MY DAILY COVENANT WITH GOD DEVOTIONAL
Devotion for Tuesday June 16,

Topic: When They Remembered God
Text: Judges 6:7 – 10
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 (Luke 15:11 - end.
The
people of Israel 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 the sinfulness of sin, as disobedience to God, is chiefly
lamented. 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,
what are you suffering at this moment? Are you sick, in prison, indebted, etc.?
Whether it may be that came 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 you sure you
were not the one 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 (Isaiah 59:1 – 2).
Food for Thought: Psalm 60:1 – 3 (Living Bible)
Memory verse: Judges 6:7
Prayer:
Cause me never to forget you O Lord so I will not suffer the consequences of
forsaking you in Jesus name.
