Welcome to the Berea church of Christ. We hope you will be blessed by your visit with us. We believe the Bible to be the inspired Word of God and that it is our sure guide in all aspects of life. It is our goal to worship as directed by God’s Word and to teach and obey the will of God as revealed in the Bible.

Daily Devotional
DAILY DEVOTIONAL ✝️
Devotion
When I was a student at Berea College, in order to eat in food services (and back then in Berea there was nowhere else to eat) you had to have your “food card” to get in line. My old friends (and probably some of my new ones, and certainly my wife) will testify to my forgetfulness. I was forever misplacing that card.
Fortunately for me (and I’m sure other students) the gentleman who sat at a desk at the bottom of the steps in food service and recorded our numbers had a wonderful memory. Most times he would just nod at you, letting you know “I got your number in my head” and let you pass without even showing it. Lonzo was his name, and we students considered him a good friend. We could always count on his devotion to his work. Although I lacked devotion to keeping up with important items (like food cards), Lonzo never lacked his devotion to students. I remember him fondly..
As for devotion, I’m still a work in progress. God calls us to be devoted to his word and his will. In the Old Testament book of 2nd Chronicles, King Asa lost his devotion to God. He turned to foreign powers to help him win a battle against the Northern Kingdom. This strategy worked, and as a result the Northern Kingdom gave up the blockade. However, Asa, in winning the battle with the enemy, lost the war in the eyes of God.
Instead of relying on God for victory, instead of putting 100% of his heart into God's hands, he trusted foreign mercenaries to do the job. In the next verse, Hanani the seer gives Asa two reasons why he should have trusted God 100%:
-
GOD SEES PERFECTLY
In 2nd Chronicles 16.9 he told Asa God sees perfectly.
His eyes see into every heart, and situation: He weighs all the options. God makes no mistakes. If you are experiencing or facing something, it is not because of divine error. Asa's problem with the North was completely in God's view and control. God had a solution but Asa did not ask for it.
2. GOD NOT ONLY SUPPORTS, HE STRONGLY SUPPORTS
There is a relationship here between how much we trust God and how much help we get. The verse says that strong support goes to the ones who strongly trust in God. Had Asa trusted completely in God, he would have had complete victory. Instead, he settled for a partial and temporary victory.
So, what part of your heart have you given to the Lord? Perhaps a better question would be, "what part are you still holding back?" Maybe the incomplete victories, obstacles, stress and unhappiness in your life can be traced to that portion of your heart that you still have not given to God.
To my knowledge, no one in the Bible who went all in for God was ever disappointed. Give it all to Him!~jme
