An Emoji Devotional for Tue 26th September 2023
Topic: Weakness without strength
Highlight:
This is what the LORD says to me: “As a lion growls, a great lion over its prey— and though a whole band of shepherds is called together against it, it is not frightened by their shouts or disturbed by their clamor— so the LORD Almighty will come down to do battle on Mount Zion and on its heights.
Like birds hovering overhead, the LORD Almighty will shield Jerusalem; he will shield it and deliver it, he will ‘pass over’ it and will rescue it.” Isaiah 31:5
Any Christian who can quickly ask God for direction before taking an impulsive action is a true Christian. we have no direction without Him, we lack protection on every side, and we were never meant to carry a heavy load.
Where is the strength to disobey God coming from for those who battles with sin are begging for forgiveness? All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way” (Isaiah 53:6)
When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd” (Matthew 9:36 ESV).
Other animals are good for carrying things, but not sheep. They were not meant to carry a heavy load. In fact, they would be crushed under such a weighty burden.
You must be strong though the power of God alone. Cast your burdens on the Lord, and He will sustain you” (Psalm 55:22).
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Ephesians 2:8
We are all weak and cannot even speak for ourselves but only Jesus alone can strengthen us and be our advocate through His Holy Spirit.
.... And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 1 John 2:1
In summary a child of God needs to ask God for grace and strength to seek him first before taking action. With man it maybe impossible but with God all things are possible.
Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiatives and God's provision alone for all your life's journey. Matthew 6:33, Luke 9:3
Prayer: Father, I acknowledged that I am week without you, please give me grace and power to first of all inquire of you about my impulsive life's decisions in Jesus name. 1 Sam 30:8
