One-minute read.
We rest securely when we praise God for His counsel and wise instruction. Applying scripture to our lives over and over builds our confidence in the Lord’s promises. Eventually, deciding who we should follow becomes easier as we realize that doing things according to God’s instructions always yields the best outcome.
And the Lord tells us repeatedly, “Fear not.” When we lose sight of the Almighty, fear creeps in and takes control. But when we keep the Son in our eyes, we will find victory, have many things to praise God for in our lives, and discover secure rest.
Divine obedience, walking in the Lord’s ways, and following His precepts will result in blessings. But we find heartache when we veer from the straight and narrow path. Often, fighting the battles we face seems lonesome, but God never leaves our side. To experience victory, we must face a challenge and overcome it. Only then will we discover the divine success God has for us.
Whatever challenge you face, look to the Lord for a strategy. Remember, God’s ways differ from ours, and divine tasks may seem ludicrous. The Israelites probably felt silly when Joshua led them around Jericho, playing trumpets. But when the walls fell, they experienced victory like never before.
Experience a glad heart and rest for your soul as you enjoy divine victory from the Lord. Obey God, trust His promises, and live life fully with Christ.
Prayer:
Lord,
Thank You for giving us so many reasons to praise You, especially the guidance and direction You give us to live life abundantly. Help us stay close to You as we fight our battles and experience the victory You have for us.
IJNIP. Amen
