MY DAILY COVENANT WITH
GOD DEVOTIONAL
Devotion for Friday October 2, 2020
Topic: Our God Is Not Handicapped
Text: Isaiah 59:1 – 8
It is erroneous to believe that God is handicapped. It is the
belief of some many people that is why their miracles elude them and that is
the reason some give up the faith and drop their bibles.
In 1 Samuel 5:1 – 5, is the story of how God proved that He is not
handicapped and can fight for Himself. His Ark of Covenant was taken to the
shrine of Philistine god, Dagon and He brought the statue down on two
occasions. Unlike the Muslims who always take to arms when they perceive that
Mohammed their prophet has been blasphemed. Our God fights for Himself. If we
are not saved and our prayers are not answered, it is not because God is
handicapped or incapacitated.
Here we see sin in its consequences; exceedingly hurtful,
separating from God, and so separating us, not only from all good, but to all
evil and their consequences. Yet there are many who derive joy in living in
sin. This is very unfortunate!
Because God is holy, He cannot ignore, excuse, or tolerate sin as
though it didn’t matter. Sin cuts people off from Him, forming a wall to
isolate God from the people He loves. No wonder this long list of wretched sins
makes God angry and forces Him to look the other way. People, who die with
their life of sin, separate themselves eternally from God.
Finally, let us always search ourselves because our salvation is
not because God is handicapped but because of our sins. Have you confessed to
God and repented of them, allowing Him to remove it? The Lord can save you if
you turn to Him. Maximize this opportunity because He is ever willing to save
you if you can repent.
Food for Thought: You can hinder your salvation and blessings not because God is incapacitated.
Memory verse: Isaiah 59 v 1
Prayer: God, I repent of my sins today (mention them) because they are hindrance to my blessings in Jesus name.
