Devotional
"Take God's Word For It" is a weekly devotional by Stacie Ruth Stoelting Hudzinski.


 God is infinitely more than enough.


Yes, infinitely more amazing and satisfying

than millions of likes, shares, or comments

is the magnitude of Christ's love for you!


 Feel free to listen to the short radio program version by clicking here.



So are you ready to stop the status quo of updating your status? Tired of waiting for likes/loves/shares or words of praise to make your day?


Infinitely more amazing and satisfying than millions of likes/loves/shares is the love of Jesus for you.


Are you ready for Jesus to walk in and refresh you within so you'll never be without? Now is the moment. Now is the opportunity to welcome Him to come in and change you into a beautiful new creation, to refresh you deeply, to quench your thirst, to fully satisfy your hunger. Now is the day of salvation instead of stagnation and frustration. Now. Call on Him now.


Yes, the buzz of noisy, glowing screens and constant stimulation of today's technology inundate our senses. People guzzle coffee and push hard until all their buttons are oppressed to the max. Something keeps pressurizing people to conform to the popular.

The pop culture message continues to spread that you are more than enough or to just follow your heart. The problem rests, however, in the fact that we are a frazzled people with sinful hearts and resources that are not enough in our own strength. Not enough. 


But then the Lord Jesus enters. And God is infinitely more than enough.


He strengthens us to do what He's called us to do. He never asks us to do things unless He supplies the resources (i.e. the grace, the strength) for us to do them through Him and for Him. He loves us more than our best, wildest dreams!


Not a popular thing to talk about. But it is true: The Gospel is the only Good News worth sharing at all costs. Christ died for you and me to be set free from sin and to be with Him for eternity. He is the only Way. Freedom in Christ includes freedom from a frazzled life fraught with overtaxing exercises in futility. 


Today, people fixate on finding what is wrong with each other or finding ways to rationalize wrong choices. But when we fix our eyes on Jesus, we exit the dark, losing game of comparison and rationalization. We instead experience His loving, bright, holy presence which exceeds our highest expectations and deepest longings! Hallelujah!


Let's pray. And take God's Word to heart. Today. Be made new in Christ! Repent. Call on Him. Experience His eternal win! And, if you already know Him, refocus and refresh. Amen?


"Working together with him, then, we appeal to you not to receive the grace of God in vain. For he says, 'In a favorable time I listened to you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you.' Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation" (II Corinthians 6:1-2, ESV).


"Therefore You are great, O Lord God; for there is none like You, and there is no God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our ears" (II Samuel 7:22).

Please open our eyes and our hearts whenever we open Your Word. Grant us grace to give grace, please. Heal us so that we enjoy You most and bring glory to You.
