OUR DAILY WALK

1 John 1:17 NKJV But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

When we’re out for a walk we usually watch where we’re going (or I hope we do🤣). But do you ever stop and ask yourself what am I walking in? 

God wants us to walk in His grace and favour, to walk in His light knowing He’s walking with us, to walk in His faith and victory. But are we walking in fear of what is going on in the world, fear of what might happen in our personal circumstances and forgotten we can walk in God’s peace and inner joy instead of turmoil and anxiety?

As we enter this new week God wants us to settle something in our minds. He has us safely in the palm of His hand and He has already seen all of our futures but He’s already gone ahead to prepare whatever we will need for whatever we will have to deal with. His plans are for our good and not to harm us.😊

He reminds us He will never abandon us or leave us on our own, that if we’ll trust Him, and keep our eyes fixed on Him, and not on what is happening around us, that He will hold us steady and bring us out victorious.

Jesus already told us about the things that would be happening in the last days but He said to look up! We may well be the generation that sees the Lord return to catch us all away, but until then we have a job to do.

Our job is to stay close to our God, and allow His perfect love for us to cast out our fears, because He is our strong tower. He wants us to walk in His light, in His grace and His faith and to bring others to Him so they can know His love and forgiveness too. 

So let’s walk out into our new week knowing we’re never alone, that God’s love and favour are surrounding us like a shield and whatever happens, He will hold us steady and securely in His hands, and He will never let us go. In Jesus name. Amen.

THE GREATNESS AND VICTORY OF GOD

Psalm 48:1/9-10 NLT 
1 How great is the Lord,
How deserving of praise, …
9 O God, we meditate on your unfailing love
as we worship in your Temple.
10 As your name deserves, O God,
you will be praised to the ends of the earth.
Your strong right hand is filled with victory.

Have you noticed how much the subject of victory pops up where our God is concerned?
Isaiah 41:10 reminds us it’s His victorious right hand that upholds us. God is never defeated and never will be, and He wants us to walk in faith and victory as well. He never intended us to walk in defeat or fear or despair because we have the Greater One on the inside of us to help and strengthen us.😊

Our verses today also talk about praising the Lord for His greatness, because He deserves all our praise. In Isaiah 61:3 we read how we can put on a garment of praise to get rid of a spirit of heaviness, because it’s our defence against the enemy, but it also defeats him at every turn because he can’t stand hearing us praise our God, so he leaves!

The Psalmist encourages us to meditate on God’s love for each one of us which means of course to really stop and spend a bit of time thinking about what it means to us personally, and when we do, our praise will just bubble up and pour out. A friend sent me a text yesterday reminding me that God’s love for all of us is Immeasurable, Unmistakable and Unending! What a lovely reminder.😊

So let’s do as the Psalmist says and give our Great and Victorious God, who loves us so much, all our praise today. In Jesus name. Amen.
