God Is Sovereign

[thewordfortheday]

Our Sovereign LORD, Creator of heaven and earth, who by Your word sustains the universe, we lift our great nation and its people before You.Thank You for the peace we have despite the vast diversity in culture, caste, and language. We pray for the protection and security of all the people of our nation. May Your peace that surpasses all understanding guard the hearts and minds of Your children through Christ Jesus our Lord. We pray that the church and the leaders hold fast to Jesus Christ and may their faith in You, O God, be strong and steadfast. We pray that You will grant those who are serving You, courage and strength as they face various types of persecution and threats. 

Lord, we pray for the leaders in the Centre and the States. We ask You to grant them wisdom and guidance so that they will lead the nation toward peace and justice., that they may alleviate poverty and work towards the welfare of the nation.

Forgive the sins of our nation and heal our Land.

We pray that You would make our nation a blessing to the world.

We ask all these in the name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen!

The LORD will guide you always; He will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.

Isaiah 58: 11

God has a perfect and divine plan for your life – and He will guide you every step of the way into the fulfillment of that divine plan! Trust Jesus! The path may seem rugged and the terrain, rough and very often steep. But the Shepherd of your soul has you in the palm of His hand. Slowly but steadily, He will help you reach the goal.

There isn't an area or detail in your life that God will not be willing to help you out– no matter how small or trivial you think it may be. The Holy Spirit is called “the Helper” in the Bible. He will give you strength, He will help you to your feet when you stumble and fall, He will surely be with you all the way through.

‘Who shall separate us from the love of Christ Jesus?’ Romans 8:35

Shall troubles separate us?  Never, no outward trouble can separate us from His love. We are never deserted. Jesus is ever at hand. When we call upon His name He intervenes, sometimes taking away the trouble, and at other times giving us the grace and strength to bear it, and at all times consoling us through His Spirit.

Paul mentions famine, hunger and all forms of deprivation that may hurt considerably, and test us sorely, but Christ will place His divine arms around us. Nakedness, poverty, peril, great dangers, war, disasters, the sword, violence , none of these things can possibly separate us from the love of Christ.

‘Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God.’ No created being or power or force, angelic, demonic, earthly, animate or inanimate, have the power to separate us from the immeasurable love of God. This love is the inseparable bond between God and His people.

Rejoice in the Lord always. 

Philippians 4:4

Yesterday I told you that contentment comes when we rejoice in the Lord. 

You may ask, “How can I rejoice when everything is going against me, and I have been waiting endlessly for my situation to change?"

Paul writes these words from a Roman dungeon. He learnt from personal experience that our joy in the Lord does not depend on having things go our way, or on having everything we want, but on whether or not we are "in the Lord." He understood that God is the source of His joy and in Him is his sufficiency. Whether in lack or fullness he knew his Lord was enough for him. 

Prayer: Lord Jesus, sometimes it seems almost impossible for me to rejoice. Help me to understand that only in and through your Holy Spirit can I rejoice in You. Amen.

Have you ever wondered if God has forgotten you? . Life comes with seasons of uncertainty. Perhaps you are facing a season of crisis that never seems to end.

In seasons of uncertainty, it can be hard to know what the Lord is doing or why He has allowed you to face what you're going through. God doesn't seem to notice your tears. He doesn't seem to be doing anything. You may ask, "How can I go on like this?"

The enemy of our soul wants us to doubt that God even cares. Know this, God is always working, and He is always in control.

Hold tight to the promises of God. His plans for your life will not and cannot be thwarted (Job 42:1-2). And even if we are faithless, He still remains faithful! (2 Timothy 2:13). No situation we face in this life will ever be too hard for God.

The Christian life is supposed to be one of death to self in order to live a life by faith. Paul told the Galatians “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me” (Galatians 2:20).

Being crucified with Christ means that our old nature has been nailed to the cross and has been replaced by a new nature which is Christ’s (1 Corinthians 5:17). He who loved us and died for us now lives in us and the life we live is by faith in Him. It means sacrificing our own desires, ambitions, and glories and replacing them with those of Christ. We can only do this by His power through the faith that He gives us by His grace.
