The Preacher says in Proverbs 14:34a that righteousness exalts a nation. And when I check the meaning of the word “exalt,” it means upliftment. That means it takes right living before God by individuals in a nation for God to lift that nation to glory.
If you don’t know how to pray in the quiet moments or at any moment of your life, begin with just calling on the name of the Lord. His name is powerful and can be an anchor to you in various points of need in your life.
There is no issue, no problem or any life atrocity that happens that you cannot bear it. If you can’t, God won’t allow it to happen to you. By the way, did you know that sometimes, God allow certain things to happen in your life to reveal unto you that you are stronger than you think?
Anxiety makes you doubt God’s provisions for your life, especially when you aren’t on any payroll. But God’s ways are past finding out. If He can direct what ways ravens should fly in order to get food to eat, then He knows how to provide for you in ways that aren’t in the traditional thinking of man’s ways of getting needs met.
When you pray, have faith for what you are praying for. Don’t pray telling God about your problems, and go back to worrying about the same issues you prayed about. It’s a disservice to yourself if you engage in that practice.
Strengthening your faith through daily acts of worship and service is a journey—a lifelong process of drawing closer to God and living out His love in the world. It’s about consistently seeking God in every area of your life, from the quiet moments of prayer to the hands-on service of others.
Jesus said whoever follows Him will never walk in darkness. That means the spiritual illumination Jesus will supply to you for following Him will never make you end up stuck or confused in life. So, the moment you experience stagnancy in your life as a Christian, know that it is time to get back to God so that He can show you what to do.
Proverbs 3:25 says you should have no fear of sudden disaster or the ruin that overtakes the wicked. Why? Verse 26 gives us the reason. That is, God will be at your side and will keep your foot from being snared. Isn’t that great news? You ought to have absolute confidence in God for your life and not be limited by what fear always suggests.
If you don’t want to end up disgraced in life, don’t put your trust in people or even technology. People will fail you. Even more, since machines are designed by people, all of them aren’t a hundred percent effective. Always put your trust in God, for He is the perfect One to hold every area of your life in the right shape.
The word of God will never expire. If you don’t believe this, consider how long the scriptures have tarried. It is the same Bible we are using today that has existed for centuries yet hasn’t lost a single bit of power and relevance. Do you think God will ever fail you? No!
You have the power to control how technology influences your life. Let’s make the choice today to use our devices, social media, and online spaces not just for entertainment, but for spiritual growth, encouragement, and a deeper relationship with God. Amidst the distractions, you can still find peace, purpose, and direction in Christ.
Knowing what the sure Word of God is helps you to take Him by His words and never give up. It is time to believe in each and everything the Word of God says, and by so doing, you will grow in your relationship with God. Amen.
