Kept by God’s Power

For thou has possessed my reins, thou as covered me in my mother’s womb. Psalm 139:13

Bible Reading: Psalm 139

That you know Christ is by His grace and if you are reading this devotional now but you are yet to surrender your life to Christ, it is still His preserving power that has brought these words your way so that you can accept Him as your personal Lord and Saviour. Accept that you are a sinner, confess your sins with your mouth, believe in your heart that Jesus died, took away your sins and rose from the dead so that you can have eternal life. Amen

In today’s Bible reading, King David recognized God as his keeper anywhere he went: in heaven, hell, sea or in darkness etc. God is a faithful Friend, Father and Emmanuel. The entire humanity is a living testimony that God’s faithfulness is sure daily (Lamentation 3:22-23). For instance, although Jonah left the presence of God, he was still kept and watched over in the belly of the fish (Jonah 1-2). “And behold, I am with you and will keep you in all places where you go, and will bring you again into this land for I will not leave you until I have done that which I have spoken to you of” (Genesis 28:15). We cannot run away or hide from God’s Spirit, He sees even in the darkest night. His love for us is unconditional and His right hand of power will always have a grip on us no matter how deep we fall into sin. Even when we fall, we shall arise and the Lord shall be a light unto us. Micah 7:8.

Regardless of where you have missed it in time past, find your way back to God because He is ever ready to accept you (Isaiah 1:18). For those that live in fear and trepidation, cease from living this kind of life. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Take hold of your life by laying claims to God’s promises that He will never leave you nor forsake you. Like King David, understand that you are kept by God’s power, confess His words and build up your most holy faith. Pray without ceasing and live the life that you confess. We are kept by the Power of God and so always acknowledge the Keeper of our lives.

Self-Reflection: Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion, and power, both now and ever. (Jude 1:24-25)

Daily Confession: I am kept by God’s power and His power is alive in me. (Amen)

Intercessory prayer: Pray for God’s for your friend in need of healing.

 Hymn: A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing;

Our helper he, amid the flood, of mortal ills prevailing.

For still our ancient foe, does seek to work us woe;

His craft and power are great, and armed with cruel hate,

On earth is not his equal.
