Devotions

“The Angel of the LORD said to her, Return to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hand.” Genesis 16:9

The LORD says the same to us simply submit unto Him. Follow His instruction and direction, with that life will always be easier.

“Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” James 4:7

A amazing thing happens when we submit unto the LORD, and trust Him and not our own understanding. Things always seem to work out when we step out in faith and trust the LORD.

“For we walk by faith, not by sight.” 2 Corinthians 5:7

Let us submit unto the LORD today and walk in faith, trusting He has it all worked out! Have a blessed day.

“And he believed in the LORD, and He accounted it to him for righteousness.” Genesis 15:6

We all from time to time have moments of unbelief, were we have doubts that the LORD is there. Here the word makes it real simple all we have to do is believe!

“Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, LORD, I believe; help my unbelief.” Mark 9:24

If we are having doubts moments of unbelief all we have to do is call upon the LORD, and He is there to help us!

“Save, LORD! May the King answer us when we call.”

Psalm 20:9

So today no matter what is going on, just simply call on the LORD and believe He is hearing and working things out! Have a blessed day.

“And there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of lot’s livestock. The Canaanites and the Perizzites then dwelt in the land.” Genesis 13:7

Here we see Abraham and Lot’s family of the same tribe and belief system not getting along! Having strife between them, arguing over what the LORD has blessed them with!

“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity!” Psalm 133:1

God has given us all so much but yet we still, argue, whine and complain not about the world but other believers! Like the Canaanites and Pezzites who were watching and laughing at them! Realize the world today is doing the same.

“By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 13:35

Today let us rejoice when we see other ministries being blessed also when we see brothers and sisters doing things we may desire to do! And let us not cut down others even when we may not see eye to eye biblically, the LORD will correct them or may even correct you! Let us love one another as Jesus has told us! Have a blessed day.

“Now the LORD had said to Abram: Get out of your country, From your family And from your fathers house, To a land that I will show you.” Genesis 12:1

We know Abraham didn’t question God,He just packed up and left everything as God called him. What an example of stepping out in faith, just hearing the call of God and doing it!

“For we walk by faith, not by sight.” 2 Corinthians 5:7

Often times when God calls we start making ultimatums; when my bank account is big enough, when my kids get older, and when my house or car is paid off! This isn’t exercising faith! That’s walking by sight!

“So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Romans 10:17

One of the best ways to build our faith is by being in the word of God! Then doing what it’s says!

“For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.” James 2:26

Today the best way to exercise our faith is to hear what the LORD says, and like Abraham just get out there and do it! Have a blessed day.

“Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters; And you who have no money, Come, buy and eat. Yes, Come, buy wine and milk Without money and without price.” Isaiah 55:1

Today everything costs us, even water has a price! What the LORD is saying here I know you thirst, but in me there is no price! I PAID IT!

“On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, If anyone thirst, let him come to Me and drink.” John 7:37

In other words Jesus has everything we need! In the world we will always be left unsatisfied and wanting! In the LORD we will always be filled!

“Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, and your soul shall live; And I will make an everlasting covenant with you – The sure mercies of David.” Isaiah 55:3

Think of it this way God was merciful to David, so He will surely be merciful to you and I. The Bible explains who David was a liar, a adulterer and a murderer, and he was still given mercy! So today let us Incline our ear to the LORD and let Him quench our thirst, it’s free because He already paid the price! Have a blessed day.
