Every Knee Shall Bow

The July 2025 Refreshing Daily in God’s Word will be the last issue of the devotional.  Pastor Michael Rouse retired June 29, 2025.  At the present time, Mountain View Baptist Church does not have anyone to continue this ministry.

 

We appreciate all the support and prayers that you have given for this ministry since 2007 when it first began. We pray the devotionals have been a blessing and have brought you closer in your walk with the Lord.

 

In the future, the Lord may allow the devotional to return.  In the meantime, we are asking for your prayers for the man that God chooses for our church.

 

Thank you and God bless you! 


Bible Reading:  Romans 14:1-12


Key Verse: 11 – “For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.”


Key Words: every knee shall bow


Paul was pointing out to these Roman Christians that everyone must give an account to God.  Even those who were judging others would one day bow and be judged.  For me, just to think of standing before Jesus is a humbling thing.  It reminds me of an illustration I read taken from The King’s Business.


A number of prominent literary men were assembled in a room in London.  The conversation veered to a discussion of some of the great men of the past.  One man asked, “Gentlemen, what would we do if suddenly Milton entered the room?”  “Ah,” replied another, “we would give him a standing ovation.”  “And,” said another, “If Shakespeare entered?”  “We would rise and crown him master of the literary world.”  And another said, “If Jesus entered, what would we do?”  “I think,” said Charles Lamb amid an intense silence, “we would fall on our faces!”


Certainly, you must agree with me that to stand before Jesus will be a humbling experience, for certainly He is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.


Friend, have you ever humbled yourself before Jesus and asked Him to be your Savior?  Would you do so today?


 He who bows before Jesus as his Savior need not worry about bowing before him as his Judge at the Great White Throne.

What to do:

Bow now or bow later – but you will bow.
