29th. August. 2020. Daily Devotion.

The focus today is upon yourself and God

For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, do not fear; I will help you. Isaiah 41:13

Who is God to you?

You may want to turn your thoughts to Psalm 23:1. It states: “The Lord is my shepherd; I have everything I need.”. Paul depended upon the Shepherd to supply his needs. For example, the Shepherd supplied to Paul not only his spiritual needs, but also his nonspiritual needs. The Lord provided to Paul, who was in prison, through the common people in Philippi who were Paul’s “dear brothers and sisters”. They sent “gifts” to him. In a personal letter, written to the Christians in Philippi, Paul stated: “At the moment I have all I need–more than I need! I am generously supplied with the gifts you sent me…This same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from His glorious riches…”. This same Shepherd will take care of you also.

David learned about the Lord through the events in his life. In I Samuel, II Samuel, and the Psalms he presents many examples of who the Lord is to him. A few examples are: God is his refuge; God is his helper; and God is faithful.

In Hebrew, the name of the Lord is “Yahweh Shalom”, which means the Lord is Peace. In John, Jesus stated that He was leaving a gift. That gift is “peace of mind and heart.” He stated that His peace is unlike the peace that the world presents. The peace of Christ provides to you a deep and lasting peace. This is a magnificent gift.

To know who the Lord is to you, be sure to spend special time with the Shepherd. Accept His gift of peace into your heart and soul. Allow Him to be your place of refuge and your helper. The same God who took care of Paul will also take care of you. Be willing to render assistance similar to the examples of the banker and Paul’s “brothers and sisters” in Philippi. Remain secure in the knowledge that the Lord is watching over you and holding you by your right hand. The Lord is “always with you.” Ann Brock

Prayers

Lord God, thank You for being our Shepherd. Amen.

Prayer for Morning

In the morning when I rise, I give praise to my God, who shows His glory in the sun. O Lord God, you are the source of all warmth, all light, all sustenance. You bring us out of the darkness of ignorance and the blindness of death every day, that we might remember who made us and who sustains us. Your sun is a promise that the night of death will end, and you will rise again, and with you, all who confess the name of your blessed Son, Christ Jesus.

Let me remember you when I rise and all the day, my God, every waking moment; and let me sleep each night in peace, confident that I will rise with your sun once again, in the time you have chosen for me. Amen.

To Be Free of Anxiety

Set free, O Lord, the souls of your servants from all restlessness and anxiety. Give us that peace and power which flow from you alone. Shield us from all perplexity and distress, that upheld by your strength and secured on the rock of your faithfulness, we may abide in you now and evermore. Amen.

A Devotional for Prosperity

May today be all that you need it to be.
May the peace of God and the freshness of the Holy Spirit
Rest in your thoughts, rule in your dreams, tonight, and conquer all your fears.
May God manifest Himself today in ways you have never experienced!
May your joys be fulfilled, your dreams be closer and your prayers be answered. I pray that Faith enters a new height for you; I pray that your territory is enlarged.
I pray for peace, health, happiness, and true and undying Love for God.
