Donna's Devotional For Women

Be blessed by loving

noreply@blogger.com (Donna Rivera-Loudon) — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 14:00:00 +0000

"But earnestly desire and zealously cultivate the greatest and best gifts and graces. And yet I will show you a still more excellent way, one that is better by far and the highest of them all--love." 1 Corinthians 12:31

My Comments
Love should be the number one on your spiritual priority list; Learn about love, pray about love, and develop love by loving others. We seek many things in the course of our lifetime hoping to find fulfillment, but most disappoint. When we decide to walk in love we discover it not only blesses others, it also blesses us!

Relax and use your gifts

noreply@blogger.com (Donna Rivera-Loudon) — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 14:00:00 +0000

"Peace I leave with you; My own peace I now give and bequeath to you." John 14:17

My Comments
As a Christian, we have God's peace. It is your inheritance from him. You need to use what God has given you and if you haven't been putting your gifts to work in your life, you are cheating yourself. Don't waste another minute start using the gifts God gave to us!

Turn to him

noreply@blogger.com (Donna Rivera-Loudon) — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 14:00:00 +0000

"When I said, 'My foot is slipping,' your love, O LORD, supported me." Psalms 94:18

My Comments

Sometimes we can let the smallest things ruin our day. We wake up in a good mood and then something happens and we allow it to ruin our entire day. When something happens that 'could' ruin our day, turn to Him. His love and word can strengthen and support us. When we totally rely on Him, it is possible to never have a 'bad day'.

"I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance" John 10:10

My Comments

As Christians we have a way of life that can be compared to no other. If we follow him, listen and abide in His love, we will have a full and complete life.

Beauty of a woman

noreply@blogger.com (Donna Rivera-Loudon) — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 14:00:00 +0000

"Charm is Deceptive, and beauty is fleeting, But a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised." Proverbs 31:30

My Comments

We live in a world that puts too much emphasis on outer beauty. Let's not be ensnared by this. The woman who is truly beautiful is the one who fears our Creator and places value on a strong relationship with him.

Resist Rejection

noreply@blogger.com (Donna Rivera-Loudon) — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 14:00:00 +0000

"If God is for us, who can be against us? Who can be our foe, if God is on our side?" Romans 8:31

My Comments
Sooner or later we will all feel the rejection of some form. When we feel rejected we need to hand all our hurt from the rejection to God. He will take it from you and help you get through.

Stay Soft hearted

noreply@blogger.com (Donna Rivera-Loudon) — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 14:00:00 +0000

"I will give them one heart and I will put a new spirit within them; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh sensitive and responsive to the touch of God." Ezekiel 11:19

My Comments
God has put a sense of right and wrong deep within your conscience, if you rebel to much, your heart may become hard. That is when we need to wake up and notice and let God come and soften it for us so we can be more sensitive to the leadership of the Holy Spirit.

Approval from God

noreply@blogger.com (Donna Rivera-Loudon) — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 14:00:00 +0000

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew approved of you." Jeremiah 1:5

My Comments
Nobody knows us as well as God does. He knows everything about us, including all our faults and he still approves of you and accepts you for who you are. That is exciting to know how much he loves us after all he see's from us everyday!

noreply@blogger.com (Donna Rivera-Loudon) — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 14:00:00 +0000

"God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." 2 Timothy 1:7

My Comments
God has given us the power to boldly confront our fears and break it's hold on our daily lives. Lets confront them and pray for God to help us along the way.

Blessings of God

"Wait and hope for and expect the Lord; be brave and of good courage and let your heart be stout and enduring." Psalm 27:14

My Comments
Sometimes we all feel a little discouraged, miserable, or depressed. We need to take a closer look at whats been going on in our mind. We all should start to begin to believe right now that we are about to see God's goodness in our lives.

Not Forgotten

noreply@blogger.com (Donna Rivera-Loudon) — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 14:00:00 +0000

"God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it." 1 Corinthians 10:13

My Comments
We as the people of the world struggle everyday with trials and temptations and looking for a way out. The word does say that God will provide a way out for us but as we all know he doesn't always show us the way immediately. That's when we must wait and pray until he opens the door for us to get out.

