A DAILY BIBLE DEVOTIONAL READING, FROM THE SPIRITUAL FATHER, THE MOST REV DR S A ABIDOYE.
"DAILY IN HIS PRESENCE"
DATE:
SATURDAY 8TH OCTOBER 2022.
TOPIC:
PRAISE HIM IN THE MIDST OF YOUR SITUATION.
TEXT:
PSALM 117: 1 -2
MEMORY VERSE: For great is his love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord. Psalm 117: 2.
Psalm 117 happens to be in the center of the Bible.
It is number 595 chapter of the Bible with 594 chapters before it and another 594 chapters after it.
By the way the Bible consists of 1,189 chapters.
Aside from this it happens to be the shortest chapter of the Bible.
I believe that this has a divine origin in arrangement.
I also believe that it is so, so that we may be able to remember how to praise Him in the midst of our situation.
The glory is not in the beginning, the glory is actually in the end. You may have started well; it is good but it is better to end well.
You may have laid your hand upon a venture after due consultation with the Holy Spirit, yet the venture may be facing challenges of various kinds.
You may be facing such challenges like finance, health, space, marital, rentals or attacks from the enemies.
lt looks as if you did not seek the face of God at the beginning of the venture.
Everything may look dim, Never lose hope.
The river may be threatening, just remember that in the midst of the Bible is a chapter of praise. So, praise God in anticipation of a better tomorrow.
Praise Him because He will never desert you, Praise Him because you are alive, praise Him because the venture is not dead, even if it dies, still praise Him.
He who allowed it to die knows how to resurrect it. if it is not dead, He knows how to make it work.
He will revive it do not worry.
He is the Creator, He knows how to create a thing that do not exist, He knows what to do even when I am lamenting of the loss of my investment.
There may appear to be no reason to praise Him, do not allow your enemies to give you that impression.
Even in the face of court actions, in the face of debts or weakness lift up your head, smile and praise Him.
CHALLENGE:
Why are you cast down Oh my soul?
PRAYER:
Praise, glory and honor be unto you, my Father in Jesus Christ name. Amen
