The stop sign stood at the intersection of Ponder Avenue and Scripture Street. At a glance, all I saw was: “STOP—Ponder Scripture.” After snapping the picture, I pulled over and watched five other cars come up to the stop sign. Only one stopped. The rest rolled on through. Later, I got to thinking about the intersection. “STOP—Ponder Scripture.” The command is there . and at a crossroads many come to every day. Yet the surrounding neighborhood seems unaffected. They see the stop sign, but not the street sign. I must admit it. Far too often, I do too. In ancient Israel, 48 Levitical cities were strategically placed along main roads. That meant that any Hebrew who needed the wisdom of God’s Word had to travel no longer than a day to find a priest. This made God’s Word more accessible to His people. What was true then is true now. We don’t have to travel far for a word from God. The Lord has provided His message for us through Bible translations, study tools, radio broadcasts, and an Internet full of instant media. Just a few clicks, and we have truth from Scripture. God’s Word in our path is not only a convenience—it’s also a comfort and even a conviction. It’s like a sign at a crossroads that tells us to stop—and ponder Scripture. Because you’ve picked up this e-book, I already know something about you. You have an interest in deepening your Christian life. That is tremendous! In fact, I’ve written this e-book to help you do just that. 5 www.waynestiles.com These 30 devotions have one goal: to help you grow strong in your daily walk with God. You can read one devotion a day for a month, or you could plow through the whole book in a few hours. At whatever pace you go, the book is designed to help you grow strong as you stop and Our immediate access to truth reveals ponder Scripture through these practical devotions. God’s desire to keep His Word close to Our immediate access to truth reveals God’s desire to keep His Word close to His people. Why? So that we may always know Him and obey Him. His people. Why? So that we may Thank you for the privilege of encouraging you. always know Him and obey Him. Growing strong with you, Wayne Stiles P.S.

There’s just something so incongruent with “fast food” that’s not fast. One time when I had my family in the car, I got so frustrated with the individual behind the unintelligible speaker who couldn’t understand me when I ordered, “pickles and cheese,” that I repeated it with passion: “I want chickles and peas!” After I realized what I said, I turned to my wife and daughters. They burst in laughter. For them, it was better than the meal that finally did arrive. I’m not sure what “chickles” are, but I ordered some, and the cashier even gave me a price. Since that day, a question has nagged me: Why do we treat God like the cashier at the drive- through? Lord, Give Me Some Chickles and Peas We have cultivated a fast-food mentality for most things in life—including our spiritual life. We’ve come to expect instant spirituality right along with our instant mashed potatoes. Thank God for Abraham. This guy proves that impatience and faith can be part of the same person! Abraham knew a son was coming to him from God. But the “order” wasn’t coming out quick enough. So Abraham told the Lord: “Since You have given no offspring to me, one born in my house is my heir” (Genesis 15:3). If we can’t hurry up the Almighty, we try to figure Him out. Or help Him out. Under the customs of Abraham’s day, if a man died childless, his head servant would inherit 7 www.waynestiles.com it all. This must be what God has planned, the patriarch reasoned. As often happens with us, Abraham expected fast food but the Lord was cooking filet minion. God spoke to Abraham through the drive-through speaker: “‘This man will not be your heir; but one who shall come forth from your own body, he We fail to factor in God’s sovereignty shall be your heir.’ And He took him outside and said, “Now look toward the heavens, and count the stars, if you are able to count them.’ And He said to him, ‘So shall your and power. We limit Him to what we descendants be’” (Genesis 15:4–5). can understand, and so we often God’s Drive-Through Has a Long Line content ourselves with mediocrity. We honk and holler in God’s drive-through for at least 2 reasons: 1. Our impatience. When God fails to provide our order in a timely manner, we opt for something else that shortchanges the Father’s best. After all, if we understand the Lord, we don’t have to trust Him. What’s more, who is God to keep us waiting? 2. Our shortsightedness. We fail to factor in God’s sovereignty and power. We limit Him to what we can understand, and so we often content ourselves with mediocrity. God’s Will Is Worth the Wait We have no problem trusting God for all the unknowns that happen after we die. But trusting Him for daily life? Somehow we fail to connect the dots.

  • Twenty-Two” Mark 15:16-41 9 December 2018
    “Twenty-two” Mark 15:16-41 9 December 2018 There’s an episode of The Twilight Zone called “Twenty-Two” about a woman who was overwhelmed by stress and work that she ended up in a hospital… and began having a recurring nightmare. Here’s the opening narration by Rod Serling- This is Miss Liz Powell. She's a professional dancer and she's in the hospital as a result of overwork and nervous fatigue. And at this moment we have just finished walking with her in a nightmare. In a moment she'll wake up and we'll remain at her side. The problem here is that both Miss Powell and you will reach a point where it might be difficult to decide which is reality and which is nightmare, a problem uncommon perhaps but rather peculiar to the Twilight Zone. So this woman, Liz Powell, is hospitalized for exhaustion.
