HE
WILL PERFECT ALL: Devotion for Wednesday July 20, 2016
Text:
Psalm 138:6 – 8
Memory
verse: Psalm 138:8 -The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; your mercy, O
Lord, endures forever; do not forsake the works of Your hands.
Though the Lord God Almighty is high in the heavens,
yet he has respect to every lowly, humbled sinner; but the proud and
unbelieving will be banished far from His blissful presence. He views us from His
heavenly place with pleasure, thinks of us with care, listens to our prayers,
and protects us from evil. These are what He does for us especially those who obey
words and live according to all He commands us.
God is concerned in all that apprehensions His
people – our cares and worries. He sees to it that none of the precious things He
promised us, shall fail of completion. These include our lives, our strength, our
hopes, our graces, our pilgrimage, etc, which shall be perfected. God Almighty will
see to this and therefore, it is most sure that He will fulfill them. God will
perfect what concerns me means that God will fulfill His promises concerning me.
It is thus the prerogative of God to do it. It does not depend on our work. It is
of the grace of God as it is in our salvation.
Every person dreams and makes plans for the
future. Then he or she works hard to see those dreams and plans come true.
However, to make the most of life, we must include God’s plan in our plans. He
alone knows what is best for us; He alone can fulfill His purposes for us. As
you make plans and dream dreams, talk with God about them. This is the only way
He can perfect all that concerns us. We should not forget that the condition
upon which God perfects all that concerns a man is to walk before Him and be
blameless. Are you living the life God expects from you? How faithful and obedient
are you to His bidding?
Action: Write down the things
required of you for God to perfect all that concerns you and paste it in a conspicuous
position in your room so that as your eyes will go there always, it will remind
you of what you have resolved to do.
Prayer: Help me, O Lord, to keep
to the things required of me so that you can perfect all that concerns me.
