You Are God's Child

 

July 19

YOU ARE GOD’S CHILD – Why are you God’s child? Always remember that you are called, child of God, only because of His lavish, saving love for you. It has absolutely nothing to do with you, or with your works - good or bad - that God calls you His child. Why suddenly let your unworthy self, be a hindrance to being a child of God? You were always unworthy. Turn to God, repent and receive His pardoning grace.

 

Father, I am Your sinful child, forgive me and help me please. Amen!

 

Read Psalm 103: 8 - 14

 

 

Safe With Jesus

 

I’m safe with Jesus in life and in death,

In the highest heights or the deepest depth,

For what can snatch me from His loving arms?

Amidst life’s evils, all my fears He calms,

My Jesus is Lord over all the earth,

All other powers are of little worth,

Naught can compare with Jesus my refuge,

When trials are insurmountably huge,

When all around me, troubles mount and pile,

And temptations come, they last but a while,

For I’m assured of Christ’s strength given me,

To resist the devil and he will flee,

And when I’m too weak a burden to bear,

As I’m laden down with many a care,   

When each new day brings with it new sorrows,

And worry would mark my brow with furrows,

I hide in Jesus, under His safe wings,

And receive the calm and comfort it brings,

To trust in Jesus: Unspeakable peace!

Safe in Jesus, my soul knows sweet release.

Amen!

 

Quench Your Thirst

 

July 18

QUENCH YOUR THIRST – Are you thirsty? Then listen!

No one need go hungry and none need thirst,

As springs of living water on the earth doth burst,

Ever flowing are the waters which the Lord has sent,

They will not dry out nor will they be spent;

Beasts of the field, He supplies with water,

He’ll supply you from His fount, forever.

 

Thank You Holy Spirit, for being our everlasting fountain of life-giving water. Amen!

Read Psalm 104: 10 - 11

 

Eyes On God

 

July 17

EYES ON GOD – Are you going through a period of unrelenting attacks in body, mind and spirit? Do you feel as though you are being ambushed, morning, noon and night? Human efforts to help you have proven unsuccessful and the situation is getting progressively worse. Look up to God! Lift your weak, frightened, helpless eyes to Him and He will acknowledge you. He will not neglect you.

 

To You I lift up my eyes O Lord, for there is no one else to help me, but You. There is no other power and authority to save me from the enemy. Amen!

 

Read Psalm 123

 

 

The Son's Love

 

July 16

THE SON’S LOVE – Have you realized that when God the Son left His glorious place and position in heaven, He had to stoop low, to come to earth? Do you know that He became nothing, emptying Himself of everything, but Love, to save a sinful, ungrateful world - you and me - from everlasting hell? Even now, in this precious moment, why not give Him full praise and thanks.

 

Holy Spirit, keep my heart ever thankful and ever humbled before the 

Name of Jesus, our Redeemer and Saviour. Amen! 

 

Read Psalm 9: 1 - 2

 

 

God Against Your Enemy

 

July 15

GOD AGAINST YOUR ENEMY – When the Lord is fighting for you, who can claim victory over you? Even when the enemy is powerful, with unifying strength of arms, will not that power also have to bow to the One, Almighty Power - God? One day, Israel’s enemies thought their God could only fight for them in one setting, but O how utterly mistaken they were. God, against any of your enemies at any time and in any place is guaranteed defeat to the enemy forces. Rejoice in your enemy-defeating God.

 

God of all power and might, with You fighting for me, I claim every victory to Your Name and Honour. Amen!  

 

Read 1 Kings 20: 23 - 28

 

 

God Is Your Father

 

July 14

GOD IS YOUR FATHER - If God has said that He is your Heavenly Father, a Father whose love for you is unsurpassed, then ought you not to live as a child of God? God your Father says that He will work all things out for your good. Why not believe Him? It is from Him you have all things, even your life, through His Son Jesus. Stop living as though your life belongs to another.

 

 

Father in Heaven, teach me how to live as Your trusting child. Amen!

 

Read 1 Corinthians 8: 6

 

 

 

Our Enabler

 

July 13

OUR ENABLER – There are times when you know that you can’t go on any further. These are occasions when your feet would very nearly stall on you, because of enemies, legions of them, attacking you from all sides. Without warning, they have pounced upon you and terrible fears take hold. Remember, you have a God who has promised to be your strength and help in times such as these. Look to Him! He will strengthen your feet and keep you surmounting all that’s before you.

 

Give God the glory, the praise and the thanks, for He is always ready and waiting to help those who seek Him. Amen!

 

Read Habakkuk 3: 19a

 

Why Fret

 

Why fret about things which do not matter

When God has promised you what is better?

Why spend your time on corruptible things

When God, unsearchable riches yet brings?

Wealth of this world, things that are temporal,

Must not take the place of what’s eternal,

You tire and stress on what is fleeting,

What will you say at that great, grand meeting?

 

Why war and argue for your earthly right

When that is not really your pilgrim fight?

Why spend so much energy, night and day,

Striving for this world’s diminishing pay?

God has called you to Him, through His Own Son,

Who saved you with a work, completely done,

He bought and brought you out of sin's mire,

Why still carry such worldly desire?

 

Beware of your life, what your striving’s about,

That for which you are faithful and devout, 

In this world’s sight they are proper and wise,

But in God’s sight they are your sure demise,

For when King Jesus comes, at time unknown,

Will you be one who by Him will be known?

Jesus is coming, sooner than you think,

Will you to heaven rise, or to hell sink?

Amen!
