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

Daily Devotional: October 25 – A Good God

The Lord is good to all, and His tender mercies are over all His works – Psalm 145:9

God is merciful to us because He is good and not because we are good! Some aspects of His goodness are felt by all, regardless of whether we are close to Him or we fail to acknowledge His existence. He embedded His goodness into His creation (the earth) so that all may benefit. As an example, after the Great Flood, He decreed that there will always be seedtime and harvest time so long as the earth remains. He did not say seedtime and harvest time is based on people acknowledging Him. In ancient times, the economy was agriculture-based. Thus, people could survive and thrive economically without acknowledging God. Why would God do this? Is it because He is good and merciful to all. He is kind to the unthankful and evil (Luke 6:35). He wants no one to perish but for all to have the opportunity to know Him. If we are to be like God, then we also have to grow to be merciful to those who are not deserving.

I choose to be merciful to all as God is merciful to all
