DAILY DEVOTIONAL SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 13, 2025

(Ecclesiastes 12:13)

***Personal Message For You From Bill Keller***

No matter what is happening in your life today, don't let anything or anyone rob you of your joy!!!

Since virtually day one, the Liveprayer internet site has been targeted by those who hate God’s Truth. By His hand and our talented tech team, Liveprayer has been a beacon of God’s Light on the internet for over 26 years despite the efforts of those who want to silence our voice. We have been under various attacks since early Wednesday morning and if you did not receive the Daily Devotional for Wednesday, or Thursday, or Friday here are the links to those Devotionals. Our techs have told me all will be back to normal by Sunday night for the start of next week. Never forget that the Daily Devotional is always posted on the Liveprayer.com homepage every night at Midnight. The devil is a liar and God wins!

OUR GOD IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED!

***Daily Personal Prayer For You***

Dear Lord, give me Your strength today. Your Word says that when I am weak, You are strong. Strengthen me this day to live my life for You, to defeat my enemies, and see victory. You, and You alone are my hope and strength each day. Let the Holy Spirit rise up in me this day and guide my life for Your glory! In the name of Jesus I pray...AMEN!!!

***The Daily Liveprayer TV Nugget***

Good news about the economy! I remember just a few months ago when President Trump announced his tariff strategy the markets became nervous and there was a big sell off. The DOW went from 44,000 to 38,000 with similar sell offs in the NASDAQ and S&P. I shared on the TV program over several days for people not to panic. If you had a stock worth $100 and it was now only worth $70, you actually haven’t lost anything if you don’t sell it at $70. Having been in that world for many years when I was running from the Lord, the US economy was too strong not to come back especially with Trump as President and the economic growth policies he was enacting. Thursday the DOW closed over 46,000, a new high! We have also seen new highs in the NASDAQ and S&P. Once Fed Chairman “too late” Jerome Powell finally cuts interest rates later this month by at least 25 basis points, possibly 50 basis points, it will only juice the economy further. I will be praying for you and for the Lord’s blessings and favor over your finances as HE gives you wisdom to be a good steward over what He has entrusted into your care. AMEN!

***September Financial Update***

A HUGE thank you to all of these who have been praying and those able to help me with a gift at this critical time. Due to a couple of special gifts plus others giving as they were able, we have covered the balance of our July shortfall! AMEN.

Be praying as we work to cover the $55,000 we required for our August and September ministry operations for a total of $110,000 to end September with all of our financial obligations current. OUR GOD IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED!

The Bible teaches us to “give according to our ability to give.” For some that may be $10 or $20. For others it may be $50 or $100. Still others it may be $200, $500, $1,000, $10,000 or more. God will bless your gift no matter the amount.

Also, don’t forget a gift of $1,800 covers one day of ministry at Liveprayer. I received this email recently, “Pastor Bill, My wife and I have just sold our last rental and God told us to tithe $1,800.00 to pay for a day of your ministry. Not looking for accolades, just that you know when you receive the check. Rest assured that we will still be making our regular weekly tithes."

To give a gift to Liveprayer you can use your major credit card at: http://liveprayer.com/donate.cfm or you can mail your gift to: Liveprayer, 6662 46th Ave. North, St. Petersburg, FL 33709. All gifts to Liveprayer are 100% tax deductible!

God has led many of our friends in the Liveprayer family to remember His work here in their will. Please pray about this opportunity to continue and partner with me in the Lord's work at Liveprayer, even after you are enjoying your rewards and the eternal peace of Heaven!

If you accept the Bible for what it is, God's inspired, inerrant word representing Absolute Truth and our final authority in all matters, then Solomon was the wisest man that ever lived. Over the years, I have carefully studied his life, the things he said, trying to tap into his wisdom.

As a man, like all men, Solomon made many mistakes in his life and gave into the temptations of this sinful world on many occasions. It doesn't make me feel any better, but it does help when I make mistakes to know that even the wisest man who ever lived also made many mistakes during his life.

I have torn apart the Book of Ecclesiastes many times and have spent countless hours reading Solomon's summation of this life. In looking back over his life, having had all that anyone who lives in this world could ever want, the word that Solomon used over and over was "meaningless."

As he looked back, he realized that in the end all of the temporal things of this world were exactly that, meaningless. It is actually a pretty negative book until you get to the next to last verse. As only the wisest man who ever lived could, in 6 words Solomon summed up what this life is all about, "FEAR GOD AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS".

This may sound like an oversimplification, but it really isn't. The Hebrew word for fear is not the type of fear you have when you are afraid, but literally means to be in awe, in reverence. That should always be our attitude towards God, awe and reverence.

Keeping His commandments refers to obeying the Word of God. My friend, if we can do this throughout our life, fear God and keep His commandments, we have found the key to what this life is really all about since this is the whole duty of man.

You see, this world honors those who lead great armies into war, rule empires and nations, those who have amassed tremendous wealth, people who are responsible for accomplishing incredible feats during their life. But all of these great accomplishments are only temporary. The truly great accomplishments in this life are the things we do that will stand for eternity.

Sharing with people the truth of God's Word, leading the lost to an everlasting relationship with Jesus Christ, helping those who know Christ become all God wants them to be. These are things the world will never see, but God will remember. Solomon at the end of his long, successful, and distinguished life on this earth summed it all up by saying that the whole duty of man is to fear God and keep His commandments.

I love you and care about you so much. I tell you often to stay focused on the things above as opposed to the things of this life. I pray today that you will take a long hard look at your goals and priorities, and make fearing God and keeping His commandments number one. Our purpose in this life is to serve and glorify God. If fearing Him and keeping His commandments is how to fulfill His purpose for our life, then that must be our top priority each day.

I pray today that you will listen to the wisdom of Solomon and that each day the most important thing in your life will be to "fear God and keep His commandments." That my friend is the whole duty of man and the bottom line to what this life is all about!!!

In His love and service,

Your friend and co-laborer in His work,

Bill Keller
