Devotion by Pastor Vivek Solanky.

“The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When evildoers assail me to devour my flesh—my adversaries and foes—they shall stumble and fall…For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under the cover of his tent; he will set me high on a rock.” (Psalm 27:1-2, 5).

Life is good and it is a blessing and a gift from God (Ps. 139:13-18; 16:11). But sometimes it turns into a battlefield where we feel like as if we have to fight every day to survive: a battle of sorrow, depression, fear, anxieties, loss of dear ones or fear of losing our dear ones, losing our health, financial challenges due to job loss or not finding a job, less income, property damage due to natural calamities, and wars and rumors of war etc.

We hope and expect that we do not go through such challenges. But sometimes we are hit hard by uncertainties. We go thorough episodes of mental and emotional struggles. In midst of this, when we trust in the Lord, we get strength and victory over every battle of our lives.

Psalm 27 draws a picture of an intense battle. But David continues to trust in the Lord. He commences this psalm by declaring his own faith in the Lord.

He writes that God is my “light”, my “salvation” and my “strength/stronghold.”

As Light, God guides our steps (Ps. 119:105) and ‘rescue us from the power of darkness and transfer us into the kingdom of his beloved Son’ (Col. 1:13).

As Salvation, God secures our souls (Ps. 121:7, 34:22). “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.” (John 5:24).

As Strength/stronghold, God delivers His people (Ps. 46:1; 73:26; 1 Cor. 15:57).

David had trust that even when life threatens to overthrow him, the Lord will set him on a rock, a place that is unshakable, powerful, and secure. His trust in the Lord strengthened him to face wild animals, Goliath, and other enemies in the war. He knew that God is bigger than his problems, worries, enemies and challenges, therefore, in v. 5, he declares his complete dependence upon the Lord.

Like David, let us remind ourselves that we serve the Lord who is bigger than our problems, worries, stress, illness, conflict, and challenges etc. Let us trust in the Lord and remain faithful to him; and seek His face.

Amen. Have a blessed week.

Devotion by Pastor Vivek.

“Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings. Day and night they never stop saying: “‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,’ who was, and is, and is to come.” (Rev. 4:8).

In Revelation Ch. 4, amid turbulent days, John was given the glimpse of heaven through Jesus Christ. After giving teachings to seven churches, Rev.2-3 (which also represents current conditions of worldwide churches and individual followers of Christ), John was given the vision. God showed him what He has in store for the days to come.

The vision was wonderful and awe-inspiring. He was shown that all the creatures and the elders, and everything in it were worshipping the Lord singing, “‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,’ who was, and is, and is to come.” The Lord is incomparable to anyone and anything else. His love is perfect, and His justice is right. His grace, glory, righteousness, and holiness are astounding. We have received His compassion, forgiveness, redemption, and salvation in His Son Jesus Christ. He is in control of everything because He created everything in heaven and on the earth, and by His will, everything was created and has their being (Rev. 4:11).

From Revelation 6 onwards, John was also shown things that are going to happen. At present, the world is in chaos. These are troubling days. There has been ongoing war, people and nations are against each other, many are living in political, economic, and social instability, and facing natural disasters. We may be worried.

But take heart. In our troubled world, God can create utopia—not just an imaginary world of perfection. It is going to be real. The Lord has promised that He is going to make everything new—New Heaven, New Earth, and New Jerusalem (Rev. 21-22). According to Isaiah 55:11, the Lord said, “…so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose and succeed in the thing for which I sent it”. His Words and Promises never fail.

“The one who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all the saints. Amen.” (Rev. 22:20-21).
Have a blessed week.

Devotion by Pastor Vivek.

“He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” (Psalm 46:10).

Often, Ps. 46:10 is quoted to encourage someone in their moments of stress, anxiety, depressing and challenging situations. Our general perception about being still or having peace in our daily life is attached with absence of problems. But as a matter of fact, Ps. 46:2-3 & 6, gives us a picture of insecurity and uncertainty—earth give way, mountains fall into the sea, water will roar, mountains quake, nations are in uproar and kingdoms fall. But Psalmist begins this psalm with trust and confidence in the Lord that, “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble” (v. 1).

Peace does not mean absence of noise or troubles. Ps. 46:10 teaches us to be still and know that God is with us even in the middle of struggles and challenges. We have peace when we know, trust, and have confidence that God— ‘who is bigger than our problems’—is with us. We may plan, work hard, try to be prepared and solve all our problems but things still may not work out the way we hope. In such moments, it can be very difficult to “be still”. We may panic, stress out, either fight, shut down or run away, and feel depressed.

But God is calling us to “be still”. In Hebrew, to “be still” is a command. The word also means “cease striving”, “let go” and “surrender”. He is not telling us to step away from chaotic nosey situations to receive peace. He is not telling us to practice some skills or breathing techniques to control our mind, body, and soul. He is also not telling us to step away from our various responsibilities. But He is commanding us to release control over situations. Our circumstance may not change right away but we will be able to see God’s presence with us. In the words of J. John (an evangelist, author, and minister), “if we leave everything in God’s hand, we will see God’s hand in everything.”

He calls us to recognize who He is “be still, and know that I am God” because He oversees everything. He will be exalted among the nations and in the earth. He is already present in what lies ahead of us. Therefore, instead of forcing outcome according to our preference, let us spend more time in prayers and be in His presence. Amen. Have a blessed week.
