Daily Devotional: November 4 – Careful Way

He has not dealt thus with any nation; and as for His judgments, they have not known them – Psalm 147:20

As a holy nation of believers, we are privileged to have insight into the decisions that God is about to take because we are close to Him. We talk to Him and He talks to us; we understand something of his nature and character, which does not change. We know which decision goes against his will, and which does not. The world does not know this. They confuse what is evil for what is good; what is right for what is wrong. They make their own plans and do things with their own strength and fall short. Therefore, we should be careful about following the things that we see around us; we should be careful about following the ways of the world. We should test to see if the ways we see around us are aligned with the principles of God.

As a child of God, I can distinguish between good and evil, regardless of how they are portrayed.

Daily Devotional: November 3 – Disunity Creates Delay

He sends out His command to the earth; His word runs very swiftly – Psalm 147:15

When God speaks, the Holy Spirit carries His words and accomplishes the very thing that the He has spoken. When God speaks, there is no confusion on the part of the Holy Spirit, there is no questioning, and there is no delay. The three members of the godhead – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – are always aligned with one another. This is why the scripture tells us that God is One. Wherever there is unity, purpose gets accomplished quickly. The scripture shows the power of oneness in the story of the Tower of Babbel. While that failed due to their purpose being against the will of God, it shows that nothing is impossible when people unite under the umbrella of purpose. The problem we have today in the world is not that the issues we face are insurmountable, the real problem we face is disunity. Disunity creates delay

God’s will gets done in my life when I unite my will with His.

Daily Devotional: November 2 – No Money Problems

He makes peace in your borders, and fills you with the finest wheat – Psalm 147:14

Just about every great empire that collapsed first imploded due to internal strife and issues. To quell such internal strife, most decided to wage wars as a way to create solidarity within and temporarily distract from the real issues. Yet, this strategy did not work in the long run as the internal issues caused them to make enemies externally and caused enemies to rise from within as the wealth of the empire declined. Without God, as empires become wealthier, they start to yield to avarice and other vices that cause their destruction. In this verse, we see that things are different with God. With God, empires get the benefit of living in prosperity (being filled with the finest wheat) while leaving peacefully. It is said that problems accompany money. With God, there is no such thing as more money, more problems within your family empire.

When I live in Him, I can prosper without experiencing soul poverty.

Daily Devotional: November 1 – Great Exploits

He does not delight in the strength of the horse; He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man – Psalm 147:10

When the Lord wants to partner with people to do His will, He is not looking at how strong and powerful we are. Rather, He is looking at how humble and obedient we are. Humility and obedience are what enabled Jesus to fulfill his purpose on earth (see Philippians 2:5-9). It is why Mary and Joseph were chosen as Jesus’ earthly parents. God does not look at our capabilities because our capabilities pale in comparison to His ability. He is rather interested in people who will yield to Him so that His ability can flow through them. This is great news! We don’t have to be impressive and outstanding to achieve incredible exploits. Incredible exploits flow from yielding to Him and standing our ground in Him when trials and tribulations come.

The key to success in life is humility and obedience

Daily Devotional: October 31 – Praise Kills Pride

Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praises on the harp to our God – Psalm 147:7

Throughout the book of Psalm, you will find king David emphasizing that we should sing praises to God. As I thought of it, I realized a few things: It keeps us from taking credit for things that God has accomplished for us, through us, or in us. It keeps pride away and puts us in a posture of humility. It helps us to maintain an attitude of gratitude. Thus, praise keeps us from pride, arrogance, boasting, and gives honor where honor is due. Friend, praise is beneficial in your relationship with both God and people. Praise enables you to keep God first and central in your life and helps you to have better relationships with people as it shows that you value them. To conclude, note that praise and flattery are different. Flattery is a selfish act that aims to gain something while praise comes from a sincere heart that recognizes the value people add. Choose praise over flatter.

I will give praise to whom praise is due

Daily Devotional: October 30 – Faith to Faith

The Lord builds up Jerusalem; He gathers together the outcasts of Israel – Psalm 147:2

Spiritually within the context of the dispensation of grace, Jerusalem, which means the city of peace, represents the church while Israel, which means prince with God, represents Christians. When we take a look at Psalm 147:2 within this context, we see that it is saying that it is the Lord Jesus that builds the church. He builds it on the rock of Him being the Son of God. It is He who touches the heart of those who are out of the sheepfold and brings them into a relationship with Him so that He becomes their Good Shepherd. He is also the One who builds us up (spiritually strengthens the church). Hence, He is not just the author of our faith, He is also the finisher of our faith. He will finish the work He has started in us. All we need to do is give in to Him.

The Lord who made me His is also going to build my faith in Him

Daily Devotional: October 29 – Bail or Bless

Do not put your trust in princes, nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help – Psalm 146:3

If you live in a democracy, then you live according to the dictate of what is popular among the people, for people vote in those individuals who spew what they want to hear. If the people’s interest as enlightened by God, then great. If the people stray from godly values, then the politicians stray from those values, and the policies become ungodly. Unlike politics, which is about popularity and public sway, God’s power is not derived from people, nor does He need people to wield power. He can accomplish His will regardless of what people think or what they do. This is why we should put our trust in Him! Governments come and go; regimes rise and fall; but God stays constant and steadfast.

I can either wait for a government to bail me out or wait on God to bless me inside and out

Daily Devotional: October 28 – Lucky or Looking

He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He also will hear their cry and save them – Psalm 145:19

Those who fear the Lord are those who pay attention to Him and gaze at Him – to watch his every step and every move. They do not let their attention stray from His principles and truth. These are the people who call upon Him in truth, for they know Him. These are the people who experience His presence and power in their lives. These are also the people whose desires are fulfilled, for their desires are aligned with His desires. These people have developed a deep relationship with God. They are not looking to get their way but are looking to get out of the way (in humility) so that He can get His way. People call them lucky. But if you ask them, they will say that their lives are not about being lucky but about looking up to God. Let us commit to choosing to be one of these people! Let us look Him so that we may live according to his choice instead of according to chance.

The more I look up to God, the ‘luckier’ I become

Daily Devotional: October 27 – Truth of Prayer

The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth – Psalm 145:18

Why does God answer some prayers while some prayers seem to remain unanswered? The answer is often found in whether we are calling on Him in truth. Since the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth, to call upon God in truth is to pray according to the desire of the Spirit. As we get closer to God, our desires mimic the desires of God and so our prayers are more likely to be answered. [sometimes we have a part to play in answered prayer and sometimes we don’t]. When David says the Lord is near to those who call on Him in truth, he reminds us that God makes His presence felt in the lives of those who pray according to His will (His name). This might be in the form of supernatural occurrences (miracles) or it might be as simple as having a brilliant idea or strategy.

God partners with me and makes His power available to me when I pray according to His will

Daily Devotional: October 26 – Never Forsaken

The Lord upholds all who fall, and raises up all who are bowed down – Psalm 145:14

Have you royally messed up? When we mess up badly, it is not unusual for us to lose our friends, lose our relationships, or even lose close members of our family. No matter how bad things get, we should know that there is one person that will always be there – God. Just as with the woman who was caught in the act of adultery (John 8:1-11), God is not there to condemn us but to redeem us. He is not the accuser of the fallen but the defender of the fallen. He is the one that remains there with His hands stretched out to help us back to our feet. He is not keeping a score of how good or bad we have been. His capacity to forgive, reconcile, and restore is infinite. No matter how bad things may get, know that you are not alone. He is there with you, and He is there for you. All you need to do is take His hand and let Him lead you in His way.

Though my sin may be great, God’s grace is greater
