. 2010 (J. L. Dybdahl, Ed.). Berrien Springs, MI: Andrews University Press.] + +The word rendered love was used for physical expressions of romantic love. The verse might be more accurately translated, “How delightful are your kisses. How much more pleasing are your caresses than wine.” Her physical expressions of love had a more refreshing and intoxicating effect on him than wine, just as his expressions had earlier affected her. Even her perfume added to the excitement of their love. The senses of sight, touch, smell, and sound were involved in their love-making. [Walvoord, J. F., Zuck, R. B., & Dallas Theological Seminary. (1985). The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures. Wheaton, IL: Victor Books.] + +### Application + +Several actions and attitudes made the relationship between the groom and the bride in the Song of Solomon special and vibrant. + +1. They compliment each other, particularly each others looks or appearance. Over and over you find detailed descriptions of each others body in ways that flatter the other. We all need to hear those words, at least from time to time. Compliment your spouse on the way they look, what you like about their body, when they wear something you like, when they take care of themselves, the way the do their hair, or when they shave. Remind yourself, and your spouse, of those things about them that made you fall in love with them and which you still love about them. + +2. This couple understood how pleasant it is the smell of the person you love. Because we are very sensitive to smell, we should practice good hygiene, shower regularly, brush your teeth, go to the dentist for regular cleaning. Some people enjoy the fragrances of perfumes, colognes, after shave lotions, etc. If you do, let your partner know that you like the fragrance they’re wearing. And if your partner tells you they like a specific fragrance you wear then wear it often, particularly for special occasions. + +3. They also expressed their love in physical ways. The word “love” evidently refers to physical touch. The caress of a loving spouse, writes Solomon, has the pleasant, even intoxicating effect that alcohol provides those who drink it. Pleasant touch gives you a high of sorts, a healthy, passionate feeling of closeness to your spouse. Practice regular touch through hugs, caressing your spouse when you’re sitting together and, of course, in bed. + +Begin to practice at least one of these three regularly; when you do so you will be showing your spouse, in tangible ways, how much you love them as the one God put in your life. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, help us to express our love for each other in physical and verbal ways so that we may maintain a strong, healthy, and mutually satisfying relationship for the rest of our lives. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/30-july-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/30-july-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..97f4156d7c --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/30-july-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Better Than Wine +startDate: 07/30/2025 +endDate: 07/30/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/31-july-2025/31-july-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/31-july-2025/31-july-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..a11cc47af8 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/07-july-2025/31-july-2025/31-july-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,30 @@ +--- +title: At Daybreak +date: 07/31/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> Oh, satisfy us early with Your mercy, That we may rejoice and be glad all our days! Psalm 90:14 + +### Observation + +The psalmist pleaded with the Lord to have compassion on His servants (cf. v. 16). This was their only hope. + +In showing compassion the Lord was asked to turn their sorrow (cf. v. 10) into joy. If God satisfied them with His loyal love (?ese?), they could then rejoice all their days. The psalmist asked God to let them rejoice for as long as He had given them over to trouble. Verses 14–15 seem to suggest that the nation was undergoing a particularly severe period of chastening for sin, a “night” of trouble as it were. The morning suggests a new era of joy for God’s people. [Walvoord, J. F., Zuck, R. B., & Dallas Theological Seminary. (1985). The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures. Wheaton, IL: Victor Books.] + +### Application + +The Jewish Study Bible renders our verse for today this way: “Satisfy us at daybreak with Your steadfast love that we may sing for joy all our days.” The commentators of the same Bible explain that “Morning is the time of renewal, the time that God answers prayers” (Psalm 143:8). I’m glad God doesn’t answers prayers only in the morning. + +For those of us morning people, that time when we get up is special because we’re eager to begin the day, our mind is actively working, and our time for prayer is very special. At the same time, for us morning people the evening time is challenging, our heads are clouded, and all we think about is the moment when our heads will hit the pillow. For night people, evening is the time when they do their best thinking, they love to read, and when they finally go to bed, it is usually several hours after other members of the family have called it a day. + +Regardless on when you pray – morning or evening – the psalmist calls us to spend some good, quality time speaking with God about our needs, our concerns, and our fears, pleading with Him for His mercy to cover us and that we may rejoice and be glad not just today but all our days. We don’t need to live in some sort of Christian utopia where we are always happy and never sad. What the psalmist tells us, however, is that in the midst of our challenges and even sorrow we can find reasons to rejoice in God. That is something we need in all our relationships because at some time or another sorrow and pain will come to our lives. + +May your daily prayers fill you with the assurance of God’s mercy, and may He bring you gladness every day of your life. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, help us to maintain that daily communication, indeed communion, with You everyday.

Scripture

+> We have sinned and committed iniquity, we have done wickedly and rebelled, even by departing from Your precepts and Your judgments. Daniel 9:5 + +### Observation + +we have sinned. Not “they have sinned.” Daniel was a righteous man and the Bible does not record any sin that he committed, but he identified himself with his people in this prayer of intercession. [Andrews Study Bible Notes. 2010 (J. L. Dybdahl, Ed.). Berrien Springs, MI: Andrews University Press.] Compare 1 Kings 8:47; Ps. 106:6. Daniel identifies himself with his people. There is no self-righteousness in his prayer. + +### Application + +In the entire bible, we read of very few people whom we would describe as pure and blameless. Jesus, of course, comes to the top of the list immediately as someone who was perfect and sinless in everything he did. An example of purity and wholesomeness is also found in Joseph and Mary, Jesus earthly parents. + +In the Old Testament we find the example of two young men, both taken to foreign lands, and both live exemplary lives. Joseph was sold into slavery by his jealous brothers and yet was able to maintain a positive attitude and a strong connection with God. And the wonderful thing is that God recognized his mellow disposition, his desire to maintain himself pure, and his forgiving spirit and elevated him to the second highest place in the land. + +The other character in the Old Testament about whom we don’t read anything for which he should be reproached is Daniel. He was taken into captivity, along with many other young people from Israel, to be retrained in Babylon. From the very beginning of his captivity he exemplified a commitment to God and to the principles he had obviously learned at home and, like Joseph, maintain himself uncontaminated by the Babylonian culture. Like Joseph, God blessed Daniel and elevated him to a high position in the court of Babylon. + +What’s interesting about Daniel, among many others, is his prayer of intercession we read in chapter 9. We might not say that Daniel was perfect, or even sinless, but he certainly had demonstrated a stronger commitment to God than many others had. And yet, when he prays for his people he confesses not just their sins but includes himself in their rebellion. He doesn’t say, “they” have sinned, but rather “we” have sinned. + +As parents we certainly can’t claim perfection. But what Daniel’s prayer suggest to me is that we can, and should, pray for our children, interceding on their behalf, but we should include ourselves in those prayers. We too have sinned, we have failed God and others, we have rebelled. Our intercessory prayers should not just be a demonstration of our goodness compared to their failures but rather a recognition that as much as they are not perfect we also have fallen short of God’s ideal, that we also struggle with our fallen nature, that need His help as much as they do. + +But beside identifying ourselves with them in our intercessory prayers for our children we should also confess our failures, our mistakes, our shortcomings to them. I don’t believe they expect perfection of their parents and feel better when we don’t act as if we know everything and never make a mistake. Being transparent and recognizing we also fall, can help them as they face their own struggles. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, help us to be more willing to recognize our shortfalls and confess them not only to you but to our children when we make mistakes in the way we treat them. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/01-august-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/01-august-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..c12dcd78fc --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/01-august-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: We Have Sinned +startDate: 08/01/2025 +endDate: 08/01/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/02-august-2025/02-august-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/02-august-2025/02-august-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..326b107f28 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/02-august-2025/02-august-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,50 @@ +--- +title: Hypocrisy in Marriage? +date: 08/02/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

The implication is that they are experiencing divine judgment for their disobedience (see Deut. 28:38–40), just as their ancestors had who were taken into exile. [Andrews Study Bible Notes. 2010 (J.

[The Seventh©day Adventist Bible Commentary, Volume 4. 1977 (F. D. Nichol, Ed.). Review and Herald Publishing Association.] + +### Application + +What the prophet Haggai describes as taking place in Israel is so descriptive also of the attitude of so many in our day. People continue to work themselves to death in order to have the bigger house, the newer car, the latest electronic gadget, the finest clothes, the largest bank account. In that desperate search to be number one, the most famous, the fastest, the best, many have neglected, if not destroyed, what is really most important. Athletes have been injected with steroids and have grown in physical strength, wealth, and prominence only to be found out and stripped of their gold, their income, and their fame. Movie stars have gone in and out of rehabilitation centers, and many have even lost their lives or taken their lives while their loyal fans adore and even envy them. + +One does not have to look at the rich and famous for this desire to be the best and have the most. At our place of work there are people willing to do anything to rise to the top. They will lie, cheat, betray co-workers, take credit for the work others have done, anything to be considered for higher positions in the company. At school, some students plagiarize assignments, pay others to do their work, or cheat on exams so they can have the best of grades. + +Even in church we sometimes see people who want a particular position in church – they want to be the head deacon, the head elder, or the leader in some department. Some will even try to undermine the pastor or the church leaders in their pursuit of power, position, and control.

For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. . . 19 For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. . . 24 O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? 25 I thank God--through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin. Romans 7:15-25 + +### Observation + +**_O wretched man that I am!_** who shall deliver me from the body of this death?—The apostle speaks of the “body” here with reference to “the law of sin” which he had said was “in his members,” but merely as the instrument by which the sin of the heart finds vent in action, and as itself the seat of the lower appetites (see on Ro 6:6, and Ro 7:5); and he calls it “the body of this death,” as feeling, at the moment when he wrote, the horrors of that death (Ro 6:21, and Ro 7:5) into which it dragged him down. But the language is not that of a sinner newly awakened to the sight of his lost state; it is the cry of a living but agonized believer, weighed down under a burden which is not himself, but which he longs to shake off from his renewed self. Nor does the question imply ignorance of the way of relief at the time referred to. It was designed only to prepare the way for that outburst of thankfulness for the divinely provided remedy which immediately follows. [Jamieson, R., Fausset, A. R., & Brown, D. (1997). Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible. Oak Harbor, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc.] + +### Application + +Paul’s experience is one that probably all of us have been able to identify with at some point or another. We all struggle with different areas in our lives. We have been able to win some battles, but we all still struggle with something or another. For some it may controlling our temper. For others what and how much we eat. Some struggle with addictions, their use, or misuse, of the tongue, or disciplining themselves at work or at home. + +Husbands and wives at times struggle with how they behave toward one another. They love each other, but they battle for supremacy, for control in the relationship and often are unkind, if not rude or abusive, toward one another. They don’t like doing it, they reproach themselves for their bad behavior, it saddens them, and yet they continue to do it. When something is done enough times it becomes a habit, and the longer a habit is repeated the more entrenched it becomes and the harder it is to overcome. In marriage, those habits that cause pain - emotionally, physically, or spiritually – to our spouse will eventually damage our relationship, in some cases irreparably. + +Obviously, one thing you can do is to work on stopping bad behaviors or habits and establishing new ones. The brain has the capacity of building new pathways, new and healthier behaviors. For instance, if you smoke, the habit of reaching for a cigarette 20-40 times a day is strengthened with every new cigarette you smoke. In order to break that habit, you will need to establish a new one – maybe doodle on a piece of paper, or chew gum, or take a shower – until the new habit is stronger than the old one. If you have a habit that is hurting your relationship, establish a new pattern, a new and healthier habit, until the old pattern gets weaker and the new pattern gets stronger. + +Of course, we must not forget the last part of today’s verses. We can try to make changes in our attitude and behavior, in our words and in our actions, and we may be successful up to a certain point. But ultimate and lasting victory can only be achieved through Jesus Christ. As we surrender our will to Him, as we contemplate His life, little by little we are changed to resemble Him more and us less. Serving Him is establishing a new pattern for our lives, a better way of living, a healthier way of life. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, help me to overcome the bad habits that are destroying me and the relationships with the people around me, and instead help me to establish new patterns and a new lifestyle that promotes health, happiness, and wholeness in us. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/04-august-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/04-august-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..a6f81f581e --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/04-august-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: I Don't Do It On Purpose +startDate: 08/04/2025 +endDate: 08/04/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/05-august-2025/05-august-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/05-august-2025/05-august-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..a9ccdf4dad --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/05-august-2025/05-august-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,22 @@ +--- +title: Attention to Detail +date: 08/05/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

When we are close to Jesus we will desire for Him to change us and not just trying to use Him to change our spouse so they can be what we want them to be.

Most who never have been married say they would like to be at some point in their lives, but statistics show Americans aren’t rushing to the altar, and the U.S. marriage rate is at an all-time low — only 51% of adults were married in 2011, according to U.S. Census Bureau statistics. + +Americans are more inclined to choose “love” as a reason for marriage than any other factor. In a 2010 Pew Research Center survey, love wins out over “making a lifelong commitment,” as well as “companionship,” “having children,” and “financial stability” as a very important reason to wed. + +Among married people, 93% say love is a very important reason to get married; 84% of unmarried people say so. Men and women are equally likely to say love is a very important reason to get married. But love only goes so far. Most Americans cast cold water on a central premise of that each person in the universe has only one true love. About seven-in-ten (69%) people do not agree with that notion; only 28% do. Among those who do agree, men (31%) are slightly more likely to do so than women (26%). Young and old, married and unmarried are equally skeptical. + +According to the website “Short Facts,” here are the top five reasons why people get married: + +5. Security In Terms of Finance: Marriage is like a plan for the future. Two people bringing in income for the family makes the family unit a lot stronger and helps to overcome difficulties such as illnesses, college education for future children, and other expensive affairs. + +4. Assistance In Raising A Family: When you have a partner working by your side you will have an easier time raising the children. Studies show that children that are raised by both the mother and the father are likely to do better than children that are raised by one parent. + +3. Support To Make a Proper Household: Having a partner by your side will make it easier for the couple to invest in a home. You will be able to combine the money together and this will allow you to live a comfortable lifestyle. It will build unity between the two people and it will build character along the way. Marriage will allow the couple to have a better standard of living. + +2. Romance Is A Must: The commitment to the relationship has a lot to do with marriage and it makes the marriage very formal. Statistics show that those people that live together before marriage are more likely to split up than those who wait until they are married to live together. + +1. Lifelong Companion: When you get married you will have someone to share your thoughts with, you will have a date 24/7, and you will be able to go places with that person. Being married will allow you to have a companion in your life that is there for you whenever you need him/her. + +All these five are good and valid reasons for getting married; in fact, these are the top reasons many get married. As Christians, though, marriage is more than a nice arrangement that helps us financially, emotionally, and socially. Marriage is an opportunity to fulfil God’s plan for our lives, to live His love and grace through us, to illustrate the type of relationship He desires to have with us, and that together we may love, worship, and serve Him. In Paul’s words, Marriage helps so that we “may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” What an awesome opportunity we have, as husband and wife, and together with our children, to glorify God together. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, may our life as husbands and wives, and as parents and children, be lived in such a way that we will glorify you daily because You deserve it but also so that others may come to know you and the love You have for them. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/07-august-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/07-august-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..e150729cc3 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/07-august-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Why Get Married? +startDate: 08/07/2025 +endDate: 08/07/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/08-august-2025/08-august-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/08-august-2025/08-august-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..8a5d093fba --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/08-august-2025/08-august-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,32 @@ +--- +title: Created to do Good +date: 08/08/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Paul writes in Ephesians 5:25, “Husbands, love your wives JUST AS Christ loved the church and gave Himself for her to sanctify her.” We need to stop to think about how Jesus has treated His bride. He lived for her and even died for her. We could also look at His relationship with the church from a different angle, that is, what Jesus has never done to His bride – He’s never hurt, abused, neglected, or abandoned His bride. + +Our effort, as husbands, should be in imitating Jesus, but treating our wives sacrificially, not selfishly. Every action and every word should be aimed at blessing and helping them. Now, I am the first one to confess that I have fallen far short of that goal, which is the reason I must continue to draw close to Christ that I may imitate Him and be changed more into His image so that my words and actions will not just be mine but His through me. + +The same is true in our relationship to our children.

If compelled to be in the society of those who are evil, you are not compelled to enter into or engage in their evil.

Here are some things you might want to begin doing: + +1. Personal time of prayer. Besides the private time for “verbal” prayer, you may consider writing down your prayers. Some people tell me that they get distracted during their prayer; this is one way to stay on track. Another way to eliminate distractions during prayer is to pray out loud – speak your prayers. + +2. Couple prayer – set aside time in the morning, before going your separate ways, or at night, before going to bed, for prayer together with your spouse. Read a passage from the bible, or a portion of a book on marriage, and then pray together. Take turns praying for each other every day. + +3. Pray for your children. Set time for a short prayer with your children. If they are away, e-mail them or text them a few words to remind them you love them and you are praying for them. Be specific about your prayers for them and tell them so: “You’re in my mind and prayers today as you take that test.” “I wish you the best during your job interview. . . I will be praying for you.” + +4. Pray with and for your family. Gather the family for morning and/or evening worship. Make it short, age appropriate, and enjoyable. Ellen White tells us about this special time: “Questions may be asked, a few earnest, interesting remarks made, or incident, short and to the point, may be brought in by way of illustration.

Scripture

+> Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:13-14, NKJV) + +### Observation + +_**forgetting those things… behind**_—Looking back is sure to end in going back (Lu 9:62): So Lot’s wife (Lu 17:32). If in stemming a current we cease pulling the oar against it, we are carried back. God’s word to us is as it was to Israel, “Speak unto the children of Israel that they go forward” (Ex 14:15). The Bible is our landmark to show us whether we are progressing or retrograding. + +_**reaching forth**_—with hand and foot, like a runner in a race, and the body bent forward. The Christian is always humbled by the contrast between what he is and what he desires to be. The eye reaches before and draws on the hand, the hand reaches before and draws on the foot [Bengel]. + +[Jamieson, R., Fausset, A. R., & Brown, D. (1997). Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible. Oak Harbor, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc.] + +### Application + +Looking back at what has happened in your relationship, at the hurts, and at the wounds, will only keep you stuck in the sink hole of resentment. The very word, resentment, comes from two Latin words which together mean “to feel again.” Looking back at the hurts makes you feel the pain all over again. What would be a better option to deal with resentment? I suggest five steps to deal with it: + +1. Make the decision that you’re going to stay married, no matter what. Repeat it to yourself often. Say it out loud and figure out what you need to do so both of you can make that commitment. + +2. Put time into your marriage. Unless you are intentional about changing the future, you may repeat the mistakes of the past. This is particularly important if you have children. It is possible that, like a lot of parents, once your children were born you devoted a lot of time to caring for them and neglected taking time for your relationship. Don’t continue to make the same mistake and instead devote time to cultivating a close, strong relationship with your spouse. Make him/her feel special, that he/she is the most important person in your life. + +3. Figure out what you’re getting out of getting from being resentful. Do you feel better? Maybe you do feel better for a brief moment. Maybe you have given your spouse a bit of his/her own medicine. Maybe you have had your moment of “vengeance.” And then what? What does staying stuck in that resentment really accomplish, anyway? Besides driving another wedge between you and your spouse, what real benefit have you derived for yourself or for your relationship? Nelson Mandela is said to have made this statement: “Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies.” + +4. Figure out what specifically hurt you and what you need to do to forgive. Sometimes we have a big challenge trying to forgive because we think about everything that has happened or that has been done to us. Just like eating a complete meal, it is easier if we do it one bite at a time. In the case of forgiveness, you may need to forgive one offense at a time. + +5. If you’re still feeling resentful, try renegotiating with your spouse. Sit down and calmly tell your spouse how you’re feeling and why, without pointing an accusing finger but rather speaking of your feelings. Use “I statements” rather than “you statements.” Ask him/her for their help and support to stop doing what has caused you pain in the past. It’s important to forgive, but it is also important to protect yourself and ensure that the same painful events will not happen again. + +Today’s text reminds us that we need to stop looking back and instead keep looking forward. Any relationship that stays in the past will not be able to move forward. Leave the past behind (forgive), and look forward to a better future. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, help us to forgive the past, stop looking back with resentment to what we cannot change, but rather look forward to the future by making the necessary changes in the present. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/10-august-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/10-august-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..0d23970c64 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/10-august-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Move Forward +startDate: 08/10/2025 +endDate: 08/10/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/11-august-2025/11-august-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/11-august-2025/11-august-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..bac740aeb1 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/11-august-2025/11-august-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,32 @@ +--- +title: My Spouse, My Friend +date: 08/11/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> His mouth is full of sweetness. And he is wholly desirable. This is my beloved and this is my friend. Song of Songs 5:16 (NASB) + +### Observation + +“Why is he better than others? I’m glad you asked!” The Shulamite’s friends asked what was so special about Solomon that she would want so badly to find him (5:9). She responded with lavish words of praise that form a counterpart to Solomon’s praise of her (5:10–16; see 4:1–15). + +### Application + +There are several things that call my attention in this passage. + +1. She verbalizes her admiration of her beloved. Willard Harley, Christian psychologist and author of books such as His Needs, Her Needs, and Love Busters, writes that one of the most important emotional needs for most men is admiration. He needs to know that his wife admires him and affirms him, that she is his biggest cheerleader, that she expresses appreciation for what he is and what he does. To wives we tell them, make an ongoing list of the things that your husband does and tell him how much you appreciate him for each and every one of them. Don’t take him for granted, and don’t assume that what he does, even the smallest of actions, is what he’s supposed to do and therefore does not deserve to be told a thank you for them. + +2. Good hygiene is important for romance. Smelly, sweaty, duty bodies don’t encourage romance. Bad breath does not invite loving, passionate kissing. To husbands in particular we encourage you to maintain good hygiene by shaving, taking showers daily and after strenuous exercise or manual labor, by wearing deodorant, by brushing his teeth after eating and going to the dentist for regular cleaning. + +3. Passion and desire should be reserved for your spouse. Because men tend to be more visual than women, they find their wives desirable as they look at them – the way they dress and fix their hair, the way their bodies look, the way they walk and their demeanor toward them. For women, they find their husbands desirable when they initiate worship with her and with the family, when he is kind and polite, when he listens attentively to them, when they make time to spend wit their wives. It is not things, money, riches that we as husbands and wives desire as much as loving actions and words from our spouse. + +4. Friendship is vital for a good marriage. Someone said that you should marry your best friend. Whether you can marry your best friend or not, you can cultivate such a relationship with your spouse so that he/she will become your best friend. What that means is that he/she will be your confidant, the person you will trust with anything and everything you have and you know, that there will not be any secrets between you and that you will not be afraid to express your feelings to him/her. + +Enjoy every day the love and friendship from your spouse, and make sure you make every day a positive experience for them. . . it will pay great dividends for your relationship and for your family. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, thank You for giving me my best friend to live with me as my spouse.

Scripture

+> (Lev 8:33 NKJV) "And you shall not go outside the door of the tabernacle of meeting for seven days, until the days of your consecration are ended. For seven days he shall consecrate you. + +### Observation + +At the beginning of Leviticus 8 we read that it was time to dedicate Aaron and his sons to the priesthood, so Moses told them to wash themselves – a physical cleansing necessary to prepare them for the spiritual cleansing. Then Moses put on them the priestly garments that had been specifically designed for them. The next step in the process was the ritual of the spiritual cleansing, which included several sacrifices and placing blood on the right ear lobe, right thumb, and right big toe of the foot, as well as sprinkling blood on their garments – all of these symbolizing that the blood of the sacrifice was covering their sin and enabling them to serve and minister on behalf of the people. There was one more step necessary before they could begin their ministry, and that was a seven-day consecration of themselves. It was not until these seven days were finished that they could officially begin the daily and annual ministrations of the sanctuary, but from then on and until Israel forfeited their call by rejecting the Messiah, the Levitical priesthood would remain an integral part of the spiritual life of the nation of Israel. + +### Application + +The rituals and ceremonies surrounding the beginning of the Levitical priesthood remind me of all that is involved in the process of becoming husband and wife. On the wedding day, the man and the woman go through a process of cleansing and preparing themselves. Some ladies go to the beauty shop, get their hair and nails done, some get a pedicure and make-up applied. The man might have gotten a hair cut and in the morning of his wedding he shaves and takes a cleansing shower. Then the couple, separately, get their wedding clothes on – he gets his tuxedo on, she gets help to get her wedding gown on. From their separate homes the couple makes their way to the church or wedding chapel, being careful that he does not see her before the ceremony. At last, the groom goes up to the front of the church with his best man and the pastor, the rest of the wedding marches in, and finally the bride, holding on to her father’s arm, marches down the aisle to join the awaiting groom where they proceed together through the wedding ceremony where they are legally and religiously united as one in the sight of God and all who have gathered to witness their union. + +There is one more tradition part that cannot be overlooked in this process of becoming one – the honeymoon. While some people view it as a sort of vacation during which the couple travels to exotic places, swim at beautiful beaches, cruise or fly from one place to the next, the honeymoon is the time when the couple consummates their marriage. From now on, they are one and their covenant must remain “for as long as they live.” The honeymoon serves as a way to seal their commitment to one another, and most importantly, to God, by fulfilling His plan for their lives of becoming one and by committing to not let anyone or anything come between them. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Loving Father, we rededicate ourselves to You this day, as husband and wife, to remain together, under Your will and blessings, and for Your honor and glory, for the rest of our lives.

We are behind you, so be strong and take action.” Ezra 10:4 (NLT) + +### Observation + +**_This matter belongeth unto thee._** Or, “it is your task” (RSV). Since Ezra’s commission included the responsibility of executing judgment on those who would not obey the law of God (ch. 7:26), Ezra was morally obligated to take action. Shechaniah’s assurance, “we are with you” (RSV), must have greatly encouraged Ezra, who realized that any action he might take in this matter would make him most unpopular with a considerable number of guilty men. + +**_Then arose Ezra_**. Without hesitation he acted at once, binding the religious leaders by an oath to carry out the suggestion of Shechaniah, with which Ezra was in complete agreement.

Those dads cared for an estimated 369,000 children. + +2. Fathers have nearly tripled the amount of time they spend with their children, from 2.5 hours in 1965 to 7.3 hours per week in 2011, according to a Pew Research report that analyzed years of time-use data. Despite that increase, 46% of fathers said they spent too little time with their children, compared with 23% of mothers who said the same; half of dads said they spent the right amount of time. + +3. In 2009 there were about 2.4 million custodial fathers (that is, raising their children while the mother was living elsewhere), versus 11.2 million custodial mothers, according to a Census Bureau report. About 619,000 custodial fathers were due child support; collectively, they received about $1.9 billion. + +4. More than three-quarters of new fathers took one week or less off from work after the birth or adoption of their most recent child, according to a 2011 Boston College study of fathers at four large companies; 16% didn’t take any time off at all. Most new mothers at the same companies took anywhere from six to 12 weeks off. Of those who took time off, 92% of fathers said they had a positive experience being with their child during that time. + +5. Forget the ties, “World’s Best Dad” T-shirts and other clothing clichés: According to a 2012 poll from market-research firm Ipsos, most dads would prefer to either spend quality time with their families on Father’s Day (40%) or receive no gift at all (22%).

Scripture

+> Do not withhold good from those who deserve it when it’s in your power to help them. Proverbs 3:27 (NLT) + +### Observation + +The wise man turns suddenly to practical matters and begins each of the next five verses with a statement of prohibition. There is a timeliness about deeds of kindness that multiplies their value. To withhold good that is within one’s power to perform is to rob God as well as man. The Son of man upon the throne of judgment regards those who neglect the least of His brethren as neglecting the Master Himself (Matt. 25:45). + +If we delay the payment of a lawful debt when we are well able to settle the account, we are defrauding our creditor of the use of his own money, and we may seriously inconvenience him. In the same way the withholding of assistance from one in need aggravates unnecessarily his trouble. We may find, when eventually setting about to offer the help so much required, that it is too late. The evil may already have overtaken the unfortunate one, or some less dilatory benefactor may have gained the blessing we were too slow to secure. [The Seventh©day Adventist Bible Commentary, Volume 3. 1977 (F. D. Nichol, Ed.). Review and Herald Publishing Association.] + +### Application + +The Christian life should be characterized by generosity in light of the fact that God has been so generous with us with His grace, His love, His forgiveness, and His salvation. In Old Testament times, God made provision for the widows, orphans, and the poor by telling those who owned land to leave some of what was being harvested behind for those who needed it. This was an act which benefitted the poor, because they didn’t have anything, as well as the wealthy because it should inculcate in the spirit of generosity. + +Many give to special projects, charitable organizations, or people in their time of need. Recently I heard of a young man with cerebral palsy who has received donations to help him with a surgery which would help him greatly by providing more mobility. However, that young man heard of a young child, also with cerebral palsy, and also in need of surgery, so he gave all that had been donated for his own surgery so the young child could have it instead. What an act of generosity on his part! + +The widow who gave everything she had, and was given special mention by Jesus, is another example of giving sacrificially. She didn’t just give some leftovers, or a small portion while keeping a good portion, or any portion for herself. Instead, she gave everything she had. + +How generous are we with those closest to us? I’m not referring only to financial generosity, however. How generous are we with our appreciation for them? How generous are we in expressing praise and affirmation for what they do? How often do we shower them with words that lift them up, encourage them, bring joy to them? We may think great, warm thoughts about them, but do not tell them.

