HOPING IN GOD

  HOPING IN GOD Psalms 71:4-14  Devotional:- “For You are my hope, O Lord GOD; You are my trust from my youth” (V.5) NKJV In today's world, many people are finding it difficult to put their hope in God. This is because they have waited for a few times, which to them is rather too long (Proverbs 13:12). And now they’ve made their calculation that if they have hoped in God for these three years and nothing is coming forth, then what is the need for continuing to hope? It is why many people in civilised nations have been living their lives unwilling to carry God along. We often forget that without Him we can do nothing (John 15:5). Everything we can do or shall do should be by His permission. The most common error among Christians is that we often don’t understand the power of hope or the difference between hope and faith. Hope is consistently keeping in mind the promises God has made to us, because we know He can do what He has promised (Hebrews 10:23). This helps us grow in wis...

NEVER LOOK BACK

NEVER LOOK BACK

Luke 9:57-62
"But Jesus said to him, No one, having put hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God" (V. 62)

   

     Indecision is one of the characteristics of failure and can result to double defeat. So, a single focus is Important for anyone that will succeed. Every one that will enjoy the kingdom grace must be determined to follow, not withstanding. Most people that are found in the church today have not really come to a point of conclusion whether to follow the Lord or not to follow the Lord. Many are only attracted by bread and cake. Such people want to follow Him only when He is good to them. They will love Him as much as it is rosy and the going is well. One of their legs are inside and the other outside. Any little thing could make them tum back from following Him.

Though there is no time that God is not good to us, but God is always interested in building and training us for the challenges of the future. Most of such times look odd to us. And it looks as if God has deserted us. No matter how we see Him, He is always Good (Psalm 100:5). There are just two basic experiences in life: peace and trouble and God is the giver of peace. You are to decide what to enjoy. lf you are going to be a victor in the strength of God then you have got to take the decision to follow Him notwithstanding. Storms will come, wind will blow, but never allow your faith to be shaken.

Don't forget He is always with you (Isaiah 43:2, Roman 8:31). And that is why no situation can swallow you. Make the decision today and God will uphold you by His right hand (Isaiah 41:10).

Prayer: Lord, help me to keep my focus on you alone
