Daily Devotional: January 28 – Prevention or Cure

Do not be like the horse or like the mule, which have no understanding, which must be harnessed with bit and bridle, else they will not come near you – Psalm 32:9

Are you struggling to go to church? Is it hard for you to attend your fellowship group despite the fact that you don’t have unescapable commitments? It is easy to forget that we need God, especially when the circumstances and situations in our lives are positive and rosy. For some of us, it is only when we have been harnessed or taken captive by the troubles of life do we draw near to God again. Those who have understanding know that prevention is better than cure. It is better to seek God before we start experiencing marital problems. It is better to raise our children in the ways of God instead of introducing them to God when they have become rebellious! Those who have understanding don’t just go to God when they think they need Him. They know that they need Him every second of every day. We should go to Him constantly because we love Him and He loves us. Our fellowship with Him should not be born of necessity but born of loving desire. Your reward for seeking Him is not simply a beautiful relationship but a life that is more peaceful as His advice leads you out of many troubles.

I need God every minute of every day
