Morning devotional (Day 3)

Every second of every hour of every day, we require God’s presence in our lives. When circumstances in our lives seem out of control and more difficult than we can bear, depend on God and experience his enormous strength and incredible grace. We are encouraged to walk by faith rather than sight, believing God at every step of the way. Take your burdens to the foot of the cross and leave them there if you are tired right now. God promises to give us power when we have rested. Allow God to have complete control and access to your life. And keep in mind that no matter how big our problems are, God is bigger.

Prayer:

Blessed are you, Majestic God, King of all; to you be honor and praised forevermore. You created the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the labor of your hands. You created us in your image in the fullness of time, and in these latter days, you have spoken to us through your Son Jesus Christ; the Word becomes flesh. As we delight in the gift of your presence among us, may the light of your adoration always shine in our hearts, may your Spirit always rejuvenates our lives, and may your praises always be on our tongues! God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit be praised. Amen!

God reveals in order to redeem

The enemy you know is less persuasive than the enemy you don’t know. In most cases, God displays himself to us in dreams or in visions. So whenever God discloses it to you. He is warning you to take a step and to act upon what he revealed. One thing you should perceive is that your enemy is not your neighbor, sister, colleagues, etc. We only have one enemy, which is the devil. Satan is very manipulative and if you aren’t prayerful enough, you’ll end up falling in to his traps. The day you’ll understand, you’ll avoid despising them.

How to depend on Jesus

The things of this world cannot fill the empty space within us; only Christ can complete us. This embodies for us that we need Jesus more than anything else on this planet. God did not put us here to rely on ourselves, but to rely on him for everything. We can't survive without him, which is why the Bible cautions us not to rely on our own understanding, because our understanding can fail us and our hearts can lead us astray. Physically, we may appear to be capable of doing things on our own, but on the inside, we are slowly dying. I don’t know about you, but if you haven't yet accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, it’s not too late. The Bible encourages us in Jeremiah 33:3 that if we call on God, he will answer us and tell us things we don't know. God is waiting for your call today. He is waiting for you to come to him and ask him to show you the way. Here is a short prayer to seek God: Heavenly Father, please forgive me for all of my transgressions against ...

Wait upon the LORD

Life resembles a route. Additionally, there will be stop signs and speed limit or increase signs along the route! I chose to use this analogy because there are times in life when all you have to do is wait on the Almighty. And just get more prayer done when you feel like a situation has triumphed over you. Simply put on the gear and switch it out. There are moments when we may feel as though the Lord is not seeing us, hearing us, or responding to our prayers. We can place all of our faith and belief in the living God at these times. Knowing that the Lord is with us and in charge of our lives allows us to wait on Him with great anticipation. He is going to fulfill his promise. He is going to save us. Even when we are not aware of Him, He is constantly at work for our good (Romans 8:28). Waiting on the Lord is something we can learn through prayer, seeking, active trusting, patience, and courage. When we wait on the Lord, we confidently anticipate a favorable outcome, for which we ...
