Wisdom For The Day Devotional 24 April 2024 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – Your Safety Is In Him
TOPIC: Your Safety Is In Him (TREM Devotional 24 April 2024)
“The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.” 2 Samuel 22:3 (KJV)
MESSAGE:
Child of God, in these times we are in and with a whole lot happening around us, your safety is only in God.
The Book of Proverbs 18:10 says, “The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it and is safe.” (KJV) To run means to rush and to stretch out like David, who pants after God. No wonder he was able to defeat Goliath. Now I know why Paul was always in pursuit of God. He said: “That I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.” Philippians 3:10-11 (NKJV).
To run to Him means to hasten to Him. It means God is your first point of call in every challenge you face, not the doctor. We thank God for doctors. They do their jobs. But first, go to God. Before you pop that tablet and those capsules into your mouth, go to God first. Pray over it. Close the door to every other suggestion and doubt. Find out what God has got to say in every situation. That is how to run to God. You ask, Lord, what is your view concerning this health situation? What is your view concerning my business? What is the next level? What should I do?
The righteous knows the value of God’s Word. Not everyone wants to hear God, but truly righteous people want to hear Him. If you believe in His promises, you will run to Him. The good thing is that you can hear from God anywhere with technology. Don’t stop hearing. Every other thing will not give you stability. The only thing that will give you stability is God’s pure, undiluted, infallible, and errorless Word. That is what you need!
