Meet Me in the Word: The Daily Devotional with a Weekly Rhythm

Send Tim a noteWhat do you do after a failure that leaves you feeling discouraged or even disillusioned?  How do you move forward, back into mission and maybe more importantly, back into health?  I think we all want reassurance that we’ll be okay; that we’re not abandoned.This is the part of the story that comes after defeat and a brutal reckoning because of sin.  It's all picking up after the hard thing, trying things a different way, and following God's instructions for us.  Don't be afraid, don't be discouraged!Support the showFor a reading plan and to learn more about this devotional.  Check out the website!https://meetmeintheword.com/Want to support this ministry but don't want to do the monthly subscription?  Click the link below.https://buymeacoffee.com/timothysamuel

Send Tim a noteDo you ever look at someone else’s spiritual life and think, “why isn’t mine like theirs?” If that’s you, I want you to hang in there with me until the end - I have some words of encouragement specifically for you.Genesis 15 holds a story of promises, patience, and faith.  We see how Abram not only believes God but brings his questions and doubts to the LORD as well.  We don’t typically get to set the timeline when it comes to God’s plans for us and Abram is no exception.Support the showFor a reading plan and to learn more about this devotional.  Check out the website!https://meetmeintheword.com/Want to support this ministry but don't want to do the monthly subscription?  Click the link below.https://buymeacoffee.com/timothysamuel

Send Tim a noteWhat motivates you to do the right thing?  And does it matter?  The truth is we all can be prompted into action by things like rewards, the fear of punishment or negative consequences for bad behavior or even bribes. The Jesus way challenges all of those things and calls us to develop the habit of simply living rightly.Jesus teaches about giving to the needy in Matthew 6:1-4, instructing us to think about so much more than the admiration and applause of people.Support the showFor a reading plan and to learn more about this devotional.  Check out the website!https://meetmeintheword.com/Want to support this ministry but don't want to do the monthly subscription?  Click the link below.https://buymeacoffee.com/timothysamuel

Send Tim a noteIf I gave you 5 minutes to put pen to paper, how would you describe someone who is holy?  Now, if you just jumped straight to “someone saved by Jesus” - I want you to flesh that out a little more: what are their traits?  How do they conduct themselves? Can we discern if someone is living a holy life through observation?While I’m sure he took more than 5 minutes, David does that very thing in Psalm 15, describing someone who belongs on Mt. Zion, God's holy mountain.  Join me as we look at how our relationships with others reveals a changed life. Support the showFor a reading plan and to learn more about this devotional.  Check out the website!https://meetmeintheword.com/Want to support this ministry but don't want to do the monthly subscription?  Click the link below.https://buymeacoffee.com/timothysamuel

Send Tim a noteWhy is it that the hidden things in our lives cause the most trouble?  One of the big lies we tell ourselves is that if no one else knows, it isn’t causing harm to us. Deep down we all know that isn’t true but it feels easier at the time to try and bury the problem rather than hauling it out into the light.The story of Achan is not an easy read but it can serve as a good reminder that while we do live in the light of Jesus’ victory over sin, we can’t just ignore it.  Grace means forgiveness and faithfulness!Support the showFor a reading plan and to learn more about this devotional.  Check out the website!https://meetmeintheword.com/Want to support this ministry but don't want to do the monthly subscription?  Click the link below.https://buymeacoffee.com/timothysamuel

Send Tim a noteWhat if I told you that your faith doesn’t need to be perfect but it does need to be honest?  What if I also told you that this is one of those things that wasn’t meant for your head so it needs to travel down to your heart?  What if we truly came to accept it? We explore these things as well as what it means to be children of Abraham in a very real sense.Support the showFor a reading plan and to learn more about this devotional.  Check out the website!https://meetmeintheword.com/Want to support this ministry but don't want to do the monthly subscription?  Click the link below.https://buymeacoffee.com/timothysamuel

Send Tim a noteWhat would you do with your 15 minutes of fame?  If (and when) you got them, the platform would be suddenly yours and with it comes the  opportunity for influence and the chance to improve your situation.  We see quite a bit of that in our world today, some handle it well and others not so much.  I wonder if any of us is particularly prepared to handle those big successes.Abram experiences something similar to those 15 minutes of fame in Genesis 14, our text for today. Also, who is this Melchizedek?Support the showFor a reading plan and to learn more about this devotional.  Check out the website!https://meetmeintheword.com/Want to support this ministry but don't want to do the monthly subscription?  Click the link below.https://buymeacoffee.com/timothysamuel

