Impediment Removed And Foe Subdued

"The sea looked and fled, the Jordan turned back;"
Psalm 114:3

When God is with us through our journey on thiis earth, leading our way, any sin or obstacle or evil that comes against us must tremble and give away their space for us to move forward, drawing back themselves, though it may be contrary to their usual nature. Nothing good is too great for us to achieve because every single impediment will be removed and every single foe will be subdued under our feet.

Unearth Your Treasure

"Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful."
Joshua 1:8

Deuteronomy 29:29

Let us with all eagerness receive His revealed word, live by it's standards and cherish His promises, which will provide all nourishment needed, because we are now the owners of His decrees.

Sure, Paramount Success

"..As long as he sought the LORD, God gave him success."
2 Chronicles 26:5

We are guaranteed sure, paramount success if v earnestly seek the Lord. But we have to first admit our inability to win and seek His help. As long as we continue to seek Him, we will continue to prosper. But if we turn back on Him and be self-sufficient and self-reliant, He too will turn blind eye on us. Let us always be humble enough to seek the Lord and let us always admit the importance of His role in our lives.

Blessed Forever

"..with Your blessing may the house of Your servant be blessed forever."
2 Samuel 7:29

Let us plead with God to bless us and our household with spiritual and temporal blessing not according to our righteousness but according to His grace and pleasure. For this we need to let God's sovereign will rule our life. We need His blessing so that we continue to live forever under His care and providence.

Loving Father Also An Impartial Judge

"Since you call on a Father who judges each person's work impartially, live out your time as foreigners here in reverent fear."
1 Peter 1:17

We who call on God as our Father and claim ourselves to be called His children, should have an awful fear that He is also our Judge, who visits us with corrections when we err, so that we gain our citizenship in our Father's house in heaven. But we need not possess a slavish fear that can never coexist with the perfect love of our Father that is shed abroad in our hearts, but hav a holy fear that drowns down all other fear for men, satan, death or judgement.

"LORD, save us! LORD, grant us success!"
Psalm 118:25

Are We Welcoming Satan?

"Do not give the devil an opportunity."
Ephesians 4:27

Sinful thoughts and actions in our lives give foothold to satan. By going to bed with anger we take him with us. By not forgiving we invite him to release our tormentors. By hating we are murdering. By not taming our tongue we are inviting death. By going to fortune tellers, palm readers, etc. we are going under his direct command. Let the prince of the world have no hold over us.

Reward Of Speech

"..I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict."
Luke 21:15

God promises to bless us with the faculty of speech to speak aptly in time and to answer any ensnaring question with all prudence and wisdom. But we should learn to conceal things in our heart and not expose everything, showing the enemy the way into our life. To such men who restrain their lips, will God impart the gift to preach and also His revelations.

The Same Powerful God

"Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear."
Isaiah 59:1

God, whose hands made everything out of nothing, is still powerful enough to deliver, provide and work out wonders for us. He is never less able than ever before. His ears are inclined to the sincere call from the heart, ready to answer. Let us not lose heart. He is always the same powerful, loving, compassionate God of all.

A Startling Change

"..He rescues the poor from trouble and increases their families like flocks of sheep."
Psalm 107:41

God can bring about startling changes in the affairs of our lives. He can lift us high above the jurisdiction of sin, above the extent of satan's dominion, above any deadly calamities of the world, setting us on Christ who is higher than any of these. He will bring us out of every pain, when it's time is over and exalt and glorify us. He will increase our numbers and expand our boundaries. Let us, in whatever state we are, rely totally on Him for our upgradation.

Worship The Creator Not Creatures

"Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the LORD our Maker;"
Psalm 95:6

We need to count ourselves nothing in the presence of our Creator, worshiping Him with all reverence, with all that is within us. Though we can beseech Him with all privilege as a child before his Father, we need to give Him all respect as just creatures before a Creator. Let us rejoice and bow down with thanksgiving, not before any image or crucifix that we made but before our great Maker.

Fasts Into Feasts

"..The fasts..will become joyful and glad occasions and happy festivals for Judah. Therefore love truth and peace."
Zechariah 8:19

We are urged to love the truth [Jesus and His Word (Jn.14:6;1:1,14)], so that we will be sanctified (Jn.17:17), and also to love peace to be called His sons. He will then amend all our circumstances, so that we will no more have any sign of heaviness but rejoice, enjoying pleasant seasons.

A Wonderful Change All Of A Sudden

2 Corinthians 13:11

Deliverance And New Life

"I removed the burden from their shoulders; their hands were set free from the basket."
Psalm 81:6

Only God can deliver us from any slavish toil or hard bondage we are in. He can bring us out of all our troubles and traps like our sins, debts, habits, abuses, temptations, stagnations, etc that we are unable to get out by ourselves and help us enter a new life. Let us seek His help to be free from our burdens. Let us also permit God to use us as He desires.

Psalm 119:143

Even in such hard times, His Word gives us delight and we don't ever need to feel depressed, while others in the same situation will be heartsick.

Glorify God With The Godly

"My praise shall be of Thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear Him."
Psa.22:25

Let us be careful not to sing or talk or testify in a congregation in order to exhibit us or our voices, but let everything be a pure offering of praise and glory to our Lord God alone.

Our Children need to see tokens of His goodness in order to be genuine followers of God and be His true witnesses.

Heavens And Earth For Us, We For Him

"The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth he has given to mankind."
Deuteronomy 10:14

Our Father God designed, made and owns everything contained on heaven and in earth, and everything is at His disposal. We are His treasured possession, and He has given the earth for us to dwell now and has reserved the heavens for us so we could live with Him eternally. Yet, He chose us for Him to dwell in.
