MY DAILY COVENANT WITH GOD DEVOTIONAL

Topic: Hand Them Over to God
Text: Psalm 55:16 – 23
In
Matthew 7:7 and 8, Jesus told us to ask, seek and find, and it shall be given
to us. He did not restrict our asking to certain number of times rather He
enjoins us to ask as many times as we can (Luke 18:1). The Psalmist also enjoins
us to do same (Psalm 55:22) because he has been doing it and God has always
responded.
Here
he testifies and gave God all the glory for redeeming him. He was emphatic about seeking the face of God because he has the assurance that God will
sustain us. The reason God will answer us is because He does not permit the
righteous to slip or fall. Lack of basic necessities can make us slip off the
faith.
God
wants us to handover our burdens to Him (Psalm 37:5, 24; Matthew 6:25; Luke
12:22; 1 Peter 5:7). Unfortunately, we often continue to bear them even when we
say we trust Him. If we believe in God, we should handover our cares, worries,
needs, anxieties, apprehensions, burden, etc. to God. Why will you continue to
bear the burden you don’t even have solution to? On daily basis, we trust God
to wake us up and He does that. We should also trust the same strength that
sustains us to carry our cares also. God is waiting for you. Believe Him as you
go out today that He will surprise you.
Food for Thought: Dependence on God will keep the soul in peace
Memory verse: 1 Peter 5:7
Prayer:
God, I bring my burden to you for I know you care for me