The Prodigal Son felt that emptiness and regret and headed for home. Joseph, in the Old Testament, longed for home. The Israelites who were taken captive to Babylon and other lands wished to be home. “Alongside Babylon's rivers we sat on the banks; we cried and cried, remembering the good old days in Zion.” Psalm 137:1 (MSG) + +Those of us born in a faraway country miss the place where we grew up. Some of us live far from family and friends, far from the food we ate, the places we visited, where we vacationed and had so many memories with those we loved. + +But now we have our own family and we have the opportunity to build new memories with them. We can travel together to faraway places or to the local attractions. What’s important is not how much money is spent in the process but how much time you get to spend together. It may not be a very expensive meal at some upscale restaurant but simply corn on the cob eaten in the back porch of your house. But more importantly that any place you may visit is the loving, peaceful time spent with your family at home. That’s why it is so important to provide for all in the family with a good, wholesome environment they can look forward to returning to. + +For husbands, this is particularly important. After battling with the world, we men look forward to coming home to a place where we can feel loved, where we can relax, where we can disconnect from what we have been dealing with all day. It doesn’t mean that he can come home and do nothing while the wife takes care of everything – cooking, cleaning, the care of the children – while the husband simply watches TV. What it means is that he doesn’t want to get home to a wife waiting with a list of complaints or chores for him to deal with. Some men work longer hours just so they don’t have to come home to be faced with a nagging wife. “It's better to stay outside on the roof of your house than to live inside with a nagging wife.” Proverbs 21:9 (CEV) + +Create at hope a place of respite, a place where the members will feel loved and comfortable, and a place where they will want to come back to. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, help us to create in our home a place to come back to, a little foretaste of heaven. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/16-august-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/16-august-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..90251e6378 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/16-august-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: A Place of Rest +startDate: 08/16/2025 +endDate: 08/16/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/17-august-2025/17-august-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/17-august-2025/17-august-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..b35181224b --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/17-august-2025/17-august-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,50 @@ +--- +title: A Lasting Heritage +date: 08/17/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

Jeremiah 2:32 (CEV) + +### Observation + +Oriental women greatly pride themselves on their ornaments (compare Is 61:10). + +_**forgotten me**_ — (Je 13:25; Ho 8:14). To the question posed by Jeremiah, a “no” answer is expected. It would have been equally unnatural for God to forget Israel. But Judah had done worse than forget the outward memorials of marriage. . . she had forgotten her Husband (see ch. 3:14). + +### Application + +As we read today’s text we are presented with a most preposterous situation. On her wedding day, probably the most important and memorable day of her life, the bride is careful to have everything just right. Recently the news reported an event that shows how important this day is for the bride. On the day of her wedding, a bride called 911 to report that her car, with her wedding gown inside, had been stolen. As the news played the 911 tape one could hear the anguish and pain in the bride’s voice. Interestingly enough, the dispatcher asked what her size was and it was exactly the same as the dispatcher’s. Immediately the dispatcher offered to lend the bride her own wedding gown, took it to the place where she was getting ready for her wedding, and was able to wear it on her special day. + +It would be preposterous to think that the bride, who would have her wedding gown ready, and who would make sure her hair and makeup would be just right, would forget her husband to be. Some brides have that inner fear, small as it may be, that the groom would suddenly change his mind and not show up for the wedding. Some brides have indeed gone through that experience. But how many brides have done everything in their power to be ready for their wedding except have a husband? + +What Jeremiah portrays is our situation when we leave God our of our life, out of our marriage, or out of our family life. It is preposterous! And yet, many have done just that to the detriment of their own lives, and marriages, and families. We go about our lives as if God doesn’t even exist. We work, get a paycheck, spend it, buy things, travel, attend entertainment events, and in general terms live our lives as if God had not made it possible for us to have life, and work, and money. And then they find themselves one day not liking, much less loving, the person they married and the family they have formed and believe that the solution is leaving to start all over again with someone else. If the research is correct, second marriages last less than first marriages, third marriages less than second marriages and so on. And it is at the end of a series of relationships that they find themselves empty and alone. Some, thankfully, look to God for help before it is too late. Others, sadly, simply continue on that downward spiral until they die, many at their own hands. + +What God invites us to do, through Jeremiah and other Bible writers, is to turn to God before it is too late. Begin by praying for and with your spouse. Pray for God’s guidance and blessings, for a resurgence of love, for the power to forgive, for the ability to make positive changes, for patience, for wisdom, for the ability to see the best in the other, for God to change us from the inside out. Turn to God before it is too late for your marriage and for your family. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, help us to turn to You with all our hearts and not forget You.

On the one hand, sometimes we worry about everything to the point that it paralyzes us, at least temporarily. I’m not speaking of a pathological fear, but worrying about the job, and the traffic, the kids, finances, the weather. . . everything. We may be tempted to quote Jesus to them, “Don't worry about tomorrow. It will take care of itself.

While they do those things for themselves their spouses or their families live as if they were not part of their lives, as if they didn’t exist. And then one day, they find themselves completely alienated from each other. + +The worst punishment for those who take their relationship and their family for granted is the demise of their marriage and the loss of their children. They wonder then what could have happened, and often blame others for what happened. It was their spouse, or the school, or the church, or something else or someone else. They ask, why did God do that to them? Why didn’t God keep their family together? Why have their children rejected the church, and God Himself? They seem to live in a world of denial, refusing to accept the fact that they may be responsible for what happened to their marriage and to their family. + +Before it is too late, look at your life, the time you spend with your family, with your wife and kids, and how much of that time is quality time.

Proverbs 13:10 (NLT) + +### Observation + +_**Pride.**_ Heb. zadon, “insolence,” “presumptuousness.” The contrast here is between the one who is too proud to take advice and who feel insulted if anyone suggests that he needs it, and the wise man who listens to the advice of men of experience. Not only does the proud man quarrel with those who would instruct him, but he gets into other disputes of various kinds as a result of following his own ill-advised ways (see chs. 11:2; 12:15).

Review and Herald Publishing Association.] + +### Application + +Disagreements and arguments crop up in even the best marriages. It's not the absence of conflict but rather how conflict is handled that is an important key to marital success or failure. Some of the most current research confirms that poorly handled conflict between married couples can negatively influence mental, physical, and family health. Feelings of anger, bitterness, and unhappiness, which sometimes leads to separation and divorce, often result. + +The question is, what cause conflict in marriage? Although no two situations are alike, there are some common patterns that often result in marital conflict and sometimes even leads to infidelity in a marriage, separation, or divorce. Here are some of those possible causes: + +_**1. Unacknowledged or Unresolved Anger or Resentment.**_ Anger and resentment that are not dealt with may be the trigger for future conflict. Disagreements over finances, sex, parenting, in-laws, or spirituality are reported as some of the most common issues over which couples have conflict. + +_**2. Taking each other for granted and becoming bored with the relationship**_. Instead of always growing in intimacy, some couples settle for a comfortable relationship and don’t strive to improve it. Unfortunately, many begin to focus on the negative things they see in their spouse and use them to criticize and even attack their perceived weaknesses. + +_**3. “The “Mid-life Crisis.”**_ When individuals reach a certain age which has come to be known as “mid-life,” they get a certain itch, a boredom with the relationship, and with their own life. One of the interesting features of this phase is that is based primarily on the fear of growing old or older and of being less attractive or less desirable. It is now recognized that this insecurity is usually rooted in self-esteem issues from childhood or adolescence. + +_**4. A Narcissistic Personality Style.**_ This describes a spouse who is so excessively self-involved and ego-centric that he or she doesn’t seem to have any regard or compassion for the needs or desires of others, including those of his or her spouse. They don’t seem to feel any guilt, remorse, or shame for their hurtful or inappropriate behavior toward their spouse. + +_**5. Unhealthy Communication Patterns**_. It is commonly known that many couples have patterns of communication that lead to conflict, and that in order to change those patterns they need to be taught good communication skills. The good news is that these skills can be learned. + +_**6. Pride.**_ Today’s text also teaches us that pride leads to conflict. Sinful, human nature seeks control. As long as we allow our sinful nature, and therefore pride, to control us, we will seek to control our spouse. If they also allow their sinful, human nature to control them, they will seek to control us. That struggle for control will inevitably lead to conflict (Genesis 3:16). On the other hand, Christ’s nature in us should lead us to be humble. Instead of trying to control the other, Christ’s nature in us will lead us to want to serve our spouse.

Such a person does foolish things (cf. v. 29; 15:18). “Flying off the handle”—not controlling one’s temper—causes a person to do and say ridiculous things, which he may later regret and be unable to undo. Even more difficult to live or work with is a person who is crafty (cf. 12:2) or scheming (mezimmâh; see comments on 1:4). A person who schemes and works underhandedly to get his way and to oppose others is hated by others because he is untrustworthy. He goes astray (14:22). [Buzzell, S. S. (1985). Proverbs. In J. F. Walvoord & R. B. Zuck (Eds.), The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures (J. F. Walvoord & R. B. Zuck, Ed.) (Pr 14:17). Wheaton, IL: Victor Books.] + +### Application + +The famous Mayo Clinic offered the following 10 tips to tame your temper (http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/anger-management/MH00102) + +1. Take a timeout. Counting to 10 isn't just for kids. Before reacting to a tense situation, take a few moments to breathe deeply and count to 10. Slowing down can help defuse your temper. If necessary, take a break from the person or situation until your frustration subsides a bit. + +2. Once you're calm, express your anger. As soon as you're thinking clearly, express your frustration in an assertive but non-confrontational way. State your concerns and needs clearly and directly, without hurting others or trying to control them. + +3. Get some exercise. Physical activity can provide an outlet for your emotions, especially if you're about to erupt. If you feel your anger escalating, go for a brisk walk or run, or spend some time doing other favorite physical activities. Physical activity stimulates various brain chemicals that can leave you feeling happier and more relaxed than you were before you worked out. + +4. Think before you speak. In the heat of the moment, it's easy to say something you'll later regret. Take a few moments to collect your thoughts before saying anything — and allow others involved in the situation to do the same. + +5. Identify possible solutions. Instead of focusing on what made you mad, work on resolving the issue at hand. Does your child's messy room drive you crazy? Close the door. Is your partner late for dinner every night? Schedule meals later in the evening — or agree to eat on your own a few times a week. Remind yourself that anger won't fix anything, and might only make it worse. + +6. Stick with 'I' statements. To avoid criticizing or placing blame — which might only increase tension — use "I" statements to describe the problem. Be respectful and specific. For example, say, "I'm upset that you left the table without offering to help with the dishes," instead of, "You never do any housework." + +7. Don't hold a grudge. Forgiveness is a powerful tool. If you allow anger and other negative feelings to crowd out positive feelings, you might find yourself swallowed up by your own bitterness or sense of injustice. But if you can forgive someone who angered you, you might both learn from the situation. It's unrealistic to expect everyone to behave exactly as you want at all times. + +8. Use humor to release tension. Lightening up can help diffuse tension. Don't use sarcasm, though — it can hurt feelings and make things worse. + +9. Practice relaxation skills. When your temper flares, put relaxation skills to work. Practice deep-breathing exercises, imagine a relaxing scene, or repeat a calming word or phrase, such as, "Take it easy." You might also listen to music, write in a journal or do a few yoga poses — whatever it takes to encourage relaxation. + +10. Know when to seek help. Learning to control anger is a challenge for everyone at times. Consider seeking help for anger issues if your anger seems out of control, causes you to do things you regret or hurts those around you. You might explore local anger management classes or anger management counseling. With professional help, you can: + +If you still experience problems with controlling your anger, you may look for anger management classes and counseling individually, with your spouse, with other family members, or in a group. Request a referral from your doctor to a counselor specializing in anger management, or ask family members, friends or other contacts for recommendations. Your health insurer, employee assistance program (EAP), clergy, or state or local agencies also might offer recommendations. + +Don’t be foolish, as the proverb state; seek help to manage your anger before it hurts the people in your life. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, help us to learn ways to control our anger so that we may not do or say foolish things that may hurt the people we love. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/22-august-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/22-august-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..cbbca6607c --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/22-august-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Short-tempered People +startDate: 08/22/2025 +endDate: 08/22/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/23-august-2025/23-august-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/23-august-2025/23-august-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..ed32f3a8c2 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/23-august-2025/23-august-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,28 @@ +--- +title: Give and Become Wealthy +date: 08/23/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> Give freely and become more wealthy; be stingy and lose everything. Proverbs 11:24 (NLT) + +### Observation + +Not every kind of scattering brings an increase. Careless giving often does harm both to the giver and to the receiver; but the loving, thoughtful endeavor to use one’s means to alleviate the sufferings and aid the struggles of those in need, brings wealth to both. The more the giver’s means are used to help others, the more he receives. The same is true of contributions made for the work of God (see v. 25). Withholding more than is right tends to poverty, both spiritual and material. [The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, Volume 3. 1977 (F. D. Nichol, Ed.) (986). Review and Herald Publishing Association.] + +### Application + +The Bible teaches of the blessings of generosity in various places. Just a couple will suffice: “Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren to go to you ahead of time, and prepare your generous gift beforehand, which you had previously promised, that it may be ready as a matter of generosity and not as a grudging obligation.” (2 Cor 9:5) “So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.” (2 Cor. 9:7). + +Often we think of generosity in respect to money or things, which is true and accurate. God has blessed us with so much we take for granted. Generosity in returning God’s tithe and in giving of what we have left for the church and to help others was not just a good plan from God to keep His church going; He wanted to teach us lessons of generosity because it is indeed good for us. Those who hoard their blessings end up paranoid that everyone is out to get them and rob them and they end up being lonely and sad. Stories abound of people who have given large amounts of money to benefit others. Many of those stories are about people that others thought were poor, or who limited themselves to living in meager conditions but gave generously to others in greater need. + +But when the Proverbs say to give freely I think it also refers to the time, the kindness, the attention, the help, and the love we give to those closest to us and even to those we are not related to. Don’t be stingy with these things, starting with your spouse, your children, your family. It is as if sometimes we reserve these things for others or we just simply don’t share any with anybody. The result is similar to those that hoard their money. . . we become lonely, cold, and sad. It is like Ebenezer Scrooge, rich but lonely and sad. + +Give generously of yourself, starting with those closest to you. . . you will be richer than when you try to keep it all to yourself. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, Help us to recognize that everything belongs to you and you give us so much more than we deserve.

Scripture

+> For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; 10and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power. Colossians 2:9-10 + +### Observation + +Translate in the Greek order, “Ye are in Him (by virtue of union with Him) filled full” of all that you need (Jn 1:16). Believers receive of the divine unction which flows down from their Divine Head and High Priest (Ps 133:2). He is full of the “fulness” itself; we, filled from Him. Paul implies, Therefore ye Colossians need no supplementary sources of grace, such as the false teachers dream of. Christ is “the Head of all rule and authority” (so the Greek), Eph 1:10; He, therefore, alone, not these subject “authorities” also, is to be adored (Col 2:18). [Jamieson, R., Fausset, A. R., & Brown, D. (1997). Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (Col 2:10). Oak Harbor, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc.] + +### Application + +A movie released several years ago popularized the words spoken by its main character, Jerry McGuire. During the main scene in the film, he said to his girlfriend, “You Complete me!” Those words sounded so romantic that many others have borrowed them to express their love and devotion to the person they love. Tom Cruise played the part of Jerry McGuire. Now I know that Tom Cruise didn’t write the script for this movie, it was Cameron Crowe who wrote it and directed it; Tom Cruise was simply the actor repeating Crowe’s words. Unfortunately, the “You complete me” concept hasn’t worked to well for Cruise. When Tom Cruise spoke those now famous words, “You complete me,” he was married to his second wife, Nicole Kidman. As you probably know, Cruise and Kidman divorced five years later, after which Cruise entered a romantic relationship with Penelope Cruz, and then a third marriage, this time to Katie Holmes, which was also unsuccessful even though it resulted in the birth of a daughter. If we were cynics we could say that Tom Cruise has not yet found “the one” to “complete” him. + +This romantic view that we need another person to complete us began with the Greek philosopher Plato who wrote that there was once a “super race” of androgynous humans that made an attempt to overthrow the gods. This super race consisted of “round” people, made up of both male and female in one person, and in that state they were getting too powerful. So Zeus, the king of the gods, said, “I shall now cut each of them in two ... and they will be both weaker and more useful to us through the increase in their numbers.” + +This forceful separation supposedly left both halves wondering the world, looking for their “soul-mate,” desperate to be reunited. When the two halves did finally find each other, all they could do was cling to each other, which sadly led to their deaths “because they were unwilling to do anything apart from one another.” Zeus was no longer concerned about these powerful beings because deprived and desperate humans were no longer so powerful and no longer such a threat to the gods. + +Interestingly enough, in Plato’s view romantic love does not make us stronger but weaker. And yet, many people do, in fact, live this way, on a constant search to find their other human “half,” so they may be “complete,” and then desperately attempting to keep that half. + +The Bible’s view is very different. Today’s text reminds us that because the fullness of the Godhead dwells in Jesus, Our Creator, we are complete in Him! No other human being can complete us. They can, and do, add to our lives. But a human being, who is not perfect, cannot possibly meet all our needs. Jesus, on the other hand, because He is perfect, can an does complete us. So stop looking for another person to be your perfect soul-mate and to meet all your needs. When both you and the person you love submit to Jesus, He completes both and meets both their needs. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, thank You that we can be complete in Jesus. Help us to draw closer to Him because asa result we will end up drawing closer to one another. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/24-august-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/24-august-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..38519ed602 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/24-august-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: You Complete Me +startDate: 08/24/2025 +endDate: 08/24/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/25-august-2025/25-august-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/25-august-2025/25-august-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..cd20ba5ba2 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/25-august-2025/25-august-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,32 @@ +--- +title: Stealing Your Life +date: 08/25/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

The shepherd constantly goes in and out among his sheep. The thief visits the flock only on rare occasions and for purely selfish motives, and ruins the flock. + +_**Life. zuo,**_ here used in its theological sense, equivalent to eternal life. When Adam and Eve were created they possessed z, but lost it when they sinned. True, their physical life was extended, but they were no longer conditionally immortal (see on Gen. 2:17). Jesus came to restore the zuo that Adam had forfeited (see on John 8:51). + +_**More abundantly**_. “Life” includes the physical, intellectual, and spiritual. Physical life is regarded as abundant in a body that is full of vigor and in perfect health. Jesus’ miracles of physical healing gave an abundant physical life to those whose life forces were ebbing. But physical restoration was by no means the complete fulfillment of Jesus’ mission. Man also has intellectual and spiritual life, which must also be made alive and abundant, for “man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord” (Deut. 8:3). Important as the physical and the intellectual aspects of a well-rounded life are, no life is fully complete unless the spiritual nature is nurtured. [The Seventh©day Adventist Bible Commentary, Volume 5. 1980 (F. D. Nichol, Ed.). Review and Herald Publishing Association.] + +_**Application:**_ The thief of which today’s verse speaks, refers directly to the devil who is only interested in taking away from us the hope of eternal life guaranteed by the sacrifice of Jesus on Calvary. However, we can also look at what else the devil uses to destroy or relationships and how he does it. + +**1. He Steals**. If we allow him to, he steals our time when we devote it to financial pursuits instead of devoting time to our personal faith or to our family. He steals our sense of safety and security when disasters strike which destroy our possessions or when illnesses touch us and threaten to end our life or the life of a loved one. + +**2. He kills.** unless he are intentional about making or keeping our relationship strong he kills it. Many have found themselves on the halls of divorce court dumbfounded that their relationship had come to an end. It is as if it all happened with their knowledge or without them being aware it was taking place. + +**3. He destroys.** With the marriage over, he destroys lives – our own and that of our children. He destroys the idea of marriage of an ideal estate when others see that even the marriage between believers in God did not survive. He destroys faith in God who people claim was not able to sustain our marriage together. + +Fortunately our situation, as bad as it may be, is not hopeless, because Jesus came with a purpose in mind – that we may life, abundant life, satisfying life. We need Jesus to bring that satisfaction for our marriage, satisfaction for our life with our spouse that we long for.

+> And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words. 8 Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. Matthew 6:7-8 + +### Observation + +_**But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions**_—“Babble not” would be a better rendering, both for the form of the word—which in both languages is intended to imitate the sound—and for the sense, which expresses not so much the repetition of the same words as a senseless multiplication of them; as appears from what follows. + +_**as the heathen do**_: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking—This method of heathen devotion is still observed by Hindu and Mohammedan devotees. With the Jews, says Lightfoot, it was a maxim, that “Every one who multiplies prayer is heard.” As Tholuck justly observes, the very prayer which our Lord gave as an antidote to vain repetitions is the most abused to this superstitious end; the number of times it is repeated counting for so much more merit. Is not this just that characteristic feature of heathen devotion which our Lord here condemns? But praying much, and using at times the same words, is not here condemned, and has the example of our Lord Himself in its favor. [Jamieson, R., Fausset, A. R., & Brown, D. (1997). Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible. Oak Harbor, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc.] + +### Application + +Ellen White wrote that, “Prayer is the opening of the heart to God as to a friend. Not that it is necessary in order to make known to God what we are, but in order to enable us to receive Him. Prayer does not bring God down to us, but brings us up to Him.” (A Call to Stand Apart, p. 26). A conversation between friends that only repeats the same words over and over will not only become tiresome eventually but it will not encourage growth and depth in the relationship either. Imagine a couple that is dating, or preparing for marriage, and they repeat the exact same conversation every single day, with no variation at all. No new information is exchanged, there’s no exploration of their feelings, there’s no sharing of thoughts or ideas, just the same words day in and day out. How would they come to know enough about each other to decide on their future life. + +If there is to be growth in our relationship with God, we need to both speak to Him from the depths of our heart and also listen attentively to what He has to share with us for that moment or that day. In the same way, if we want to experience growth in our marriage or greater closeness to our spouse and children, we need to spend time in good conversation with both exchanging thoughts, feelings, and ideas, and listening for what the others may have to share. + +Some of those great opportunities for this type of sharing take place during family meals, during worship times, and during recreational activities such as hiking, camping, or enjoying a picnic together.

Scripture

+> I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13 + +### Observation + +_**Which strengtheneth**_. Paul recognized Christ as the source of all his own power, hence there is no element of boasting here. All that needed to be done could be done by Christ-given strength. When the divine commands are faithfully followed, the Lord makes Himself responsible for the success of the work undertaken by the Christian (COL 333, 363; 8T 16). In Christ there is strength to fulfill duty, power to resist temptation, vigor to endure affliction, patience to suffer without complaint. In Him there is grace for daily growth, courage for multiplied battles, energy for devoted service. [The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, Volume 7. 1980 (F. D. Nichol, Ed.) (178). Review and Herald Publishing Association.] + +### Application + +This passage is probably one of the best known and best loved of Paul’s writings. We have learned it, memorized it, quoted it, and believed it. Although I wonder if we believe it applies in all instances in life. But do we really believe it when we are facing marital difficulties? Do we really believe it when thoughts of separation and divorce come to mind and find a dwelling there? Do we really believe it when our relationship seems hopeless and we feel helpless? + +I would like to suggest today that it is when we’re going through the biggest challenges and difficulties in our marriage that we need to believe the power behind these words. It is by repeating to ourselves the words of the promise contained in this text that we can have a change of attitude which will lead us to have a change of heart. + +The cognitive-behavioral school of psychology teaches us that if we want to change our behavior we must first begin by changing our thinking.

Scripture

+> It is a sin to belittle one’s neighbor; blessed are those who help the poor. Proverbs 14:21 (NLT) + +### Observation + +The sources of contempt and of compassion (14:21). “The person who despises his neighbor sins.” One must not assume superior airs and look down upon a neighbor regardless of his destitute condition. A person of low estate has a claim for love and pity, and it is a sin to withhold them from him for selfish reasons (Lev 19:18). On the other hand, “the one who is gracious to the humble, happy is he.” The merciful disposition is an evidence of a soul’s communion with the God of mercy (cf. Matt 5:7). [Smith, J. E. (1996). The wisdom literature and Psalms. Old Testament Survey Series (Pr 14:21). Joplin, MO: College Press Pub. Co.] + +### Application + +In the book of Proverbs such contempt of the poor is contrasted as sinful with the virtuous compassion of the good. One of the characteristics of a Christian person is his/her desire to build others up, to help others reach the stature of Jesus Christ, to help them reflect the image of Jesus. That’s is why it is so uncharacteristic of a Christian husband or wife to belittle, humiliate, or put their spouse down, both in public or even in the privacy of their home. + +The dictionary definition of belittling is to regard or portray as less impressive or important than appearances indicate; depreciate; disparage. As noted , one of the synonyms is to depreciate, that is, to take away their value. Another word that we use is to devalue or to invalidate your spouse. This is something critically important in marriage. Let’s see home this hurts and destroys a relationship. + +In Ephesians 5:33 Paul emphasizes the difference between husbands and wives by telling husbands to “love their wives,” and to the wives to “respect their husbands.” Paul understood that one of the most important emotional needs is the need for respect and affirmation, to feel valued, appreciated, admired, encouraged by his wife. As a wife, you need to express those feelings verbally and regularly. Hearing those words from his wife will build him up, encourage him to go out and fight the battles of life for his family, strengthen him in the face of discouragement, stress, and even failure. + +As a husband, you build your wife up and show her that you love her when you listen attentively to her, when you spend time with your children, playing, praying, and reading to them, when you help around the house, when you are completely honest and trustworthy with her. If you look down on her as if she were inferior, when you lecture her instead of giving her a simple answer, or when you tell her she’s dumb, stupid, ignorant, or worthless you are stealing her God-given worth from her. + +The text for today tells us it is a sin to belittle our neighbor – which our spouse is, but instead God blessed those who help the poor – and that includes our spouse. Do all in your power to build your spouse up. . . both of you will be blessed as a result. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, help me to be the kind of spouse that builds their spouse up.

