You Are Not Forgotten

By

Good Morning

Scripture reading: Isaiah 49:14-16

Worship song: I Am Not Forgotten

 


Meditation:

    In times of hardship, struggles, and seemingly undeserved punishment, it is natural to wrestle with feelings of abandonment. The Israelites expressed this deep concern of neglect, believing their cries were disregarded by God. They felt utterly cast aside and assumed God's silence meant his anger was directed at them. Despite their cries for help, God did not immediately respond. In agony, they waited in anguish, bewailing their relentless situation, expecting swift rescue. Yet, God powerfully reassures them by informing them he has engraved them on the palms of his hands. He compared his unwavering love to a mother's love for her child, emphasizing that while human compassion may falter, His love is steadfast and eternal. 

    You may sometimes feel forgotten by God but rest assured God has not forgotten you. He knows exactly where and what you are going through right now. Amid challenges, do not be dismayed or terrified, for the Lord your God promises He will be with you. You will not face your adversary alone because the Lord promises not to leave or forsake you. He will deliver you from captivity and set you free. Wait patiently on God; He is an on-time God, and He will show up just in time. Be strong and courageous and keep waiting on God. Amid change and uncertainty, remember that whilst everything else may shift, the Lord remains the same.

Let us pray:

    Almighty God, I am grateful for your word that strengthens my faith and reminds me that you will never abandon me. I am extremely grateful for the unwavering assurance that you are always with me. Thank you, Lord God, for your compassion, kindness, and faithfulness towards humanity. Almighty God, I relinquish all control, and I place my life and well-being into your hands, acknowledging that you know what is best for me. Most of all, thank you, Lord, for your unconditional love, mercy, grace, and the faithful promises you have extended through our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen. 

Have a wonderful day. 🙏🙏🙏

    Blessed morning. God is faithful. God will make a way. Where there seems to be no way. He works in ways we can not see. He will make a way for me. Heavenly Father, You are the Waymaker, and I ask for Your guidance and wisdom in finding a path forward. I know You will make a way where there seems to be none. Help me to trust in Your timing and plan. I give you my concerns and ask that You lead me to the right path. Amen. Stay Blessed. 🙌🏾

Spiritual Decline

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Isaiah 59:1-4 Worship song: Here's My Heart   Meditation:      Spiritual decline refers to a decrease or deterioration of one's connection to the Divine, marked by a decline in faith, moral integrity, spiritual wisdom, or religious devotion. This is often caused by disobedience to God's word, increased idolatry practices, indulgence in worldly pleasures, and a decrease in godly and ethical standards. Neglecting to pray and a lack of spiritual energy, demonstrated by a loss of desire to worship and connect with other believers, mark the beginning of all spiritual decline.       When we neglect God's divine direction and uphold our own standards, it demonstrates spiritual blindness and a hardness of heart. It is our unholy actions that create a barrier between us and God. As stated in Isaiah 52, our wrongful actions caused God to turn away, preventing Him from hearing our pleas as He withdraws Himself f...

Nowhere to Run, Nowhere to Hide

Good morning Scripture reading: Psalms 139 Worship song: Where Can I Go   Meditation:      Overwhelmed with emotion, the Psalmist reflects on God's incredible, infinite power and omnipresence, marveling that God is intimately acquainted with every detail of his life, even his most hidden thoughts and feelings. God's wisdom and knowledge are unattainable; none has the power to obtain them. While we can earn academic titles, and be blessed with the spirit of discernment, we can never earn the boundless wisdom and knowledge that belong only to God. The Psalmist acknowledged that God's power is beyond human understanding. He realizes he cannot hide from God because God is always watching.       As Psalm 139 states, there is nowhere to flee from God's presence. Though we might hide our wrongdoings and indulgences from human view, all our actions, whether righteous or wicked, are laid exposed before God to whom we must give account. We cannot ...

The Stumbling Blocks

Good morning Scripture reading: Ezekiel 14:1-8 Worship song: At Your Feet   Meditation:      The Lord rescued the Israelites from Egypt and took them away from their lifestyle of bondage in slavery and their customary worship of idols. The Israelites encountered the love of God and were granted freedom through his divine power. Nonetheless, they regularly transgressed against the Lord and returned to idolatry, and for that, many of them did not reach the promised land. Like the Israelites, many of us, after encountering freedom, have returned to our former lifestyle, allowing our self-will and desires to cause us to be entangled again in the yoke of sin and transgressions.       Those who believe in Christ experience a spiritual rebirth, a transformation from their old lifestyle governed by sin to a new spiritual identity in Christ. Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old, for Christ can do a new thing in you. Esca...

Squatters Occupying the Land

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Numbers 34:1-13 Worship Song: Way Maker   Meditation:      God made a covenant with Abraham in which he promised he would multiply his seed and make of him a great nation. God promised to bless him and his generation and give them the land of Canaan. The land was already occupied by various inhabitants, but God had to evict them so that Abraham and his descendants could possess the land. Our thoughts and hearts are vulnerable to the controlling influence of Satan's forces, who act as spiritual squatters.       To remove these spiritual intruders, we must invite Jesus Christ to take possession of our inner lives. Satan and his cohorts will remain inhabitants until we actively invite Jesus Christ into our lives to forcibly evict these unwanted spiritual tenants. Jesus Christ wants the Holy Spirit, the Comforter to reside within us, but we are too comfortable frolicking with the residents that he wants to dri...
