OBEDIENCE TO GOD IN A DIFFICULT
SITUATION WILL ULTIMATELY BEAR
FRUIT; EVEN THOUGH IT MIGHT
IMMEDIATELY CAUSE HARDSHIP.
Lord God, according to Your word, if I wholeheartedly commit whatever I do to You, my plans will succeed (Prov. 16:3). I acknowledge that the heart of committing any plan to You is seeking Your plan.
Show me the right path, Father!
Please help me not to merely listen to the Word, and so deceive myself. Help me to do what it says (James 1:22). Your Word works, but if I am to experience it personally, I must be obedient. I need Your help, Lord.
When Your words come to me, help me to eat them. Make them my joy and my heart’s delight, for I bear Your name, Lord God Almighty (Jer. 15:16). Increase my appetite for Your Word, my sufficiency!
Beth Moore, Praying God’s Word Day by Day
Another great devotional from Beth Moore from last week that is still lingering in my heart. I just thought I’d share it.
WE WERE CREATED FOR THE PURPOSE OF GIVING CHRIST’S INVISIBLE CHARACTER A GLIMPSE OF VISIBILITY.
Lord, many have run this difficult race faithfully. I want to be among them.
Therefore, since I am surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses,
help me throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles,
and help me run with perseverance the race marked out for me.
Help me to fix my eyes on You, Jesus, the author and perfecter of my faith,
who for the joy set before You endured the cross, scorning its shame,
and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God (Heb. 12:1-2).
As a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so will you, My God, rejoice over me at Your appearing (Isa. 62:5).
