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

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
