Insightful Devotion

Oftentimes, when storms come to us we tend to grow weary, and forget the promises that God has spoken over us.  It’s in those times we must continually speak the word of God, to the storms we face and know that this too shall pass.

How do you know if you’re being told the truth or a lie?  How do you know that you are loved or hated?  How do you know what’s truly being said behind the words of an individual?  Well, we are given some profound words within Luke 6:44 it tells us that, "Each tree is known by its fruit.  You don’t pick figs from thorny plants or grapes from a thornbush."

The Creator of the Universe truly loves us and cares for us and doesn’t want us running on empty, but for us to be filled with his Holy Spirit so that we will never lack or become empty again.  With that being said it’s time for us to get serious and re-evaluate what’s going on within us and around us, because we can allow ourselves to get distracted not realizing what is mentioned within Exodus 34:14 & 17 it says, “(Never worship any other god, because the Lord is a God who does not tolerate rivals.  In fact, he is known for not tolerating rivals.) “Never make an idol.” So spend time with God, in his Holy Word every chance you get and watch your life turn around for the better.

We have a tendency to hold on to things that do us more harm than good.  So could it be that maybe, we have become blind so to speak; to the things that are holding us back and we are not truly understanding what we're needing to do, in order to get free?  Well, in this episode I will be discussing various scriptures that will give us the chance to carefully determine what pleases the Lord.

In this episode, I share various scriptures from the Bible that gives us hope in uncertain times and tells us how our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, comforts us.

Deception will keep us blind and have us believing the lies from the enemy.  So when life gets hard and we grow tired and are faced with trials and temptations.  It’s important for us to ask the Lord for help, believing that he will come through.  For James 1:21-25 says, “So get rid of all immoral behavior and all the wicked things you do. Humbly accept the word that God has placed in you.  This word can save you. Do what God’s word says.  Don’t merely listen to it, or you will fool yourselves.  If someone listens to God’s word but doesn’t do what it says, he is like a person who looks at his face in a mirror, studies his features, goes away, and immediately forgets what he looks like.  However, the person who continues to study God’s perfect laws that make people free and who remains committed to them will be blessed.  People like that don’t merely listen and forget; they actually do what God’s laws say.”

As the, "Destiny Series," comes to an end.  We see how God’s, word will never return unto him void, because David, becomes the King Of Israel.

In our destiny we will face moments of testing and temptation.  That’s why it’s important for us to be hearers and doers of God's Holy Word, because he leads and guides us.  So when your time of testing and temptation is presented before you, as it was for David.  What will be the outcome of your character?  After all, Proverbs 4:23 says, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it."

What do you do when you’ve been promised things like David, yet there is little to anything showing or coming to pass regarding your destiny.  Well, we are to continuously trust in the Lord our God, knowing that his plans are for good and not for harm.  Regardless, of the circumstances that are happening in us, around us, to us or that may come from us.  We must transform our minds, believing that God is still in control of our Destiny.

The Lord was with David, making him successful in everything Saul, had commanded David to do.  However, every time Saul was reminded of David's success he became jealous and very angry towards David, whom he had once loved.
