Daily Devotional: Jesus calling by Sarah Young.
You cannot serve two masters. If I am truly your Master, you will desire to please Me above all others. If pleasing people is your goal, you will be enslaved to them. People can be harsh taskmasters when you give them this power over you.
If I am the Master of your life, I will also be your First Love. Your serving Me is rooted and grounded in My vast, unconditional Love for you. The lower you bow down before Me, the higher I lift you up into intimate relationship with Me. The Joy of living in My Presence outshines all other pleasures. I want you to reflect My joyous Light by living in increasing intimacy with Me.
Bible verse of the day: Habakuk 3:17-18Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls,yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.
3:1 Lord, how many are my foes! How many rise up against me!
3:2 Many are saying of me, God will not deliver him.
3:3 But you, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high.
3:4 I call out to the Lord, and he answers me from his holy mountain.
3:5 I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me.
3:6 I will not fear though tens of thousands assail me on every side.
3:7 Arise, Lord! Deliver me, my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked.
3:8 From the Lord comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people.
Summary; Martin Luther felt that, overall, the goal in this Psalm is to raise the confidence of those who consider themselves followers of YHWH to call on him. “But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me, my glory, and uplifts my head.”In these verses, David proclaims that God is his shield, his strength, and his provider.
Closing Prayer; Dear Heavenly Father, the one who lifts up our heads from shame. You are our reason for living, the one who gives our lives meaning. So we cry out to you now, counting on the fact that you will answer us. Because we know you are there for us, We don’t have to be kept awake with worry. We thank you In the name of Jesus. Amen.
Prayer of Salvation: Which is how you ask to become a child of Our Heavenly Father. Lord Jesus, I confess my sins and ask for your forgiveness. Please come into my heart as my Lord and Savior. Take complete control of my life and help me to walk in Your footsteps daily by the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord for saving me and I know you will answer my prayers. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
