God Has A Promise For You

This devotion begins with humans being called to reflect the rule and reign of God. But people turned away, seeking to build their own Kingdoms. This quickly turned to violence and oppression. Humans lived in rebellion rather than in harmony with God. 

Amidst this situation, God called Abraham and Sarah. He came into their lives to make covenant promises, to re-establish them as a people living in harmony with Him. 

Scripture says Abraham and Sarah were an old and childless couple. The new start God made with them didn’t look very promising, but God makes promises in unpromising situations. God promised to be their God, to bless them, and to make them a blessing on the earth. Then, a powerful little seed was tucked in with this packet of promises. God said to Abraham, “Kings will come from you,” and God said about Sarah, “Kings of peoples will come from her”. What would that have been like, to hear God say that your descendants would be Kings and Queens on the earth? 

Today, just like in the lives of the old couple Abraham and Sarah, God is in the business of re-establishing Kings and Queens in our families and communities. His promises to Abra­ham and Sarah would, in time, bear good fruit for their descendants and for the whole Earth. Remember, God wants to do the same for us. For if we are in Christ we will bear good fruit and prosper. Let us trust His promises.   

“I will make you very fruitful; I will make nations of you, and kings will come from you.” (Genesis 17:6).

Let’s Pray 

Yahweh, thank you for your promises. Fill me with your Spirit so that your Kingdom may come and your will may be done in me today. Please bless my family and community, in Christ’s name. Amen.

God Is Our Healer And Protector

Do you need healing in your life? If there is one thing our world needs now it’s healing — emotionally, physically and spiritually. It doesn’t matter what is sick or broken in your life today, God’s nature is to bring you complete healing. Do you need healing in you body? Your mind? Heart? Finances? Relationships? God is your healer. 

The Psalmist says in today’s verse: “He binds up their wounds.” In the natural, if you have a broken arm, it doesn’t just heal overnight. The doctor makes a cast to hold it in place and protect it. He binds up your wounds. In the spiritual realm, God does the same thing. He wraps Himself around your brokenness, and protects the wounded area until it is strong enough to function properly again. Hallelujah! The Bible also says that God is a restorer. That means that when He does a work of healing in our lives, He makes us better than we were before.

Today, if you’re going through the healing process whether emotionally, physically and spiritually, know this: it may take longer than you planned, but God is binding up your wounds. He is protecting you and healing you. He will bring you out better and stronger than you were before. He will take you to a place of complete healing, so that you can live the life of eternal victory He has in store for you.

“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”

(Psalm 147:3, NIV)

Pray With Me
Yahweh, thank You for being my healer and protector during some difficult times. Father, thank You for restoring every area of my life. I truly love You and trust You. God, I give You my brokenness and everything that I am today. Use me for Your glory in Christ’s Name! Amen.
