Daily Devotional: May 2 – Clear Path

Righteousness will go before Him, and shall make His footsteps our pathway – Psalm 85:13

A truly wonderful thing about being a believer is that we do not have to know what to do. We don’t have to lead ourselves; we don’t have to have all the answers. All we need to do is follow the One who knows what to do. We need to look for the imprint of His foot and simply follow the same path. What does this imprint look like? It looks like a life of service to others, a life of passion, a life of fulfilling the call of God on our life, a life of fighting for those who are marginalized, a life of love! Our path becomes clear when God’s heart of love drives our life. The path of love is simple, sure, and satisfying. Conversely, our life path becomes uncertain, unclear, and underwhelming when we are guided by fear, insecurity, doubt, and selfishness. If in doubt about the path of take, simply ask yourself: What would agape love do in this situation? What is the heart of God in this situation? Love always reveals the right path.

My path in life becomes clear when my heart reflects His heart

Daily Devotional: May 1 – Self Defeat

You have forgiven the iniquity of Your people; You have covered all their sin – Psalm 85:2

Do you find yourself saying to yourself that you are not good enough? Do you spend a lot of time comparing yourself to others? Are you always finding fault with yourself? If you can relate, let me ask you: whose standard are you trying to measure up to anyway? Is it yours, others, or God’s standards? The highest standard belongs to God, and it is a standard that God knew that we could never reach. So, He sent His Son to meet that standard on our behalf so that in Him, we meet His standard. What this means is that you have already met the highest standard through Christ. So, take a deep breath and relax. You can stop beating yourself up and start thanking God for the truth that He overlooks our imperfections but looks at Jesus perfection. This should give you the freedom to continue to grow and mature spiritually without the specter of judgement lurking in the shadows.

I will neither be depressed by my shortcomings nor be impressed with my strengths because I owe all I am to God

Daily Devotional: April 30 – Our Shield

O God, behold our shield, and look upon the face of Your anointed – Psalm 84:9

Through the writings of Apostle Paul, we know that faith is a shield. When a shield is big, it causes us to live a life that is free from worrying about the attacks that are coming against us. In ancient times, the ocean was a natural shield against enemies. Today, science fiction movies depict invincible shields that protect whole colonies or settlements from attacks. How big is your shield and how sturdy is it? Is your shield of faith weak and small? Have you spent time growing the size and quality of your faith? God desires for us to have a shield of faith so big and comprehensive that we are neither shaken nor moved by the attacks of the enemy. Such faith pleases Him and gets His attention. In a sense, the psalmist in this verse was asking God to look at his faith and reward him for it. The author of Hebrew reminds us that it is impossible to please God without faith. Choose to work on your faith so that it not only wards off the enemy, work on your faith so that your uncommon faith also gets God’s attention.

My trust and belief in God shield me from experiencing a life of emotional turmoil

Daily Devotional: April 29 – Crazy Calm

As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a spring; The rain also covers it with pools – Psalm 84:6

Valley is the word used to describe a depression on the land and Baca means weeping. Therefore, to be in the Valley of Baca is to be in depressed place where there is a lot of weeping. Nobody wants to be depressed, and no one wants to weep. Yet, it is inevitable that we will feel down in the dumps and weep in our lifetime. It is inevitable because we live in a fallen world where bad things happen. Nevertheless, there is good news for those of us whose heart is set towards God. We can experience supernatural power of God as we go through this kind of valley. Though the situation may be bad, our faith in God and our heart attitude keep us flourishing. It is not where we are that makes the difference, it is our heart response to where we are that makes the difference. Choose to focus your attention on God when in the Valley of Baca, and you will flourish as you go through it.

What is happening to me does not have to happen in me. I can experience peace even in a place of chaos and be a source of peace for those experiencing chaos