Scripture

+> And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13 + +### Observation + +_**And now**_—Translate, “But now.” “In this present state” [Henderson]. Or, “now” does not express time, but opposition, as in 1Co 5:11, “the case being so” [Grotius]; whereas it is the case that the three gifts, “prophecy,” “tongues,” and “knowledge” (cited as specimens of the whole class of gifts) “fail” (1Co 13:8), there abide permanently only these three—faith, hope, charity. In one sense faith and hope shall be done away, faith being superseded by sight, and hope by actual fruition (Ro 8:24; 2Co 5:7); and charity, or love, alone never faileth (1Co 13:8). But in another sense, “faith and hope,” as well as “charity,” abide; namely, after the extraordinary gifts have ceased; for those three are necessary and sufficient for salvation at all times, whereas the extraordinary gifts are not at all so; compare the use of “abide,” 1Co 3:14. Charity, or love, is connected specially with the Holy Spirit, who is the bond of the loving union between the brethren (Ro 15:30; Col 1:8). Faith is towards God. Hope is in behalf of ourselves. Charity is love to God creating in us love towards our neighbor. In an unbeliever there is more or less of the three opposites—unbelief, despair, hatred. Even hereafter faith in the sense of trust in God “abideth”; also “hope,” in relation to ever new joys in prospect, and at the anticipation of ever increasing blessedness, sure never to be disappointed. But love alone in every sense “abideth”; it is therefore “the greatest” of the three, as also because it presupposes “faith,” which without “love” and its consequent “works” is dead (Ga 5:6; Jam 2:17, 20). [Jamieson, R., Fausset, A. R., & Brown, D. (1997). Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1 Co 13:13). Oak Harbor, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc.] + +### Application + +The words of today’s text are some of the best known among Christians. At the end of this section of Paul’s letter to the members of the church at Corinth, which has come to be known as the “love chapter,” for obvious reasons, we find three things which Paul says are more permanent than the gifts of prophecy or other languages. These three are Faith, Hope, and love. There are very important theological implications of these three words, some of which are addressed above. But I want to suggest that these three are crucial ingredients for a lasting marriage. Let’s think about them separately: + +_**1. Faith.**_ Researchers have found that successful couples that agree on four crucial areas tend to have more lasting, more satisfying relationships. Those four areas are spirituality, finances, in-laws, and parenting. If we can’t agree on our spirituality as a couple, the foundation for a long, strong relationship will be weak. Faith in God helps us when we go through the hardships of life, the pain of illness and death, the fear of losing a loved one, the conflicts and the resolutions. + +_**2. Hope.**_ When we become complacent in our relationship, we may not realize until it is very late in the game how far we have drifted apart from each other. After betrayal, when there seems to be no way out and no reason to move forward, when the waters of despair seem to overwhelm us, hope can still keep us together and may be the motivation to hang in, to hold on until the relationship is restored. + +_**3. Love.**_ The type of giving, unselfish, sacrificial love that Paul speaks about in this chapter is crucial for the well-being of a lasting marriage. Love brought us together, love has been with us through the ups and downs of life, and love will be glue that keeps us together. + +When these three are still part of our marriage, I believe it can survive even the worst events and the worst memories, and will help you move forward to a more satisfying relationship. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, may these three abide in our life and marriage, and may they keep us together for the long run. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/30-august-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/30-august-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..52ed03684d --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/30-august-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Three Ingredients for a Lasting Marriage +startDate: 08/30/2025 +endDate: 08/30/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/31-august-2025/31-august-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/31-august-2025/31-august-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..5e67451bb5 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/31-august-2025/31-august-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,38 @@ +--- +title: Don't Keep a Record +date: 08/31/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> Love. . thinks no evil. 1 Corinthians 13:5, NKJV + +### Observation + +_**Thinketh no evil.**_ Literally, “does not reckon the evil.” The Greek here conveys the idea of not taking into account the wrong that has been done; not reckoning, imputing, or charging the wrong to any man’s account. This is another beautiful, Christlike attribute of love. It shows that love puts the best possible construction on the behavior of others. [The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, Volume 6. 1980 (F. D. Nichol, Ed.) (782). Review and Herald Publishing Association.] + +### Application + +The New King James version of the Bible does not convey completely what the words of this verse really say or what Paul evidently intended to say. Here’s a sample of several other versions or translations: + +**English Standard Version**: Love. . . is not resentful (does not count up wrongdoing). + +**New American Standard Bible** (1995 update): Does not take into account a wrong suffered. + +**New International Version** (1984): It keeps no record of wrongs. + +**The Message**: Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others. + +**God’s Word Translation**: It doesn’t keep track of wrongs. + +The apostle Peter must have thought he would impress Jesus with his piety by asking Him, “Then Peter came to Him and said, ‘Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?’” (Matthew 18:21, NKJV). He must have been taken back when Jesus responded, “Jesus said to him, ‘I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.’” (vs.22). Simple math will tells us that seventy times seven equals 490. Some may point aout that the original Greek language is somewhat ambiguous so that it could be translated as seventy-seven times, which is a lot better than 490. Even then, however, that is a lot of times. Did Jesus really mean we should forgive the same person that many times after they have hurt us? Who can possibly continue to forgive that many times without being taken advantage of, or even abused? + +The SDA Bible Commentary explains: “Of course, the number itself is not important, being only symbolic. Either number is in harmony with the truth here taught, that forgiveness is not a matter of mathematics or legal regulations, but an attitude. He who harbors within himself the idea that at some future time he will not forgive, is far from extending true forgiveness even though he may go through the form of forgiving. If the spirit of forgiveness actuates the heart, a person will be as ready to forgive a repentant soul the eighth time as the first time, or the 491st time as the eighth. True forgiveness is not limited by numbers; furthermore, it is not the act that counts, but the spirit that prompts the act. “Nothing can justify an unforgiving spirit” (COL 251). [The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, Volume 5. 1980 (F. D. Nichol, Ed.) (449). Review and Herald Publishing Association.] + +Paul and Jesus agree: Love does not keep record of wrongs, it does not hold on to resentment, it does not count up to 77 or 490 times to forgive. Love forgives and removes the desire to punish or hurt the other and accounts them as if they had never harm them before, the same way God forgives us and does not hold our past sin against us ever again. Love and forgiveness are sure a much better option to resentment and hatred in our marriages. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, bless us that we may have a loving, forgiving spirit toward one another so that harmony, peace, and love may reign in our home. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/31-august-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/31-august-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..a135e618ed --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/31-august-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: God Loves to Buy Low and Sell High +startDate: 08/31/2025 +endDate: 08/31/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/section.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/section.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..2924c617f9 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/08-august-2025/section.yml @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +title: August 2025 \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/09-september-2025/01-september-2025/01-september-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/09-september-2025/01-september-2025/01-september-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..216dddadd3 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/09-september-2025/01-september-2025/01-september-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,28 @@ +--- +title: Family Traditions +date: 09/01/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things and keep the traditions just as I delivered them to you. 1 Corinthians 11:2 + +### Observation + +_**ordinances**_—Greek, “traditions,” that is, apostolic directions given by word of mouth or in writing (1Co 11:23; 15:3; 2Th 2:15). The reference here is mainly to ceremonies: for in 1Co 11:23, as to the Lord’s Supper, which is not a mere ceremony, he says, not merely, “I delivered unto you,” but also, “I received of the Lord”; here he says only, “I delivered to you.” Romanists argue hence for oral traditions. But the difficulty is to know what is a genuine apostolic tradition intended for all ages. Any that can be proved to be such ought to be observed; any that cannot, ought to be rejected (Rev 22:18). Those preserved in the written word alone can be proved to be such. [Jamieson, R., Fausset, A. R., & Brown, D. (1997). Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1 Co 11:2). Oak Harbor, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc.] + +### Application + +Every family has its own traditions, things that they have been doing for a long time, not even remembering how they began. In some families dad has his place at the table, or his favorite chair. During special occasions they do things the same way. In my family, for instance, my daughters make me wear a red stocking hat as I pass the presents to everyone. There are certain things we like to eat for Thanksgiving, or for Christmas, or for other holidays. + +For many years, as our daughters were growing up, we had a traditional meal on Friday evening, and they each have a particular flavor of cake they like to have for their birthdays. Some families like to spend their vacation time in the same place every year, while others decorate their house for the holidays the way they always have. + +One the challenges takes place when two people get married and they each want to continue with the traditions from their family. In my home, in Colombia, South America, for Christmas the centerpiece of our home was the manger scene or creche. At my wife’s home, here in the United States, the centerpiece was the Christmas tree. We didn’t celebrate Thanksgiving because it is a holiday particular to the United States and Canada. Obviously we have different patriotic holidays. But we learned to adapt to each other’s culture and traditions adopting some from each. + +The key is to begin to cultivate your own traditions, not necessarily by planning to do it, but simply by letting them happen. It is when you look back that you realize you have been doing the same thing, in the same way, for several years. If you stopped doing it, you’ ve probably feel a sense of loss of sorts. What’s important to remember is that those traditions, some past down from generation to generation, are what glues our families together both to those close to us and to the extended family. And some of the most special traditions also involve our faith in God.

Proverbs 15:13 (MSG) + +### Observation + +_**A merry heart.**_ “Merry” has changed its meaning since 1611. It did not then have the meaning of boisterous mirth. “God rest you merry, gentlemen” meant, “God keep you in glad peace, gentlemen.” The face glows with joy when the heart is full of light and peace. But the spirit is broken by continued sorrow of heart. When anxiety is permitted to reign, resilience is steadily weakened, until at last the resistance of the mind may be broken. The mental trouble is reflected in the physical condition of the body (see ch. 17:22; LS 255–258; COL 167, 168). [The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, Volume 3. 1977 (F. D. Nichol, Ed.)

The simple act of considering the good things in your life will distance you from negative thoughts that are a barrier to humor and laughter. When you’re in a state of sadness, you have further to travel to get to humor and laughter. +- When you hear laughter, move toward it. Sometimes humor and laughter are private, a shared joke among a small group, but usually not. More often, people are very happy to share something funny because it gives them an opportunity to laugh again and feed off the humor you find in it. When you hear laughter, seek it out and ask, “What’s funny?” +- Spend time with fun, playful people. These are people who laugh easily–both at themselves and at life’s absurdities–and who routinely find the humor in everyday events. Their playful point of view and laughter are contagious. +- Bring humor into conversations. Ask people, “What’s the funniest thing that happened to you today? This week? In your life?” [from http://www.helpguide.org/life/humor_laughter_health.htm] + +Bring laughter and joy into your life. But if you want to add to your own joy, bring laughter to the life of your spouse, your children, your family, and others around you. Go ahead; try it!

Ecclesiastes 4:9 (NLT) + +### Observation + +_**Two are better.**_ Two workmen engaged in cooperative effort can often earn more than double the wage of a single person. The word translated “reward” is the common Hebrew term for wages. It is used of servants (Gen. 30:28, 32, 33), of soldiers (Eze. 29:18, 19), and of the hire of animals (Zech. 8:10).

That is what marriage is all about. Togetherness becomes "twogetherness" when two "me's" join together, submit to one another, and become one "us" As a result, you become stronger, closer, produce greater results for the couple and for the family, and are less lonely, less stressed, less efficient. + +It’s undeniable what you two can accomplish in your marriage when you work together. Among many things, you help each other in your weaknesses and benefit from each other’s strengths. Our text for today reminds that “two are better than one because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, for he has no one to help him up. Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; but how can one be warm alone? Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. (Ecc. 4:9-12). + +What areas will help you to maintain a strong, healthy “twogetherness?” First of all, and above all, your individual relationship with God.

Scripture

+> Love is patient. 1 Corinthians 13:4 + +### Observation + +**_Suffereth long._** In vs. 4–7 Paul proceeds to analyze love. He points out seven excellent characteristics of love and eight acts and attitudes that are totally foreign to its nature. In this eulogy he sets forth the superior quality of love in both its positive and its negative aspect. The personification of love in these verses heightens the beauty of the description, for Paul ascribes to love those characteristics that are found in all who truly love. Throughout the paragraph occasional glimpses are seen of the faults in the church at Corinth that were in direct contrast to the excellent qualities of love. + +Forbearance, or long-suffering, in a world where impatience and intolerance prevail, is a precious attribute. Love bears long with the faults, failings, and weaknesses of others. It recognizes that all human beings are fallible, and that, therefore, due allowance must be made for manifestations of the outworking of errors that result from man’s inherently sinful nature. Long-suffering is opposed to haste, to passionate expressions and thoughts, and to irritability. This word denotes the state of mind that enables a man to be patiently quiet and to bear long when oppressed, wrongfully accused, and persecuted (see Eph. 4:2; Col. 3:12; 2 Tim. 4:2; 2 Peter 3:15; cf. Matt. 26:63; 27:12, 14; see on Matt. 5:10–12). He who is long-suffering possesses one of the fruits of the Spirit (see Gal. 5:22). [The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, Volume 6. 1980 (F. D. Nichol, Ed.) (780). Review and Herald Publishing Association.] + +### Application + +We have heard the saying, “God, give me patience. . . and do it right now!” While we laugh about it, secretly we wish that were the case sometimes. We long to be more patient but don’t have the patience to wait for this process to take place in our lives or marriages. When those who have been married for many years are asked the secret of marital success, many identify patience as a key ingredient. It’s the indispensable virtue for living together day after day in relative peace, without constant struggles to change the other to the way we think they should be. + +In marriage, patience means knowing what needs to be changed and when, and what we need to learn to accept. Many couple on their wedding day probably considered their spouse practically perfect and then set out to change or improve them only to find out that they didn’t necessarily want to be changed. In fact, they probably had their own ideas for our own improvement! + +We should indeed try to change. What we need to be clear about is that we need to try to make changes in our own life and behavior instead of trying to change our spouse. Change, however, takes time. In fact, it takes a lifetime, which is the reason why we need patience, both with ourselves, with our spouse, and with our marriage. But each day brings a small opportunity to cultivate the virtue and to grow one’s marriage. + +Healthy marriages grow and change. Social scientists point out that a couple can go through seven or more stages of marriage throughout a lifetime. Some stages hold excitement and promise: a child arrives or the couple moves into their dream home. + +During this lifetime process of change there will inevitably be periods of disillusionment and boredom. They may find their spouse unappealing and wonder how they can ever spend the rest of their life with this person. Sometimes a couple may even consider divorce. These stages, although difficult, are normal. With patience, a couple can work through them and emerge into the next stage with a deeper appreciation of each other and of their marriage. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, bless us with ever increasing amounts of patience with ourselves, and in particular with our spouse so our marriage will be healthier, stronger, and long-lasting. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/09-september-2025/05-september-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/09-september-2025/05-september-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..22fb9f4254 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/09-september-2025/05-september-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: We Need Patience. . .

Scripture

+> For as he thinks within himself, so he is. Proverbs 23:7 (NASB) + +### Observation + +_**As he thinketh.**_ The particular application of this clause is to the covetous man who carries out the forms of friendly entertainment and plays the genial host, interested in the welfare of his guest, while his mind is casting about for some way to defraud him. There is a general application to all men. Since the issues of life spring from the heart (ch. 4:23), and a man is defiled by what comes out of him rather than by what goes in (Matt. 15:18–20), it follows that a man is as he thinks. [The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, Volume 3. 1977 (F. D. Nichol, Ed.) (1024). Review and Herald Publishing Association.] + +### Application + +One of the most widely used therapeutic approaches in psychology is what known as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT refers to behavior therapy, cognitive therapy, and to therapy based on a combination of basic behavioral and cognitive principles and research. Most therapists working with patients dealing with anxiety and depression use a blend of cognitive and behavioral therapy. CBT is "problem focused" (undertaken for specific problems) and "action oriented" (therapist tries to assist the client in selecting specific strategies to help address those problems). + +Today’s text can be used as an illustration of how CBT works. We are and we behave according to the way that we think, would be a concise presentation of both CBT and our text for today. The problem is that sometimes our thinking is not completely rational and has to be addressed or confronted accordingly. For instance, when we focus on all the negative aspects or shortcomings of our spouse our thinking turns negative and unhappy and therefore we “feel” miserable. The next, “logical” step for us in this thought pattern is to seek happiness and that most often means leaving our spouse and finding happiness in someone else. + +Instead of leaving your spouse and your children, a better approach, and one that would benefit you, your spouse, and your children most, is to change your thought pattern about your spouse and your marriage. Begin right away to make a list of all the things that you like and appreciate in your spouse. Every time they do something that you appreciate, that is nice, that is good, that helps you feel better, write it on that list. Don’t overlook the smallest actions or words. If you like the outfit they’re wearing, the fact they mowed the lawn, the lunch they fixed today, their smile, the fact they spent time with the kids helping them with their homework, when they held your hand, how hard they work to provide for the needs of the family, how careful they are with the family finances, and every other thing they do or are, add them to that list. Then take the next step and every day express appreciation toward them for at least one of those things you have written on your list. You should also do things that you know they like from you – that is a way to express your love for them. + +When you focus on the positives, your thinking pattern toward them will change, your behavior toward them will change, and even if you don’t feel positive toward them right now eventually your feelings toward them will become more positive as well. The key is found within the words of our text today. “As a person thinks in his/her heart, so are they.” If you think loving thoughts, you will behave lovingly, and eventually you will feel loving. The approach that some take which is to begin acting loving when they “feel” love has not worked for too many who have ended their relationship because they lost their loving feelings toward their spouse. Change your thoughts, which will produce a change in your behavior, and will result in a change of your feelings. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, help us to change our thoughts toward our spouse, and help us to behave lovingly toward them so that even if we have lost the loving feelings toward them we will act the way you would want us to act and so that our loving feelings toward them will be renewed every morning. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/09-september-2025/06-september-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/09-september-2025/06-september-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..761aac97b3 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/09-september-2025/06-september-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Changing You from the Inside Out +startDate: 09/06/2025 +endDate: 09/06/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/09-september-2025/07-september-2025/07-september-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/09-september-2025/07-september-2025/07-september-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..6d8e386124 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/09-september-2025/07-september-2025/07-september-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,34 @@ +--- +title: In Unity +date: 09/07/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Psalm 133:1 (KJV) + +### Observation + +**_unity_.** Crucial quality of God’s people (John 17:11, 21), an agreement on the principles and purposes of life which makes relationships harmonious, lasting, and pleasant. People living in unity are committed and faithful to the cause and to each other. Outward unity is a manifestation of the inward unity.

Spiritual unity - We must be sure we share common spiritual beliefs and values. If our relationship with God is the most important one to us, what better way to build intimacy with another person when we both have in common a deep, personal relationship with Him! + +2. Emotional unity - As defined by Gary Chapman, emotional intimacy “is that deep sense of being connected to one another. It is feeling loved, respected, and appreciated while at the same time seeking to reciprocate.” (The Five Languages of Love for Singles). + +3. Intellectual unity - the closer the educational level of both parties is the greater the chances they will be able to speak at a comparable level as well. But more than just the degrees you may have, look for ways to exchange thoughts and ideas. For instance, agree to read the same book or books and then discuss the ideas contained in them. You may also read new articles in a newspaper, magazine, or online and then discuss its content, implications, and where you agree and disagree with the report. This exchange of ideas will help build the unity you need, even if you don’t always agree. + +4. Physical unity - one of the interesting things about sexual intimacy is that it cannot be separated from emotional, spiritual, and social unity and still be healthy or thrive. In fact, often the problems that arise in the sexual area of marriage have their origin when there are problems in the other areas. + +5. Social unity - This does not mean you must have all the same interests, but you should be able to enjoy at least a good number of activities together as the foundation for a strong relationship. Of course, the establishment of this foundation should begin during the dating period. You may want to try some things the other likes to see if you would enjoy doing them as well. + +Behold, how good and how pleasant it is when husband and wife dwell together in unity.

Scripture

+> Their possessions will be taken, their homes left in ruins. They won't get to live in the houses they build, or drink wine from the grapes in their own vineyards. Zephaniah 1:13 (CEV) + +### Observation + +Zephaniah stated that Yahweh is not so weak and uninterested as the Jews thought because judgment is within both His power and His will. In this three-part verse the prophet first stated that God will cause the Jews’ enemies to plunder the people’s wealth and demolish their houses. This would be as God had predicted (Deut. 28:30). With both their money and their residences gone, they would have no physical security. God then stated that their effort to rebuild their houses and plant their vineyards would be futile. They would not live long enough to enjoy them.[ Hannah, J. D. (1985). Zephaniah. In J. F. Walvoord & R. B. Zuck (Eds.), The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures (J. F. Walvoord & R. B. Zuck, Ed.) (Zep 1:13). Wheaton, IL: Victor Books.] + +### Application + +Today’s text describes people today who live in the pursuit of happiness by acquiring and keeping things. A very wealthy man was once asked in his opinion how many dollars it would take for him to be completely happy, to which he evidently responded, “just one more.” If I could have one more dollar, if I could have another car, if I could have another house, if I could have a bigger paycheck. As a result, many have accumulated property and wealth but have not found the happiness they so much long for. Some have hoarded things, afraid to let go even of useless, worthless garbage. . . there’s even a reality show based on their lives of misery and the pain their condition causes their loved ones. So many have made of material things their god and have become slaves of them. + +One of the safest and best things we can do for our family is to live in such a way that we teach them to love and depend on God and not in material things. A fire, an earthquake, a tornado, a hurricane, or a tsunami can wipe away everything we have in an instant. The collapse of the economy, a war, the loss of employment may cause us to lose everything we have worked for, saved for, and lived for. And if our identity and our happiness are tied to those things, when they’re gone so is our sense of self and meaning in life. But if our confidence is in God, who is eternal, Who never changes, then the meaning of life goes beyond our physical death. + +Besides faith in God, we can also help each other develop and strengthen the type of character that also has everlasting meaning and value. Someone said you never see a hearse pulling a u-haul, by which they mean there’s nothing material you can take with you. I remember the story of the rich man who was told by the angel of death that he had come to take him. The man asked if he could take something with him, to which the angel of death agreed. In a few minutes the man returned with a heavy suitcase. Upon arrival to the pearly gates, Saint Peter asked the man to show him what was in the suitcase, and when he opened it what was inside was gold, lots of gold. Peter’s response to the man was, “why would you bring pavement to heaven?” The point of the story is that those things that we value here on earth don’t have that same value in eternity. But character, values, principles, beliefs, they draw us closer to God, who is eternal. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, help us to see the true value in the material as something temporary, and in character as something that may last forever when it is centered in You. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/09-september-2025/08-september-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/09-september-2025/08-september-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..c4e1281909 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/09-september-2025/08-september-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Let Go and Keep All +startDate: 09/08/2025 +endDate: 09/08/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/09-september-2025/09-september-2025/09-september-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/09-september-2025/09-september-2025/09-september-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..2065f8a176 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/09-september-2025/09-september-2025/09-september-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,22 @@ +--- +title: Health Matters +date: 09/09/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> (Lev 11:2 NKJV) "Speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'These are the animals which you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth: + +### Observation + +The eleventh chapter of the book of Leviticus is God’s list of clean and unclean animals. While this is the first time we read it in the Bible, it is clear from the story of Noah’s ark that the distinction was in place since the week of creation. For the recently freed slaves, it was important for them to learn that some of the diet they might have been following in Egypt was not healthy and would eventually lead them to have the same diseases as their captors. Moses wrote: (Exo 15:26 NKJV) "If you diligently heed the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the LORD who heals you." God’s plan has not changed with the establishment of the Christian faith; after all, it is still the same God. (3 John 1:2 NKJV) Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. + +### Application + +One of the responsibilities we have is to take care of our bodies, since they are temples of the Holy Spirit – (1 Cor 6:19 NKJV) Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? But once we establish a family, not only should we take care of ourselves but also we should care for the health of the other family members. Every so often I have watched programs that report on morbidly obese people and have wondered, if they can’t get out of bed, how do they eat? Who is feeding them? Another way of asking these questions is , who is enabling them to continue this deadly path? While their spouses or children may claim they’re doing it our of love or that they don’t want to see their loved ones “starve,” their actions, instead of helping their loved one, are really killing them. In the family, love is not just a word expressed but a positive action on behalf of its members. If food doesn’t affect me negatively by causing me to gain weight, it doesn’t mean it has the same effect on others.

Scripture

+> (Romans 8:35-36 MSG) + +### Observation + +**_Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?_**—This does not mean “our love to Christ,” as if, Who shall hinder us from loving Christ? but “Christ’s love to us,” as is clear from the closing words of the chapter, which refer to the same subject. Nor would the other sense harmonize with the scope of the chapter, which is to exhibit the ample ground of the believer’s confidence in Christ. “It is no ground of confidence to assert, or even to feel, that we will never forsake Christ; but it is the strongest ground of assurance to be convinced that His love will never change” [HODGE].

Oak Harbor, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc.] + +### Application + +Today's passage is one of the most encouraging ones as it assures us that God's love is not dependent on anything we do or fail to do. God's love for us is totally unconditional! All we have to think about is how often we have done things that have been totally contrary to God's will, when we have betrayed Him, denied Him, disobeyed Him, or ignored Him. . . even them < God still loved us and continues to love us. + +I wonder if that's the reason God wants us to experience His love for us so we can also begin to show that same kind of love toward our loved ones. Think about your relationship with your spouse. What if we loved them unconditionally, not just when they act lovingly toward us but even when they don't? What if acted lovingly toward them even when their actions are not very kind or loving toward us? What is we spoke lovingly toward them even when their words toward us are hateful, mean, rude, unkind, or offensive? Whether they respond in a positive way toward us or not is not the point. It is not their words or actions toward us that should determine what we do; we should simply speak and act lovingly because of whom we are and the relationship that we enjoy with God and how He would want us to behave toward them. + +What if we lived unconditional love toward our children? I believe every parent will experience sadness or disappointment with some of the actions of our children. When they do things that are totally contrary to the way that we have taught them or raised them, or when they speak to us in hurtful words or tone of voice. Many times they don't mean to be hurtful but may just be experiencing their desire for independence as part of the growing process. As much as their actions or words may hurt us, our love for them should not be dependent on whether they always act lovingly toward us or not. Our actions, words, and feelings should express to them that we love them regardless of what they believe, say, or do. We should make it clear to them that our love for them is not conditioned on their response toward us, but on God's love toward us; and since God's love toward us is unconditional then so should be our love for them. + +Does this mean that we accept, condone, or encourage negative or harmful behavior? Unconditional love does not equate with active support. If my child chooses to use drugs, I would not tell them "I'll support you in whatever you do." That would be illogical and would actually show lack of love for them. Unconditional love means loving them in spite of their choice to harm themselves. If we only act loving with the goal in mind that they will change then your love is conditional on their response. God's love calls us to love them even when they don't love us. + +Love your spouse unconditionally. Love your children unconditionally. And bask in the knowledge that God loves you unconditionally. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, thank you for your unconditional love for me.

Or, “protection.” The first part of the verse reads, literally, “In the shade is wisdom, in the shade is silver.” Both wisdom and money afford shelter and help, even though not of the same kind. The wealthy man who is also wise thus has a double shelter. “Shade” is a common figure used of a shelter from danger (Ps. 17:8; 91:1; Isa. 32:2). Riches may at times save lives (Prov. 13:8), and wisdom may deliver a city (Eccl. 9:15). Wealth cannot buy eternal salvation (Ps. 49:6, 7) or give genuine peace of mind (Luke 12:15). True wisdom can bring a man into right relationship to God (Ps. 111:10; cf. Job 28:28). James 3:17 presents an inspiring word picture of true wisdom. + +**Giveth life.** Better, “preserveth alive.” Wisdom may save a man’s life in time of danger, whereas riches may be the cause of a wealthy man’s death. Wisdom may keep a man from the excesses of appetite that shorten life; riches make possible the excessive indulgence of appetite and thus may be the means of leading a man to ill-health and eventually to death. But something more than mere physical life is suggested here. Wisdom in the highest sense leads to the practice of true piety (Prov. 3:13–18; 8:35). It is in the realm of the spirit that the true preservation of life, leading to immortality, is worked out (John 5:21; 6:63). [The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, Volume 3. 1977 (F. D.

Do you trust in yourself, or maybe you run to your family or your friends, and you tell them your side of the story? Some people run to therapists, counselors, divorce lawyers, coworkers, school mates, or even strangers on the street. And yet, we seldom run to God. We need to recognize that many of the people we run to in times of marital troubles are not really trained or equipped to give us proper advice and guidance. Many of them are going or have gone through similar situations but did not resolve them in a healthy way. How can someone fix our marital challenges when they gave up on theirs? + +Now, I know that most people mean well when they offer advice, but not all advice is good, applicable, or helpful.

Scripture

+> And when you heard the word of truth (the gospel of your salvation) – when you believed in Christ – you were marked with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit, (Ephesians 1:13 NET) + +### Observation + +**_sealed_**—as God’s confirmed children, by the Holy Spirit as the seal (Ac 19:1–6; Ro 8:16, 23; 1Jn 3:24). see on 2Co 1:22; A seal impressed on a document gives undoubted validity to the contract in it (Jn 3:33; 6:27; compare 2Co 3:3). So the sense of “the love of God shed abroad in the heart by the Holy Ghost” (Ro 5:5), and the sense of adoption given through the Spirit at regeneration (Ro 8:15, 16), assure believers of God’s good will to them. The Spirit, like a seal, impresses on the soul at regeneration the image of our Father. The “sealing” by the Holy Spirit is spoken of as past once for all. The witnessing to our hearts that we are the children of God, and heirs (Eph 1:11), is the Spirit’s present testimony, the “earnest of the (coming) inheritance” (Ro 8:16–18). [Jamieson, R., Fausset, A. R., & Brown, D. (1997). Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (Eph 1:13). Oak Harbor, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc.] + +### Application + +Many years ago, when I was the pastor of a Hispanic congregation, I was asked to officiate at the marriage ceremony for a couple from Mexico. As we were talking about the service itself, they asked me if I would have the role ceremony. I told them I didn't know what they were referring to, so they proceeded to explain to me that in the area where they lived it was a custom for the pastor or priest to place a rope around the couple who were getting married as a symbol of the sacred bond of marriage into which they were entering. Once I understood their desire and the significance of that ceremony I readily agreed to make it a part of their wedding and it became a vivid memory to this day. + +There are many such ceremonies to symbolize the union upon which the couple is entering. For our wedding we chose the unity candle but with a variation. At that time it was popular to blow out the two candles which represented each the groom and the bride after lighting the unity candle thus symbolizing that the two were becoming one. My wife and I decided that we would leave the two candles light because while we were becoming one we were not losing our individuality. Other couples have used two pitches of colorful sand, or pitchers of water to represent the symbolism of two merging to become one. + +The question remains, what makes us one? Is it the common believes we have? Or is it the goals, the values, the plans we have established together? Is it the commitment we are making on that day? I would expect that all of these would certainly play a part in helping us become one. But I believe that the only one who can truly make us one is the One who made us who we are in the first place. God, our Creator, who makes the miracle or creation possible, is also the one who makes the miracle of two becoming one possible. Our text reminds us that we are sealed by the Holy Spirit when we believe in Jesus Christ. It is that individual belief and commitment to Him which makes it possible for us as individuals to become one. That's why the wedding ceremony is not just a requirement which makes the marriage legal by the law of the land but a sacred service which seals the couple's commitment to God and to each other in the eternal bond, sanctioned and blessed by God. this is one of the reason I object to some of the things that couples are doing such getting married under water, while sky diving, or at the Wall-Mart where they met, or dressed as clowns, pirates, or some cartoon character. While their desire may be to make their wedding fun and memorable they are ignoring the presence of God and the sacredness of this ceremony. + +As you plan for your wedding, plan for God's presence and arrange the service accordingly.

Or, “used to speak,” that is, it was my habit to speak.

In a similar way, when heaven is reached, men will lay aside the ideas, views, and feelings that are cherished in this life and are considered so valuable and important. + +_**Understood**_. Or, “used to think,” that is, it was my habit to think. This refers to the early, undeveloped exercise of the childish mind, a mode of thought that cannot be regarded as connected reasoning. The understanding was narrow and imperfect, and knowledge was meager. Things that occupied the attention then, lost their value as adulthood was reached. + +**_Thought_**. Or, “used to reason,” that is, it was my habit to reason. The thinking and reasoning of childhood appear puerile, shortsighted, inconclusive, and erroneous to an adult.

