God Will Restore What Was Lost

                    So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten - Joel 2:25.

                 Our God is faithful to restore us whatever we have lost. Job lost his health, possessions and children. God turned his captivity when he prayed for his friends. And the Lord restored Job’s losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before - Job 42:10. He blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning. The Lord blessed the latter part of Job’s life more than the former part - Job 42:12.

                 David started to worship God when he lost his son. So David arose from the ground, washed and anointed himself, and changed his clothes; and he went into the house of the Lord and worshiped - 2 Samuel 12:20. Later, God blessed David and Bathsheba with another son named Solomon, who became the richest and wisest king in the world.

             God restores our soul with goodness. He will restore our health, joy and peace that was stolen by the enemy. For I will restore health to you And heal you of your wounds - Jeremiah 30:17. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit. God will lift us up and restore what we have lost in double portion. Return to the stronghold, You prisoners of hope. Even today I declare That I will restore double to you - Zechariah 9:12.

                                               

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for restoring us everything that we have lost in our life. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Seek God Early

Those that seek me early shall find me - Proverbs 8:17.

             Those who seek God early will find Him. Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near - Isaiah 55:6. Jesus used the early morning hours to connect with God. Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed - Mark 1:35. Abraham sought the God early in the morning. And Abraham went early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the Lord - Genesis 19:27.

                David chose to seek God early in the morning. O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land where there is no water - Psalm 63:1. Let us praise God, meditate the word of God and lay all our requests to God before the start of the day. To declare Your loving kindness in the morning, And Your faithfulness every night - Psalm 92:2. I rise before the dawning of the morning, And cry for help; I hope in Your word - Psalm 119:147. In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly - Psalm 5:3.  

              Early morning is the most peaceful and quiet time to spend with God. Every day is a gift of God and the mercies of God are new every morning. Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness - Lamentations 3:22,23. When we seek God early, we will receive the mercies of God and He will show us His ways. Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life - Psalm 143:8. Let us make a commitment to seek God early in the morning.

                                                   

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Give us the grace to seek You early in the morning. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Faith That Moves Mountains

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen - Hebrews 11:1.

                   The words that we speak have tremendous power. The main key to move mountains in our life is to speak to the mountains with a mustard seed faith. I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you - Mathew 7:20. Start speaking to the problem of mountains instead of talking about the problem. Our God is bigger than any mountain we face in life. He who is in you is greater than He who is in the world - 1 John 4:4.

                  Another key to move the mountains in our life and to receive whatever things we pray for is to ask God in faith without any doubt. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord - James 1:6,7. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them - Mark 11:24.

                    Faith moves mountains and opens the door of miracles. Now He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief - Mathew 13:58. When we speak God’s word with faith to all the mountains in our life, we will have whatever we say. So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says - Mark 11:22,23.        

                                                                                  

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to move the mountains in our life by speaking to it with a mustard seed faith. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

God Is Our Righteous Judge

Righteous are You, O Lord, and upright are Your judgments - Psalm 119:137.

              Our God is righteous and all His judgements are righteous. Righteous are You, O Lord, And upright are Your judgments - Psalm 119:137. He is righteous and gracious in all His ways. The Lord is righteous in all His ways, gracious in all His works - Psalm 145:17. Our God who is righteous loves righteousness. For the Lord is righteous, He loves righteousness; His countenance beholds the upright  (Psalm 11:7).

            God judges righteously and there is no partiality in Him. For the Lord is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with justice, and the nations with fairness - Psalm 98:9. For there is no partiality with God - Romans 2:11. We serve a loving God who is also a righteous judge. “Fear God,” he shouted. Give glory to him. For the time has come when he will sit as judge - Revelation 14:7a. Let us worship our God with reverence as He is a consuming fire.

           God will sit on His throne and judge each one of us according to our actions. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad - 2 Corinthians 5:10. Our God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. And now the prize awaits me - the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return.” 2 Timothy 4:8.

                                       

                                                                                                     

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for being our righteous judge. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

God Who Reveals Us Deep And Hidden Things

     I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places - Isaiah 45:3.

               God reveals His secrets to all those who fear Him. The secret of the Lord is with those who fear Him, And He will show them His covenant - Psalm 25:14. God made His ways known to Moses who had a close walk with Him. He made known His ways to Moses - Psalm 103:7. All secret things belong to the Lord and He is the revealer of deep and secret things to us. He reveals deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, And light dwells with Him - Daniel 2:22. He made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ - Ephesians 1:9.

              When we call upon God, He will show us great and mighty things which we never know. Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know - Jeremiah 33:3. He reveals His plans to all those who seek Him. Seek, and you will find - Mathew 7:7. God’s word shines light to our path. The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple - Psalm 119:130. God will give us discernment and direction in our life as we walk with Him closely.

                The Holy Spirit will bring all the hidden things to light. But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God - I Corinthians 2:10. Let us unlock the deep things of God with the help of the Holy Spirit. God also speaks to us through dreams and visions to reveal His plans about us and hidden traps of enemy. Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts - 1 Corinthians 4:5. May the Lord give us the spirit of revelation and enlighten the eyes of our understanding.

                                                        

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Reveal us the hidden things and secrets about everything in our life. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

The Eternal God Is Our Refuge

The eternal God is your refuge and underneath are the everlasting arms - Deuteronomy 33:27.          

                 The eternal God is our refuge. David always confessed that God is His refuge. He had trust in God who is a refuge and poured out his heart before Him. Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us - Psalm 62:8. O Lord, my strength and my fortress, My refuge in the day of affliction - Jeremiah 16:19. God who is eternal is our refuge in the day of affliction. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust” - Psalm 91:2.

                   Let us turn to God for refuge who is always present in all our troubles. God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though its waters roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with its swelling - Psalm 46:1,2. We can face any situation without fear as God who is our refuge is with us. The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge - Psalm 46:7.

                 God’s unfailing love is priceless. Let us take refuge in the shadow of His wings for protection. How priceless is your unfailing love, O God! People take refuge in the shadow of your wings - Psalm 36:7. For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe. I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings - Psalm 61:3,4. Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him - Psalm 34:8.

                    

                                                   

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for being our refuge. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Wait Patiently For The Lord To Act

Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him - Psalm 37:7.

                 James says that the farmer waits patiently for the precious fruit of the earth. He waits for the early rain to help the seed take root and the latter rain to help sustain the plant until the harvest. Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain- James 5:7,8. Just like the farmer, let us also wait patiently for the Lord to act. He will surely give us the best in His time.

              God will provide us grace and renew our strength as we wait patiently on Him. We will rise up with wings like eagles. But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint - Isaiah 40:31. Let us gain our strength by waiting on the Lord. Wait for the Lord; be strong and let your heart take courage; yes, wait for the Lord - Psalm 27:14.

               God will exalt us to inherit the earth as we wait on Him and keep His ways. Wait on the Lord, And keep His way, And He shall exalt you to inherit the land - Psalm 37:34. For evildoers shall be cut off; But those who wait on the Lord, they shall inherit the earth - Psalm 37:9. Let us wait patiently with faith by resting on God’s word and prayer. I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in His word I do hope - Psalm 130:5. In the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly - Psalm 5:3. Truly my soul silently waits for God; From Him comes my salvation - Psalm 62:1.  

                                                  

                                                     

Prayer: Dear Lord, Help us to wait patiently on You to act in our life. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
