TAKE AHOLD OF THE HAND OF CHRIST

TIMES OF REFRESHING ONLINE DAILY DEVOTIONAL www.thefountspring.org

DATE: WEDNESDAY, 17 AUGUST 2022

We live in a fallen world, the times are so terrible, and many things have gone awry. But we have our consolation in Christ Jesus (Phil 2:1), and we need not to be afraid. You see, Jesus didn’t die so we could all be pitiful and pathetic and be afraid of everything. He died so that we could have a fruitful and amazing life (1 Thess 5:10). So, when we take a hold of the hand of Christ, no matter what’s going on in our lives, and how impossible our situation might seem, Jesus will sail us through them all (2 Cor 1:10), and would never allow us to be stuck in the middle.

SCRIPTURE: …And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. (1 Cor 10:13 NIV)

REFRESHING FOR THE DAY: So, beloved, hear this, in Christ Jesus everywhere is soft. He will fortify you and give you, the anointing of going through (Psm 118:8). Now, that doesn’t mean that nothing will come against you, but it does mean that even if you go through the fire, you’ll come out and not be burned. If you go through the flood, you won’t drown (Isa 43:2). If you go through problems, you won’t be overwhelmed (Isa 54:17). For greater is He that’s in you than he that’s in the world, (1 John 4:4). Stay Refreshed!

NOTE THIS: When you take a hold of the hand of Christ, He will never allow you to be put to shame. And as many as the trouble that’s against you, He will deliver you of them all.

RESPONSIBILITY: So, what are you waiting for? Come on, jump in the moving train of Christ.

PRAYER: O LORD JESUS, please come into my life, and take hold of me, in the name of Jesus’ Amen! (Go ahead and pray for other intentions as the Spirit leads)

PROPHETIC WORD: May the Lord help you and deliver you from the fowler of the enemy, in the name of Jesus’ Amen!

BIBLE TEXTS: 1 Cor 10:13, 1 John 4:4, Psm 118:8