Much recent research has demonstrated that the frontal lobe of the brain, the seat of decisions and judgment, is not fully developed until about the age of twenty-five. What this should tell us is that most people are really not mature enough to marry at least until that age. It is no wonder that the younger a couple is before the age of twenty the higher their probabilities of divorce. It is like marrying a child, not mature enough to make the serious decisions of married life. + +What is the difference between emotional maturity and immaturity? Here are a few signs of emotional immaturity: + +- Emotional Volatility, which is the tendency for your emotions to get out of your control. This involve such things as temper tantrums, like screaming, yelling, breaking things or hitting others, or getting upset extremely easily, making a mountain out of a mole hill, inability to take criticism, extreme jealousy, unwillingness to forgive, unpredictable fluctuation of moods. +- Lack of Independence, which means such things as being too reliant on others for things you can do for yourself, needing someone around all the time, not having your own opinions, or being willing/able to express them, being very easily influenced by others. +- Seeking Constant Attention which is manifested by loyalty that lasts only as long as the person views the relationship as "useful", needing immediate gratification which may result in financial or personal problems, and thoughtless and impulsive behavior. +- Extreme self-centeredness displayed by making unreasonable demands, being constantly preoccupied with themselves, seeking out positive feedback or sympathy relentlessly, and tending to not accept responsibility for anything. + +In short, the emotionally immature person can't understand the needs and feelings of others, and therefore have a difficult time being a partner or a parent. In contrast, here are some of the characteristics of an emotionally mature person: + +- The ability to give and receive love and affection. +- The ability to deal with reality. +- The ability to learn from experience and deal with frustration. +- The ability to accept constructive criticism constructively. +- Having optimism and self-confidence. + +We all used to be children and therefor spoke like children, understood what children do, and thought as children do. In order to have a successful marriage we need to have the emotional maturity to speak like adults, understand like adults, and think like adults. Without that type of maturity, our marriage may experience greater difficulties or even face separation and divorce. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, help us to grow up into the mature adults we need to be to have a healthy, successful marriage. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/09-september-2025/15-september-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/09-september-2025/15-september-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..61c74956f4 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/09-september-2025/15-september-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Time to Grow Up! +startDate: 09/15/2025 +endDate: 09/15/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/09-september-2025/16-september-2025/16-september-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/09-september-2025/16-september-2025/16-september-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..12d2393f7f --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/09-september-2025/16-september-2025/16-september-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,28 @@ +--- +title: Clean Before a New Beginning +date: 09/16/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> (Lev 14:8-9 NKJV) "He who is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, that he may be clean. After that he shall come into the camp, and shall stay outside his tent seven days. {9} "But on the seventh day he shall shave all the hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows; all his hair he shall shave off. He shall wash his clothes and wash his body in water, and he shall be clean. + +### Observation + +For the people of Israel, having just left their captivity in Egypt, and on the way to establish their new home as an independent nation, the laws and regulations concerning health issues were very specific and very important for their well-being and survival. An example is all the laws concerning lepers – how to decide whether the person had leprosy and what to do with the person, hot to tell if they had been cured from leprosy and what cleansing rituals as well as sin-atonement rituals needed to be performed before the person would be allowed in camp and before they would be allowed to rejoin the people. The diagnosis, treatment, and steps to rejoin were long, maybe tedious, but they ensured the safety of the people and a recognition that health, healing, forgiveness, and salvation come from the Lord. + +Leprosy is primarily a disease of the peripheral nerves and mucosa of the upper respiratory tract; skin lesions are the primary external symptom. Left untreated, leprosy can be progressive, causing permanent damage to the skin, nerves, limbs and eyes. Contrary to popular belief, leprosy does not actually cause body parts to simply fall off. There are two principal forms of the disease. In tuberculoid leprosy, few bacilli are present, and the symptoms are pale, patchy spots on the face, hands and feet. In the more contagious, lepromatous form, many microorganisms are present in the skin and in nasal secretions; patches and lumps can occur all over the body, and the facial lines tend to deepen. Leprosy does not usually cause gross mutilations. But it can cause a numbness of the hands and feet that leads to accidental burning or mutilation of extremities. This is a source of the myth that leprosy causes parts of the body to drop off. + +### Application + +In marriage, even the healthiest and happiest one, there are times when one or the other makes a mistake, hurts the other person, and causes a wound in their relationship. It may be something small and therefore easy to heal. But there are times and situations where the guilty party does something to hurt their spouse, and their relationship, but instead of confessing and making restitution (as we mentioned in a previous entry), they let it fester. Like a wound that is not properly cleaned, the wound in this relationship gets infected, festers, creates a bigger injury, and ends up poisoning the entire system. + +In marriage, these problems that are not dealt with, are like leprosy. At first, they are infected, but not obviously noticed. If left untreated, however, they begin to affect the nervous system of the relationship so that eventually the emotions are not felt, and eventually other wounds are not felt anymore but yet cause the loss of the relationship. + +Leprosy does not have to kill as medication can treat it so that it doesn’t progress or kills the person. In marriage, confession and repentance are the best medicine. As we confess our sins to God and to one another, the diseases that kill healthy marriages can be eradicated and the relationship restored. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, forgive us for the times when we have hurt our spouse, and help us to be more sensitive to their needs in the future.

In the last half, Paul turns more directly to Christian behavior, giving instructions to the church in the world (4:1–6:24). He has already contrasted the lives of his readers before they became Christians with their lives after they believed (2:1–10, 11–13). In 4:17–32, he contrasts a Gentile pattern of life (which they would have followed earlier, vv. 17–19, 22), with the Christ-inspired pattern (vv. 20–21, 23–32). People who are watching believers should be able to tell that they have “learned Christ” (v. 20). Paul’s counsel suggests that this does not happen instantly but that we believers are to continue to be “taught by Him” (v. 21). [Andrews Study Bible Notes. 2010 (J. L. Dybdahl, Ed.) (1547–1548). Berrien Springs, MI: Andrews University Press.] + +### Application + +Sometimes we have low emotional experiences in our lives which we immediately describe as depression when it may be situational sadness (for instance after the death of a loved one, loss of a job, etc.) Depression, on the other hand, is a powerfully negative mood that interferes with your daily life. When you are depressed, you are sad, despondent, disinterested, lethargic, you feel hopeless or helpless, you may cry all the time or feel as if you absolutely cannot get out of bed in the morning. One of the concerns is that depression affects your body as well as your mind. You may eat less or you may eat more, but less often. You may feel at night as if you are starting to come out of it, only to wake up in the morning feeling even worse. Depression may be the result of an adversity in your life or it may seem to have just appeared on its own, or due to a change of seasons or a change of lifestyle or for no apparent reason at all. + +Depression can be a life-threatening problem and may even lead a person to feel suicidal For many people suffering from depression the easy way out is through medication. While some medication may indeed be helpful, the side effects and the addictive effect are not desirable outcomes. Other, healthier approaches can be more beneficial in the long run. The good news is that as serious as it may be, depression is a state of mind and body that can be changed through a combination of things such a change in nutrition and activity, intake of vitamins, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and of course the help of God. CBT focuses on eliminating self-defeating behavior, replacing negative thinking patterns and self-talk with realistic beliefs about oneself and the world. CBT is the only form of psychotherapy that has been scientifically proven to work better than a placebo in treating major depression. 9For more information on healthy treatment for depression visit https://www.nedleyhealthsolutions.com/?option=com_content&view=article&id=52&Itemid=54) + +Today’s text reminds us that with the help of the Holy Spirit we can change any thinking pattern that hurts us individually or asa couple or family.

Scripture

+> For he says, "At the acceptable time I have listened to you, and helped you on the day of salvation." Behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation. 2 Corinthians 6:2 (RSV) + +### Observation + +_**I have heard thee**_. This verse is a parenthetical comment on the reception of divine grace (v. 1). It constitutes an urgent appeal to men to seek reconciliation with God lest they receive the grace of God in vain. The quotation is from the LXX of Isa. 49:8 (see comment there). Isaiah looks forward to the “day of salvation” as the time of the Messiah. Paul here recognizes that the prophecy has been fulfilled in Christ. The first advent of Christ ushered in an era that is favorable to salvation (see DA 37). So long as Christ intercedes for sinners the “day of salvation” will continue. [The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, Volume 6. 1980 (F. D. Nichol, Ed.) (872). Review and Herald Publishing Association.] + +### Application + +when it comes to making changes in your relationship, there's no better time than niw to begin. so many wait until they feel better about their spouse, or until their spouse makes some changes in their behavior or attitude, or until the children grow, or until something else takes place. There is always something yet that needs to take place before you take the step to make the changes. And yet, unless you start making the changes in your life and relationship right away, something else will always come up instead and you will find yourself one day with a shattered life and a ruined marriage. + +One way to improve your marriage is to modify your attitudes and your actions. The goal is not to change your spouse into a more loving oerson but rather for you to become a more loving person. Harry Stack Sullivan, a noted American psychiatrist, suggested that the state of love exists when the satisfaction and security of another person becomes as significant to one as one’s own satisfaction and security. (Harry S. Sullivan, Conceptions of Modern Psychiatry, New York, W.W. Norton & Company, 1953). M. Scott Peck adds that love is less a feeling and more a commitment to the growth of another person (M. Scott Peck, The Road Less Traveled: A New Psychology of Love, Traditional Values and Spiritual Growth, New York, Simon & Schuster, 1997). Please that in these definitions love is an action undertaken to benefit another person, so that one of the keys to improving an intimate relationship is to give more and demand less from your spouse. If you want to improve your marriage, you must be willing to improve yourself. He are three things you can do. + +First Change Your Behavior - remeber Jesus' parable of then speck of dust and the beam where He states that one should first examine one’s own large faults (the beam, a large piece of wood) before we criticize the small faults (the mote, a small speck of sawdust) of your spouse. Here's what you can do: + +1. Have patience with your spouse’s faults and annoying habits. Drop the insistence that he or she must change. + +2. Take responsibility to change yourself and improve the relationship. The focus becomes you changing first, not your spouse. instead of blaming the partner for your unhappiness, or focusing attention on the spouse’s mistakes and imperfections, take the first step to improve things yourself. Decide what you can do and do it. If you are unhappy with the way your spouse treats you, then improve your care and treatment of your spouse. You take the first step–you show more love first! + +3. The hope is that as you act in loving ways your spouse will reciprocate, but even if they don't you have acted like Christ expects His disciples to. + +Second, Change Your Attitude - Avoid focusing on your spouse’s negatives and instead train your mind to focus on the positives.. Learn to overlook the few small things that you don’t like about your spouse and continually remind yourself ofit'll the things you like and appreciate in them. Make a daily list of all you like and appreciate and of all the things they do for you and your family, and then make it a habit to thank your spouse for the things he or she does. As you compliment and praise your spouse for thier strengths, you will be less likely to notice their weaknesses and faults. + +Third, Change Your Heart - one of the wonderful things that social scientists have kearned is that when we change our behavior our attitude begins to change and as result our feelings also begin to change. If you worship and serve God in true and healthy ways, you may become less selfish. The unselfish person is more likely to build happy and satisfying marital and family relationships. His thoughts and actions are more often directed to the welfare of family members rather than upon his own personal wants and desires. + +Let's take these three simple steps, and begin right now. today is the best time to begin! + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, help me to begin right now to make the changes in my life that may result in changes in our relationship. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/09-september-2025/18-september-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/09-september-2025/18-september-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..6401e8f313 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/09-september-2025/18-september-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: There's No Better Time than Now! +startDate: 09/18/2025 +endDate: 09/18/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/09-september-2025/19-september-2025/19-september-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/09-september-2025/19-september-2025/19-september-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..73ee2ac952 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/09-september-2025/19-september-2025/19-september-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,34 @@ +--- +title: Change Is Good! +date: 09/19/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

The contemplation of the image of Christ acts upon the moral and spiritual nature as the presence of God did upon the face of Moses. The humblest Christian who constantly looks to Christ as his Redeemer will reflect in his own life something of the glory of Christ. If he faithfully continues to do so, he will go on “from glory to glory” in his personal Christian experience (see 2 Peter 1:5–7). + +From glory to glory. This transformation is progressive. It advances from one stage of glory to another. Our spiritual assimilation of Christ comes through His glory and results in a reflection of glory like unto His. + +As by the Spirit of the Lord. Literally, “as from the Lord, [the] Spirit.” The spiritual transformation that proceeds from Christ takes place only through the operation of the Holy Spirit, who, having access to the heart, renews, hallows, and glorifies the nature and makes it over into the likeness of Christ’s perfect life. [The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, Volume 6. 1980 (F. D. Nichol, Ed.) (851). Review and Herald Publishing Association.] + +### Application + +I’ve heard people say that when a man marries a woman, he thinks, “She’s the one I’ve been waiting for. She’ll never change.” – and she always does. At the same time a woman looks at her man, and thinks, “He just needs a little work; after we’re married, I’ll help him change” – and he never does. + +In reality both married men and women will change as time goes on. We have learned from biology that every seven years we have totally replaced all the cells in our bodies with new ones. At the same time, our ideas, politics, interests also evolve over the years. Social researchers tell us that personality traits such as introversion and extroversion remain fairly constant throughout our adult lives, but even then we may with time move closer to the middle of these two. Here’s where some conflict in marriage takes place when we make some changes in our personal life but at different rates one from the other. Somehow we hope that our spouses will change for the better. We want them to become more patient, that they will stop unhealthy habits, that they will work less and spend more time with the family, or that they will work more – inside and outside the house, that hey will talk more, or that they will talk less, that they will go to church more, etc. The reality is that all of us are a work in progress. + +While we may want to encourage some changes in our spouse’s behavior or attitudes, habits and practices, nagging, cajoling, and arguing will get us nowhere and can actually create more problems and make us even more miserable. + +Successful people recognize that the only person you can change is yourself, but it doesn’t mean you have to do it all by yourself; you may enlist your spouse as your partner in self-change. When you are willing, and ready, to change some behavior, tell your spouses about your plan to change and enlist their support. Your request for help could be the energy for marital growth you need to make the changes you desire. Your spouse, no matter what personal faults or issues he/she may have, will appreciate your efforts; in reality, they’ve been hoping we would anyway! + +What if your spouse doesn’t want to change? This is where the most powerful tool of marital change comes into play if you are going to have a healthy marriage -- Acceptance. When spouses show each other love and acceptance they respond more quickly to each other’s changes. Be ready to support any effort your partner makes towards change, no matter how tentative or incomplete that effort is. If he or she discloses a desire to change, be ready to help instead of hindering the process. It may be that either one or both of you need professional help, but your role as helpmate is indispensable. You are the one who loves your spouse the most.

A willing mind makes even a little acceptable, but to do less than one is able to do is a denial of willingness. A generous will is good in itself, but alone it is not enough.

It is good to cherish the ideal of charity, but the ideal must find practical expression. Faith and love, as ideals, never feed the hungry or clothe the naked (James 2:14–20). “Readiness,” then, is a spontaneous disposition and attitude of mind to serve God and one’s fellow men.

We may wish for a better relationship, as long as there are no changes required in us, as long as our spouse makes the changes we think they need or should make, or as long as there’s no great effort on our part, and the result will likely not be what we had wished for.

Let diligence, promptness, and energy be sanctified by the grace of Christ; then the life will be an unconquerable power for good" (The Desire of Ages, page 525, 1898). + +### Application + +It seems as if the laundry basket is always full of dirty laundry, dust settles on the furniture, toilets need to be cleaned, and floors need to be scrubbed.

The calendar is full and it seems overwhelming to attempt to fit one more thing in.

+> "Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them" Ephesians 4:29 (NLT) + +### Observation + +**_Corrupt_**. Gr. sapros, “rotten,” “putrid,” “bad.” In Matt. 7:17 sapros describes a corrupt tree, and in Matt. 13:48 inedible fish that were thrown away. Foul speech is the sign of a corrupt heart, “for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh” (Matt. 12:34). Profanity and obscene jests and songs, even the frivolous and insipid conversation, have no place in the Christian’s life; indeed, they are the hallmark of the unregenerate spirit. + +_**To the use of edifying.**_ Literally, for the “upbuilding of the need.” Compare the translation, “edifying, as fits the occasion” (RSV). While speaking does not always have to be of a somber or even serious character, it should always edify or build up, making men better than they were before they heard the words. As in v. 28 the Christian’s work was to be for the benefit of others, so here his words also are to be for the good of his fellow men. Not only indecent speech but also that which is selfish, malicious, critical, or suggestive, corrupts. Here again the apostle seems to have in the back of his mind the central theme of his epistle—unity. That which does not edify tears down, and is therefore to be discarded. Compare 1 Thess. 5:11–14.

It is also used of money paid for redemption of a pledge. The related verb, lutro, is translated “redeem,” or “redeemed” (see Luke 24:21; Titus 2:14; 1 Peter 1:18). Here for the first time Jesus makes a clear statement concerning the substitutionary nature of His death. This aspect of His supreme sacrifice was clearly set forth by the prophet Isaiah more than seven centuries before the time came for that sacrifice to be made (see on Isa. 53:4–6). It is true that there was an exemplary aspect to Christ’s death, but there was far more to it than that. It was first and above all else substitutionary. Otherwise Jesus could not have the power to save men from their sins (see on Matt. 1:21).

Moses was going to work every day as the sole judge over all the tribes of Israel. The number of people demanding his time was so great he worked from dawn until dusk without making a dent in the workload. His wise father-in-law, Jethro, saw this and immediately recognized a man who could not say "no" to requests for his time. He suggested Moses focus on only two things — representing the people before God, and handling the most difficult of the disputes. The rest of the work could be delegated to capable men he appointed. Moses listened, delegated, and found himself doing far more than he had ever done before, but in much less time. If this advice worked for Moses, will it not also work for us?

These people, who had been away for at least seventy years, face the challenge of rebuilding the city and, more importantly, begin to practice again their faith in freedom and in their own land. + +Ezra and Nehemiah lead in these two pursuits. In chapter eight, Nehemiah tells us that Ezra read the law of God, at the request of those gathered by the Water Gate. Ezra the priest read it “in the presence of men and women” (Neh. 8:2). Both Ezra and Nehemiah emphasized the importance of this day as a “Holy Day” and that it should not be a day or mourning (8:9). When the law was read to them, the people wept. Nehemiah told them to eat and drink and to share their food with those who had none, and then closed with the words of our text for today: “Do not sorrow, for the joy of the LORD is your strength." + +### Application + +As I write these words this morning, two bits of news from this week are very vivid in my mind and heart. My best friend’s mother passed away after a relatively short fight with cancer. She was advanced in years, and was experiencing serious health challenges due to her terminal disease, and one can feel a certain amount of relief that she is not suffering anymore, to her children her death still leaves a void, and the grief associated with her death is still very real and very painful to them. + +The second bit of news, received the same day my friend’s mother died, is that my own brother, eight years my senior, was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and began intensive chemotherapy treatments immediately. + +I can’t deny that my heart is heavy as I think of both my friend and her family and my brother and our family. Today, the words of Nehemiah speaks to me and to all of us who sorrow, who worry, who care: “Do not sorrow, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.” Paul would add that we should not sorrow as those that have no hope (1 Thes. 4:13). Our outlook as God’s children, and as families, is different than those who don’t know Him, because the joy of the Lord is our strength. This is not living in denial, or pretend that we don’t hurt when inside our heart is bursting. What this means is that through the pain and sorrow of life we have a joy that surpasses earthly understanding and which takes “through the shadow of the valley of death.” As people, we will have to part with loved ones at some point in our lives until our own live is no more.

Scripture

+> "And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us" (Romans 5:3-5 NKJV) + +### Observation + +**_we glory in tribulation also; knowing that tribulation worketh patience_**—Patience is the quiet endurance of what we cannot but wish removed, whether it be the withholding of promised good (Ro 8:25), or the continued experience of positive ill (as here). There is indeed a patience of unrenewed nature, which has something noble in it, though in many cases the offspring of pride, if not of something lower. Men have been known to endure every form of privation, torture, and death, without a murmur and without even visible emotion, merely because they deemed it unworthy of them to sink under unavoidable ill. But this proud, stoical hardihood has nothing in common with the grace of patience—which is either the meek endurance of ill because it is of God (Job 1:21, 22; 2:10), or the calm waiting for promised good till His time to dispense it come (Heb 10:36); in the full persuasion that such trials are divinely appointed, are the needed discipline of God’s children, are but for a definite period, and are not sent without abundant promises of “songs in the night.” [Jamieson, R., Fausset, A. R., & Brown, D. (1997). Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (Ro 5:3–4). Oak Harbor, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc.] + +### Application + +I don't know about you, but I find it hard to be happy about troubles that come my way. It is often hard to see the blessings amid the trials. And yet, scripture reminds us that tribulations produce perseverance. In other words, good can come from what we see as bad. It is hard enough when we, as adults go through tough times. But, it is really hard when we see that our children are suffering. + +When our children suffer, whether from their own bad choices or those of someone else, we want so badly to rescue them from the situation. We want to "fix it". In fact, if possible, we would gladly take the pain upon our own shoulders. But, God has another plan — to perfect them through their trials. Character-building lessons are rarely learned from the triumphs or successes in life. Rather, it is the disappointments and trials in our lives that teach us how to persevere despite the pain. Taking trials away from our kids deprives them of the chance to grow, build character, and trust in God. The best character-building lessons are learned when our children get up after they have fallen. Don't inhibit your child's growth by rescuing them from or taking over difficult situations. Instead, give them the tools to pick themselves up. + +Another challenge is when our child looks at us with teary eyes and asks, "W hy?" We need to admit that even parents do not always have the answers. It is not as important that we answer all the questions as it is that we teach them to trust Jesus. Even when we do not understand we need to trust Him. We need to trust Jesus to open the next door and show us the way out. + +As parents, do you feel the need to always rescue your child? How do you help your child deal with disappointments? Perhaps the best thing we can do as parents is to kneel down beside our children and teach them to take it to The Lord in prayer. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Lord, help me to see the blessings among the trials.

Scripture

+> "Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him." (1 John 2:15 NKJV) + +### Observation + +**_World_.** Gr. kosmos, the “world,” considered as an orderly arrangement of things or people (see on Matt. 4:8; John 1:9). In the NT kosmos often represents the ungodly multitude, alien and hostile to God, or worldly affairs that lead away from God. John uses kosmos more than 100 times in his writings, and more than any other NT author. In most instances he conveys a picture of the world as being alien and hostile to God and in opposition to His kingdom. This usage may reflect concern for false teachings that later developed into Gnosticism, with its dualism, its belief in the struggle between darkness and light, between matter and spirit, between the Demiurge and the true God (see Vol. VI, pp. 54-57). + +Accordingly, when John bids his readers, “Love not the world,” he is not thinking of the earth as it came from the hand of the Creator, but of earthly elements, animate and inanimate, that Satan has marshaled in rebellion against God. John knows how attractive these can appear, and bids Christians to beware of them and to resist their seductive power. Hatred for the world of sin will not prevent the Christian from trying to help the sinner; rather it will enable him the more effectively to love the victim of sin. God Himself is our example in this respect (John 3:16). [The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, Volume 7. 1980 (F. D. Nichol, Ed.) (641). Review and Herald Publishing Association.] + +### Application + +Look in the typical child's room and you will see a toy box or a closet filled with "stuff". And, yet, that same child will tell you that they have nothing to do. We have flooded our children with material possessions. There is little need for imagination and creativity these days with children spending the majority of time in a day "plugged" into some electronic gadget. The more we buy, the more they want as the newness seems to wear off in a short time. Children tire easily and as they grow and change, so do their likes and dislikes. That toy that they begged and pleaded you for a couple of weeks ago is now thrown into the back of their closets and forgotten. That electronic gadget that they had to have last month has now been replaced by a newer up to date model that has now been added to their ever growing list of "wants". + +Why not give your child gifts that can be renewed over and over again by their use For example, art sets, wooden building blocks, scraps of cloth, containers of buttons, marbles, etc. Or, what about encouraging your child to start a collection of rocks, bark, dried flowers, or leafs. A nature collection is one that can last a lifetime and who knows, you may end up also starting a new hobby or encouraging a budding naturalist. + +Take an inventory of your child's possessions. What unintended lesson might you be teaching? Is there an adjustment that you need to make? Is there a new direction that you can encourage your child to go in? + +And, as parents are we guilty of being bad role models? Do we also rush out to buy the latest version of the iPhone or the big screen television set? Do we buy a new car when the old one still runs great? Are our own priorities in material goods? If so, it is no wonder that our children display the same behavior. So, as we take inventory of our children's possessions let's first inventory our own. After all, our little ones will see value in the same things that we treasure. Does our treasure chest as a family contain more things of this earth than it does heavenly treasures?

Evidently these practices must have been common in Egypt, where they had just come from, and in Canaan, where they were headed, and God wanted to prevent His people from falling into the same type of immoral practices. Reading the chapter carefully, one can see a long list of prohibitions against “uncovering the nakedness” of their close relatives, what today would be considered incest among various members of close generations. While most Bibles render the expression as “uncover their nakedness,” the NIV renders it as “do not have sexual relations,” this showing that it is not just the simple act of looking to see the other person while they are naked. [This may help explain somewhat the sin on Noah’s son]. + +Also forbidden in this chapter we find adultery, intermarry with a non-Israelite, homosexuality, and bestiality or intercourse with an animal. + +### Application + +While all of the sinful and deviant practices of the Egyptians and Canaanites have been present in some form and to some extent throughout the centuries and in many parts of the world, it seems as if today, in our day and with the ease of communication through the printed media, movies, and the internet, all of their practices, and more, are either surfacing when they used to be hidden, or are becoming more openly tolerated and encouraged as “normal” and as healthy as heterosexual relationships between two consenting, married adults. The results of these practices continue to be seen in child molestation, rape, domestic violence, and the spread of diseases bot to those who practice such things and to many innocent victims who have nothing to do with them. + +God’s plans for us are always best.

Scripture

+> "Always keep on praying" 1 Thessalonians 5:17 (TLB) + +### Observation + +Pray without ceasing. Literally, “incessantly pray,” with emphasis in the Greek on the idea of continuity (cf. on v. 16). There should be a constant spirit of prayer breathing through the Christian’s life. Never must the connection with Heaven be broken (see on Luke 18:1). Paul labored “night and day” (1 Thess. 2:9); he also prayed “night and day” (ch. 3:10). His many activities did not crowd out his prayers. Active connection with his heavenly Father was always maintained. So it should be with us. Compare the prayer life of Jesus (see on Mark 3:13). [e Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, Volume 7. 1980 (F. D. Nichol, Ed.) (255). Review and Herald Publishing Association.] + +### Application + +Perhaps you have heard the expression, "A family that prays together stays together". These words have been proven true over and over again. Praying is an outlet for our burdens and concerns and serves to strengthen our spirits. Praying with a partner has additional benefits because we can be united in our voices as they are lifted toward heaven. Just to know that someone else is joining you in prayer over an issue seems to lighten burdens. + +If married, we invite you to pray for and with your spouse on a daily basis. Together lift your voices towards heaven. There is no sound so sweet as hearing your spouse praying for you. Bring to Jesus your joys as well as your sorrows, your blessings as well as your challenges, and allow His Spirit to soften any bitterness towards each other that you may be harboring. + +It seems as if my personal prayer life received a big boost on the day that I became a parent. I found myself constantly praying and interceding for my child. If you are married, the best person to partner with you in prayer over a parenting concern is your spouse. However, even single parents can ask another to be their prayer partner. Do you have a prayer partner? Do you pray on a regular daily basis that God will give you wisdom as you make parenting decisions? If ever parents needed to pray for guidance it is in today's world. If a grandparent, pray for your children as they raise your grandchildren. Mediate on their behalf. + +As a family do you have a daily devotional time? If not, today is a great time to start. Consider it a sacred commitment in your calendar. Do not allow other activities to rob you of family devotional time. Pray together as a family unit. If you have little ones, make sure that your devotional activities are appropriate for the ages of your children. And, remember to let the little ones pray aloud as soon as they are able to talk. Their sweet innocent prayers are from their hearts and minister to oldest members of the family. + +Regardless of your family make-up: single parent, grandparent, married couple, young single adult etc., make prayer a priority today. You have a friend in Jesus with is waiting for you to talk to Him. He's listening! + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Lord, thank You for the privilege of coming to You in prayer.

(Luke 2:51-52 NIV) + +### Observation + +Jesus was born in Bethlehem, but some time after His life was threatened by Herod and he and His family fled to Egypt for a time. Once the threat passed, Jesus’ family moved back to the town where His mother, Mary, and her husband, Joseph, had been living just prior to Jesus’ birth. As a result, Jesus grew up in Nazareth, a town which evidently didn’t enjoy a very good reputation so that as He began His ministry Nathanael, who would become one of His disciples, expressed what a well-know saying: “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” (John 1:46) + +And yet, in the midst of a place that was less than ideal to raise a family, Joseph and Mary raised the Son of God as their own and saw grow up obedient to them and to Him. + +### Application + +Joseph and Mary took the responsibility of raising God’s Son as their very own very seriously. They could not take any chances that the corrupting influences of Nazareth would mar His life and character and diligently devoted their lives to giving Him the very best education, that which is based solely on the Word of God. At the same time, they raised Him to trust and obey them for they knew that in so doing He would grow up to trust and obey His Heavenly Father. + +As parents, we reflect God to our children. Obedience to us is not an option but to their ultimate benefit.

Scripture

+> Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding. (John 2:2 NKJV) + +### Observation + +As Jesus began His public ministry, the first event recorded was both a celebration and a miraculous event. Cana is a small town, not too far from Nazareth, where Jesus had grown up with His mother, Mary, and her husband, Joseph. It was during this wedding that the wedding coordinator realized they ran out of wine, which somehow was made known to Mary. As far as we know, Jesus had not performed any miracles (unless Mary had witnessed some), so the wedding coordinator was not asking for one. Whether Mary was asking Jesus to perform a miracle or not, Jesus sensed her concern, and that of the wedding party, and turned the water into fresh wine. By this act, not only did He save those some embarrassment, but also saved the newlywed couple disappointment as their married life was just beginning. + +### Application + +Thousands of couples get married every week. Many of these wish to have the wedding ceremony performed at a church and by a pastor or priest, because they are members they are Christian, at least in word if not in practice. Some church wedding rituals are very elaborate while others have a more simple service. Nevertheless, most Christian couples wish to have God’s blessing, and the blessing and recognition of the church, as they begin their wedded life together. + +In Cana, Jesus and His disciples were invited to join in the festivities of the newlywed couple. My guess is that they never could have imagined that by inviting Jesus, from the nearby town of Nazareth, they were in reality inviting the very Son of God to grace them with His presence. There are two important lessons to learn from this story: + +1. The couple getting married needs to invite God into their wedding ceremony and be aware of His presence during that special service. Weddings, for many, have become more of a show than a spiritual experience. Some choose to be married while skydiving, or scuba diving. Others want to have it at the place where they first met, whether the subway or at a Wal-Mart. Others yet dress up as they were attending a costume party. But Christian couples must approach this day with the full realization they are coming before the presence of the God of the universe, their Creator, and their Redeemer. It is a solemn event, marked with the joy of His presence, but also with the reality that by becoming one flesh they are also exemplifying the union of Christ and His bride, the church. + +2. Many couples invite God into their wedding, but seldom into their marriage. God’s presence should not be only during the hour or so of the wedding ceremony but every hour of the life of this couple and family. Therefore, we need to invite God into our personal life and into our couple and family life every day, and live in the awareness of His presence in our relationship every hour and every minute. + +Invite God to your wedding. . . and to your marriage daily. + +**A Prayer You May Say**: Our God and Father, thank You that in our marriage we tell everyone not only of our love for each other but of the love of Jesus for His bride, the church.

