How storms cloud vision.


Sub-Topic: Recognizing the Storms in Life.

Biblical Text: Proverbs 3:5-6 

Commentary:

Life is seldom easy sailing. We all face storms, whether from personal problems, unanticipated setbacks, or global issues. The first stanza of this chapter recognizes this truth.

The storm might obscure our view, making it difficult to see the way forward. Our natural impulse may be to depend on our own knowledge, attempting to manage the storm alone. However, Proverbs 3:5 urges us to act differently: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart."

Prayer: Dear Lord, let me recognize Your presence even in the middle of the storm. 

Work Action: Write down a current difficulty you are experiencing. Determine where you may be depending on your own intellect instead of trusting God.

Scriptural Reference: Psalm 46:1. "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble."

  Bible Reading : Exodus 2:23-25 Text : "He remembers his covenant forever, the word He commended, for a thousand generation" (Ps. 105:8). NIV COMMENTARY : The Israelites spent 430 years in Egypt.

But the later part was in agony; when the Pharaoh that knew not Joseph reigned, their suffering was so unbearable that they cried unto God, and the Bible says; "God heard their groaning and remembered and remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Exo. 2:24, 25). God heard their groaning but what moved him was the covenant. Listen! Your name, tears, knowledge, experience or wealth may not move God but covenant does. You can maintain your covenant with God by walking blamelessly and constantly putting Him in remembrance of the covenant which is the scripture.. As you are about to sleep tonight, I prophesy to you that this year's covenant is moving God for your...

EQUIPPED FOR SPIRITUAL ARMOR

Bible Reading : Ephesians 6:10-13 Text : Eph. 6:12 "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places". (NKJV) COMMENTARY Every Christian is in a combat field. The conflict is spiritual. When you succeed spiritually, the physical is a work over. The spiritual governs the physical. We are grateful that God provided for our combat weapons rather than abandoning us helplessly. Read More...

GIVE GENEROUSLY

Bible Reading : 11 Corinthians 9:6-12 Text : 2 Corinthians 9:6 "But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully".(NKJV) COMMENTARY Simply put, sparingly implies giving very little compared to what you already have. Giving must be done sacrificially to produce results. That is a generous donation. Giving that doesn't affect you isn't a plentiful seed; a bountiful seed hurts the giver but moves God. When you give to God's work or someone who is unable to repay you, miracles happen.. Read More
