My precious friend, God’s word brings great blessings to us. Today’s promise is taken from Exodus 23:25. Here, the Word of God says to “Serve the Lord your God.
” In another translation, it says “Worship the Lord your God and his blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you. I will give you a full life span.” Is it not a wonderful promise of God for you?
Firstly, The Bible says “Worship the Lord your God.” When the Lord Jesus was on this earth, the devil tempted him (Matthew 4). He showed Jesus all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. The devil further said “All this I will give you if you will bow down and worship me.
” However, Jesus defeated the devil quoting the scriptures saying, “For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’”
Yes, my friend, your trust has to be only on the Lord for everything you need for this life on earth. Just like you trust the Lord for your life in heaven after completing the journey of life on this earth, you must trust him for every blessing on earth.
This is an act of worshiping the Lord. Singing songs, reading a scripture portion, praying, and then continuing to worry for your needs is not true worship. Are you running after people and money for the sustenance of life on this earth? God wants you to trust Him completely.
He expects us to be content and say ‘Lord, let thy will be done. Whatever you want me and my family to have, provide it according to your will.’ This is true worship.
Jesus offered His body and His precious blood as a sacrifice.
On the cross, Jesus hung as a naked person with bruises and blood flowing, humiliating his body. He became very poor. The reason He did so was to bring you riches through His poverty (II Corinthians 8:9).
As you trust in the Lord who sacrificed His everything so that you could possess everything on earth, it becomes an act of worshipping Him truly.
He will bless your bread and water, heal all your sicknesses, and make all the riches come into your life (Proverbs 10:22).
“Though the mountains are shaken and the hills are removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the Lord, who has compassion on you.” (Isaiah 54:10)
Dear friend, today the Lord’s compassion is going to overflow in your life.
The promise which the Lord has for you today is from Isaiah 54:10. “Though the mountains are shaken and the hills are removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the Lord, who has compassion on you.”
Yes, our Lord is full of love. He is full of compassion. Many things may leave you and people may leave you but the Lord says ‘my steadfast love will never be removed.
’ In the days of Jesus, many of his disciples went away from him. When they heard the living words of Jesus, they said that it was a hard saying and none can understand it and left Jesus.
However, Jesus turned to his 12 close disciples and asked them, ‘my friends, will you also leave me?’ Jesus knows the agony of people being forsaken. He walked through that path.
You may also have the experience of family and friends leaving you, or losing the love of your dear ones, or driven out of your home and living all alone.
This is where God says to you, ‘many people may leave you but my steadfast love will never be removed from you.
The Lord says he will never leave you nor forsake you. When the Lord Jesus sojourned on this earth, he saw a widow crying over her only son as the people were carrying his coffin by the roadside.
When Jesus saw the tears of this widow, he could not move forward.
He came near the coffin and touched the dead man and said “young man, arise.” The young man got up immediately and began to speak.
The Lord gave his live man to his mother (Luke 7:11-15). That is the love of our Lord Jesus dear friend.
With the same unfailing love, God says, ‘I am with you. You will lose nothing.
My love will resurrect everything in your life.’ Zephaniah 3:17 says “The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves.
He will take great delight in you; in his love, he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.” Yes, in his love he will no longer rebuke you.
In Romans 8:35-37, we see “nothing can separate us from the love of Christ.
” You may go through trouble, persecution, famine, nakedness, danger, or sword, but they cannot separate you from the love of Jesus.
People and things may leave you but God says “I am with you and my steadfast love will never leave you.
God Bless you!
