STAND STILL: Daily Devotional

STAND STILL: Daily Devotional

 “Listen, all you of Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat! Thus says the Lord to you: ‘Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s. . . You will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, who is with you, O Judah and Jerusalem!’ Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them, for the Lord is with you.” - 2 Chronicles 20:15, 17

INSPIRATION

When King Jehoshaphat and the little tribe of Judah were besieged on all fronts by three powerful and bloody armies advancing rapidly towards Jerusalem (2 Chron. 20), the king began to seek the Lord and pray with hope before the entire congregation of Judah. This is when the Spirit of the Lord came upon Jahaziel, who spoke the words of the Lord which we read in today's Scripture. When Judah heard these words of hope, he humbled himself before the Lord, bowing to him and worshipping him.


Today the Lord speaks the same words to you in your circumstances. Look to Him, because He loves you! You should not live in fear and discouragement when you know that the fight is not yours, but that of the Lord. Remain still and see God's salvation. The battle is up to Him, and you don't have to fight in it.


What do you do if you have no idea what to do? It's best to remain still. Remain still and see God's salvation in your situation.


But Reverend Kingsford, if I don't move, nothing will happen!


My friend, staying still is not idleness or doing nothing. It is an attitude of hope, and it implies keeping your hope anchored in the person of Jesus and having a sure and a trusting expectation of the good. When Pharaoh's marauded armies charged to the children of Israel, determined to destroy them, Moses simply declared to the terrified Israelites: "Do not be afraid. Keep still, and see the Lord's salvation" (Exodus. 14:13). The Hebrew language for salvation is Yeshua, which is in fact the name of Jesus. Salvation is therefore Jesus' person, and He is with you.


When you find yourself in a desperate situation, learn to position yourself – stand still and see the saving power of Jesus working in your name. He will neither leave you nor abandon you (Heb. 13:5). And while you concentrate, your thoughts, beliefs, and hopes on Him. He will guide you on what to do, just as He led Jehoshaphat to triumph over his enemies.

The Goodness of God - Daily Devotional

  Verse: Psalm 100:5 (NIV) - "For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations." Devotional: Today, let us reflect on the profound truth that God is good. His goodness is not contingent on our circumstances, but it remains constant, unwavering, and eternal. In Psalm 100:5, we are reminded that the Lord's goodness is inseparable from His enduring love, and His faithfulness transcends generations. As you begin your day, consider the goodness of God in the light of your own life. Think about the moments when His goodness has been evident, whether through answered prayers, unexpected blessings, or moments of divine guidance. God's goodness surrounds us, and even in challenges, there is a purpose that unfolds through His love. In times of joy, acknowledge the goodness of God with gratitude. In times of trial, trust in His goodness, knowing that He works all things for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28). Take a ...

Are You Being Led by the Spirit?: Daily Devotional

  “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” Romans 8:14 (KJV) Being led by the Spirit of God depends on knowing the voice of the Spirit. The Holy Spirit is a person, meaning that He is a divine personality having the attributes of a person. Therefore, He speaks, sees, feels, and expresses feelings as we do (John 16:13-14). He only speaks the Word of God, so it's easy to hear his voice as you meditate on the scriptures daily. Constantly feeding on God's Word and meditating on it daily builds your heart and makes it easier for you to listen to  when He speaks to you. When he speaks, you will feel it in your spirit and know that he is speaking to you; it is an experience that can be confirmed with the Word of God. Knowing how to be led by the Spirit is part of maturity, and God wants each of His children to be led by His Spirit. If you are led by the Spirit of God you will not be disappointed; You will always experience peace, joy, prosperity and vi...

A LIFE OF PEACE: Daily Devotional

  For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace - (Romans 8:6). Don't you just love the scriptures? Remember what we just read: It is said that if you have a carnal spirit, it will lead you to death. But if you have a spiritual mind, you will have life and peace. Easy writing; but absolutely profound! So take a look at your life; Do you live a hectic life? Is your life without peace? When people are nervous, distressed, disturbed and confused, it is because they don't have a spiritual mindset. The word is clear: if you have a spiritual mind, you will have life and peace. A spiritual or carnal mind is about the work of your mind, where you focus your attention. Carnally minded people only react to the things of this world; they are ruled by the flesh. Your focus should always be on the Word of God and the eternal realities of the Kingdom. In this way, in the midst of trouble and chaos, you will always have peace, a life without turmoil! I...
