Two years ago today, I embarked on a journey with God. And over these months and years He has taken the small pittance I offer, and has multiplied it like the loaves and fishes. God has turned 1 Devotional into 664 posts. He has taken these devotionals around the world to 76 countries who are now reading His Word daily. But most of all He has been faithful, for when I started, I had no idea what I was doing…but the Lord was there every step of the way…and still is today. I would like to thank each one of you who take the time to read Safetypinlove. Thank you for your support and kind remarks. I am truly humbled and honored to be used of God. Pam

I Peter 3:8 ” Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble.”
Just think what the world would be like if we all lived by this scripture. Imagine if everyone’s goal was to live a life full of humility, modesty and love for one another. It would take a ground-swell movement, with each individual determining to be a catalyst for change…would you be that person?
I Peter 3:7 ” Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.”
There’s nothing more endearing to a woman than to feel she’s very special in the eyes her husband. This specialness can be verbalized in private and shown in public through a husband’s conduct and attitude towards her in front of others.
I Peter 3:4 ” Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.”
You probably know one…you may be one. That woman with an inner beauty that defies age and time…someone with an incorruptible presence that will never change…a sweet spirit that glows from the inside out. These women point out the Way to the younger generation…walking the walk, and talking the talk, with a strength and confidence that can only called beautiful.
I Peter 2:17 ” Show proper respect to everyone; love the brotherhood of believers, fear God, honor the king.”
Give what is fitting to all people…whether it’s brotherly love, respect, honor, or reverence. For no matter who we are, where we come from, our social status, or place in life…we all deserve respect…one to another.
Proverbs 18:7 ” A fool’s mouth is his undoing, and his lips are a snare to his soul.”
The local school district had just completed remodeling classrooms, when someone broke in and totally destroyed them. The rooms were being setup for special needs children, and all the supplies, toys, and equipment were ruined…even to the walls and carpet devastated by paint, fire extinguisher foam and glass shards from the fluorescent lights. The police had no immediate leads, but the school offered a $500 reward, and they didn’t have to wait long before young people were being named. Vandalizing wasn’t thrill enough…they had to video their destruction and post it online.
II Corinthians 4:7 ” But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not us.”
This mere mortal shell of ours is housing something miraculous…something beyond measure and human scope…it’s the power of the Almighty God within. His divine,and glorious authority dwelling there. Daily working… changing us from the inside out.
Psalm 86: 6-7 ” Hear my prayer, O Lord; In the day of my trouble I will call to you, for you will answer me.”
Psalm 86 holds a very precious place in my heart…for during one of the very lowest points in my life, I would recite the entire Psalm out loud every morning. Partly as a supplication to God, and partly as a reminder to me that the Lord not only heard my prayers and cries for help, but that He would deliver me…and He did.
Isaiah 7:9 ” If you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all.”
How firm is your foundation in the Lord? That trust you have in Him is built brick by brick – life event by life event. Every new brick representing a step of faith you took…an answer to prayer you never expected… an experience of peace in the mist of turmoil. Slowly that base is established, and soon with unshakable faith, nothing will be able to collapse your foundation in Christ.
Matthew 13:3 ” Then He told them many things in parables.”
Jesus taught in parables…stories illustrating a moral or spiritual truth. It’s much akin to an allegory, where the characters and events symbolize a deeper underlying meaning. His Disciples asked Jesus why He taught in this manner, and His reply shed light on the human nature. To those who had already rejected Jesus, they were just stories. But to the Souls who had opened their hearts and minds to Him, the parables were light and truth. For in John 14:6, Jesus states, ” I am the Way and the Truth and the Life.”
