During the past year I have published several electronic books on Amazon Kindle. My most successful work so far is DAILY WALK WITH JESUS, a daily devotional, of which I've sold 120 e-copies (1/3 of total sales).
I've begun work on a companion to DWWJ which I am entitling, DAILY WORD FROM JESUS. It will contain 365 original devotions based on the words of Jesus from the Gospel of Matthew. I hope to have DWFJ out on Amazon Kindle by mid-summer. Here is an excerpt from DAILY WORD FROM JESUS.
- JANUARY 4 -
Matthew 4:10 - “Be gone, Satan! For it is written, “‘You shall worship the Lord your God and Him only shall you serve.’”
Sometimes a person has to push back at evil, to yell at the bad influences of life, to shout at the Devil. Jesus has had enough in His Word for today. After being enticed three times by Satan, Jesus told him to get lost. The vanity and foolishness of old evil foe shows itself here. He's neither as smart nor as powerful as people may think he is. If he was, he would have known tempting Jesus was a waste of time.
Jesus' Word for today directs us towards worship and service. Worship is showing God His worth, and it can occur in many aspects of life. We not only worship God in organized liturgy, we also worship Him by service in our daily lives. We serve God best by serving others.
Think how you might serve other people today. Is there someone at work, in your neighborhood or among your friends who needs a word of encouragement? Does your spouse or child need to hear you say, "I love you"? Does anyone need to hear you say, "I'm sorry"?
Worshipping God comes from a grateful heart. It is good to be thankful each day, thankful to God and thankful to those around us. Who can you thank today? Worshipping God, serving God, thanking God - all these are gifts you can give, gifts from a grateful heart.
I hope DWFJ will be a blessing to all who read it.