Send Tim a noteIf you’ve ever read a passage and thought, “that isn’t fair at all!” You’re one of the good ones!  Someone who reads with an honest heart. Today we’re reading some teaching from Jesus that isn’t hard to grasp for our minds but it is for our hearts. Loving people in general can be enough of a challenge but Jesus calls us to much more than that. What does it mean for us to pray for our adversaries and love people who are flat out mean to us? Support the showFor a reading plan and to learn more about this devotional.  Check out the website!https://meetmeintheword.com/Want to support this ministry but don't want to do the monthly subscription?  Click the link below.https://buymeacoffee.com/timothysamuel

Send Tim a noteI’ve noticed that there’s a lot of anxiety in the world lately. I’ll bet you’ve noticed the same thing.  Politically, in so many countries, things feel tense.  I grew up in the late stages of the Cold War and there was plenty to be worried about back then too. Even in their personal lives people face economic uncertainty, strife in families and marriages and at times it just seems nothing goes right.  And it feels like much of the world is turning its back on God.So.. where do we turn for security?Support the showFor a reading plan and to learn more about this devotional.  Check out the website!https://meetmeintheword.com/Want to support this ministry but don't want to do the monthly subscription?  Click the link below.https://buymeacoffee.com/timothysamuel

Send Tim a noteWhen was the last time you did something to earn God’s favor?  Some of you raised an eyebrow just now and set your theological sensor up to 500%.  Living a life that’s pleasing to God is a good thing but how does that work itself out in real life? You know, our faith actually isn’t all that complicated but it is deep, with layers to work through. Today we look at the significance of believing God and the power of forgiveness. Support the showFor a reading plan and to learn more about this devotional.  Check out the website!https://meetmeintheword.com/Want to support this ministry but don't want to do the monthly subscription?  Click the link below.https://buymeacoffee.com/timothysamuel

Send Tim a noteHear me out… following Jesus is worth more than any amount of wealth or ease life can offer. Also hear me out… Most of us don’t know where our conviction truly lies until we’re faced with a meaningful, substantial choice. That’s not to say we don’t mean it when we say it, it is to say that core beliefs are refined in the context of real life much more than in a mental exercise. This episode deals with the significance and power of making good choices even when they feel like they’re not a huge deal at the moment. Support the showFor a reading plan and to learn more about this devotional.  Check out the website!https://meetmeintheword.com/Want to support this ministry but don't want to do the monthly subscription?  Click the link below.https://buymeacoffee.com/timothysamuel

Send Tim a noteJesus continues to speak to the very center of His listeners in the Sermon on the Mount. He’s calling people out of technical observation and into genuine life change.

Send Tim a noteThis one’s for the over-thinkers, the ones who just can’t help but come up with 17 worst case scenarios.  If there were trophies handed out for overthinking, you’d have a room full of them but somehow, you’d convince yourself that you didn’t deserve them and that your friends have all abandoned you.You're definitely not alone!  In fact, this experience is so common that many of the people who penned Scripture battled the same thing.  Join me as we lean into honesty and move towards peace and worship.Support the showFor a reading plan and to learn more about this devotional.  Check out the website!https://meetmeintheword.com/Want to support this ministry but don't want to do the monthly subscription?  Click the link below.https://buymeacoffee.com/timothysamuel

Send Tim a noteToday we get to look at one of the famed battles in all of Scripture. Songs have been written and Veggie Tales have offered their unique telling of this story. Joshua chapter 6 gives us the battle of Jericho and our task is to understand it well in order that we can also grow and develop as followers of Jesus, especially as it's one of those stories that is familiar to many of us.I'll also offer 3 helpful questions to ask when you're doing your own study in our reflection time. Support the showFor a reading plan and to learn more about this devotional.  Check out the website!https://meetmeintheword.com/Want to support this ministry but don't want to do the monthly subscription?  Click the link below.https://buymeacoffee.com/timothysamuel