Proverbs 16:24 + +### Observation + +This chapter of Proverbs includes much instruction applicable to human relations. Today’s passage provides helpful advice in any setting - at work, in school, at church, with neighbors, friends, and family. + +### Application + +It is a well-known fact that in family relations kind, gracious, pleasant words are always better than harsh, critical, mean words. No one likes to hear demeaning, angry, or accusatory words, particularly if they come from those we love. Faultfinding, antagonistic speech can make both the speaker and the hearer sick with anger and resentment. On the other hand, appropriately spoken words (cf. Prov. 15:23) that encourage, soothe, or commend can be most pleasant and even uplifting to the point of helping a person feel better physically + +Ellen White wisely wrote, “Do you dislike to have harsh words spoken to you? Remember that when you speak such words others feel the sting. Let your praiseworthy example, your peaceable words and unselfish deeds, be a savor of life unto life. (The Voice in Speech and Song, p.64) + +In a world full of competition for the first place, of anger and rudeness, of pride and arrogance, the sweet, kind, pleasant words spoken and heard at home can be refreshing and even therapeutic. White continues: “The talent of speech was given to be used for the benefit of all. Pleasant, cheery words cost no more than unpleasant, moody words. Sharp words wound and bruise the soul. In this life everyone has difficulties with which to wrestle. Everyone meets with grievances and disappointments. Shall we not bring sunshine instead of gloom into the lives of those with whom we come in contact? Shall we not speak words that will help and bless? They will be just as much a blessing to us as to those to whom they are spoken.--Ms 93, 1901. (Ibid). + +One way to ensure we use pleasant, kind words toward our loved ones is to make an on-going list of the things you like and appreciate in them. Every time they say or do something you like, write it down. Periodically review this list and tell them how you feel about what they said or did. For instance, after your wife fixes you a good meal, tell her how much you liked and appreciated it, write it down on the list, and then one day, instead of expressing frustration or annoyance for what she might have done or fail to do, remind yourself that she fixed you that wonderful mean and tell her again how much you appreciated it and that you think she’s a great cook. Or if your husband hung a picture you asked him to do, tell him thank you for doing that and that you like how it looks on the wall. Every so often you can also tell him that every time you look at that picture you think of him and how good he is with his hands, or how nice of him it was to put it up for you. + +Those kind, gentle, sweet, affirming words will make the other feel warm and loved.

While they all were Sabbaths, that is, rest-days, some of them were great days of celebration. For instance, the Day of Atonement was a very solemn day, a day of judgment, while the Passover was a festivity as they remembered God’s miraculous deliverance from the slavery of Egypt. The Feast of Tabernacles reminded them of the long, forty-year journey through the wilderness, but it was also a celebration of God’s protection throughout all their journeying. All the feasts included time for rest – Sabbath – family gatherings, and family celebrations. + +### Application + +In our day, regardless of where we live, there are annual times for rest, gathering, and celebration. In the United States there are patriotic holidays such as Independence Day (July 4), Memorial Day, and Labor Day. There are also religious holidays such as Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

Scripture

+> “Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 42How can you say to your brother, "Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye," when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother's eye” (Luke 6:41-42, ESV) + +### Observation + +In chapter 6, Luke records the beginning of Jesus’ ministry. Here we read of two controversies which revolved around the Sabbath and the Jewish traditions about its observance, the call of the twelve disciples, Jesus healing the multitude, and a shortened version of the Sermon on the Mount than that found in Matthew. + +In this chapter, Jesus speaks of how His disciples should live in relationship to other people. In vss.27-36 Jesus teaches how we should relate toward our enemies, in vss. 37-42 about judging others, in vss. 43-45 about the fruit His disciples should bear, and in vss.46-49 Jesus closes with the parable of the men who built their house either on the rock or on the sand. + +Today’s passage deals specifically about the attitude of faultfinding so prevalent in human nature. From the very beginning, when Adam and Eve ate of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, when God confronted them with what they had done Adam pointed the finger at Eve – and indirectly toward God who created her for him, and in turn Eve turned her finger toward the serpent. + +### Application + +many marriages, which begin in a most selfless, loving way, turn into a sport of mutual criticism. Husbands find every reason to find fault in their wife, comparing her to other women. As an example, Ellen White writes about such men: “Many husbands do not sufficiently understand and appreciate the cares and perplexities which their wives endure, generally confined all day to an unceasing round of household duties. They frequently come to their homes with clouded brows, bringing no sunshine to the family circle. If the meals are not on time, the tired wife, who is frequently housekeeper, nurse, cook, and housemaid, all in one, is greeted with faultfinding” (The Adventist Home, p.224). + +Wives express little appreciation for their husbands and fail to affirm them for anything they do for them or for their home. They berate them for not making enough money home, for not being able to fix things around the house, and for many other things they don’t like in their husband. They think that is they nag them enough it will encourage theri husbands to do more and be better. “The steady dripping of rain and the nagging of a wife are one and the same” Proverbs 27:15 (CEV). + +Here’s good counsel for those tempted to find fault in their spouse: “The heart of his wife should be the grave for the faults of the husband, and the heart of the husband the grave for his wife's faults. Never should either party indulge in a joke at the expense of the other's feelings. Never should either the husband or wife in sport or in any other manner complain of each other to others, for frequently indulging in this foolish and what may seem perfectly harmless joking will end in trial with each other and perhaps estrangement. I have been shown that there should be a sacred shield around every family” (Ibid, p.177). + +Jesus made clear: When you have a beam sticking out of your own eye, how can you possibly tell your spouse about the speck of dust in their own eye? It is a ridiculous proposition! White’s advice is so much more practical and positive: “Let the husband and wife talk things all over together. Renew the early attentions to each other, acknowledge your faults to each other, but in this work be very careful that the husband does not take it upon himself to confess his wife's faults or the wife her husband's. Be determined that you will be all that it is possible for you to be to each other, and the bonds of wedlock will be the most desirable of ties. {HP 203.4} + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, please help me see the beam in my own eye before I stare at the speck of dust in my spouse’ eye. Help me to look for what is good and right and praiseworthy in their life and ignore the things that cause me to look at them in a negative light. Help me to appreciate my spouse for all they bring into my life and for being Your gift to me. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/10-october-2025/08-october-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/10-october-2025/08-october-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..9134ef3704 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/10-october-2025/08-october-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: The Beam and the Speck of Marriage +startDate: 10/08/2025 +endDate: 10/08/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/10-october-2025/09-october-2025/09-october-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/10-october-2025/09-october-2025/09-october-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..03cf0a54fb --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/10-october-2025/09-october-2025/09-october-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,30 @@ +--- +title: God's Love for the Widowed +date: 10/09/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

+> When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, "Do not weep." Luke 7:13 + +### Observation + +Jesus left Capernaum, where He had healed the servant of a centurion (Roman army officer). His disciples, and a large crowd, followed Jesus when He came to the neqarby city of Nain. As they approached the city they met the funeral procession for a young man, the only son of a widow of that city. As our text for today states, Jesus had compassion on her (NJKV - He was moved with compassion. MSG - His heart broke). So Jesus called the young man to get up, which he did, and He presented her son back to the widow. Both the crowd that was following Jesus and those that were part of the funeral procession “were quietly worshipful—and then noisily grateful, calling out among themselves, "God is back, looking to the needs of his people!" (Luke 7:16, MSG). + +### Application + +One can only begin to imagine the pain this woman must have been feeling. As a widow, she had already lost her husband, her companion, her sustenance. In a land where men were the breadwinners, she had lost her financial stability, her social status, her future security. At least she had a son who would provide her with consolation, companionship, albeit not as a life-partner, with income, and thus financial security, and with the knowledge she would have someone to take care of her in her old age. But now her son was dead and dreams and hopes were shattered as her heart was broken with her overwhelming loss. When her husband died, at least she had her son left; with her son’s death, she had nothing left. + +Throughout the Bible we find many instances and instructions which show God’s special care for widows. For instance, Exodus 22:22 (NKJV) “You shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child.” + +God has compassion on widows (Pss. 68:5; 146:9; Prov. 15:25), and therefore we should do the same (Isa. 1:17; 1 Tim. 5:3; James 1:27). The law provided for widows through a special tithe (Deut. 14:28–29; 26:12–13) and a policy of leaving gleanings during harvest (Deut. 24:19–21). The early church also had a policy of supporting its widows (Acts 6:1). When a nation and its leaders do so, they are promised a blessing (Deut. 14:29; Jer. 7:5–7); the person or nation that does not is cursed (Deut. 27:19; Job 22:9–11; Jer. 22:3–5; Ezek. 22:7, 15–16; Mal. 3:5; Mark 12:40). + +Jesus’ own mother was widowed. He knew by watching her mourn the death of her life-companion what pain she had gone through. This explains why, while hanging on the cross dying, Jesus made careful provision for Mary’s welfare by asking His closest friend, John, to take care of her. + +Widowed people are among the singles in our congregations we sometimes overlook. Because they have family (children, grandchildren), we sometimes forget that they have special needs. It is our responsibility, and privilege, to see that they are visited, and their welfare checked and taken care of.

+> God is the one who began this good work in you, and I am certain that he won't stop before it is complete on the day that Christ Jesus returns. Philippians 1:6 (CEV) + +### Observation + +**_a good work_**—Any work that God begins, He will surely finish (1Sa 3:12). Not even men begin a work at random. Much more the fact of His beginning the work is a pledge of its completion (Is 26:12). So as to the particular work here meant, the perfecting of their fellowship in the Gospel (Php 1:5; Ps 37:24; 89:33; 138:8; Jn 10:28, 29; Jn 10:28, 29, Ro 8:29, 35–39 Heb 6:17–19; Jam 1:17; Jud 1:24). As God cast not off Israel for ever, though chastening them for a time, so He will not cast off the spiritual Israel (De 33:3; Is 27:3; 1Pe 1:5). [Jamieson, R., Fausset, A. R., & Brown, D. (1997). Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (Php 1:6). Oak Harbor, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc.] + +### Application + +Sometime in the history of the church, some people began to believe and teach that salvation is, at least in part, our work to accomplish. I remember hearing early in my Christian walk that “I do my best, and God will do the rest.” By these words I was being taught that I have to do everything in my power to earn salvation, and when I fall short of God’s goal He then makes up the difference. While it sounds like an attractive proposition, it stops being interesting when I realize even my best efforts are simply not good enough. What the Bible teaches is totally different. It is not my effort plus God’s grace which guarantees that I will have salvation; God’s grace, which results in salvation is totally, completely, and uniquely God’s gift to us, regardless of anything we do or try to do. + +In what other areas in our life have we tried to do our best only to fail repeatedly? Have we tried to live as husband and wife depending on our own best effort and hoping that God will make up for our deficiencies? Would we be better off giving our life and marriage completely over to God and allow Him to do His great work in us and submit ourselves to His guiding power? Paul’s promise tells us that God began the good work in us – obviously, the first question is, do we truly believe that God brought us together? If so, the promise ends with Paul’s words “What God began. . . He will finish.” In other words, if God began by bringing you two together, He can bring you two through the challenges in marriage until a happy, healthy end. + +Commit yourself and your marriage daily to God that He may use you individually and as a couple to accomplish His great purpose in You. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, Bless us as individuals and as a couple, and finish the good work You began in us until your ultimate purpose is accomplished in our lives and marriage. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/10-october-2025/10-october-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/10-october-2025/10-october-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..027e7c180c --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/10-october-2025/10-october-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: He Started it, He'll Finish it! +startDate: 10/10/2025 +endDate: 10/10/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/10-october-2025/11-october-2025/11-october-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/10-october-2025/11-october-2025/11-october-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..e488d5e343 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/10-october-2025/11-october-2025/11-october-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,32 @@ +--- +title: Practice What You Preach +date: 10/11/2025 +--- + +_Pamela Consuegra, PhD_ + +>

+> Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified. (1 Corinthians 9:26, 27 NKJV) + +### Observation + +**_Not as uncertainly._** Paul knew exactly where he was going and what he was doing. He aimed to advance as rapidly as possible in the race of life. There was no haziness in his mind about the direction he must take. He ran with a clear and positive assurance of reaching the goal. He exerted himself to the utmost, lest he should fail to secure the crown, a crown, not of fading leaves, but of immortal life, peace, joy, and happiness in the kingdom of glory. The runner in the Greek games had no such certainty of reaching the goal and obtaining the prize. But Paul knew that he, and everyone who complied with the conditions, could be sure of success. When he was nearing the end of his course he gave expression to his absolute assurance that he would receive the crown along with all other victorious Christians (see 2 Tim. 4:7, 8).

The seven were to minister material blessings while the Twelve were to be left free to minister the spiritual benefits derived from the Word of God. This they would do through preaching and various forms of teaching. This clearly explains what is meant by “leave the word of God” (v. 2). [The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, Volume 6. 1980 (F. D. Nichol, Ed.) (190). Review and Herald Publishing Association.] + +### Application + +In the early church, it became evident that the apostles could not to do everything that was expected of them. They were overwhelmed by the many demands for their service. Recognizing they were being stretched beyond the limit, they delegated some of their responsibilities to Godly men able to handle those demands. They chose Stephen and others to perform day-to-day service, so they could have time they needed in their lives to devote "to prayer and to the ministry of the word" (Acts 6:4). + +Perhaps we are just as guilty as the disciples were. And, just as changes needed to occur for them, the same may be true for us today. How often do you allow all the busyness of the day to push aside your time for personal devotions? How often do you have worship together as a family? Are there better ways of managing our schedule so that every member of the family has time with Jesus? Forsaking time with God, even when you spend that time with the family, can leave you empty and ineffective.

Scripture

+> The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your body also is full of darkness. 35 Therefore take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness. 36 If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, the whole body will be full of light, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light." Luke 11:34-36 + +### Observation + +Jesus made an analogy between receptivity to His ministry and the ability to see. Receptivity is like having healthy eyes; one can see well (light enters the body). The warning to ensure that the light in you is not darkness is paradoxical, not illogical. Jesus intended examination of the heart’s spiritual receptivity. [Cabal, T., Brand, C. O., Clendenen, E. R., Copan, P., Moreland, J., & Powell, D. (2007). The Apologetics Study Bible: Real Questions, Straight Answers, Stronger Faith (1537). Nashville, TN: Holman Bible Publishers.] + +### Application + +It is commonly known that men tend to be more visual. That’s one of the reasons why pornography is mostly used by men – although recent research shows that the number of women using pornography is increasing. One of the problems with pornography, however, is that deepens the emptiness in the user which drives him back to look for more, which is what develops his dependence or addiction to it. Another problem is that the more women with little or no clothing he watches, and they are performing all kinds of sex acts with men, he will begin to long for his wife to do the same, and when she doesn’t he becomes frustrated and goes back to watch more pornography. Again, this promotes the continuation of a vicious cycle of frustration, emptiness, loneliness, desire, and repeating the event. The third problem, among many, is that as beautiful as his wife may be, she will never be able to compare with the multitude of women he’s watching, which means he will grow increasingly dissatisfied with her. + +Women might be disgusted with men’s use of pornography, and yet, many are reading romantic novels, many of them very descriptive of sexual situations, or constantly watching movies and TV programs with fictitious plots, romantic encounters, couples falling in love within minutes of meeting and also having sex shortly thereafter.. The constant reading of such novels like the 2012 best seller trilogy “Fifty Shades of Grey” will have a similar effect on women by creating a world of fantasy that no man can possibly fulfill. + +How can one be free of these habits or addictions? Our texts for today tell us that Jesus had just cast out of a man a demon that kept him unable to speak. I find this story very encouraging because if the man couldn’t speak, he obviously could utter words of help to Jesus. But obviously as well, Jesus “heard” the longing of this man’s heart and acted on it. For those of us who seem unable to break away from sin, and it seems as if our prayers go nowhere, this story should lift our spirits with the knowledge that God hears our innermost longing for Him, and that He helps us even when we feel helpless. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, please hear our plea for delivery from the habits and addictions against which we battle, and deliver us from the world of fantasy and the resulting sins into which we fall. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/10-october-2025/13-october-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/10-october-2025/13-october-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..e4b07aae6d --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/10-october-2025/13-october-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Close Your Eyes +startDate: 10/13/2025 +endDate: 10/13/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/10-october-2025/14-october-2025/14-october-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/10-october-2025/14-october-2025/14-october-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..3e04e96473 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/10-october-2025/14-october-2025/14-october-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,22 @@ +--- +title: Treat Kindly +date: 10/14/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

In this stark language the apostle is probably analyzing the situation that confronted Gaius and his friends—the course pursued by Diotrephes is “bad,” and is not to be imitated; the course commended by John in vs. 5–8 is “good,” and should be put into practice. [The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, Volume 7. 1980 (F. D. Nichol, Ed.) (697). Review and Herald Publishing Association.] + +### Application + +Moses had taught the Israelites, “ Never follow a crowd in doing wrong. When you testify in court, don't side with the majority to pervert justice.” (Exodus 23:2, GW). As parents it is important that we teach our children to stand for their own opinion and not be led by what the majority does. Peer pressure can be daunting for some children, particularly if they have been bullied at home by their siblings and even by their parents. While we may think that having children who are compliant and who always accommodate and obey what we ask them to do, it is not a disadvantage if our children disagree with us and test the limits of their parents’ patience, at least some time. James Dobson speaks of the strong-willed child as one who challenges his/her parents often. But it is also that strong will which will not let them be led by the majority or by other children when encouraged to do something that is contrary to what they believe or what they want. + +How do we teach our children to imitate what is good instead of what is bad? As with most everything we want our children to learn, it all begins with the example his/her parents give them. When the husband is rude, unkind, or abusive toward his wife, he is teaching his sons that that is the way men should treat women. On the other hand, when a husband treats his wife with respect, kindness, and love, he is teaching his sons to do the same with his mother, his sisters, and one day with his girlfriend and his wife. When a man cheats on his taxes, steals things from work, or regularly breaks the law, he is teaching his boys to do the same. When a father respects other people’s property, respects the law of the land, and maintains an ethically correct conduct he is showing his children the proper way to live. + +By the way a woman cares for her husband she also shows her daughters the proper care of their father and of the man who will one day be their husband. She does not have to deny her individuality nor consider herself less important or lower than her husband when God created her in His image as much as He created her husband in His image. By the way she acts she teaches her daughters to value and respect themselves which is important to them as they relate to men in their life. But when a woman and wife imitates women on TV or the movies, lives in such a way that others disrespect her, allows a man to abuse her, or doesn’t care for her home or her family she is teaching her daughters to do the same thing. + +Don’t imitate others who don’t live correctly; imitate others who provide good examples of what a man and husband, a woman and wife should be to their children. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, our children watch our every move, listen to our every word, observe what we do.

The original language, however, tells us that maybe what Paul meant to say was that the children he knew about were faithful. As parents, we want to know that all our kids are living in such a way that they are faithful not just in the eyes of other people but in the eyes of God.

When we think about the book of Job we probably remember the disasters that came on him – lost everything, his children were killed, he got sick.

For Job said, ‘It may be that my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.’ Thus Job did regularly.” Job 1:5 (NKJV) Rise early in the morning and pray for your children. Pray for them throughout the day, and let the last words on your lips at night be prayers for them. + +2. Worship with them daily and weekly. One cannot ever underestimate the value of daily family worship, morning and evening, and of attending church together as a family. Even as the kids grow up into adults, attending church together continues to bring the family closer to each other as the same time as they come closer to God. + +3. Serve together. Research and experience show that acts of service deepens the spiritual experience of people. For children and young people, it is more valuable when the family devotes time in service together than when the parents send them or pay for them to go to do it. + +May it be said about our children that they are living according to the truth just as the Father commanded us. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, Bless our children this day, and may they be faithful to You today and each day of their lives. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/10-october-2025/16-october-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/10-october-2025/16-october-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..605dd197e7 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/10-october-2025/16-october-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Your Children's Faith +startDate: 10/16/2025 +endDate: 10/16/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/10-october-2025/17-october-2025/17-october-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/10-october-2025/17-october-2025/17-october-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..888e609902 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/10-october-2025/17-october-2025/17-october-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,34 @@ +--- +title: Family Hatred Rather than Love +date: 10/17/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends, and they will have some of you put to death. (Luke 21:16 NET) + +### Observation + +We shall find that we must let loose of all hands except the hand of Jesus Christ. Friends will prove treacherous, and will betray us. Relatives, deceived by the enemy, will think they do God service in opposing us and putting forth the utmost efforts to bring us into hard places, hoping we will deny our faith. But we may trust our hand in the hand of Christ amid darkness and peril. + +The followers of Christ must expect to encounter sneers. They will be reviled; their words and their faith will be misrepresented. Coldness and contempt may be harder to endure than martyrdom. . . . + +Parents will turn harshly against their children who accept unpopular truth. Those who conscientiously serve God will be accused of rebellion. Property that was willed to children or other relatives who believe the present truth will be given into other hands. Guardians will rob orphans and widows of their just dues. Those who depart from evil will make themselves a prey through laws enacted to compel the conscience. Men will take to themselves property to which they have no right. The words of the apostle will be verified in the near future: "All that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution." [Ellen G. White, Maranatha, p.197] + +### Application + +What would drive members of the same family to turn against each other? I guess the question should be, why are we surprised that they do? The fact is that we are human beings and all of us battle with the same challenges and temptations. Selfishness and egocentricity inside us all want us to be number one, to be served, to be right. + +But, how can this happen among Christians? While we are born again in Christ, we are not perfected yet. As we read about Jesus’ disciples, there existed among them that desire for superiority. Paul and other leaders of the early Christian church also faced that challenge. And the history of the Christian church is plastered with the struggle of countless numbers of people, some very humble and willing to serve, others asserting their power, and others forcing even their fellow spiritual family to submit. + +What about us, though? As hard s it is to live the way God wants us to live, we have some of those days or times when we draw closer to Him and begin making changes in our lives. But the devil is not happy with those changes and he brings criticism, attacks, anger, animosity, and more often than not they come from those closest to us. + +I remember when I first made a commitment to Jesus and to His church. Because that meant leaving the church where I grew up, family and friends became angry and found every opportunity for criticism and to point out where I had fallen, or where my life didn’t completely match their view or even what I had told them my beliefs were now. While the Bile states that we have “a cloud of witnesses,” I felt like I had a cloud of spies. + +As the years have gone by, I have lost the friendship of friends and the love of family, ignoring their hurtful actions and words while at the same time accusing me of being guilty of the same or worse. And yet, Jesus, and Ellen White, point out that the worse is yet to come. Our only consolation and hope is in knowing that even if every hand turns against us, the hand of Jesus still has us in His grasp. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, as hard as it is now to live without the family and friends that we love, it will be so much harder when they betray us and even persecute us. I plead, Father God, for strength and courage as we face these challenges, but I also pray for them that whether they can see You through us or not, they may find You some day, and that in finding You, we may find each other again. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/10-october-2025/17-october-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/10-october-2025/17-october-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..6747a5c574 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/10-october-2025/17-october-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Family Hatred Rather than Love +startDate: 10/17/2025 +endDate: 10/17/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/10-october-2025/18-october-2025/18-october-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/10-october-2025/18-october-2025/18-october-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..e97ad7b000 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/10-october-2025/18-october-2025/18-october-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,26 @@ +--- +title: Ministry Starts at Home +date: 10/18/2025 +--- + +_Pamela Consuegra, PhD_ + +>

Scripture

+> "To Titus, a true son in our common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior. For this reason I left you in Crte, that you should set in order the things that are lacking, and appoint elders in every city as I commanded you— if a man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of dissipation or insubordination." (Titus 1:4-6 NKJV) + +### Observation + +Titus. Titus is not mentioned in the book of Acts. A few facts concerning him may be gathered from incidental references in the Pauline epistles. He was a Gentile Christian (Gal. 2:3), possibly a convert of Paul (Titus 1:4). He is first mentioned as accompanying Paul from Antioch to Jerusalem for the Jerusalem Council (Gal. 2:1–3; cf. Acts 14:26–28; 15:1–4); hence it is sometimes conjectured that he was a native of Antioch. Later he is associated with Paul during part of the apostle’s Third Missionary Journey (2 Cor. 2:13; 7:6, 13). The epistle to Titus informs us that he was left in Crete to set certain things in order and to organize churches there (ch. 1:5). The Cretan service was only temporary, for Titus was requested to join Paul at Nicopolis (ch. 3:12). Titus is last mentioned in 2 Tim. 4:10, where he is said to have gone to Dalmatia. [The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, Volume 7. 1980 (F. D. Nichol, Ed.) (359). Review and Herald Publishing Association.] + +### Application + +It is interesting to note that Paul, when stating the qualifications for deacons and elders in the early church, started on the home front. He did not make a high standing in the community, or elevated position on the career ladder as a qualifier. Instead, of far greater importance was what was happening behind the closed doors of the home. What were the relationships like within the home walls? What words described the husband/wife relationship? Were the children expected to be obedient? In essence, was the home a faithful witness of Jesus to others? + +I wonder if we have failed to realize that our homes are indeed major centers of evangelism. Evangelistic opportunities abound. And, what happens outside the church often speaks louder of Jesus than what happens behind the pulpit. Others are watching us. They see our interactions with family members in the grocery store, at the gas station, and in restaurants. They notice as our family takes the time to hold hands, bow heads, and say a prayer of thanksgiving in the restaurant. They see the husband open the door for his wife in the parking lot. And, they hear the tone of our voices as we speak to our little ones. + +What message are we telling the world through our families? Would our homes stand up to this test? Do your neighbors know that Jesus is the center of your home? Jesus should not be a hidden guest in our homes. He should have a place of honor. He should be invited to go with our families wherever we go. Others should see Him as we reflect Him in our homes and family interactions. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Dear Lord, may my home be an evangelistic center. may my neighbors, friends, and family members see You.

Amen." (Jude 1:24, 25 NKJV) + +### Observation + +**_Now_**. In concluding his letter Jude turns from the false teachers and their prototypes and directs his readers’ attention to the ineffable glory of the Lord. This doxology closely parallels that of Rom. 16:25–27 (see comment there). + +**_Unto him that is able_**. The same Greek words are translated “to him that is of power” in Rom. 16:25 (see comment there and on Eph. 3:20). + +**_Keep you_**. A vivid picture of the Lord’s constant care for His children. + +**_From falling_**. The one who accepts God’s guardianship can live above sin (cf. on 1 John 3:6, 9). + +**_To present_**. The climax of God’s keeping comes when the believer stands without fear in the divine presence, on the day of judgment (cf. on 1 John 2:28). By the enabling grace of Christ the Christian lives with a confident belief in God’s power to keep him from falling into sin and to enable him, eventually, to stand spotless and unashamed in the divine presence.

Scripture

+> "Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. “And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.” (Revelation 21:1-5 NKJV) + +### Observation + +New. Gr. kainos, “new” in quality as opposed to that which is worn or marred. Both occurrences of “new” in this verse are translations of kainos. Neos, also translated “new” in the NT (Matt. 9:17; 1 Cor. 5:7; Col. 3:10; etc.), refers to newness in point of time. By using the word kainos, John is probably emphasizing the fact that the new heavens and earth will be created from the purified elements of the old, and thus be new in quality, different. The new heavens and the new earth are, then, a re-creation, a forming anew of existing elements, and not a creation ex nihilo. Compare 2 Peter 3:13. [The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, Volume 7. 1980 (F. D. Nichol, Ed.) (889).

A willing mind makes even a little acceptable, but to do less than one is able to do is a denial of willingness. A generous will is good in itself, but alone it is not enough. The will must be embodied in deeds, if our best desires and energies are to give solidity and strength to the character. It is good to cherish the ideal of charity, but the ideal must find practical expression. Faith and love, as ideals, never feed the hungry or clothe the naked (James 2:14–20). “Readiness,” then, is a spontaneous disposition and attitude of mind to serve God and one’s fellow men. It has no need of being urged or driven forward by the importunity of others. [The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, Volume 6. 1980 (F. D. Nichol, Ed.) (890). Review and Herald Publishing Association.] + +### Application + +The Formula 1 Grand Prix has very specific rules that must be adhered to beginning 30 minutes before the race can start. For instance, drivers are free to complete a reconnaissance lap of the circuit before taking up their grid positions. If a driver wishes to complete additional reconnaissance laps he must pass through the pit lane each time in order to bypass the grid. The pit lane closes 15 minutes prior to the formation lap. Any drivers still in the pit lane at this time will have to start the race from there. + +Ten minutes before the start the grid must be cleared except for team technical staff, race officials and drivers. With three minutes to go all cars must have their wheels fitted (any car not complying will receive a 10-second time penalty). With a minute to go all cars must have their engines running. All personnel must then leave the grid at least 15 seconds before the green lights come on to signal the start of the formation lap. + +All these rules, and several more, are there to ensure the safety of the drivers and their team, but also to ensure that the race will start correctly and fairly for all the participants. Of course, even when everything goes just right, every race is different depending on the weather conditions, the pilots driving those powerful machines, the condition of each car, the team that changes the tires and fills the gas tank at every pit stop, and many other variables. At the end, the team that works best will prove to be the winner. The champion is not just the driver who crosses the line in first place, it is the entire team that helped him/her get there. + +Marriage and family life is a team sport. It is what we do together to ensure we are all winners which helps all to achieve the goals that we as a family set for ourselves. Much research shows the advantages that married people have.

Married people tend to enjoy better health because they are always looking after each other’s well-being. It is not only how we begin this race we call family life that’s importance, but that we stay the course and go together to the finish line. Keeping the end in mind will help us reach those goals together. That’s why the Apostle Paul encourages us: So finish what you began to do.

+> Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins. 1 Peter 4:8 (NLT) + +### Observation + +**charity shall cover the multitude,** &c.—The oldest manuscripts have “covereth.” Quoted from Pr 10:12; compare Pr 17:9. “Covereth” so as not harshly to condemn or expose faults; but forbearingly to bear the other’s burdens, forgiving and forgetting past offenses. Perhaps the _additional_ idea is included, By prayer for them, _love tries to have them covered by God;_ and so being the instrument of converting the sinner from his error, “covereth a (not ‘the,’ as _English Version_) multitude of sins”; but the former idea from Proverbs is the _prominent_ one. It is not, as Rome teaches, “covereth” _his own_ sins; for then the _Greek_ middle voice would be used; and Pr 10:12; 17:9 support the Protestant view. “As God with His love covers my sins if I believe, so must I also _cover the sins of my neighbor_” [Luther]. Compare the conduct of Shem and Japheth to Noah (Ge 9:23), in contrast to Ham’s exposure of his father’s shame. We ought to cover others’ sins only where love itself does not require the contrary. [Jamieson, R., Fausset, A. R., & Brown, D. (1997). _Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible_ (1 Pe 4:8). Oak Harbor, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc.] + +### Application + +Shaunti Feldhahn, in her book _The Surprising Secrets of Highly Happy Marriages”_ writes about the power of a positive, loving attitude toward their relationship and toward their spouse: “Highly happy spouses choose to believe their mate cares for them—no matter what they’re seeing from their spouse or feeling at the time—and they act accordingly.” She adds: “It turns out that positive changes in a marriage rarely depend on one difficult spouse suddenly becoming an altogether different person. Usually, the opposite is true. Change—even in challenging marriages—most often starts with one immediate, practical, and surprising choice. A choice made by just one partner. And you can make it. The day you put one surprising secret to work in your relationship—and then another—may go unnoticed by your partner. But you have launched an insurrection against mediocrity and unhappiness.” + +What Mrs. Feldhahn’s research shows (which is supported by other extensive support, particularly in the area of Cognitive Behavioral Psychology), is that when we choose to love our spouse, and we show it through word and action, our thinking toward them changes, and eventually our feelings will change as well. A very interesting TED lecture presented by Amy Cuddy, form Harvard University (http://www.ted.com/talks/amy_cuddy_your_body_language_shapes_who_you_are) also confirms that it is in our power to change our behavior and the resulting thinking and feeling. + +God is not asking us to “feel” loving, but rather to “act” lovingly. Sometimes in marriage we wait until our spouse changes and becomes more loving so before we respond to them in a loving manner, but what God says is that we are the ones that should take that first step, and when we act lovingly that love can cover all things, even those that have harmed our relationship in the past. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, help us to act lovingly even when we don’t “feel” it. May your love permeate our lives and our relationships so that it will cover us and our past so that we may have a better future. + +Father God, help us to act lovingly even when we don’t “feel” it.

Scripture

+> But if a widow has children or grandchildren, these should learn first of all to put their religion into practice by caring for their own family and so repaying their parents and grandparents, for this is pleasing to God. 1 Tim 5:4 NIV + +### Observation + +Early Christians cared for widows in their midst, but administering this aid proved challenging (see Acts 6:1–7). Timothy is to encourage family members to care for relatives who are widows (1 Tim. 5:4, 8, 16) and to ensure that aid is given to women who are really widows (v. 5). Those who are to be placed on the list of widows approved for aid (taken into the number, v. 9) are to meet certain qualifications. Paul advises against including women less than 60 years of age and prefers that younger women remarry (vv. 9, 14). [Dybdahl, J. L. (Ed.). (2010). Andrews Study Bible Notes (p. 1584). Berrien Springs, MI: Andrews University Press.] + +### Application + +Single parents face a number of challenges. In some cases, single parents need to deal with their own finances and the added financial responsibility of their children in another household. Single parents have to care for their own household entirely on their own. This could include fixing meals, all the household chores, helping with homework, attending parent-teacher meetings, taking their children to the doctor or staying home with a sick child even when that may mean losing income for the day, and so much more. + +Today’s text underscores the important role that churches should play in supporting widows with children and grandchildren. That is God’s plan and ideal. But we know that in today’s world it probably rarely happens that way. When single parents consider all these heavy responsibilities, they may like to have a life partner to share in all they have to do. And yet, much research shows that one of the most difficult dynamics is that of blended families or step-parenting homes. Not long ago a lady spoke to us to tell us of the difficult relationship between her husband and her son, who is his step-son. In a blunt way he told her, “I didn’t marry you to become a dad.” How sad that is! + +Many single parents, wanting the support of a partner and a parent figure for their children, enter into relationships that end up being more damaging to their children. Children are often exposed to a revolving door of step-parents, toward whom they may develop positive feelings, only to feel abandoned again when those relationships end. Often, many children experience emotional and physical abuse at the hands of their step-parents. + +I think even Paul hints that what widows (or single parents) should devote their life to raising their children first, at least until they are adults. He urges single parents to provide for their children the type of atmosphere where they will help them in their spiritual growth, and to put their religious principles into practical use. While it is a difficult road, remaining single is a better arrangement for single parents than bringing other people into their children’s lives, particularly if doing so disrupts the parents’ relationship with their children, and with God. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, I pray you help and encourage single parents, and may they find in You their Companion and Helper so they may devote their life to helping their children come to know You and serve You. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/10-october-2025/24-october-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/10-october-2025/24-october-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..a89d171952 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/10-october-2025/24-october-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Single Parenting Priorities +startDate: 10/24/2025 +endDate: 10/24/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/10-october-2025/25-october-2025/25-october-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/10-october-2025/25-october-2025/25-october-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..3d69f5f038 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/10-october-2025/25-october-2025/25-october-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,30 @@ +--- +title: A Healthful Shabbat +date: 10/25/2025 +--- + +_Richard M.

The mother has the honor of officially receiving the Sabbath by kindling the Sabbath lights. The children watch her light the candles. Then we hear her offering a prayer of blessing upon the family: “Grant me and all my loved ones a chance to truly rest on this Sabbath day.” + +The father tenderly takes his children in his arms or places his hands on their bowed heads and recites a blessing for each. + +Then for all comes the priestly dedication: “May the Lord bless you and keep you; may the Lord cause His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you; may the Lord lift up His countenance toward you and give you peace.” + +The woman’s place of honor on the Sabbath and her exalted position in the home are then again emphasized as the husband sings to his wife from Proverbs 31, extolling her virtues: “Many women have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all!” + +Next comes the Sabbath meal, with the special blessing over the challah bread and the special Sabbath courses. On Sabbath the family eats the choicest food of all the week. During the meal the family heartily sings joyous table hymns reflecting the feeling and mood of the Sabbath.

Scripture

+> (Num 2:1-2 NKJV) And the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying: {2} "Everyone of the children of Israel shall camp by his own standard, beside the emblems of his father's house; they shall camp some distance from the tabernacle of meeting. + +### Observation + +In the camp of Israel, God wanted there to be order and organization. Three tribes were to be encamped on each of the four sides of the tabernacle. The sight of those thousands of tents and the several millions of people in and around them must have been very impressive. I imagine there was order and solemnity much of the time, but there must have been lighter moments when children played and chased each other, families sat together to eat, or to take a nap, or to talk about the events of the day. This was a forty-year-long family camping experience. Of course, there were probably also times when things got a little tense around camp and people stepped on each others’ toes. . . that all’s part of being with others. + +### Application + +I remember one camping trip with my family in particular. My dad had a tent made for our family (you didn’t just go to a store to buy one). Since there were six of us children and my parents, it had to be big enough to hold all eight of us. It was made of heavy canvass, and the support was made or regular plumbing pipes. What this means is that the tent was very heavy, and carrying all those pipes and trying to figure out where each went made it for hard work, a lot of head, and back, aches, lots of tense moments, lots of stress when what we were looking for was rest. + +But once the canvas monster was finally set up, it was pure joy. We gathered wood for a fire so we could cook our meals. The place where we camped was an open field that belonged to one of my dad’s customer and who granted us permission to stay over the weekend, by the river, and no one anywhere near us to disturb us. The open field was a place where cows pastured, so we needed to be careful where we stepped; at the same time, the dry remnants were thrown on the fire because we had been told they would serve as mosquito repellent. During that weekend, it was hot some of the time (which under a canvass tent was almost unbearable), it was rainy at times, and it was cool at times, but it was most enjoyable most of the time. I remember swimming in the crystal clear water of the river, eating freshly caught fish from the same river, sitting at night by the fire and looking up at millions of stars we couldn’t normally see from our city home. + +Now, some forty years later, I still remember so much of that weekend – including having to pull my brother-in-law’s car all the way home (he and my sister were not yet married, so it was most embarrassing and humiliating for him, even though my dad didn’t say anything to make him feel so). Those special family times make our memories and make our future. We may not enjoy camping, but certainly there are activities we can enjoy doing together. With my wife and daughters, we enjoy traveling to new places (we have been to 45 of the 50 states in the union and several countries outside of the US. We treasure everyone of the memories we have collected through all those years.

Then Abram said to Lot, “Let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen and my herdsmen; . . . Is not the whole land before you?

For example, Jesus set boundaries, even with his own parents (Luke 2:49). When His mother attempted to dominate and control Him, He told her not to tell Him what to do (John 2:4). As Peter tried to manage Jesus’ behavior, Jesus replied, “Get away from me, Satan! You are an obstacle in my way” (Matt. 16:23, TEV). Yet many Christians feel guilty if they define a psychological boundary, or defend themselves when they feel they are taken advantage of or hurt. + +What is a boundary? It is the means by which we protect ourselves from others who would hurt or control us in some way, yet without offending others. It is a barrier beyond which we will not go, and behind which we will not allow others to come. + +Our boundaries define who we are and what is important to us. In order to let others know how we want to be treated, we have to be willing to tell the truth and set limits.

Scripture

+> "For the LORD God of Israel says That He hates divorce, For it covers one's garment with violence," Says the LORD of hosts. "Therefore take heed to your spirit, That you do not deal treacherously." Malachi 2:16 (NKJV) + +### Observation + +In order to safeguard His relationship with His people, God commanded them not to intermarry with the surrounding nations who worshiped other gods (Deut. 7:3–4). But this forbidden practice had now become so widespread that the prophet could legitimately say that the whole nation of Judah had ‘profaned’ the Lord’s institution (Mal 2:11). What was Malachi saying? The Lord’s institution was His covenant relationship with His people, whom He loved, and that relationship was now being contaminated by the men of the nation treating their marriages so casually and marrying women who worshiped foreign gods. + +To make things worse, the men of Israel were divorcing their wives so they could be joined in these mixed marriages. This blatant disregard for their marriage vows, prompted God to say that he hates divorce (v. 16). It violates his ideal of oneness (vv. 10, 15; Gen. 2:24). + +### Application + +To say God hates divorce is to say that he hates everything that leads up to divorce, which means he also hates all our failures to work towards real companionship and oneness in marriage. We may be tempted to think that what goes on in our homes doesn’t have any bearing on the rest of life, but it does. Here in Malachi’s day we find men going to meet the Lord at the temple, and the Lord points them back to their homes. Family life influences every other part of our life. + +What is it about divorce that causes so much concern? Here are just a few of the many harmful results of this drastic decision to end a marriage: + +Each year, over 1 million American children suffer the divorce of their parents; moreover, half of the children born this year to parents who are married will see their parents divorce before they turn 18. Mounting evidence in social science journals demonstrates that the devastating physical, emotional, educational, spiritual, and financial effects that divorce is having on these children will last well into adulthood and affect future generations. Among these broad and damaging effects are the following: + +1. Children whose parents have divorced are increasingly the victims of abuse. They exhibit more health, behavioral, and emotional problems, are involved more frequently in sex and drug abuse, and have higher rates of suicide. +2. Children of divorced parents perform more poorly in reading, spelling, and math. They also are more likely to repeat a grade and to have higher drop-out rates and lower rates of college graduation. +3. Families with children that were not poor before the divorce see their income drop as much as 50 percent. Almost 50 percent of the parents with children that are going through a divorce move into poverty after the divorce. +4. Religious worship, which has been linked to better health, longer marriages, and better Family life, drops after the parents divorce. +5. The divorce of parents, even if it is amicable, tears apart the fundamental unit of American society. Today, according to the Federal Reserve Board's 1995 Survey of Consumer Finance, only 42 percent of children aged 14 to 18 live in a "first marriage" family--an intact two-parent married family. It should be no surprise to find that divorce is having such profound effects on society. + +When you are in the middle of a very contentious relationship you may feel as if the only way out is to get a divorce. Here’s an interesting bit of information: University of Chicago sociologist Dr. Linda Waite says, “For most people, marital unhappiness is not permanent.” Recent findings indicate that two-thirds of all unhappy marriages are repaired within five years. + +Researchers examined data on 5,232 married adults and “found that 645 [of the] subjects reported marital dissatisfaction. When the unhappy spouses were surveyed five years later, those who had remained married were more likely than the divorced subjects to state that they were happy. In fact, the most miserable marriages had the most dramatic turnarounds: 78% of people who stayed in very unhappy' marriages said that the marriages were currently happy.” The study also showed that only 19% of those who had divorced were happily remarried. + +God hates divorce because of what it does to His children, the people He loves, the people He sent His Son to die for. But He also hates divorce because of what it does to their relationship with Him. Don’t give up on your marriage; fight for it as if your very life and salvation depended on it. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, please help those couples who are in the midst of that horrific decision to separate and divorce, help them to see the life-lasting results to their children, and help them to mend their relationship for their sake, for their children’s sake, and for Your honor and glory. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/10-october-2025/31-october-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/10-october-2025/31-october-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..f90a908c58 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/10-october-2025/31-october-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: God Hates Divorce +startDate: 10/31/2025 +endDate: 10/31/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/10-october-2025/section.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/10-october-2025/section.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..37a2e8bee0 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/10-october-2025/section.yml @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +title: October 2025 \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/11-november-2025/01-november-2025/01-november-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/11-november-2025/01-november-2025/01-november-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..752f12ba8e --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/11-november-2025/01-november-2025/01-november-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,30 @@ +--- +title: Jesus Loved Them +date: 11/01/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. John 11:5 + +### Observation + +Jesus was told that Lazarus, His friend, was sick. In order to make a connection as to who this Lazarus is, John writes that he is the brother of Mary, the woman that anointed Jesus with oil and wiped His feet with her hair. As we trace her history back, this evidently was the same woman that was caught in adultery and was brought to Jesus as they were about to stone her – not that they cared about her or what she did, but rather in order to catch Jesus and accuse Him. + +Evidently the home of Lazarus and his two sisters, mary and Martha, was a place of refuge for Jesus and His disciples. Ellen White writes, “Jesus had often found the rest that His weary human nature required at the house of Lazarus, in Bethany. His first visit there was when He and His disciples were weary from a toilsome journey on foot from Jericho to Jerusalem. They tarried as guests at the quiet home of Lazarus, and were ministered unto by his sisters, Martha and Mary”(Daughters of God 57). + +Now, the place that had offered Jesus and His disciples some respite from their hectic life, had become a place of sorrow and sadness at the passing of Lazarus. + +### Application + +We can draw many lessons from this precious story. We could talk about the foretaste of the resurrection day, when Jesus returns, and how families will be reunited with their loved ones. We could talk about Jesus sympathy, not just empathy, for these two sisters – He didn’t simply feel for them, He felt with them, that is, He Himself felt the pain they felt. . . and He cried (vs.35). We could talk about the hardness of the hearts of those Jewish leaders who, in spite of being witnesses to the most powerful of all of Jesus’ miracles, refused to believe in Him and instead went out to plot how to destroy Him. + +But today, I want us to focus on the words of our text, “Jesus loved Martha, and her sister Mary and Lazarus.” Evidently they knew and felt that love, so that when Lazarus became ill they didn’t hesitate to call on Jesus for help. It is also evident that they loved Him and were delighted to have Him and His disciples visit anytime. Their response to Jesus’ love was at least partly the natural response to His forgiveness and delivery from prostitution, and demon possession, of Mary. She went out of her way to demonstrate her gratitude to Him by purchasing the most expensive perfume to anoint Him. The tears with which she washed His feet, at a later time, demonstrate her added love and appreciation for bringing her brother, and probably sole support of the family, back to life. + +At the same time, the fact that Jesus loved them does not mean that death would not visit them, that sorrow and hardship would never knock on their door, that pain and suffering would be absent from their lives. And this, I think, is one of the most important lessons from this story. No matter who we are, we will be touched with pain, suffering, sickness, and even death, at some point during our lives – after all, none of us is immortal yet. The fact that any of these things happen is not proof that God doesn’t love us. On the contrary, what this story teaches us is that Jesus loves us before, in the midst, and after we experience pain and sorrow, and even death. It was the knowledge of that love that encouraged Mary and Martha even as their hearts were breaking. We, too, can bask in His love for us even while our minds worry and our hearts break! + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Dear Father, thank You for surrounding us with Your love even during those times when we have a hard time seeing You and when the tears covering our eyes feel as if they are about to drown our hearts.

Each time we make a decision to think the same way, repeat the same words, or do the same things over again, a small protein molecule, called a bouton, begins to form at the end of the sending fiber of the brain cell being stimulated. This bouton enlarges and multiplies with each repetition. It also secretes a chemical that causes the message to be transferred along the nerve pathway.

Scripture

+> (Num 3:40-41 NKJV) Then the LORD said to Moses: "Number all the firstborn males of the children of Israel from a month old and above, and take the number of their names. {41} "And you shall take the Levites for Me; I am the LORD; instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the livestock of the children of Israel." + +### Observation + +The firstborn has always had a privileged relationship with God. Adam was the firstborn of all. There is special mention of Cain as the firstborn of Adam and his horrific actions. As the firstborn of each generation is born, special mention is made of them. In the book of numbers, God reiterates that the Levites are God’s in place of all the firstborn of Israel; it is their privilege to be chosen and enjoyed the special honor of conducting the services of the sanctuary and being the ones in charge of the transportation, the care, and the maintenance of it. By doing that, they enjoyed a closer contact, at least geographically, to God, than any of the other tribes. + +### Application + +Being the fifth child in a family of six siblings, I understand about the privilege the older siblings enjoy. In my home, the older child always had special privileges. For instance, when riding in our car, my mother was always seated by my father, and it was my sister, the firstborn, who would seat next to her. After my sister moved to the U.S., the one who would seat in the front seat would be the next or the second-born, in this case my second oldest brother. As you can imagine, it was a long time before I could seat in the front seat; in reality, I rarely did, except at those times when I was the only one riding with my dad in the car. + +We had similar seating arrangements at the dining table with my father at the head, my mother at his left, and the older siblings down the line. . . I was at the far end. My older sister had her own room while the rest of us shared rooms. Once she left, y older brother got his own room, and when he got married, my other brother got his room. When my other sister got married, I finally got my own room, by then I was about thirteen years old and had been sharing a room with my younger brother for the last 5 years. + +As I look back, it was not a matter of showing preference for any of us, it was a way of honoring and respecting us all individually and instilling in the younger siblings the same honor and respect for anyone older than us. Maybe that was part of what God was trying to instill in the Israelites; that the Levites were a special tribe in the same way the Israelites were chosen to be His special people. While we want to love our children equally, the birth order of our children gives us an opportunity to help them understand good, strong, healthy family dynamics and also lessons of respect, honor, and a teachable spirit so them may be open to learning from those older than they are. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, thank You for teaching us to honor and respect those older than we are because from them we can also learn how to love, honor, and respect You. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/11-november-2025/04-november-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/11-november-2025/04-november-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..c88b516944 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/11-november-2025/04-november-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Servant Leadership +startDate: 11/04/2025 +endDate: 11/04/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/11-november-2025/05-november-2025/05-november-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/11-november-2025/05-november-2025/05-november-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..87c10edadd --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/11-november-2025/05-november-2025/05-november-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,26 @@ +--- +title: What About Grandaddy? +date: 11/05/2025 +--- + +_Gerri Bradley_ + +>

But when he moved into our house he became so depressed I couldn't leave him alone. I guess he decided he was going to die. He wouldn't eat or drink water. Although he could walk, he wouldn't, so I got him a wheelchair and pushed him around the house. After three weeks he decided that maybe he wasn't going to die after all, so he started eating and walking and grew to like our place. + +Grandaddy was easy to care for, since he ate with us and fit into our routine. But trying to get Grandaddy to take a bath was a challenge. He thought twice a month was often enough! Sometimes he'd get mad at me and stomp his foot, but I didn't take it personally. When we needed to get away, we'd use his pension money to pay some friends to stay with him. They loved him as much as we did. Grandaddy was good company. + +Life is what you choose to make of it.

With people pressing on Him from every side, and with such a busy schedule as Jesus had, they wanted to “protect” Him. Jesus was not a campaigning politician looking for a photo opp holding a child.

+> Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked. Ps. 84:10, NIV. + +A few weeks ago at dinner we discussed a request for prayer an employee had made of us. A similar request came a week later. We prayed, not knowing the precise nature of the problem. Was it something at work? at home? a concern for children or spouse? Before long the mystery was solved. Two more Christian marriages went on the rocks, leaving spouses in despair, children lost, careers ruined, financial hardships, and doubts about God and His calling to Christian service. + +It would be foolhardy to explain precisely what went wrong, but the reasons offered sounded like a familiar litany. Missing attentions, children growing up, the pressures of finances, careers, advanced study, house and home, and church and community. Trying to have it all and to do it all became too overwhelming, until what was once a healthy family became a sick one. + +What is the remedy for such illness? May we suggest a serious consideration of Psalm 84:3, 4: "Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young-a place near your altar, O Lord Almighty, my King and my God. Blessed are those who dwell in your house" (NIV). Here the psalmist portrays God's house, which means His presence, as a lovely place. Sparrow and swallow find safety near God's altar so they can build nests and raise their young.What a picture of family health!

Scripture

+> The greatest among you will be your servant. (Matthew 23:11 NET) + +### Observation + +Jesus is speaking to the people and pronounces some of the strongest condemnations on the Pharisees and Scribes. His biggest concerns have to do both with their teachings and with their attitude. They want to be seen and known as higher than anyone else and therefore given preferential treatment. They want to teach and tell others how to live and act even if they don't necessarily or always follow their own rules. + +### Application + +In one of the most significant passages in the New Testament dealing with marriage, Ephesians 5, Paul writes these words, particularly to wives: "Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord, because the husband is the head of the wife as also Christ is the head of the church – he himself being the savior of the body. But as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything" (Ephesians 5:22-24 NET). + +These words, taken all by themselves, isolated from their immediate context and to the larger biblical context, have been grossly misused by many men to the detriment of their marital relationships, have led to the abuse of women, and have misrepresented what Paul, and God, intended to say about the relationship of a woman toward her husband. Some have read these words and have assumed the wife should be no more than a slave, a doormat, a servant ready to fulfill her husband's every wish, desire, and order. It is no wonder that many women have rebelled against this understanding and rejected these words, and sometimes have rejected the Bible as a whole and God because they see it and Him as oppressive toward women. + +That's why I have chosen to use today's passage in conjunction to Ephesians 5 so we can draw some biblical guidelines for the marital relationship. + +1. _The husband is the head of the wife_. While some people, particularly men, see this as a higher position than their wives, Paul describes it as a relationship of mutual submission and dependence. He wrote on vs. 21: "and submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ" (Ephesians 5:21 NET). The head cannot survive without the body anymore than the body can survive without the head. In 1 Corinthians 12 Paul uses the analogy of the body to explain the interdependence that the different parts of the body, the church, have toward one another. Likewise in marriage, we depend on our relationship for the survival of the relationship. + +2. _The husband is the head_. While some men would like to read "boss" here, and by that meaning that their word is the ultimate authority, our text for today speaks of a different type of leadership - Servant Leadership. Jesus said, "he who desires to be the greatest must be servant of the other." The leadership that God wants for the husband is that in which his aim to serve his wife, particularly since she is God's daughter. + +3. _Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord._ Paul does not say that their husband IS The Lord, but rather that they act toward their husband in the same attitude of submission as they would to theLord Jesus. In the light of what I wrote on #2, a husband who is a servant-leader would be a reflection of Jesus who washed His disciples' feet to exemplify what a servant-leader should do. And when a husband acts like Jesus, as a servant-leader, then the wife would find it a lot easier to submit to him. This mutual attitude of respect and servanthood is what Paul spoke about in vs.21 (see above under #1). + +The words of Paul in Ephesians 5:22-24 should in no way give men reason to mistreat their wives or to require strict "obedience" from them. After all, Paul continued his instructions to men by telling them to love their wives "JUST AS CHRIST LOVED THE CHURCH." Jesus served the church by dying for it; therefore husbands should do everything to serve their wives to the point of even dying for them, if it became necessary. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, teach us to be humble servants of our spouses and to treat each other with the same love that Your Son has for us which He showed by dying on the cross. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/11-november-2025/09-november-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/11-november-2025/09-november-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..1899742e00 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/11-november-2025/09-november-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Servant Leadership +startDate: 11/09/2025 +endDate: 11/09/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/11-november-2025/10-november-2025/10-november-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/11-november-2025/10-november-2025/10-november-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..9771ad1b3e --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/11-november-2025/10-november-2025/10-november-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,26 @@ +--- +title: God's Bonding Delight for Marriage +date: 11/10/2025 +--- + +_Alberta Mazat_ + +>

+> Now Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain. Gen. 4:1. + +While some more modern translations of the Bible may be more technically accurate, the King James Version portrays the story of Eve and Adam's marital union most sensitively and poetically.

Knowing someone well takes time, interest, and motivation. + +When the King James translators used the word "know" to refer to the sexual experience of the first pair, they were saying something extremely profound. In order for sex to be the bonding delight God intended it to be, marital partners really need to "know" each other in much more than a physical sense. They must try to understand each other's emotional needs and strive to meet them. The couple will be interested in each other's values, goals, and ideas and will share spiritual insights. Only then can they truly "know" each other sufficiently to join their bodies in a complete knowing. And since the years will change their feelings, ideas, and perhaps even their interests, such knowing each other must be a continuous process of communicating and sharing. + +Being increasingly able to participate in this type of openness can lead to a higher sense of intimacy. A couple who have only physical proximity of bodies without the other components of togetherness cannot be considered truly intimate. Intimacy denotes a closeness of the whole person. + +This type of experience reflects the meaning of the word "within."

Scripture

+> If the spirit of jealousy comes upon him and he becomes jealous of his wife, who has defiled herself; or if the spirit of jealousy comes upon him and he becomes jealous of his wife, although she has not defiled herself— 15 then the man shall bring his wife to the priest. He shall bring the offering required for her, one-tenth of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil on it and put no frankincense on it, because it is a grain offering of jealousy, an offering for remembering, for bringing iniquity to remembrance. (Numbers 5:14-15 NKJV) + +### Observation + +The SDABC explains that the term “the spirit of jealousy,” “indicates an intense impulse or emotion.” The BRC adds, “The prescribed ritual is not magical. Rather the call for a jealous husband to take his suspected wife to “stand before the Lord” (v. 16) acts out the belief that God is present among His people. The whole ritual is an affirmation of faith, and in response to that faith God promises to act. He will clear an innocent woman and visibly judge a guilty one. The ritual is thus communication between God and His people. The jealous husband speaks to God, and in response God speaks to the husband. What is more, God speaks to the whole community. He reminds His people that sins have consequences, and that the sinner must bear the consequences even of hidden sins. + +Abdomen swell and thigh waste away (5:22, 27). The phrase does not describe a deadly disease, but rather was a way the Hebrews spoke of childlessness and miscarriage. + +### Application + +There are several points that come from the situation here mentioned: + +1. If the woman has not done anything, then she has nothing to fear. + +2. If she has done something, the fear and guilt involved will consume her – in fact, more than an actual punishment which God brings on her, maybe the swelling of the abdomen and the wasting away is a picture of the internal struggle which ends up consuming the guilty, unrepentant party. + +3. If the marriage is strong and healthy, there’s no reason for the man to have these feelings of jealousy. + +4. In a healthy relationship, she should or would not do anything to give her husband jealousy or vice-versa. If one or the other experiences jealousy, maybe their spouse is doing something that is causing it, even if they have not actually committed adultery. + +Some people are jealous because they are insecure and no matter what their spouse does or how faithful they are they will still feel jealous of very word or action of theirs – they can see winks and smiles in everything the other person does toward people of the opposite sex. In other cases, people who do not take good care of their relationship and of their spouse could be helping them toward improper relationships and even adultery. The lesson here is, take good care of your spouse, be trustworthy, don’t give your spouse any reason to not trust you or become jealous of you. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, the spirit of jealousy in Lucifer led to these six thousand years of pain and death.

