WHEN THEY REMEMBERED GOD: Devotion for Monday June 6, 2016
Text: Judges 6:7 – 10 Memory verse: v 7
The
best thing to do in time of distress or when we are suffering due to our sins
is to remember that God is ever willing to welcome us back to Himself and to
forgive us like the Prodigal Son. They remembered God, cried to Him for a
deliverer, and He sent them a prophet to teach them. This shows the importance
of the word of God in our salvation, deliverance and healing. When God
furnishes a land with faithful ministers, it is a token that He has mercy in
store for it. He charges them with rebellion against the Lord; he intends to
bring them to repentance. Repentance is real when we lament our disobedience
and sin. The only hope of deliverance from sin and its consequences is in the
Lord; and when people have this understanding, and cry unto Him, He sends help
for Christ's sake.
Beloved,
are you suffering at this moment? Are you sick, in prison, indebted, etc?
Whether it is as a result of your sin or not, the best option you have now is
to remember God and go to Him. You can’t heal yourself or deliver yourself from
bondage. God is the only one that can help us. Some people query God for
abandoning them at the mercies of the devil but are they sure they were not the
ones that abandoned God? We should know that God is ever willing to help us but
most times it is our sins that forms barrier against God whose righteousness
forbids sin (Isa. 59:1 – 2).
Food for Thought: Psalm 60:1 – 3 (The Living Bible)
Prayer: Cause me never to forget you, O Lord, so I will not suffer the consequences of forsaking you in Jesus name.
