NorMel House Devotions

 Going through hardships, loss or trials can leave us confused and feeling hurt. We don’t understand why we go through them and can be left feeling brokenhearted. When struggling with life’s disappointments and troubles it’s hard to do as the Bible says in James 1:2 and “count it all joy”. It’s times like these that we need to remember what the Bible says in Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Though we may not always see it or understand God’s plans for us we can always go to Him in prayer. The best thing we can pray is that God’s will be done. His desire and plans for us are better than anything we can dream up or hope for ourselves. As you go through rough times it’s ok to cry out to God, but remember to trust His good will for you. Today’s #TuesdayTunes speaks to the broken hearted in a prayer that reminds us to pray that God’s Will be done. Check out Hillary Sc...

 n the last few months being able to work has taken on a whole new significance. As some of us are able to start working again it’s important to remember who provides us with opportunities and grants us work. Remember to kneel before the Master and Maker and thank Him for all He has given us. We've been blessed at the NorMel House to have been able to work this whole time. My husband working from home and myself as well! Today’s #TuesdayTunes is a hymn for the working day. As you go through your week remember who to thank and listen to Keith & Kristyn Getty’s Before You I Kneel (A Worker’s Prayer)

Love. A word that represents so much; that means many different things; that causes each and every one of us to think of someone or something. Our earthly, sinful nature has put a stain on the word and its true meaning. 1 Corinthians 13:4 – 7 tells us “Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” True love is perfect, a reflection of God. God’s love is what we should strive to imitate. If our love is not like His it is hollow and empty. “So, no matter what we say, no matter what we believe, no matter what we do, We're bankrupt without love” Pull out your bible and see what God says about love in 1 Corinthians 13. As you go through this week, strive to show the love of God in all you do. Today’s #TuesdayTunes is a great way to remind...

 God’s love is truly amazing. His love is perfect and faithful beyond our comprehension. A love that covers broken hearts and wounds; it is a hand that heals and a hope that’s real. When you’re overwhelmed, broken or hurting, remember that “There are arms that we can lean in to. That always will receive us... The faithful love of Jesus” A lovely hymn to take you through the week and remind you of God’s perfect love is today’s #TuesdayTunes : The Faithful Love Of Jesus by Hilary Scott

 Feeling empty? Lost? Purposeless? Let the Holy Spirit fill you and breathe new life into your soul. Ask God to give you faith for what you cannot see, passion for God's purity. Let the love of God be your purpose, that it may be shown in all you do. Take a listen to today's #TuesdayTunes "Holy Spirit Living Breath Of God" by Keith & Kristyn Geddy

  For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord .  For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:8‭-‬9 ESV So great and powerful is our God. It's truly a blessing that we don't always get what we want. God knows all things and what He wants for us is far better than anything we could possibly think of. Trust In God #TIG #trustinGod #greatisHislove #Godsways #ChildofGod #TheNorMelHouse 

  Life is full of hurdles and when we look around its easy to despair. Where do you go for help? Who and what do you seek in times of need? Do you turn to food? Drugs? Alcohol? Do you worry and fret and allow yourself to be filled with anxiety? We so easily slip into bad habits and turn to things that won’t help us. Turn to the Lord instead. Open His Word, seek Him and you find Him. Let the peace of Christ fill your heart and mind. Know that our “help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.” Psalm 121 is a beautiful text about how God is our help. Today’s #TuesdayTunes is a beautiful tribute to Psalm 121 and speaks of how God carries us. Check out For King & Country’s song Shoulders. Let the beauty of this message carry you through the week.
