Knowing God Devotional is an online daily devotional written by Andrews Baah Kwafo, the president of The Bible Daily Network.
How you run into a problem isn’t as important as how you respond to it. If you let your mind worry about it, you’ll waste precious time thinking about the effect of your ordeal, and you cannot bring the lost time back. But if you declare God’s Word over it and learn from your mistakes, you shall rise stronger.
No child of God is shielded from facing life issues. The Bible says in James 1:2 “…when (not ‘if’) you fall into trials.” However, how you respond to matters. Count it all joy. See joy in the happening of problems because they have a purpose, which is to test your faith.
Be intentional about putting God first in all things, like how David did it (see Psalm 16:8). Hang on to His promise that He’s with you no matter the storms of life (see Isaiah 43:2), and you’ll be comforted.
To maintain a merry heart, never forget to soak good words from the Word of God and spiritual songs frequently.
Study the Bible as a parent. Let God’s Word permeate your spirit, soul and body so that God will inspire you to set up godly structures and systems to train up your child (or children) in your home.
Steward your own body in a godly manner because it’s God’s, not yours. Live unto God, and don’t let anyone pressure you to do ungodly things with your body.
God has several ways of protecting you from evil. But one of the common ways He administers this duty is by loading you with daily kingdom tasks to keep you busy.
If your predecessors failed to live like Jesus, you’re not obliged to follow that trend. Live with intentionality, knowing very well that the builder of your life is Jesus.
We’re called in Christ to walk in good works (Ephesians 2:10). Therefore, it’s not God’s will for any of us to use faintness as an excuse to walk in this reality. Watch your life closely. Expel the negative influence in your life by divine wisdom, and keep praying.
Let God reveal your purpose to you and give your maximum time to fulfil it by continually serving others before time catches up with your age.
If you asked God for strength, then He allowing you to face life challenges to come out victoriously on each occasion is the only way to prove to you that He has answered your prayers. It’s not God’s will to make you suffer afflictions. However, He uses them to empower you by giving you victory. Lean on God.
A selfless leader like Moses isn’t mindful of what he can get from his labours even if he has a lot of privileges. And because of this understanding, they don’t mind sacrificing their comforts and abandoning the enjoyment of their privileges to endure present hardships for a glorious future benefit.
