Insightful Devotion

Whatever you're going through right now.  It is important for you to understand that GOD, has already delivered you.  It may not make since to you at this moment, but it is something you will understand soon.  GOD's finished work at the cross allows us to be for certain that whatever we've faced in the past, facing presently or will face in the future.  GOD has already gone before you and you've already been delivered.  We must believe it and receive it knowing that GOD is faithful and will keep his word.

In order for us to get free from distractions.  We must admit that we can't get free without the help of our heavenly father and we must believe that he will help us get free from distractions that are constantly taking away our attention from him.  Psalm 107:28 says, “Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and he brought them out of their distress.” So today, it’s time for us to get free and free indeed, just as Jesus Christ desires us to be.

Psalm 118:24 says, “This is the day that the Lord has made: let us rejoice and be glad in it.”  So the next time you feel defeated, sad, overwhelmed and burden with circumstances that cause anxiety, worry and stress.  Remember you have the victory in Christ Jesus.  Psalm 68:19 says, “Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens.”  Be Blessed, Stay Blessed, Because You Are Blessed!!! 

Luke 24:6-7 says, “He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, saying, ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.”  So whatever you are faced with today.  Give it to Jesus and he will take care of you and even if something seems to be dead, he has the power to resurrect it.

Romans 15:13 says, “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”  That same power that gives us overflow of HOPE comes from the HOLY SPIRIT; that raised Christ from the dead and who is now seated at the right hand of GOD.  How do we access this hope?  Well, I’m glad you asked.  In today's message on hope I discuss how we can access this hope, how we can continue to hope and how we can spread hope to others.

The world may be facing a pandemic and fear seems to be creeping up in several places.  However, there is still hope for us!  Psalm 27:1,3 says, “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?  The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?”  “Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.”

If you are in a situation that seems too big for you, it drives you crazy, leaves you disoriented, makes it hard for you to sleep, and makes you want to give up.  Then this episode is for you.  Psalms 34:19 says, “The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all.”

When we listen and fear the Lord.  It is then we can become aware of our distractions and will be able to understand; how GOD wants us to handle them.

When we complain to God for things going on within our lives; yet we do not remind ourselves of God as David did within the book of Psalms.  Then our complaining shows us, that we are lacking trust in GOD.

When the Lord instructs us to do something for him and we haven’t done it yet.  We cannot expect our current situations to get better until we become obedient, by being hearers and doers of his holy word.
