Knowing God Devotional is an online daily devotional written by Andrews Baah Kwafo, the president of The Bible Daily Network.
God’s Word clearly says in Joel 3:10 that “…Let the weakling say, ‘I am strong!’ ”. That means, even though you may feel weak, it is your words that will propel you up to be on your feet. So, words have the creative power to turn situations around.
Don’t be too selfish with what God is doing through you to help others. He will be there for you but plans to bless you for the sake of others to benefit from you. Let go of yourself to embrace God so that He will transform you and make you desire to do His will every day of your life.
Enough of the doubts and worries. They will do you no good when you keep holding on to it. Your life may have been plagued with several atrocities. But God is on your side. He will not watch you to be ashamed. He will never leave nor forsake you. Hope in Him and keep your head straight. It is well with you.
Are there things you are genuinely grateful to God for? Maybe yes, maybe not. But as a child of God, even though you may not have all the things you desire, you should be able to tell of the kindnesses of the Lord.
If people are disregarding you today, seeing your life as somehow worthless because of bad situations that have plagued you, I just want to tell you that don’t lose hope in God. He will restore you and beautify your life, so much so that people will start celebrating your lifting when the time comes.
In Isaiah 2:22, the Lord issued a stern warning to all people. Even though it was a prophecy initially directed towards the Israelites, it still applies to us today. He said that we should stop trusting in mere humans, who have but a breath in their nostrils. Think about this.
God chooses to exalt whoever He wills. He rules in the affairs of men. Anything that has somehow become like an idol (something highly regarded and prioritised above God) to man will be brought to nothing in the end. So, don’t let what you have deceive you into thinking that there’s no God.
Victory rests with the Lord, although your preparation time is essential. Because of this, it is not right to say, “There is no God.” Those people who say that fail to recognise how God has been merciful to them, even though they may not know Him. Don’t let that be your story!
In life, you may have issues with others. Such problems can happen at home, church, workplace or anywhere people gather. However, if you listen to people carefully, you can present your opinion more clearly.
Do you know that many problems people face are a result of the things they say? Yes. When you keep declaring negativity in your life, negative things will keep happening. But when you are positive in mind and in speech, your life will turn out better over time.
When you are leading people who love you, it is better and quite easier because such followers will defend you when something bad happens. And when you have faithful associates, you’ll worry less about betrayal and skipping work because such subordinates will do what they are assigned.
The scripture says in Proverbs 20:27 that the human spirit is the lamp of the Lord. Because of that, it sheds light on a person’s inmost being. That means that our spirit, when made alive by the power of the Holy Spirit upon receiving salvation, becomes the central director of our lives, capable of showing us the next step to take.
