A Soni Day Devotional

Scripture: Romans 8:28

Revelation: ALL things work together for the good of those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose. Not your own…often times we want God’s authority without his mandate. He didn’t send you there but He will keep you and cause things to work together for your good while you’re there. In this instance good is relative not relational.

Prayer: God I thank you that you work everything out for my good. That you protect me when I don’t have sense enough to protect myself. When I run you cover me. You both comfort and correct me and I thank you. Help me be obedient to your instructions. In Jesus name I pray, amen.

A Soni Day Devotional: Let It Go Scripture: “And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. And if anyone will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet when you leave that house or town.” Matthew‬ ‭10:13-14‬ ‭ESV‬‬ Revelation: Why are you trying to settle where you aren't received? Why are you allowing people and things to rob you of your peace? If "it" (insert your it) isn't worthy let your peace return to you. Which means you have to be discerning enough and willing to let it go. Depart from where you are not received quickly. Dust doesn't accumulate at a slow pace. Depart from it. Let it go. Take your peace with you. Don't confuse long suffering with settlement. Prayer: Lord you give us your peace and we thank you that it is available to us. Not as the world gives do you give but you give to us freely and liberally according to our measure. Help us to move quickly when you say move and be discerning enough to move from where we are not received. Help us to provide peace where it is worthy of being received and where it is not return it back to us now in Jesus name. Amen.

A Soni Day Devotional “You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor. You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet: all flocks and herds, and the animals of the wild, the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas. LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!” -Psalm‬ ‭8:5-9‬ ‭NIV‬‬ We were made a little lower than angels, not equal to God. We were given dominion, authority over His creation, we are not the Creator. When sin entered the world it was because a God-like persona and wonderment was manifested. Creation yields to its purpose for creation. Why can't you? We as mankind were the only beings that God made in his image and his likeness yet we have a hard time yielding to his image and his likeness. We fulfill the original design of the Creator when we function as we were created. You and I were made a little lower, not equal. Heavenly Father, how majestic is your name in all the earth. Lord thank you for restoring us and reconciling us with you. Help us to receive it. Help us function as you created and thank you for being so kind and patient with us. Remove the God-like complexes we struggle with and help us yield to your will. In Jesus name I pray, amen.

A Soni Saturday Devotional Scripture(s): Psalms‬ ‭20:7‬, Psalms 33:21 Revelation: Where do your loyalties lie? In whom do you trust? Where does your trust lie? In this world or in God? We place a lot of trust in what we can't see. We trust gravity to keep us grounded on a round surface, we trust the wind though we can't see it, we trust the functionality of construction, if it's a chair, I can sit in it. We trust in a lot of things that we can't see and that we don't understand. Why is trusting God any different? He has a track record that has never failed and promises that hold true. Yet we question his sovereign without questioning the world's validity. Trust implies commitment. Trust implies vulnerability. Trust implies...Trust in the creator. The author and the finisher of your faith. Trust. In. Him. Prayer: Father, thank you. Lord I can trust you. Thank you. Help me hold on to that truth. Just as I blindly trust in the things of this world help me to trust in you. You are the creator God, Elohim. You created us and all of creation bends and bows to you. Help me to trust in you. In Jesus name, amen.

A Soni Day Devotional Scripture: Matthew‬ ‭5:14-16‬ ‭ESV‬‬ Revelation: Never allow anyone to dim your light. Don't even allow them to unscrew your bulb from the source. With any light bulb if it isn't secured into its power source even though it has the ability to produce light, the bulb won't shine. Like a lamp on a stand, if the bulb is not screwed in then you can try to get light from it all day and it won't generate any. But when it clicks, when that source of light is plugged into and screwed on tight to its power source. It generates light and shines bright! The same applies with your light as it shines before others. You have to plugged in and screwed in tight to your power source (God) so that all you do reflects the light of Christ and bring glory to Him. Your light should attract people, we should be drawing others to Christ but make sure its leading people to Christ and not to you. You aren't their source, God is. Let us pray: Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for being the light of the world. Thank you reflecting your light in our lives so that all may see the good works we do in reverence to you. Continue to guide us by your spirit so that all we do brings glory to you. Not our will Lord but let your will be done in our lives. Shine in us and through us in Jesus name, amen.

A Soni Day Devotional: Lost and Found

Revelation: God will find you. There’s no hole too deep that he can’t pull you out of. He came in search of you. Seeking to save those who are lost. Remember that if you are lost you can be found and once you’re found although you may feel lost you now have GPS (God’s Positioning System) guiding you. You are never alone. God always walks with you.

Let us pray: Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for looking out for me. Thank you for finding me. Thank you for pulling me out the dark holes of life that I get trapped in sometimes. I thank you that even if I’m not looking for you you’re always searching for me and for that I’m forever grateful. Help follow your lead and guide me down the paths that you will have me take. In Jesus name I pray, amen.

A Soni Day Devotional Revelation: You can be free from sin and bound by fear. God didn't give us a spirit of fear because in Him fear doesn't exist. Fear exists within the bounds of humanity. You can feel fear and not be bound by it. Jesus was in so much anguish and duress that he sweat blood before going to the cross but for the joy set before him he endured the cross despising it's shame. Fear didn't bind him, it freed us through Jesus' power, love, and self-control. We have that same spirit. Fear only binds you up when you allow it to get you down. Find your strength in the truth that you can feel fear and not be afraid. Prayer: Lord thank you for example in the garden before the cross. Thank you for being the example of pressing toward the mark of the high call. Help us not to live in fear and be bound by it. Whom the son sets free is free indeed. Help us walk freely. In Jesus name I pray, amen.
