Devotional - 16th July 2020

'Those who listen to instructions will prosper; those who trust in the Lord will be joyful' (Proverbs 16:20).

Every day we are faced with decisions and situations that are sometimes overwhelming. How do we handle them? Are we fearful? Look to others for help? Look to self? Or do we hand them over to Jesus? If we look to anyone else than Jesus we will fail. When we put our trust and confidence in God, believing that nothing is too hard for Him and that He cares about all our concerns, we become joyful. We ought to cast ourselves at God's mercy and promises, because we cannot do anything without Him. We need to depend on God's blessing more than our own efforts and be wise when choosing any course of action. We should study God's Word and apply it faithfully to our lives, never handling those decisions and dilemmas we face without trust in God. He will reward us with spiritual happiness. We should learn to trust in God and delight in doing our duty toward Him, it brings us happiness. Our assurance of safety and salvation is only in God, and should lead us to trust Him and listen to His instructions. We should never rely on our own wisdom or strength for anything in life; it will only bring despair in the end. When we put our trust in God, He will not let us down or abandon us. He give His faithful children the Holy Spirit to guide and build them up, and to shed His love in their hearts; that nothing would be able to separate them from His love. Let us therefore, with all wisdom, listen to the instructions of God through His Holy Words and trust Him with all our hearts, so we can be joyful in the Lord.

Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹

 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 ...
