WORRY

  WORRY Luke 12:22-31 Devotional:- “And which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?” (v.25) NKJV Another cheap way for the enemy to steal the joy of people on the earth is by making them worry about issues of life. For many, it is difficult to separate worrying from being thoughtful. It is often said by experts that, only a small percentage of men use their brains to solve their problems, and this means the rest take up anxiety and worry. So many people on earth are victims of worry. The truth is that your life is not designed for sorrow. That is why sorrow brings pain to your system. It is alien to your nature. Worry is making a survey of your problems, magnifying your situation and bringing you to a pit of pity. This does no good to no one; it rather increases your fear and failure. It blocks your mind from thinking of a solution, but celebrates your downfall. It always disguises itself as a sincere thought about oneself, but fails to supply the solution. Worry and...

HUMILITY

HUMILITY

Scripture Reading: 2 Samuel 6:12-23
Devotional:-  “Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, "How glorious was the king of Israel today, uncovering himself today in the eyes of the maids of his servants, as one of the base fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!" (V. 20)

    Praises demand humility for it to be genuinely giving to God. Man has been so brainwashed to think there is no need for God, so much, that this pride does not make us to praise Him. The truth is that praising someone will demand that one humbles himself. But in the course of trying to maintain our self-esteem, we often find it difficult to praise God at the expense of our ego.

As David and the children of Israel were bringing the ark of the Lord to the place prepared for it, this was done in much music of praises to God. David the king, then danced in praises to His maker. But this does not fit in to the human mode for a king. We expect kings to behave kingly, but David humbled himself and danced unto God so much that one of his wives, the daughter of King Saul mocked him and the woman remain barren all her lifetime.

Friend, God is not the age mate of any mortal man. So, we must be humbled in other to be able to praise Him. No matter how highly placed a woman might be, when she is with her husband, she is number two and she must be humbled in other to be able to honour the husband (Ephesians 5:23-24). Among ourselves, we can play a kingly role, but when we are with God, please humble yourself that your praises may be acceptable. Peace

PRAYER: Lord, give me a humble heart to praise you

“ONLY THE HUMBLE CAN PRAISE GOD”
