Daily Devotional: September 3 – Lost and Found

I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek Your servant, for I do not forget Your commandments – Psalm 119:176

While it is possible to know God’s commandments and still go astray, it is impossible to follow God’s commandments and go astray! Knowing and following are two different things. If we know but do not follow, it is either because we have become prideful or we are fearful. If this is the case, then it is only a matter of time before we go astray like lost sheep. Now, there is no shame in acknowledging that we are lost and that we need God to help us find ourselves. Getting us lost is what fear does. Fear causes us to act in a way that we do not recognize and that is incongruent with who we are in Christ. If you can no longer recognize yourself, it is time to admit you have lost your way and ask Him for help. If you are baffled by what you are doing, then it is time to admit you are lost and ask Him for help. Being honest with himself and humble to ask for help is what the psalmist did. This is what you should do! When you do, God’s love will find you where you are and His love will restore you to wholeness.

You can never be too lost for God not to find you

Daily Devotional: August 10 – Remember God

I remembered Your judgments of old, O Lord, and have comforted myself – Psalm 119:52

Are you experiencing persecution? Are you being repaid evil for good? Have you been abandoned by people who are meant to be your friends? There are times in life when things simply will not go your way; times when you feel lost and alone. In those times, it is important to be able to comfort yourself. There is comfort in remembering God’s goodness. Can you recall the times He has been there for you?  Can you remember how he has brought you through hard times? Remember his decisions concerning you. Remember that you did nothing to deserve God’s salvation, yet God decided to send His Son to lay His life down for you. His judgement over you is mercy and grace. His judgement over you is love. He can be taken at His word when he says He will never leave you nor forsake you. His judgement over you has and always will be underpinned with love. You can rest assured knowing that His love and His mercy towards you will endure forever.

I will remember God for He is there even if no else is there for me
