JOY

  JOY John 16:16-24  Devotional:- “Most assuredly, I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; and you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.” (V. 20) NKJV God’s word says when sorrow endures till a night, joy comes in the morning (Psalms 30:5). This is an assurance and evidence that what is called sorrow is not a permanent situation in the life of a child of God. This is because it is certain that when a night comes, morning is always the next. The night is evidence of the coming morning. This is evidence that what you are going through right now will soon result in joy. In fact, the tougher it is, the closer the joy. May you see it. The scripture we read today gave us a new dimension of hope in our lives. Jesus said, our sorrow shall turn to joy. That which we think is a thing of sorrow shall suddenly become a thing of joy. Jesus likens it to a woman who is in labour. Women in this state often feel as if the end has come. But ...

COMPLETE TRUST

COMPLETE TRUST

Scripture Reading: Psalms 40:1-8
Devotional:- “He has put a new song in my mouth — Praise to our God; Many will see it and fear, And will trust in the Lord” (V. 3)

    Our act of total trust in God is an act of honour and worship to Him. When children trust their parents, the parents are pleased. So, also is God. Today, many feel it’s a waste of time to trust God. Many mocks when you say you are trusting God. This is because they don’t know what it means to trust God. It is not an irresponsible statement, neither an idle statement.

The word of God says God take pleasure in those who trust in Him (Psalms 147:11).  The word says, in God I will praise His word, in God I have put my trust. Trusting God is an act of praises to God (Psalms 56:4). To trust God completely mean you put your hope and faith in Him. The word of God says concerning Abraham that he hoped in God even when there is no reason to hope (Romans 4:18-22). The word of God says this pleases God and was counted to him for righteousness.

Friend, you need to observe the areas of your life where you need to trust God. You must be willing to put your hope in Him. This pleases the Lord just like an hundred songs of praises. This is living by seeing God capable of performing His words in our lives. Trust in God is trust in His words to act on his instructions. This is the responsibility of trust and faith. You will not fail in Jesus name (Psalms 125: 1-5). Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to always trust on you

“TRUST IN GOD IS BETTING YOUR LIFE ON GOD’S FAITHFULNESS”
