DAILY DEVOTIONAL THURSDAY JUNE 19, 2025
(Matthew 6:33)
***PERSONAL MESSAGE FOR YOU FROM BILL KELLER: Never forget Jesus loves you my friend. He is with you and will guide your every step of the way. JESUS LOVES YOU! Do you love Jesus??? LOVE HIM TODAY BY HOW YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE!!!
***DAILY PERSONAL PRAYER FOR YOU: Dear Lord, I cry out to You today. I have no place to turn but to You. My life is Yours. Do with it as You will and I will obediently serve You with my very last breath. IN the name of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ..AMEN!
***THE DAILY LIVEPRAYER TV NUGGET: What is China planning here in the United States? For some insane reason, Chinese companies (all who answer to the CCP) have purchased thousands of acres of land right next to several US Military bases. For the record, a US citizen couldn’t buy ONE SQUARE INCH of land in China! President Trump should immediately declare a national security emergency and take back that land. I am not suggesting we simply steal it, pay them whatever the fair market rate is for the land, but GET IT OUT OF THE HANDS OF CHINA!!! During the 4 years of the illegitimate Biden regime, we know of at least 30,000 military age men from China invaded our country. Where are they? Chances are we have NO CLUE, but they are here. What could the CCP do with all of this land they control by our military bases along with 30,000 military age men? THERE ARE MANY POSSIBILITIES AND NONE OF THEM ARE GOOD! Pray for God’s protection. However, we must take that land back and have a special task force assigned to track down these Chinese illegals and deport them ASAP! Otherwise, we are simply asking for an attack by China on our own soil!!!

One of the easiest traps to fall into, and one of things I pray about daily, is giving my best effort in every area of my life. For most of us, a big portion of our life is our job or school. We tend to spend the majority of our time and energy either involved in our work or school. How many days do you come home from work or school, and are exhausted? You have literally given everything you have, and your tank is empty.
The problem is, in addition to your work or school, you have a spouse, children, family, friends (maybe only one or possibly all) who are part of your life and need to be nurtured. How often do we come home and we just have nothing left for our wife, husband, or family? Or how many times are we too busy to spend that quality time with our children we need to?
The fact is, while we often give our best efforts, give the best of what we have at work or school, and those who we love most in this life, get the leftovers. Recently, I did a Devotional on working on our job or at school as unto the Lord . . doing our best, since we are His representatives on the job site or in the classroom. So I am NOT talking about not giving our best efforts when we are working or in school. What I am talking about is the balance in our life that is so critical.
The order of our priorities is simple. Our relationship with the Lord has to be first, since who we are and what we are in this life flow from that relationship. Then come those people God has given us to share this life with . . our spouse, children, family, and close friends. Next is our job or education.
Now, I realize that I may make some people uncomfortable today. Talk to the Lord about it. Why do we give so much at work or school, give the very best we have, and give very little at home . . . and usually nothing at all to the Lord. That is upside down! When our priorities are upside down, our lives tend to get upside down. Marriages get into trouble because husbands and wives don’t work at it. Marriage is NOT a joint living arrangement, but a bonding, a blending of two lives into one, with Christ as the center.
Everyone is so busy with “work” that many marriages are little more than convenient living arrangements!!!
Is it any wonder then, why, without the intimacy and the daily nurturing, that so many end up in relationships outside the home? The really stupid thing is that if you put the same amount of energy and effort into your spouse that you end up putting into someone else, you would be amazed at how wonderful God can make the marriage experience. Because of “work”, your children don’t get the best you have, they get little bits and pieces here and there. Other family members and friends also get whatever is left over. The Lord? Maybe a “hello” as you leave in the morning or a “prayer” as your eyes close at night.
Nobody is more guilty of this than I am. I have written this Devotional several times in the last months, but never sent it out. As with all battles, we must have a battle plan. Being a very organized person, as many of you are, here is how I have worked at keeping my priorities straight, making sure that I was giving my best efforts, in all of the areas of my life. First, is my daily walk with Christ. Whether you are a pastor, in full-time ministry, a homemaker, a student, or whatever else you may do in life, THERE IS NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR DAILY WALK WITH CHRIST.
Especially for those in ministry, if you don’t have a real, intimate, daily walk with Christ, you have NO ministry. Your ministry flows from that personal relationship. I spend the first 15-20 minutes every morning in prayer, then another 20-30 minutes in the Word. I HAVE to start my day with the Lord for many reasons, but practically, if I don’t do it then, it will never get done. That is reality. I schedule my day to include time with my wife.
It may sound cold, but I operate best under a disciplined schedule. I make sure we eat dinner together, do something out of the house together, and spend time talking every day. Even when I don’t want to, I HAVE to talk to my wife. Husbands and wives HAVE to talk to each other every day, and not just about the daily business. Communication is critical to a relationship. Talk with the Lord and talk with your wife. Sandwiched in between is our work or school.
How is it possible to have the energy to give our best to the Lord, at work or school, to our spouse, kids, family, and friends? My friend, in our own strength it is impossible! We can only do it in the strength the Lord gives us. We have to be aware of how important it is to keep our priorities in line. When we get our priorities out of line, we will get into trouble in one, two, or many areas of our life. It is just a matter of time.
I love, care about you, and will be praying for you today. I realize that this is a very difficult subject for many and will actually involve much conviction from the Holy Spirit, since you are so entrenched in your day-to-day lives. It is not too late to make changes, and God will help you to get your priorities in order: God, our loved ones, work/school. If we keep our priorities straight, the Lord will help us to always give our best effort in EVERY area of our lives.
In His love and service,
Your friend and co-laborer in His work,
Bill Keller