Send Tim a note"How are you doing today?"  We ask each other that kind of question often, presumably because we care about each other and we hope that the people in our lives will feel safe enough with us to just be themselves. Here’s the thing, though, Jesus will meet us in whatever state or emotion we find ourselves and meet us exactly how we need.  He certainly met the Jews in their situation but he also met everyone else regardless of what was happening in their lives up to that point. I will let you know that I spent longer than normal mulling this text over… kind of holding it… thinking and praying about how God really does call each of us into deeper waters than we might expect, and that’s a good thing. Support the showFor a reading plan and to learn more about this devotional.  Check out the website!https://meetmeintheword.com/Want to support this ministry but don't want to do the monthly subscription?  Click the link below.https://buymeacoffee.com/timothysamuel

Send Tim a noteWe get to dive into two distinct moments in our Scripture reading today. The first is one of the most influential and important promises made in the O.T. and the second could be the basis of some sort of soap opera.  All in a day’s reading :)  My prayer is that our time today will help us appreciate God’s faithfulness even when we sometimes behave badly.  Apparently, God has factored in our crazy choices and still chooses to work with us.

Send Tim a noteFollowing Jesus would be so much easier without all these other people!I think we’ve all felt that way at different times.  We want the harmony and unity of what the church ought to be but people (including me and you) make it difficult.   That's part of the spiritual formation and refining we go through, though.  Following Jesus was never about safety but it IS about healing. Support the showFor a reading plan and to learn more about this devotional.  Check out the website!https://meetmeintheword.com/Want to support this ministry but don't want to do the monthly subscription?  Click the link below.https://buymeacoffee.com/timothysamuel

Send Tim a noteIf you’ve ever thought that someone had your back and then found out that they didn’t.  That betrayal can really sting.  Unfortunately, that’s a pretty common thing, not just today but throughout human history.  We don’t know what, exactly, prompted David to write Psalm 12 but it certainly reads like he was exasperated; wondering who he could actually trust.We’ll explore the importance and power of our words, loyalty and take a moment to consider how we form our values and ethics. Support the showFor a reading plan and to learn more about this devotional.  Check out the website!https://meetmeintheword.com/Want to support this ministry but don't want to do the monthly subscription?  Click the link below.https://buymeacoffee.com/timothysamuel

Send Tim a note“Unless there is an element of risk in our exploits for God, there is no need for faith.” ~ Hudson TaylorThat’s one of those quotes that really makes you stop and think about who is actually shaping your life.  Another way of saying that might be: Am I settling for the best that I can do or am I actively pursuing God’s plan?Joshua encounters the man with a drawn sword and quickly realizes this is a sacred moment from God right before the battle would begin.

Send Tim a noteHave you ever had one of those conversations?  The kind where someone is critiquing you… maybe even in the context of your job but it could happen in any context.  And the worst part is… they’re right?  That is a pretty rough experience and it reminds me about most of Romans up through 3:20.  Paul has been taking everyone to taskBut now the tone shifts into hope, into a new thing now that the old mentality  has been disassembled.Support the showFor a reading plan and to learn more about this devotional.  Check out the website!https://meetmeintheword.com/Want to support this ministry but don't want to do the monthly subscription?  Click the link below.https://buymeacoffee.com/timothysamuel

Send Tim a noteHear me out… What if I told you that you’ll never be good enough to get into God’s good graces on your own.  The requirements are too rigid, too high, too long, too much. But Jesus did meet them… completely… and He’s invited you to enter into that abundant life through him.  What would you think about that?Many of you have already worked through that idea to a certain level and yet, there’s always more.

Send Tim a noteWhat are some of the ways that God has met your needs?  I’ve noticed that I don’t always recognize them in the moment but they become clear after time with reflection.  We’ll get to talk about that in Joshua 5:1-12.  Even though we can go through lengthy times that feel like the wilderness, new seasons of life and goodness do come.We’ll also take time to look at what it means to take an intentional pause in order to move toward wholeness in Christ.Support the showFor a reading plan and to learn more about this devotional.  Check out the website!https://meetmeintheword.com/Want to support this ministry but don't want to do the monthly subscription?  Click the link below.https://buymeacoffee.com/timothysamuel

Send Tim a noteIf you’ve ever struggled with working so hard to understand a Biblical text that you forgot to let it hit your heart, you’re not alone.