Scripture

+> Then He came to the disciples and found them asleep, and said to Peter, "What? Could you not watch with Me one hour? 41 Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." Matthew 26:40-41 + +### Observation + +The night Jesus was arrested was to be memorable in more than one way. Jesus and His disciples had gathered in the upper room to celebrate the Passover, but rather than a “routine” celebration, it had turned into one of the most powerful teaching moments for them. Jesus, their Lord and Master, had bent down to wash His disciples’ feet thus teaching them what true servant-leadership is all about. + +Following the meal, Jesus and His disciples made their way up the Mount of Olives to the garden of Gethsemane. Ellen White describes in beautiful language this scene: In company with His disciples, the Saviour slowly made His way to the garden of Gethsemane. The Passover moon, broad and full, shone from a cloudless sky. The city of pilgrims' tents was hushed into silence. + +Jesus had been earnestly conversing with His disciples and instructing them; but as He neared Gethsemane, He became strangely silent. He had often visited this spot for meditation and prayer; but never with a heart so full of sorrow as upon this night of His last agony. Throughout His life on earth He had walked in the light of God's presence. When in conflict with men who were inspired by the very spirit of Satan, He could say, "He that sent Me is with Me: the Father hath not left Me alone; for I do always those things that please Him." John 8:29. But now He seemed to be shut out from the light of God's sustaining presence. Now He was numbered with the transgressors. The guilt of fallen humanity He must bear. Upon Him who knew no sin must be laid the iniquity of us all. So dreadful does sin appear to Him, so great is the weight of guilt which He must bear, that He is tempted to fear it will shut Him out forever from His Father's love. Feeling how terrible is the wrath of God against transgression, He exclaims, "My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death.” + +As they approached the garden, the disciples had marked the change that came over their Master. Never before had they seen Him so utterly sad and silent. As He proceeded, this strange sadness deepened; yet they dared not question Him as to the cause. His form swayed as if He were about to fall. Upon reaching the garden, the disciples looked anxiously for His usual place of retirement, that their Master might rest. Every step that He now took was with labored effort. He groaned aloud, as if suffering under the pressure of a terrible burden. Twice His companions supported Him, or He would have fallen to the earth. {The Desire of Ages, p. 685} + +Knowing what the disciples would be facing, Jesus went away to pray for them and also encouraged them to spent time in prayer for themselves. While struggling with what was about to happen to Him, Jesus returned to find His disciples sleeping, which is what we read in today’s texts. + +### Application + +I wonder some times what our life and attitude in our marriage would be like if we knew of the challenges and difficulties we would face in the future. As we look back, we can look at those times when things were difficult, when we had conflict that seemed insurmountable, when our children were sick, when we lost a job, or a house, or had a car accident, or had to move, but as we look back we know we survived those times of crisis and are still together. Would we have felt that confident and strong if we had been shown all those things ahead of time? Maybe it is God in His mercy who hasn’t given to us the ability to see our future so we would not be discouraged. + +Jesus knew how important it was to His disciples to spend time in prayer because the events they were about to witness would try their faith and could lead them to give it up, as well as end their life (as it did in Judas’s case). In marriage, God knows everything we will be facing (which we gratefully do not know), and knows how important then it is to us to spend time together, as husbands and wives, in prayer. That’s probably one of the reasons God’s enemy wants to keep us so busy (with school, work and other obligations) and distracted (with TV, computer, sports, etc.) that we don’t find time to pray together. + +Social scientists tell us that it only takes about 21 days to establish a new habit. If you are not spending time praying together as husband and wife, it may seem challenging at first, but once you establish that pattern it will become part of your daily routine. Whether it is first thing in the morning, or the last thing at night, or if you pray together during the day or over the phone, make time each day to pray for each other, for your marriage, for your family, for your children, for your future together, for help during the challenges that may come in the future, and for the future successes and joys. Of course, if you have children it is important for you and for them that you also spend time praying together as a family. That daily habit will help your children incorporate prayer as a part of their daily life and routine. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, thank You that we can spend this time in conversation together as a couple and as a family with You knowing that You are pleased to hear from us and to talk to us. Help us, Father, to maintain this time as sacred as we do other obligations in our life. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/11-november-2025/13-november-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/11-november-2025/13-november-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..a7808c645d --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/11-november-2025/13-november-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Watch and Pray +startDate: 11/13/2025 +endDate: 11/13/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/11-november-2025/14-november-2025/14-november-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/11-november-2025/14-november-2025/14-november-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..7151d2d943 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/11-november-2025/14-november-2025/14-november-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,24 @@ +--- +title: Keeping Your Love Cup Full +date: 11/14/2025 +--- + +_Kay Kuzma_ + +>

Ps. 23:5, 6, NIV. + +Down deep in your heart there's a cup. Not of fine china, silver, or gold, but a cup of feeling and emotion that when filled makes life worth living. I call it the love cup. It measures your level of contentment. In essence, it's your psychological well-being. + +The love I am writing about is not a romantic love, but agape love—a principle, not necessarily devoid of emotion, but not dependent on it either. It is love given with no strings attached, just because the other person exists. When we experience it, endorphins—substances chemically similar to morphine—flow into the brain, producing a sense of security, peace, and calm. One feels good because one feels intrinsically valuable. + +When your cup is running low, you feel unloved, rejected, worthless, and empty—you have nothing to give. A drained cup turns your world negative. Anger, criticism, sarcasm, guilt, and bitterness rush in to fill the void. + +God can enter a life that's filled with hate and selfishness. He can change it. In a sense, that's the meaning of conversion. No one is beyond God's healing power of love. But even though God can do it, that doesn't mean we should leave the filling entirely to Him. The Lord gives us the opportunity to be His entering wedge. People starved for love may first need to experience a little love in action—from fellow human beings. It causes them to realize that their lives are empty. Then we can point them to the Source of complete love. + +If you feel empty, ask God to fill you. He will speedily respond. And seek out others who can be cup-fillers, too. Then when your cup is filling, or full, reach out and begin filling the empty love cups of the unlovable. You may not feel loving toward them, but that doesn't matter. God asks no one to feel loving. He just says to be loving. It's the act of love that is important. Love is something you do.

Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing. Isa. 40:26, NIV. + +I had just left a trying day in the Los Angeles area and decided to drive out across the high desert on my way to Redlands, California. Although I thought that it would be relaxing and quiet, I discovered just the opposite. I was hot, tired, and stressed out, the scenery was disappointing, and the road was much longer than I had remembered. In the depths of my despair I noticed a cloud forming in the east. Shortly I was driving through a most refreshing cloudburst, and then I spotted a rainbow. Contrasted against the black cloud, it could not have been brighter or more beautiful. And just then I knew that it was all OK. That rainbow told me all that I needed to know. God was at the wheel and would guide me through. + +Since then I have developed a game that I play nearly everywhere I go. I look for rainbows. I watch to see where they may be hiding and what the elements are that lend to their creation. Sometimes there are rainbows in the spider webs wet with dew on a late summer morn. At other times rainbows form on the ice that crusts over patches of melted snow.

Scripture

+> Then Peter said to her, "How is it that you have agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out." Acts 5:9 + +### Observation + +Ananias and Sapphira were members of the early Christian Church. The church members were very generous and unselfish. Chapter four of Acts ends with these words describing the church: Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common. 33 And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all. 34 Nor was there anyone among them who lacked; for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold, 35 and laid them at the apostles' feet; and they distributed to each as anyone had need. 36 And Joses, who was also named Barnabas by the apostles (which is translated Son of Encouragement), a Levite of the country of Cyprus, 37 having land, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles' feet. Acts 4:32-37 (NKJV) + +Ananias and Sapphira might ave started off with good intentions in their heart. They probably did have the desire to sell their property and to give the proceeds to the church. But evidently when they realized how much that would mean, probably more than they had anticipated, they decided to give only part of the proceeds. Ananias came first to present what he thought was a sizeable offering only to be confronted by Peter to tell the truth. When he lied, he died. Sapphira then came and was given the opportunity to tell the truth, but she too chose to lie and also died. + +Ellen White describes these events: Ananias and Sapphira grieved the Holy Spirit by yielding to feelings of covetousness. They began to regret their promise and soon lost the sweet influence of the blessing that had warmed their hearts with a desire to do large things in behalf of the cause of Christ. They thought they had been too hasty, that they ought to reconsider their decision. They talked the matter over, and decided not to fulfill their pledge. They saw, however, that those who parted with their possessions to supply the needs of their poorer brethren, were held in high esteem among the believers; and ashamed to have their brethren know that their selfish souls grudged that which they had solemnly dedicated to God, they deliberately decided to sell their property and pretend to give all the proceeds into the general fund, but really to keep a large share for themselves. Thus they would secure their living from the common store and at the same time gain the high esteem of their brethren. (Acts of the Apostles, p. 72) + +While the immediate punishment might seem harsh, God needed to protect the early church from going astray. Again, Ellen White writes: Infinite Wisdom saw that this signal manifestation of the wrath of God was necessary to guard the young church from becoming demoralized. Their numbers were rapidly increasing. The church would have been endangered if, in the rapid increase of converts, men and women had been added who, while professing to serve God, were worshiping mammon. This judgment testified that men cannot deceive God, that He detects the hidden sin of the heart, and that He will not be mocked. It was designed as a warning to the church, to lead them to avoid pretense and hypocrisy, and to beware of robbing God. (AA p.73) + +### Application + +The influence of a spouse can serve as a great blessing or a horrible curse. When one spouse takes step in the direction opposite to God’s will, the consequences can have devastating results for the other spouse, to their children, and to many others. Our first allegiance should lways be to God. The first of the ten commandments states it clearly: I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3 You shall have no other gods before Me” Exodus 20:2-3 (NKJV). Jesus also quoted Old Testament writings to answer the question as to which is the greatest commandment by saying: So he answered and said, "'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,' and 'your neighbor as yourself' " Luke 10:27 (NKJV). Jesus made it clear than in our priority list God should always take first place and then everybody else. Our spouse, our children, our parents, our friends. . .no one should ever take first place before God. + +In marriage, then, it is the individual responsibility to have this order of priorities straight and maintain God first in our lives. If or when one spouse takes steps contrary to this order, the other spouse cannot simply agree and go along with the other. One of those areas where couples could fail is similar to that of Ananias and Sapphira. When it comes to returning God’s tithe to Him and presenting offering to the church to further its ministry, many couples have disagreements and in many cases defraud God. Ellen White writes: “The same sin was often repeated in the afterhistory of the church, and it is committed by many in our time; but though not attended with the visible manifestation of God's displeasure, it is no less heinous in His sight now than in the apostles' time. The warning has been given, God has clearly manifested His abhorrence of this sin, and all who pursue a similar course of action may be sure that they are destroying their own souls. . . .”(Christian Service, p. 312). + +The spouses should agree early in their marriage, in fact before their marriage, what portion of their finances belongs to God and what part they will give to the church, and then both should encourage each other to be faithful to that commitment. If the time comes when one chooses to go back on that commitment, the other should not simply go along but they should remain faithful to God. By doing so, not only are they keeping their individual commitment of generosity and obedience to God, thus protecting their eternal salvation, but they would also be serving as an example to their spouse that they may repent and return to their walk with God. Agreeing in what is wrong could spell out devastation and death not just to one of the spouses but to both, to their marriage and ultimately to their children. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, help us to remain faithful and true to You first and always, and may we help each other, as spouses, to keep You first in each other’s life for each other’s sake and for the sake of our children and others. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/11-november-2025/20-november-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/11-november-2025/20-november-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..a8624ac07f --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/11-november-2025/20-november-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: A Bad Agreement in Marriage +startDate: 11/20/2025 +endDate: 11/20/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/11-november-2025/21-november-2025/21-november-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/11-november-2025/21-november-2025/21-november-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..c9ed596f31 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/11-november-2025/21-november-2025/21-november-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,28 @@ +--- +title: Are You a Ten-talent Cook? +date: 11/21/2025 +--- + +_Ellen G.

Scripture

+> (1 Sam 17:45-47 NKJV) Then David said to the Philistine, "You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. {46} "This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. {47} "Then all this assembly shall know that the LORD does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord's, and He will give you into our hands." + +### Observation + +Goliath, the Philistine giant, taunted the Israelites and their God. David, who had come to bring some food for his brothers accepted Goliath’s challenge. Both sides of the battle field were drawn and watched as the two contenders came face to face: on the one side Goliath, a large man with great experience in battle; on the other, young shepherd David. Goliath, presumptuous and arrogant, threatened David, and being self-confident, he took his helmet off. David, whose faith was child-like, relied not on the king’s armor by on God’s power to defeat this giant. David used what he was skilled at and what was at hand – a sling and five smooth stones, but all he needed was one which found it’s target on the head of the giant who fell down and was decapitated by David. + +### Application + +We not have to battle a Goliath, but during these times of economic uncertainties, high unemployment, etc., just surviving seems like we’re fighting an invincible giant. I have some suggestions that could help you, if you apply them to your personal and family finances: + +**1. Transfer Ownership of Everything to God.** + +All things that we have belong to God; we are the stewards! Nothing really belonged to us. Our house, cars, clothing, children, and jobs were all gifts from a loving father and we were simply stewards of those gifts. A steward knows that his responsibility is to care for the possessions of the owner. He never sees them as his own. God gives to us not so we can possess, keep, and hoard them, but so that we can be vessels and pipelines of His blessing to others. When we are trustworthy, it makes it possible for Him to bless us even more. His ownership has a single goal: to use all of His resources to be a blessing to His children. + +**2. Tithe and Give Offerings Joyously.** + +You don't have to understand all about how tithing works; you just need to know that it does. Read 2 Corinthians 9:6-8. God "prefers" our giving and tithing to be accompanied by which characteristic? + +**3. Work Hard.** + +God intended us to learn this important value of character. According to God's plan for the family, we are to earn our bread by the toil and sweat of our brow. Work is satisfying, molds character, and develops gratitude, appreciation, and value. + +**4. Make a Realistic Budget and Keep Accurate Records.** + +The culprit in family finance problems is not the big-ticket items. It is the steady drip, drip, drip of spending on little purchases that no one tracks. You hit the ATM machine all weekend and end up broke on Monday with no idea where the money went. The absence of an accurate record of spending keeps couples from making good financial decisions. + +**5. Get out from under the Bondage of Debt.** + +Your attitude toward money will make a huge difference in the success or failure of your family. A familiar phrase from wedding ceremonies, '"Til death us do part," has tragically become, "Til debt us do part!" If you have credit card bills which have built up to thousands of dollars, and you no longer even have the disposable items that created the debt, that is the bondage debt about which we speak. If the item for which you went into debt does not provide collateral that is worth more than the indebtedness held against it, you have a problem in the making. To get out of debt, follow these principles: + +- Pay Your Bills. +- Get Help. +- Change Your Lifestyle. + +May you be victorious as you battle the economic giant that threaten to consume us and our family. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, everything there is belongs to You and yet You give us so much of it for our benefit.

Strong families focus on the strengths of each other, not the faults. +3. **Time together**: Healthy families enjoy being together. Work together, play together, and enjoy leisure times together. Family members may be busy, but they don’t let jobs, school, or personal hobbies steal family time. +4. **Communication**: To understand each other a family has to be willing to invest the time necessary to share their feelings and opinions. Each day you are a new person. Without sharing those experiences with each other, family members can soon become strangers. +5. **Religion**: Sharing a religious faith and having similar religious values and standards is extremely important. Worshipping together is a bonding experience. But most important is a commitment to God, the foundation of the family. +6. **Play and a sense of humor**: Happy families have fun together; they play together; they laugh together. Having a sense of humor during troublesome moments is like pouring oil on restless water. It defuses the tension and has an immediate calming effect. +7. **Sharing responsibilities and roles**: If family members will do whatever is necessary to meet each other’s needs, even if the task doesn’t happen to be on their priority list, everyone is happier. Be flexible and responsible. +8. **Common interests and goals**: The more a family has in common, the more its members tend to do together. Having similar interests and getting behind common goals gives the family something to look forward to, to plan, and to experience together. +9. **Service to others**: Just as a pond grows stagnant if it has no outlet, so does a family.

Scripture

+> At the command of the Lord they remained encamped, and at the command of the Lord they journeyed; they kept the charge of the Lord, at the command of the Lord by the hand of Moses. (Numbers 9:23 NKJV) + +### Observation + +This is one of the most precious promises from God - that He would be with the Israelites, His people, during their travels. At night, the pillar of fire would tells them He was with them and was their light, and during the day the pillar of cloud would be with them and be their shade. The Israelites, at the same time, would only move when God wanted them to move, and they would remain in a place as long as He wanted them to remain in that place. This arrangement provided them comfort and courage in God, and also an opportunity for them to demonstrate their obedience and trust in Him. + +### Application + +I have pondered about this text many times because of the work He chose for us in pastoral and educational ministry. We have moved so many times and to so many different locations – from the Southwestern cities of Oklahoma City and Muskogee, in Oklahoma, to the eastern United States in New Jersey, Delaware, and Virginia, to the Midwest in Wisconsin and Minnesota, and with nearly two decades before we retire who knows what other places He has in store for us. As a student returning from California for a summer youth pastor program, I remember driving through Oklahoma when the sun was just setting over the western horizon, a huge ball of fire as I never had seen before, never imagining that one day, after college, we would be working in that state. I remember driving from Columbia Union College to New York City and thinking to myself that I wouldn’t want to live in New Jersey (at least northern, industrial Jersey), and yet we spent some of the best four years in our lives in that state. Or I remember while attending Andrews University Theological Seminary we drove to Racine, Wisconsin, to visit some friends, and never imagine that one day, many years later, we would work and live there for the best seven years of our ministry. While in Wisconsin we drove to Minneapolis to catch a Yankees-Twins game, and the thought never even crossed our mind that one day we would live in that same area. + +As I reflect on these experiences, I can’t help but wonder what God has in store for us next. I write these words in Portland, Oregon, where we are making two presentations. Yesterday we drove to Washington, just across the river, and Pam and I wondered if one day we might be out here, or in the south, where the warmth would be a welcome experience to cold-natured Pam, or out west, or the northeast, or who knows where. . . only God. And that’s what we marvel at the most, knowing that no matter where we are, if God takes us there, that is home, and He will take care of us. As long as we follow Him and do His will for our lives, we will be blessed and happiest.

Scripture

+> To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: Ecclesiastes 3:1 + +### Observation + +**_Season_.** Literally, “an appointed time,” from a root meaning “to determine,” “to decree.” A season is therefore not merely a convenient time, but a decreed time. God has ordained certain seasons for the various natural phenomena (see Lam. 3:37; cf. James 4:15). + +_**Time**_. From a common Hebrew word for “time,” often signifying the beginning of a period of time. + +_**Purpose**_. From a Hebrew word whose root means “to take delight in,” “to have pleasure in.” The noun, therefore, basically means, “that in which one takes delight,” a vocation or an avocation. This same noun is translated “pleasure” in Isa. 58:3, 13; Mal. 1:10, and “delight” in Ps. 1:2; 16:3. [The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, Volume 3. 1977 (F. D. Nichol, Ed.) (1073). Review and Herald Publishing Association.] + +### Application + +Dr. Scott Stanley, marriage researcher from the University of Colorado in Denver, speaks about the changes that have occurred in the last seventy or so years. Before the 1960’s, the normal order of events for most people was that they would date, then get married, and then have sex. When the 1960’s came, and with the sex liberation, the order of things changed so that many would date, then have sex, and then got married. In the late 1990’s and into the beginning of the 21st century there’s a new pattern that is being set by many couples; they now meet and have sex, from that experience they decide if they want to date, and then they either choose to live together or proceed to marry each other. + +While there is no such thing as “dating” in the Bible, God’s word reserves sexual intimacy for marriage – not before, and not outside the boundaries of this sacred union. Even the Song of Solomon, a beautiful description of how the married relationship, describes the order of events as God planned for a couple. Three times (SS 2:7, 3:5, 8:4), Shulamith, the bride, expresses her advice to her young friends, “do not stir up or awaken love until the appropriate time” (Holman Christian Standard Bible) + +When God says there is an appropriate time for everything He also means for sexual intimacy. Rushing to have sex before marriage makes the relationship more complicated, clouds the judgment, and often does not help the couple to make the correct decisions concerning their individual future, much less their future as a couple. In fact, often premarital sex leads to, as Stanley calls it, “sliding into cohabitation,” by which he means that most cohabiting couples don’t sit down to talk about the reasons they have for moving in together but simply slide into that arrangement a little at a time. Unfortunately, much research shows that people in cohabiting relationships often don’t marry the person they are living with, many experience higher levels of physical abuse than married couples, and they have a much higher probability of divorce if they choose to marry. + +Follow the order of events prescribed in the Bible.

Romans 8:1 + +### Observation + +**_No condemnation._** The good news of the gospel is that Christ came to condemn sin, not sinners (John 3:17; Rom. 8:3). To those who believe and accept the generous provisions of the gospel and who in faith commit themselves to lives of loving obedience, Christ offers justification and freedom. There may yet be deficiencies in the believer’s character, but “when it is in the heart to obey God, when efforts are put forth to this end, Jesus accepts this disposition and effort as man’s best service, and He makes up for the deficiency with His own divine merit” (EGW ST June 16, 1890).

It’s worth reviewing it today: + +But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. Now early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people came to Him; and He sat down and taught them. Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst, they said to Him, "Teacher, this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses, in the law, commanded us that such should be stoned. But what do You say?" This they said, testing Him, that they might have something of which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, as though He did not hear. So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first." And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, "Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?" She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said to her, "Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more." John 8:1-11 (NKJV) + +The Jewish law made it clear that both the man and the woman who were caught in the act of committing adultery were to be stoned. In this case, only the woman was brought to Jesus. It’s clear that it was a set up on their part so they could trap Jesus with His own words. Regardless, when they could not, with a clear conscience, stone her, Jesus pronounced those precious words, “Neither do I condemn you.” Since then, those words still bring us comfort and hope. The apostle Paul also echoed the same sentiment with the words of our Scriptural passage for today (Romans 8:1), so that we could live with the assurance that it is not just the woman caught in the act of committing adultery whom Jesus did not condemn but also every one of us, while sinners to the core, but in Jesus forgiven and not condemned. + +If Jesus, in His purity, does not condemn us, how can we, fallible humans that we are, pretend to be more righteous than our spouse or children or parents and condemn them when they have failed, or even failed us?

Christ is the center of the plan of salvation and the source of every Christian grace. It is He who calls fallen men out of the dismal darkness of sin and into the glorious light of the gospel. It is He who cleanses them from their previous life of sin and qualifies them to become sons and daughters of God. It is He who justifies them by His grace, by virtue of His atonement on Calvary.

We are not only to lay the “foundation of repentance from dead works” but are to “go on unto perfection” (see on ch. 6:1). We are to “grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:18). We are to gain victory after victory over our besetting sins (see on Heb. 12:1) and to “grow up into him [Christ] in all things” (Eph. 4:15). Our characters are to be “transformed” by the renewing of our minds (Rom. 12:2). This is the work of the indwelling Christ (Gal. 2:20) as the “perfecter” of faith. This is the work of sanctification.

+> Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married; for he had married an Ethiopian woman. (Numbers 12:1 NKJV) + +### Observation + +If we were to read the second verse isolated from the first, we might wonder if Aaron and Miriam’s complaints may have some justification – although there really is no justification for jealousy directed toward someone whom the Lord has chosen for a leadership position! Here’s a very concise explanation of what all went on (From the SDABC): “Upon rejoining Moses at Mt. Sinai (see on Ex. 4:25 and 18:2), Zipporah had observed the heavy burdens borne by her husband and expressed to Jethro her fears for his well-being. Thereupon Jethro counseled Moses to select others to share the responsibilities of administration with him. When Moses acted upon this counsel without first consulting Miriam and Aaron, they became jealous of him and blamed Zipporah for what they considered Moses’ neglect of them (see PP 383). The fact that Zipporah was a Midianite, though a worshiper of the true God, was used by Miriam and Aaron merely as an excuse for rebelling against the authority of Moses. He did not violate the principle of non-marriage with the heathen when he took her to wife, as they apparently claimed.” + +### Application + +We can make many applications of this story to other situations. Among them, jealousy of others in leadership positions is forbidden by God. If He has chosen them instead of us, who are we to question Him or them? Instead, the Bible counsels us to pray for them that have that responsibility. + +From the relational point of view, Aaron and Miriam were evidently jealous of Zipporah, Moses’ wife. We can draw several lessons for us today: + +1. Once a brother or sister marries someone, we should find ways to embrace them and make them feel welcome. + +2. We should respect the relationship and decisions that our siblings make with their own spouse as much as we wish to be respected when we and our spouse make decisions. I have see many families suffer greatly because somebody got involved in somebody else’s life. We may not like or agree with other family member’s decisions, but as long as their decisions do not hurt or interfere with our own family or decisions, we should stay out of their life. + +3. Some cultures are more similar than others, and marriage between them may not be problematic. The more different the cultures are, the more difficulties the couple and families may encounter. Marriage is a challenging thing regardless of who enters into this relationship, and the more the couple has in common the stronger the relationship will be. The more differences among them, the more challenges they will likely face. While success in inter-cultural relationships is not impossible and many couples have been very successful and happy, many others have encountered insurmountable challenges which have caused or contributed to the demise of their relationship. I speak from experience since I was born and brought up in Colombia, South America, and my wife was born and raised in Virginia. We were raised differently, in different size families, a different language, even a different faith. However, by the time we met and eventually married, our commitment to God and to each other, and the similarities we shared were greater than the differences we had. Even so, we have had challenges from time to time and in certain places due to our cultural differences. Praise God, however, that we have overcome those differences and we remain committed and in love after 3 years of dating and more than 27 years of marriage. + +So, look for areas where you are similar and build on those, and be aware of the possible challenges to you as a couple, to your families of origin, and to your children that your relationship may bring about. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, we all came from the same Creator’s hand, but in the last six thousand years sin has divided us and made us all different. Not only that, but where and how we were raised has made us different. And now, as we enter into romantic and marital relationships, all those differences present us with challenges that threaten to separate us and destroy our families. Father, help us to find more things in common than things to divide us, and help us to stay committed to each other and to You, until no breath remain in us, or until Jesus returns for us. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/02-december-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/02-december-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..4098816134 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/02-december-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: The Challenges of Inter-cultural Marriages +startDate: 12/02/2025 +endDate: 12/02/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/03-december-2025/03-december-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/03-december-2025/03-december-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..9be088ff6b --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/03-december-2025/03-december-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,30 @@ +--- +title: In Quietness and Confidence +date: 12/03/2025 +--- + +_Pamela Consuegra, PhD_ + +>

When was the last time that you can honestly say that you felt completely rested? And yet, Jesus calls us to come apart with Him and in quietness receive the rest that He has promised. But look at the end of this verse in scripture. It goes on to state, "But you would not." If something has to be pushed aside in our schedules, time with Him is usually the first thing to go. After all, look at the to-do list! How can you omit the meals that need to be prepared and served, the laundry that needs to be washed, put in the dryer, folded, and put away? And, how can you eliminate the trip to the doctor for a check-up, dental visits, or grocery store runs? + +The excuses are endless. + +Perhaps one of the biggest reasons that we fail to spend some quiet time with Jesus is because we can't seem to carve out big blocks of time. Who said it had to be big blocks of time? Why not start small. Even a few quiet moments spent intentionally and consistently every day will reap big rewards. And, fit it in wherever you can. Try the morning meditations, mid-day minutes, or moon-lit moments. The key is to spend some intentional time every day in quiet reflection with Jesus. + +"In quietness and confidence shall be your strength." When was the last time that you tried it? Take Jesus at His word. Test Him. Perhaps those few minutes alone with Him will stretch all the other hours in your day. Perhaps you will indeed find renewed strength and energy to face whatever comes your way during the day. And, don't be surprised to see that those few moments or minutes stretch so that you find them continuing even as you bathe your baby, rock him to sleep, prepare a meal, or go on your errands. + +Your strength for today is promised.

After the Son had washed away our sins, he sat down at the right side of the glorious God in heaven. Hebrews 1:3 (CEV) + +### Observation + +**_Upholding_**. Gr. pher, “to bear,” “to carry,” “to bear along,” “to bear up.” Here there may be the added meaning of movement, purpose, guidance; proceeding with definite intent. Christ is the one who is upholding all things in the entire universe and who keeps the heavenly bodies in their appointed paths. Compare the phrase, “by him all things consist,” that is, hold together (Col. 1:17). Pher is more comprehensive than our English word “consist,” since it embraces the concept of purposeful working, of planning. This definition changes the concept from that of a mere power sustaining the physical universe to that of an intelligent Being who has a plan and is in the process of carrying it out. [The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, Volume 7. 1980 (F. D. Nichol, Ed.) (397).

You fell so helpless to do anything to change its course. You don’t want your marriage to come to an end, but seem totally unable to do anything about it. The pain feels unbearable, the stress overwhelming, the sadness crushing. You didn’t set out to a married life that would end in divorce. You started, like almost every other couple, with dreams of a lifetime of love and happiness together, but now you wonder if you can make it one more day together. + +Have I painted a dreadful picture? Sadly, many have come to me with these feelings, at the end of their rope, looking for a life jacket before they drown. Paul tells us some wonderful news: Jesus holds the universe together! Because we are part of His universe, He too can hold our marriage together. Just as He brought healing to the blind, the sick, and the lame, He can bring healing to our relationship. Just as He brought the dead back to life, He too can bring our dead marriage back to life and make it vibrant and exciting again. Commit yourself anew to Him today. Commit your marriage to Him again today. Redouble your prayers for your spouse, for your relationship. And then take the next, crucially important step: Act lovingly toward your spouse, in fact, act toward them as if you were going through the most wonderful time in your relationship. And then, expect that Jesus will hold your marriage together. He holds the universe together, can’t He hold your marriage together, too? + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, As we struggle to hold our marriage together, we commit ourselves and our relationship to you.

Scripture

+> Jesus understands every weakness of ours, because he was tempted in every way that we are. But he did not sin! So whenever we are in need, we should come bravely before the throne of our merciful God. There we will be treated with undeserved kindness, and we will find help. Hebrews 4:15-16 (CEV) + +### Observation + +_**cannot be touched with the feeling of**_—Greek, “cannot sympathize with our infirmities”: our weaknesses, physical and moral (not sin, but liability to its assaults). He, though sinless, can sympathize with us sinners; His understanding more acutely perceived the forms of temptation than we who are weak can; His will repelled them as instantaneously as the fire does the drop of water cast into it. He, therefore, experimentally knew what power was needed to overcome temptations. He is capable of sympathizing, for He was at the same time tempted without sin, and yet truly tempted [BENGEL]. In Him alone we have an example suited to men of every character and under all circumstances. In sympathy He adapts himself to each, as if He had not merely taken on Him man’s nature in general, but also the peculiar nature of that single individual. [Jamieson, R., Fausset, A. R., & Brown, D. (1997). Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (Heb 4:15). Oak Harbor, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc.] + +### Application + +I know that people mean well when they tell someone who has lost a loved one words like “I know how you feel.” What they mean is that they too have experienced a loss at some point in time and therefore they know what that experience is like. While they intend well by saying something that will help the other person feel better, the reality is that very few words, if any, will make a person in that situation feel better about their loss. + +For any of us on the receiving end of such sentiments, we smile, we express appreciation, and deep inside we wish there was an answer to our pain, or that there was someone who was truly experiencing what we do and yet could remove our pain. At the same time, we sure don’t want the memories of our loved one gone and fear that if the pain goes away so will those memories. One of the things that parents who have lost children fear the most is that their children will be forgotten. + +Our text for today reminds us that Jesus is the only one who can truly sympathize with us. In other words, He is the only one who can truly feel what we do. Now, while we know and understand that concept, it’s much easier to accept it and adopt it when things in life are going well.

