BRING GOD INTO THE PICTURE (3)

TIMES OF REFRESHING ONLINE DAILY DEVOTIONAL www.thefountspring.org

DATE: THURSDAY, 22 DECEMBER 2022

Over again, the miracle we seek is found when we bring God into the picture of our situations and circumstances. But then, most of the time, we’re praying them away. The truth of the matter is God works in the trouble. Sometimes, the answer to our challenges is not in praying them out, it’s in what God is going to do in the situation. This is true for the power of God is being perfected and is completed and shows itself most effectively in our weaknesses (2 Cor 12:9). So, instead of just praying the troubles away, we bring God into the picture. See Isaiah 43:2, the Bible says,

SCRIPTURE: When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. (Isaiah 43:2 NIV)

REFRESHING FOR THE DAY: So, from our anchor Scripture, it’s interesting to note that God didn’t say, “I’ll keep you out of every fire, you won’t have to face any troubles”. No, He said, “The challenges will come”. There will be adversities and things we don’t understand, but the whole key to this verse is when He said, “I will be with you in the fire, and in the flood”. So, beloved, are you trying to get out of something, that God is going to take you through? Are you fighting the process? Everything will change if you’ll start inviting God into your troubles, bringing Him into the picture. He’s already promised He’ll be with you, maybe He’s just waiting for your invitation. Stay Refreshed!

NOTE THIS: When you bring God into your difficulty, you’ll feel Him breathing in your direction, empowering you, enabling you, and favoring you.

RESPONSIBILITY: So, now, why don’t you go ahead and bring God into the picture of your life.

PRAYER: O LORD, I bring You into the picture of my life, give me the grace to overcome every trouble and negativity in my life, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

PROPHETIC WORD: May the Lord take away your troubles and negativity, and give you success, in the name of Jesus’ Amen!

BIBLE TEXTS: Isaiah 43:2, 2 Cor 12:9