Spred God's love

noreply@blogger.com (Donna Rivera-Loudon) — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 14:00:00 +0000

"I give you a new commandment: that you should love one another. Just as I have loved you, so you too should love one another." John 13:34

My Comments
God's kind of love is unconditional and always available. He extends his love toward us and he wants us to receive it and be blessed. We then should all take that love and give it away to others so they can feel blessed as much as we do.

The foundation

noreply@blogger.com (Donna Rivera-Loudon) — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 14:00:00 +0000

"The sum of your word is truth, and every one of your righteous ordinances is everlasting." Psalm 119:160

My Comments
The word of God doesn't tell us about the truth; it is the truth. It's the word of God, we don't need to try real hard to make it relevant, it is. It's the foundation of a stable life.

noreply@blogger.com (Donna Rivera-Loudon) — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 14:00:00 +0000

"A man's counsel is sweet to his friend." Proverbs 27:9

My Comments
People need one another.The presence of other people is essential, caring people, helpful people, interesting people, friendly people, thoughtful people. The help take the grind out of life. About the time we tempted to think we can't handle something on our own they are there to help. The Lord who we need and when we are needed. We are guided by him.

My Comments
When your schedule presses, when your prospects thin, when your hope burns low, when people disappoint you, when dreams die,when your heart breaks... Look at the Lord and keep on looking. He helps us through everything we need.

Things do not "just happen." Yes, there is a God arranged plan for the world, which includes a specific plan for us. Our plan every day we wake up is to listen to him and follow him.

Do you ask?

noreply@blogger.com (Donna Rivera-Loudon) — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 14:00:00 +0000

"You do not have because you do not ask." James 4:2

My Comments
If we asked more, we would have more. But because we don't ask, we don't have. I wonder how many wonderful gifts are left unwrapped in heave because they were never asked to be unwrapped on earth? God has gifts for everyone and sometime we don't ask for the one's he has for us. Let's pray to God and ask him to show us the way to see those gifts or ask for them.

Waiting for the Lord

noreply@blogger.com (Donna Rivera-Loudon) — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 14:00:00 +0000

"My soul waits for the Lord more than the watchmen for the morning." Psalm 130:6

My Comments
We are only Human beings. We can only see the present and the past. The future is a little frightening to us. So we need to hold onto God's hand and trust Him to calm our fears. God has a plan for us, mysterious though it may seem, and we all want to be in the center of it.

Happiness

"I have seen that nothing is better than that man should be happy in his activities, for that is his lot." Ecclesiastes 3:22

My Comments
There is a difference between something good and something great all because of the attention to detail. That is true of a delicious meal, a music presentation, a play, a clean car, a church,a well-disciplined family, a clean kept home...Lets make a commitment to quality control. Let's kick out all the mediocre and join the excellence.

"You have see my affliction; you have known the troubles of my soul." Psalm 31:7

My Comments
God has entrusted to us a great deal. he knows that we can do all things by His grace, so He's trusting in us to trust Him. He knows our fears as well, otherwise He wouldn't assure us so often of His purpose and His presence.

Uncommon and Extraordinary

noreply@blogger.com (Donna Rivera-Loudon) — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 14:00:00 +0000

"Now to Him who , by the power that is at work within us, is able to do super abundantly, far over and above all that we ask or think infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes or dreams." Ephesians 3:20

My Comments
God uses common, ordinary people who have uncommon goals and visions. you should not be content to be average. It is not bad, but it is also not excellent. It is just good enough to get by, and that isn't what God wants for you. We don't serve an average God, so we don't have to settle for an average life.

Choices we make

noreply@blogger.com (Donna Rivera-Loudon) — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 14:00:00 +0000

"Look carefully then how you walk! Live purposefully and worthily and accurately, not as the unwise and witless, but as wise." Ephesians 5:15

My Comments
We all wish that God would be there for everything we do but he doesn't dictate everything that happens during each day of our lives. When we don't get a word from God we need to use our own wisdom to make good choices.

"But the fruit of the Holy Spirit is love, joy,peace,patience,kindness, goodness faithfulness, gentleness, self-control." Galatians 5:22

My Comments
God gives each one of us various gifts to use, but in order to use your gifts in the most powerful way as He desires, you must first allow the fruit to grow up and mature within you.
