Devotional - 11th June 2020

'O God, You are my God; early will I seek You; my soul thirst for You; my flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water' (Psalm 63:1).

It is such a wonderful feeling when you know God and experience His great and amazing love; the feeling is indescribable. When you can exclaim with joy and gladness of heart, 'O God, You are my God.' He is indeed our God, who formed us with such love in the image of Himself, with His own hands; so beautifully and wonderfully, that man still marvels at the work of His hands! He is the One who can sustain our hungry and thirsty souls. Christ said, "I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst" (John 6:35). What a wonderful promise! Our soul needs spiritual food just as our body needs physical food to sustain us; and Jesus can provide both. Through our life journeys we had to go through some weary and parched places where only Christ alone can sustain our desperate needs. When we make Christ our life, submitting our will to Him; our souls will yearn and long for Him, through those weary, tiresome times, where there is no water. David knew God from an early age and recognised that He can trust and depend on Him. He did exactly that throughout his life's journey. At this time of his life when he was hunted by his enemies; exile from his people and homeland; with no friends, he cried out to God. "O God, You are My God. Early will I seek You. My soul thirst for You. My flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land; where there is no water." Are you, like David going through a stormy path; through the dry and thirsty land in the wilderness, where there is no water? Why not call out to Christ today, the Rock of your salvation; your strong Tower; your Shepherd? If you search for Him with your whole heart, you will find Him. Let Him be your living water, that will satisfy your soul in a dry and thirsty land.

 Devotional 'The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed' (Psalm 28:8). The Lord our God is the glory of our strength, and in His name we shall rejoice all the day. The Lord is our strength, and the saving strength of His anointed. It is through Christ our anointed that all our blessings come to us. Here we see David, who is a type of our Lord Jesus, praising God. What about you? Christ had done much for us and has achieved full salvation for us, therefore, praise Him! We, like Israel are encouraged that the Lord is our Strength and salvation. When we seek to be in a  relationship with God, He will protect us from our enemies and save us from the crutches of Satan. Just as how Satan attempts to destroy Christ many times, whilst he was on earth, God  saved him and will do the same for us. Christ died to save us all, but it is those who trust Him and have a saving relationship with him that will spend eternity with. He is our High Priest, and J...

 'I protest by your rejoicing  which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily' (1 Corinthians 15:31). Christ our Lord came and died for each and everyone to save us from the bondage of sin. He lived on this earth, ministered to the needs of all who He encountered; He was crucified, and resurrected and is now interceding for us, as our High Priest in Heaven. What if there was no resurrection? What would be the implications for God's people? The preaching of the gospel would be a lie, our faith would be worthless and we would all have remained in our sin. Paul is saying, there would be no cause to his dying daily, or for any one who believed and accept Jesus as their personal Saviour to die daily. Paul was expecting death at any time for Christ's sake. He was constantly in peril of his life, he encountered extreme sufferings and was beset with death. He was willing to die at anytime and in any way for Christ's sake. He did not count his life dear unto himself, but...

 'The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing' (Zephaniah 3 17). What an amazing and wonderful God we serve, who is mighty to save. The Lord our God is with us and is mighty to save. He will take great delight in us and will quiet us with his love, and also rejoice over us with singing. We didn't have to do anything for God to love us, he did because he created us and we are His. He created us and loves us just as we are. Even when we did not deserve it, the Lord took delight in us. What an awesome God! He is present in the midst of us, loving and caring for us. He protects and defend us; died to save us from sin, so we can have life and have it more abundant. He is mighty to save us from fears; our enemies and the bondage of sin and death. We all need a Saviour, Christ the Lord, who is the cure for our problems and the antidote to sin. Christ has already won ...