Scripture

+> For You cast me into the deep, Into the heart of the seas, And the floods surrounded me; All Your billows and Your waves passed over me. Jonah 2:3 + +### Observation + +**_Salvation is of the LORD._** The core of this prayer celebrates God’s miraculous intervention to rescue Jonah by a fish. At the end of Jonah’s prayer God spoke to the fish, which saved Jonah from drowning and vomited him up. Creatures obey the voice of God. Humans are uniquely endowed with the prerogative to say no. [Andrews Study Bible Notes. 2010 (J. L. Dybdahl, Ed.) (1179). Berrien Springs, MI: Andrews University Press.] + +### Application + +Jonah’s story is more interesting than any novel, TV show, or movie ever made. It has all the drama, adventure, passion, and excitement of a modern blockbuster. Within just a few chapters, a couple of pages, we read the life-or-death struggle of a very reluctant ministry worker and how God resolved his personal, spiritual struggle and at the same time provided the only lifeline to a people doomed to die. + +Our passage for consideration is part of Jonah’s prayer which he uttered inside the fish God provided to save him from drowning in the stormy sea. That experience must have been frightening, and a little sickening. First he is thrown out into the raging waters, at his own suggestion. I can imagine what it must have been like, plunging into the dark, angry ocean, gasping for fresh air and instead feeling his mouth and lungs begin to fill with salty sea water, and then to feel suddenly swallowed by a large fish. We don’t know whether the fish was just big enough for Jonah to fit inside his digestive track or even larger, as portrayed in children’s movies, for him to move around. Either way, the stench of gastric juices, the smell, the darkness, the pressure on the ears as the fish dove into deeper, calmer waters, the sounds of a large beating heart. . . all strange, frightening sounds and a foreign environment for any person. + +Jonah was obviously not unconscious during this entire ordeal. He might have slept some of the time from sheer exhaustion, but while he was awake he had plenty of time to consider his situation, his life, and his failures. When he finally realized what he had done, his rebellion and disobedience, he also came to recognize his love and dependence on God, and that if God had rejected him he would not just be inside the fish’s belly, he would have already been digested by it. So he prays, a prayer of adoration, a prayer of Thanksgiving, and a prayer of surrender. God’s grace, His billows and waves, passed over Jonah. . . God baptized him, if you please, and now God brings him out of the belly, not of his mother but of the fish, so he can enjoy a new life and a new chance at fulfilling the mission God called to. + +We don’t have to go through all that drama to experience God’s love and forgiveness. Right now, wherever we are, we can stop and allow the billows and waves of God’s love and forgiveness to cover us and our families and to renew in us His call to mission, as individual and as a family. He is the God of a second chance. . . ask for it right now. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, may Your love and forgiveness wash our me and over my family so that we may be renewed by Your spirit and go on to fulfill Your mission for us. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/06-december-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/06-december-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..8909059d8b --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/06-december-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: God Covers +startDate: 12/06/2025 +endDate: 12/06/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/07-december-2025/07-december-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/07-december-2025/07-december-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..b9fd0cc2a6 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/07-december-2025/07-december-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,36 @@ +--- +title: I Lay Me Down +date: 12/07/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

David represents himself as in danger of attack at any moment during the night, hunted and cursed by his enemies, nevertheless able to lie down in peace and sleep, so great was his trust in God.

John Gottman (Why Marriages Succeed or Fail. . . and How You can Make Yours Last. Simon & Schuster:New York. 1994) makes a few observations about criticism and complaints: “Criticism involves attacking someone’s personality or character – rather than a specific behavior – usually with blame. . . As a general rule, a criticism entails blaming, making a personal attack or an accusation, while a complaint is a negative comment about something you wish were otherwise. To oversimplify, complaints could easily begin with the word I, and criticism with the word you. . . A criticism is also more likely than a complaint to make your partner defensive. . . One common type of criticism is to bring up a long list of complaints. I call this “kitchen sinking” because you throw in every conceivable negative thing you can think of. . . Unlike complaints, criticisms also tend to be generalizations. A telltale sign that you’ve slipped from complaining to criticizing is if global phrases + +If you have a complaint, begin by using “I” instead of “you” and simply express one specific item, not a long list of past and present situations.

Honesty is like sharing a secret with someone you love by taking their lips for the ear (like Cyrano de Bergerac).

Acts 20:35 (NKJV) We believe the principle behind these words and have even seen it practice when we gather things or food to give to those in need and how good it makes us feel to do so. And yet, sometimes we forget that it is not simply giving things and food to the needy where the principle of generosity should be applied but in our relationship with our spouse. + +In marital relationships, after the honeymoon period ends, there’s a period of accommodation during which each spouse tries in some way to bring their newly formed family more in line to the family in which they grew up.

And what He promises is a greater gift in return. If both spouses aim to be generous with each other, the return will be beyond measure and will continue with them for as long as they are together and continue to give generously to one another. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, help us to give generously of ourselves like You gave generously to us. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/11-december-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/11-december-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..21c0cbaaa9 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/11-december-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Look to Give, not to Get +startDate: 12/11/2025 +endDate: 12/11/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/12-december-2025/12-december-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/12-december-2025/12-december-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..80ebd4f4cd --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/12-december-2025/12-december-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,34 @@ +--- +title: A Common Goal +date: 12/12/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

At the same time, it means that we should be careful to not be overbearing with our own thoughts, actions, and words, but rather be careful that our thoughts and actions don’t cause harm to our spouse. + +_2. Be considerate of one another._ This reflects the words of Paul that Love does not demand its own way (1 Cor 13:5-6). Loving spouses don’t want their way all the time but would rather think of what the other person may like, need, or want. + +_3. Cultivate a life in common._ One of the many advantages of marriage is that the couple looks after the well-being of the family. What this means is that they plan together for their future, they save money so that they may be able to retire one day, they buy a house or a car by consulting with each other, they encourage each other to go to the doctor because they want to make sure their spouse has good health. . . they want their spouse to be alive and well for the long run. + +Learn and practice these three principles in your marriage daily and for a lifetime. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, help us to live by these principles that our marriage be stronger and healthier each day. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/12-december-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/12-december-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..a7fcaa4e50 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/12-december-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: A Common Goal +startDate: 12/12/2025 +endDate: 12/12/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/13-december-2025/13-december-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/13-december-2025/13-december-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..ab8a525115 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/13-december-2025/13-december-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,30 @@ +--- +title: Energy to Serve +date: 12/13/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> Rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering, persevere in prayer. Romans 12:12 (NRSV) + +### Observation + +**_Rejoicing in hope_.** The three brief injunctions in this verse seem even more pointed when the word order of the Greek is retained: “In hope rejoicing, in tribulation enduring, in prayer persevering.” Paul has already commended the spirit of cheerfulness (v. 8). In ch. 5:2 he spoke of the believer’s rejoicing “in hope of the glory of God.” This Christian hope, which is the cause of such cheerfulness, has been explained in ch. 8:20–25. This hope enables the Christian to look beyond the darkness and trouble of the present moment to the things that are unseen and eternal (2 Cor. 4:17, 18). The fact that hope, like so many of the Christian virtues, springs from the basic virtue of love is indicated by 1 Cor. 13:7, love “hopeth all things.” [The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, Volume 6. 1980 (F. D. Nichol, Ed.) (621). Review and Herald Publishing Association.] + +### Application + +Chapter 12 of the book of Romans is rich in guidance and instruction from the apostle Paul to the members of the church in Rome and to all of us. Paul probably understood the coming challenges that the Christian church, and in particular the members of this church would face. To prepare them for the upcoming persecution and the falling away of the faith, Paul tells them to rejoice, be patient, and pray. + +The three bits of advice Paul wrote to the Roman believers can be so practical and helpful in marriage. As good as a relationship may be, there will be ups and downs, there will be good and bad days, and there will be challenges that come to interrupt the peace and calm we enjoy. Some may even come to the place where they feel it’s best to call it quits, separate, or even divorce. They would rather take the “easy” exit than do the hard work of staying in their relationship and making it work. + +Consider the three pieces of advice from Paul: + +_**1. Rejoice in Hope.**_ Recent research shows that couples that report unhappiness in their relationship and who are considering divorce, when they choose to remain together, within five years report a higher level of satisfaction than they did during those days when they had considered ending their marriage. What this tells us is that there is hope, if we only choose to remain together and fight for our marriage, so rejoice in that hope. + +_**2. Be Patient in Suffering.**_ Patience, in the original Greek of the New Testament, is not simply sitting passively waiting for good things to happen. Patience is more like the tenacity you need in the midst of strong winds, holding on with all your might to a light pole. You don’t just sit there praying the winds will cease, you hang on for dear life. Patience in the suffering that may come to your marriage means hanging on to the relationship until the dark days pass. + +_**3. Persevere in Prayer.**_ During the darkest hours of our lives, whatever causes that darkness, we can’t cease from praying, we don’t give up praying, we don’t lose our hold on God’s hand. It is during those most challenging days that we hang on to Him even more tenaciously. + +Take these three words of Paul to heart, and see your relationship survive and thrive. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, bless us, during the challenging days, that we may see the hope beyond the darkness until we experience the sunshine of love and peace in our marriage. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/14-december-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/14-december-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..bff3571051 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/14-december-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Have Hope, Be Patient, and Pray +startDate: 12/14/2025 +endDate: 12/14/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/15-december-2025/15-december-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/15-december-2025/15-december-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..021ee96eb6 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/15-december-2025/15-december-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,28 @@ +--- +title: The Solution for Desire? +date: 12/15/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

At first sight Paul seems to recommend marriage as a way to handle sexual desire. If you are burning with sexual desire, it seems to dictate, then marry so all your sexual needs will be met. But I’m not sure that’s what Paul in mind. Should that be the main reason you marry someone? So that you can have your sexual desires met? + +I think what Paul is advocating is sexual purity. We find examples of people in the Bible who didn’t simply give in to their sexual needs but who chose to remain sexually pure as a way to honor God. One of the first and most prominent such examples is Joseph, the son of Jacob. While a slave, serving in Potiphar’s house, he was repeatedly tempted by his master’s wife to have sexual relations with her. His response is exemplary and one for which he is well remembered, “How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?” (Genesis 39:9 NKJV). + +So Paul is not advocating marriage as a way to avoid sexual temptation or sexual immorality. Instead, what Paul is advocating is sexual purity among those who are not married, but also for those who are married.

+> (Num 16:31-33 NKJV) Now it came to pass, as he finished speaking all these words, that the ground split apart under them, {32} and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with their households and all the men with Korah, with all their goods. {33} So they and all those with them went down alive into the pit; the earth closed over them, and they perished from among the assembly. + +### Observation + +Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, leaders among the Israelites, moved from complaining against and questioning Moses’ leadership, to outright rebellion against him, and thus against God. Even when called to appear before God at the tabernacle, they refused. So Moses told the entire congregation to convene, but also told the people to separate from these three men and their families. Than Moses told them that if these men died of natural causes, then everyone should know that God had not called Moses, but that if they died in an unusual way, like being swallowed by the earth, then the people should know that God had chosen Moses. No sooner had he said these words than the earth opened up and swallowed these men, their families, and their possessions. + +### Application + +We might wonder at times why these men’s families were killed with them. It is evident that their rebellion had spread to their own families, and therefore they too must be destroyed. Right after this event, the people who survived turned against Moses and Aaron and accused them of killing Korah, Dathan, and Abiram and their families. They were accused unfairly by those who survived, imagine if these men’s families had been left alive, their rebellion would have remained alive as well. + +What we need to learn from this experience is that what we say and/or do has a powerful influence on our children and other relatives, particularly if we have a leadership position.

Literally, “are being changed.” The plan of redemption aims to restore the image of God in man (Rom. 8:29; 1 John 3:2), a transformation that comes about by contemplating Christ (Rom. 12:2; Gal. 4:19). The contemplation of the image of Christ acts upon the moral and spiritual nature as the presence of God did upon the face of Moses. The humblest Christian who constantly looks to Christ as his Redeemer will reflect in his own life something of the glory of Christ. If he faithfully continues to do so, he will go on “from glory to glory” in his personal Christian experience (see 2 Peter 1:5–7). + +_**From glory to glory.**_ This transformation is progressive. It advances from one stage of glory to another. Our spiritual assimilation of Christ comes through His glory and results in a reflection of glory like unto His.

Even scientists have concluded that indeed people begin to resemble the person to whom they are married for a long time. Whether that is true, or just our impression, I’m not quite sure, but even if people don’t look alike, they surely act alike, talk alike, and think alike. It’s as if being married to a person for so many years changes us to the point that we adopt many of their mannerisms, words, and ideas. + +That’s what happened to Jesus’ disciples, after spending just a little over three years with Him. People could recognize that peter had changed and even spoke like Jesus. That’s why it is important for us to also spend time with Jesus, so that we can be changed daily to resemble Him more each day. + +Here’s where this idea becomes more important. Instead of trying to change our spouse so that they can be what we would like them to be, or become the person we feel they should become, we should try to emulate Jesus and be the person He wants us to be. At the same time, instead of trying to change our spouse, why not let Jesus change them. . . He knows best. The interesting thing is that when we both allow Jesus to change us, individually, not only do we resemble Him more but we’re also drawn closer to each other; both are the best outcomes we could wish for. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, change me from within that I may resemble your Son, especially to my spouse. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/17-december-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/17-december-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..adb5242787 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/17-december-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: A Gradual Change +startDate: 12/17/2025 +endDate: 12/17/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/18-december-2025/18-december-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/18-december-2025/18-december-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..62b6b0ed84 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/18-december-2025/18-december-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,28 @@ +--- +title: He is so Close! +date: 12/18/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> So that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; 28 for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, 'For we are also His offspring.' Acts 17:27-28 + +### Observation + +**_Not far._** The whole clause is very emphatic, and literally reads: “And yet He is not far from each one of us.” There is no doubt expressed in Paul’s words; he is rather making a positive statement of fact. The Lord is near to men, even when they do not acknowledge Him. This makes it a comparatively simple matter for men to find God, for He is by their side, awaiting their awakening and aiding their efforts to discover Him. God can and does reveal Himself according to the measure of zeal and earnestness shown by those who seek Him. At this point the Stoics would see parallels between their own teaching and Paul’s thinking, but the Epicureans would be repelled, for the apostle’s words constituted an attack on the basic atheism of their system. + +_**28. In him we live.**_ The whole clause literally reads: “In [or “by”] Him we are living, and are being moved, and are existing.” The words of the apostle express the thought that not merely our initial dependence is on the Creator, but that all our activities—physical, mental, and spiritual—are derived from Him. In the teaching of Paul the personality of the omnipotent, omniscient God is not merged, as is the God of the pantheist, in the impersonal Soul of the world, but stands forth with awful distinctness in the character of Creator and Sustainer of all life. “Through the agencies of nature, God is working, day by day, hour by hour, moment by moment, to keep us alive, to build up and restore us… The power working through these agencies is the power of God” (MH 112, 113). [The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, Volume 6. 1980 (F. D. Nichol, Ed.) (353). Review and Herald Publishing Association.] + +### Application + +Sometimes God feels so far away, it is as if He were nowhere near us, just when we need Him most. If it’s any consolation, even Jesus felt that way once while hanging from the cross at Calvary. With the weight of the sins of the world on His shoulders, it seemed to Jesus as if He had been abandoned by His own Father with Whom He had shared eternity. And maybe that scene gives us an indication why we feel so far away from God; sin makes us feel far from Him who is so close to us! + +That’s why these words from the Apostle Paul, declared to the Greek philosophers, are so encouraging. He wasn’t reminding some Christians that God us near to us; He was telling those who didn’t even know or believe in God. What that tells me is that God is near each of us even when we reject Him, deny Him, or even rebel against Him. He reminds of His presence with words such as, “I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Heb. 13:5), or “I am with you always, even unto the end of the world” (Mat. 28:20 ASV). + +On those days when we feel alone, abandoned by God, remind yourself of these words and be encouraged by knowing that God is very close to you and your family, that He will never leave us, that He will be with us every step of the way until the end of this race. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, thank You for being with us, very near to us, even when we don’t feel close to You.

John 4:13-14 + +### Observation + +**_thirst again… never thirst,_** &c.—The contrast here is fundamental and all comprehensive. “This water” plainly means “this natural water and all satisfactions of a like earthly and perishable nature.” Coming to us from without, and reaching only the superficial parts of our nature, they are soon spent, and need to be anew supplied as much as if we had never experienced them before, while the deeper wants of our being are not reached by them at all; whereas the “water” that Christ gives—spiritual life—is struck out of the very depths of our being, making the soul not a cistern, for holding water poured into it from without, but a fountain (the word had been better so rendered, to distinguish it from the word rendered “well” in Jn 4:11), springing, gushing, bubbling up and flowing forth within us, ever fresh, ever living. The indwelling of the Holy Ghost as the Spirit of Christ is the secret of this life with all its enduring energies and satisfactions, as is expressly said (Jn 7:37–39). “Never thirsting,” then, means simply that such souls have the supplies at home.

These seven elements help us to have better health, but they don’t simply happen in our life; we must be intentional, we must work at, we must ensure that these seven are part of our life. + +In the world of athletics or sports, we recognize that the best of the best have natural abilities but also work hard at getting where they are.

Think of the opportunity that you have! Consider the choice of available reading material. You may read those precious Bible stories of Daniel in the Lion's Den, Noah's Ark, or David and Goliath. You can take an entire week of family devotions, read the same story each night, then do various things each night to make that story come alive for your little one. As a family you may reenact the story, make the various voices, illustrate the story in a family mural, have a puppet show, write a song etc. + +Dedicate a specific time each day to family worship. Make sure everyone in the house knows the time and the place they will meet. It should be at the same time every day so that it becomes a daily habit for everyone in the family. Don't allow busyness to push it aside. You will never regret time spent worshipping together as a family. + +Make sure those Biblical lessons and stories are age appropriate for your child. Family worship should be something that they look forward to all day long. Involve them in selecting the weekly story of emphasis and in planning the activities.

These, with the “gold” which they presented, seem to show that the offerers were persons in affluent circumstances. That the gold was presented to the infant King in token of His royalty; the frankincense in token of His divinity, and the myrrh, of His sufferings; or that they were designed to express His divine and human natures; or that the prophetical, priestly, and kingly offices of Christ are to be seen in these gifts; or that they were the offerings of three individuals respectively, each of them kings, the very names of whom tradition has handed down—all these are, at the best, precarious suppositions. But that the feelings of these devout givers are to be seen in the richness of their gifts, and that the gold, at least, would be highly serviceable to the parents of the blessed Babe in their unexpected journey to Egypt and stay there—that much at least admits of no dispute.

I would, however, suggest that best gifts you can give your children are a stable, healthy, loving home environment, as well as an environment that is most conducive for your children to learn about God and will become His disciples and His children. In practical terms that means to have daily morning and evening devotional time and prayer with them, to worship every week together at church, and to make sure they attend a church school until they graduate from college.

Compare the phrase, “by him all things consist,” that is, hold together (Col. 1:17). _Pher_ is more comprehensive than our English word “consist,” since it embraces the concept of purposeful working, of planning.

+> Don't be so naive and self-confident. You're not exempt. You could fall flat on your face as easily as anyone else. Forget about self-confidence; it's useless. Cultivate God-confidence. 1 Corinthians 10:12 (MSG) + +### Observation + +**_Fall._** Self-confidence is dangerous. This is illustrated in the case of Peter, who thought that nothing could cause him to swerve from his allegiance to Christ (see Mark 14:31, 50, 67, 68, 70–72). All should heed the warning and be on guard continually, lest they be deceived by the suggestion that they have reached such a state of spiritual strength that nothing can lead them to sin. True safety lies only in the recognition of one’s absolute helplessness apart from Christ, and the constant need of the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit to deliver from sin (see John 14:26; John 15:4–7; 16:7–11, 13; 2 Cor. 12:9, 10). The admonition to “take heed” needs to be repeated frequently, for man is easily convinced that he is well able to take care of himself. Spiritual pride is a great deception, one in which it is easy for the tempter to lead the self-confident believer to fall into grievous sin (cf. 2 Sam. 11:1–4; Rom. 11:20). The exhortation to be constantly on the alert against the danger of spiritual pride is particularly appropriate to those who live in this period of the world’s history, when men are confronted daily with multiplied allurements to indulge in gratification of the carnal appetites (see Luke 21:34–36).

We have had to move many times due to the opportunities of ministry or because we were asked to serve a congregation other than where we were. Each time I took a new church my wife had to leave her job as a teacher and apply for a job in the new location. We have been blessed each time that she was able to find a teaching position nearby. + +I have learned through all these years that the ministry, whether pastoral or teaching, is not something you chose to do but rather something God calls you to do. I have also learned and have been a witness to the fact that God calls men and women, as He wishes, and equips them through His Holy Spirit. In addition , I have learned that when God calls somebody, and they allow Him to lead in their lives, the results are evident in what takes place in their ministry. For instance, as a pastor you see positive changes in the congregation you serve, you witness growth, both numerically and spiritually, and you see changed lives as a result of God working through you. As a teacher, you witness the very same things – spiritual and numeric growth in the school, positive changes in finances and in the school facilities, and you see the changed lives that result from the work of these dedicated ministers in the teaching ministry. The Holy Spirit is the same, the call is the same, the ministry is the same. In fact, Paul wrote to the Ephesians that God gave His church the gift (not gifts) of “pastors and teachers.” Not two separate gifts but one. + +In marriage, when husband and wife work together, as the spiritual ministers of their home, everyone benefits, everyone is blessed. When we as husbands and wives allow the Holy Spirit to equip us and use us we become able ministers of one another. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, thank You for calling us, equipping us, and using us to minister to others, beginning with our spouse and children. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/28-december-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/28-december-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..d7f7e2f52c --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/28-december-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Ministry for All +startDate: 12/28/2025 +endDate: 12/28/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/29-december-2025/29-december-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/29-december-2025/29-december-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..b950035e70 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/29-december-2025/29-december-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,26 @@ +--- +title: Turn Humbly Toward God +date: 12/29/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> But I, the LORD, won't destroy any of your people who are truly humble and turn to me for safety. Zephaniah 3:12 (CEV) + +### Observation + +These verses emphasize the fact that the judgment on the day of the Lord is a purging judgment. The reason why “you shall not be shamed” is that the blot of wickedness will be removed from Jerusalem. The “remnant of Israel,” that is, those who are saved from the judgment, pattern their lives after the Lord whom they serve (v. 5). They live humbly, trustingly, and righteously under the watchful care of their God.[_ Andrews Study Bible Notes_. 2010 (J. L. Dybdahl, Ed.) (1207). Berrien Springs, MI: Andrews University Press.] + +### Application + +Insurance companies have termed catastrophic events in nature, such as tornadoes, earthquakes, and hurricanes, as “acts of God.” In that sense, Satan has continued to spread widely lies about God blaming Him for the things that he and his evil companions cause upon this earth and its people. The promise of this verse is that God won’t destroy any who turn to Him humbly for safety. + +As I think of all the marriages and families falling apart, the destructive hand of the devil has caused painful havoc to many innocent children’s lives. The security and safety of their homes, the loving atmosphere of their parents’ marriage, the peace and comfort they should enjoy during their growing years has been exchanged by yelling, anger, and even physical harm. It is no wonder that many children, growing in such homes, don’t seem to have any interest in God or what He has planned for them. If parents facing marriage difficulties would stop to consider the damage they’re causing their children instead of only looking at the pain they’re experiencing at the moment they might take the steps to change their home situation for the benefit of all. + +Today’s verse holds a promise for all of us wishing to have a happy, healthy home. Turn humbly toward God for in Him we will find our safety zone. Commit yourself and your family to God every day, humbly submit to His power and His guidance, and rest confident in His protection. The key word is “humbly.” Our sense of self wants to be independent, but God wants us to learn to depend on Him. We want to be self-reliable, but God offers to help us if we rely on Him. Humbly submitting to God may be the hardest thing we have to do, but also the best thing for us and for our family. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, today we come humbly before You, asking You to help us, change us, and be our safety. + +_Used by permission of Adventist Family Ministries, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists._ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/29-december-2025/info.yml b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/29-december-2025/info.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..5de4842622 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/29-december-2025/info.yml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +title: Turn Humbly Toward God +startDate: 12/29/2025 +endDate: 12/29/2025 diff --git a/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/30-december-2025/30-december-2025.md b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/30-december-2025/30-december-2025.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..ab482212b6 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/en/devo/nad-family-devo-2025/12-december-2025/30-december-2025/30-december-2025.md @@ -0,0 +1,50 @@ +--- +title: Dumber than a Donkey +date: 12/30/2025 +--- + +_Claudio Consuegra, DMin_ + +>

Scripture

+> (Num 22:18-19 NKJV) Then Balaam answered and said to the servants of Balak, "Though Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or more. {19} "Now therefore, please, you also stay here tonight, that I may know what more the LORD will say to me." + +### Observation + +Balak entices Balaam to come curse Israel, his enemies. At first it seems as if Balaam, a prophet of God, does what the Lord tells him, but it appears that the possibility of enriching himself makes Balaam bend the rules and ignore God’s will. Peter writes: (2 Pet 2:15-16 NKJV) They have forsaken the right way and gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; {16} but he was rebuked for his iniquity: a dumb donkey speaking with a man's voice restrained the madness of the prophet. + +Jude adds: (Jude 1:11 NKJV) Woe to them! For they have gone in the way of Cain, have run greedily in the error of Balaam for profit, and perished in the rebellion of Korah. + +And John in Revelation adds even more: (Rev 2:14 NKJV) "But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality. + +From our story for today and these three texts we can conclude several things about Balaam: + +1. Even though God had already told him not to go, he went back to God as if to double-check His will. If God already stated His will, why try to change it? + +2. He told Balak’s delegations he wouldn’t go, but still asked them to stay around a little until he consulted with God. He allowed temptation to become sin. + +3. He was more interested in riches than in doing God’s will. We can’t serve God and mammon. + +4. Greed leads to rebellion. + +5. He put a stumbling block for the Israelites on the way to the promised land (Numbers 31), so that even though God prophesied and pronounced a blessing through him, he still disregarded it in order to enrich himself. + +6. His sins included greed, but also leading the Israelites to worship idols and to commit sexual immorality. These three are the most typical sins of our time. + +### Application + +As heads of our household, we must be careful not to follow the steps of Balaam. Here’s what I mean: + +1. Whenever we become aware of God’s will, we must follow it. + +2. Do not allow love for the things of this world (money, house, boat, retirement, etc.) or the pursuit of them, become the guiding principle while abandoning the pursuit of the will of God. + +3. Don’t let temptation linger or it will become sin. + +4. Not only should we not take the steps that lead to sin and death, but we must watch that we don’t lead others or place in the path of others – i.e. our family – anything that may lead them to sin. + +5. We must protect our family from the same three sins of Balaam – greed, idolatry, and sexual immorality. + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father, thank You for reminding us through the story of Balaam than when we allow temptation to lead away from You we are dumber than a donkey.

Scripture

+> One day some parents brought their children to Jesus so he could touch and bless them. But the disciples scolded the parents for bothering him. Mark 10:13 (NLT) + +### Observation + +Little children brought to Christ, v. 13. Their parents, or whoever they were that had the nursing of them, brought them to him, that he should _touch them_, in token of his commanding and conferring a blessing on them. It doth not appear that they needed any bodily _cure_, nor were they capable of being _taught:_ but it seems, 1. That they had the care of them were mostly concerned _about their souls_, their better part, which ought to be the principal care of all parents for their children; for that is the principal part, and it is well with them, it if be well with their souls. 2. They believed that Christ’s blessing would do their souls good; and therefore to him they brought them, that he might _touch_ them, knowing that he could reach their hearts, when nothing their parents could say to them, or do for them, would reach them. We may present our children to Christ, now that he is in heaven, for from thence he can reach them with his blessing, and therein we may act faith upon the fulness and extent of his grace, the kind intimations he hath always given of favour to the seed of the faithful, the tenour of the covenant with Abraham, and the promise _to us and to our children_, especially that great promise of pouring his _Spirit upon our seed_, and his _blessing_ upon _our offspring_, Isa. 44:3. [Henry, M. (1994). _Matthew Henry’s commentary on the whole Bible: Complete and unabridged in one volume_ (1799–1800). Peabody: Hendrickson.] + +### Application + +We’re often reminded of this story on those days when we have a service of dedication of children in church. It is then that we affirm their parents for making that important decision and confirm their commitment to raise their children to love and follow Jesus. But we have to be reminded, as parents, that dedicating our children to God should not be something that happens early in the life of the child, once and for all, but rather something that we do every day of their lives, even (or maybe specially so) when they have grown up and have moved away from home. + +We’ve talked about the importance of praying for our children daily in other places. This prayer that we speak about today is not simply a prayer of requests but a dedication, or a presentation of our children to God. It is as if we lifted them up so they may be closer to God. And isn’t that the best place for them to be? + +> A Prayer You May Say +> Father God, I lift my children up to you today.
