Daily Devotional: July 5 – Be Curious

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding – Psalm 111:10

Moses was chosen by God to go to Egypt as a Prophet in part because he was awed by a burning bush and decided to turn aside to investigate the reason. To fear the Lord is to have an awe of the Lord. And just like Moses, that awe should lead to us to thirst for knowledge about all things that pertain to God. The knowledge we gain from our curiosity of God in turn leads us to have good understanding so that we can apply knowledge wisely and walk in wisdom. How curious are when it comes to the things of God? Remember that God is all knowing and can shed light on all areas of your life! In which area of life do you need wisdom? Remember to study the word of God afresh in that area and you will start to gain understanding! Don’t relegate God to having impact on few areas of your life (e.g. healing or morality). Go to Him for your relationship, finance, and all your needs. Be curious about what He says in all areas of your life to gain understanding. When you gain understanding, you will begin to walk in wisdom. And when you gain understanding is when you will see your life soar!

I will experience the awesomeness of God in new areas of my life as I study His word with an open heart

Daily Devotional: July 4 – A Just God

The works of his hands are faithful and just; all his precepts are trustworthy – Psalm 111:7

The bible teaches us that God abhors cheating and unfair treatment. It also teaches that God does not show partiality but that He is a just God as further evidenced by today’s verse. So why are there people who have a worldview that God will act unjustly and will favor a group of people unfairly just because they belong to Him? Biblical history does not support this view. The bible tells us that the people of God suffered consequences when they acted waywardly. Moses warned then that this would happen and cautioned them to choose God’s way. Apostle Paul mentioned that we reap what we sow. Apostle Peter mentioned that he perceived that God does not show partiality. Friend, we should not take the truth that God loves us deeply as a license to rebel against God and treat people unfairly. If we see anything happening around the world that is unjust, then we know that God’s hand is not in it, no matter how much people would like to spin a tale of history or lineage to justify it. God is just! This has never changed and will never change.

God does not sanction actions that are unfair and unjust
