TOPIC: GOD WILL NEVER ABANDON THE RIGHTEOUS

TEXT: Psalm 46:1-7

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.  Therefore will not we fear, though the earth is removed, and though the mountains are carried into the midst of the sea;  Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.  There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the Highest.  God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.  The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.  The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

KEY VERSE: Psalm 145:18 The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. 

When you pass through the travails of life, you may begin to think that God has abandoned you or that God is far away from you. This is not necessarily so. He may be closer to you than you ever imagined. You may think this way because you are not fully aware of the involvement of God in your experience. 

In some moments of Job’s season of trials, he got confused too. His friends also concluded that God must have abandoned him because of his sins. But the outcome showed that they were all wrong! God will never abandon His children. 1 Samuel 12:22 For the LORD will not forsake his people for his great name's sake: because it hath pleased the LORD to make you his people. 

A story was told of a righteous man who had a vision in which he had the opportunity to look backward to see his walk through life. The man saw four footsteps instead of two footsteps as he walked along. In the vision, he asked the Lord why there were four footsteps, which meant that he was not alone. The Lord told him He never left him alone and that He walked and went with him everywhere and anywhere he went. 

Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and of good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. 

The man was amazed and said if he had known that the Lord was always with him, he wouldn’t have exercised any fear throughout his life. Looking more diligently, he discovered there were places where he found only two footsteps instead of four. He observed that those were the trying moments of his life and wondered why the Lord had abandoned him in those turbulent seasons to face his challenges alone. 

He began to imagine what he could have done wrong to make the Lord abandon him in those days. But the Lord told him that was not the case. Contrarily, those were very difficult days of his life when the Lord had carried him in His arms, hence the two footsteps he was seeing on the sand was the Lord’s. Praise the Lord! 

Thought for the day: God is faithful to His promises.

Song for the day: He will not let me down…He is never weary and He would not let me down

Bible reading for the day: Exodus 4-6; Matthew 16

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

  REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN. PRAY CONSTANTLY                                                                      FRIDAY 11 MARCH TEXT: Luke 18: 1-7 Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Pray without ceasing. I wish My children, whilst upon earth, to live more and more with Me in “the heavenly places”. Here, there is no fear or hurry or fret of spirit. I am gratified when you wait upon Me –which waiting I always honour. My thoughts, as you wait upon Me, are impressed upon you: all that I am must be increasingly absorbed by you. It is as you wait upon Me that I give to you that sense of calm assurance which you must carry about with you always. It comes from knowing that everything you have committed to Me is being surely worked out. Yes, immerse yourself in Me –and do ...
