(Today's devotional is based on 1 Kings 20: 1-19 which you can read here.)
Good Morning Church!
Today I was reminded once again that God has a purpose in every deliverance He provides. And there are many!
In this chapter of 1 Kings, the Lord provides deliverance for Ahab, the king of Israel. Twice, in verses 13 & 28, God tells Ahab that His deliverance is so King Ahab will "know He is Lord." He is Lord of the mountains--the big things that come our way. And He is Lord of the plains--the so-called easy, everyday things we go through.
God wants to show you that He is in control of all of your circumstances. But it has to start with you.
Suddenly a prophet approached Ahab king of Israel, saying, "Thus says the Lord: 'Have you seen all this great multitude? Behold, I will deliver it into your hand today, and you shall know that I am the Lord.'" So Ahab said, "By whom?" And he said, "Thus says the Lord: 'By the young leaders of the provinces.'" Then he said, "Who will set the battle in order?" And he answered, "You."
In order for Ahab to experience God's deliverance, he had to put his faith into action and get in the battle.
What's your battle today?
I am praying today that you will put your faith into action and get in the battle. Then you will see that He is Lord of the mountains and the plains.

The big things:
ReplyDeletemy marriage, the faith of my children in Jesus alone,
The little things:

Me...I will start by making a list of things I believe You want me to do today and ask you to help me accomplish them.
Thank you Jesus for the reminder.
