An Emoji Devotions for Fri 17th November, 2023.
Topic: The Sound of Faith
Highlight:
The Lord confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them.
Psalms 25:14 NIV
A Faith filled Christian will think honestly under influence of God's approval. In the EASY Version of Matthew 4:5-7 "Then the Devil led Jesus to Jerusalem. He made him stand on the highest part of the temple. He said to Jesus, ‘If you are the Son of God, jump down from here to the ground. You know that the Bible says: “God will tell his angels to keep you safe. They will hold you safely in their hands. They will not let you hurt your foot on a stone”.’ Jesus replied, ‘No! The Bible also says, “Do not test the Lord God, to see if he will save you”.’ Jesus was remembering God's word in Deuteronomy. Jesus was standing on the highest part of the temple. This place was 600 meters above the ground. God had not told Jesus to jump down. We must not do dangerous things if we do not need to. We must obey God then He will take care of us. This is the sound of Faith.
.....Do you think all God wants are sacrifices— empty rituals just for show? He wants you to listen to him! Plain listening is the thing, not staging a lavish religious production. Not doing what God tells you is far worse than fooling around in the occult. Getting self-important around God is far worse than making deals with your dead ancestors. Because you said No to God’s command, he says No to your kingship. 1 Samuel 15:22-23 MSG
Who are those who fear the Lord? He will show them the path they should choose. They will live in prosperity, and their children will inherit the land.
Psalms 25:12-13 NLT
This my friend is the sound of Faith. Are you born again? Have you met yet with the Lord Jesus yet? You need to meet with Jesus and surrender your life to him.
So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.
Prayer; Lord teach me and show me how to use my little faith the right way. Amen
Lord give me the grace to fly and land well in your promises. In Jesus Name.
This little light of mine, let it shine O Lord.
