It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God. When was the last time you found yourself praising God for the little things He has done in your life? For each morning He allowed your eyes to see. Each meal He enabled you to enjoy. The clothes you choose to wear each day. When was the last time you told God how much you loved Him? For the way He watches over you day in and day out. How He protects you against the attacks and traps of the enemy. The way He continues to allow your ends to meet even when you were unwise and undisciplined with your spending. When was the last time you testified about the goodness of God to someone else? For the doors He has opened in your life. The many opportunities He has blessed you with. The favor He has bestowed upon you. The power and authority He put within you. When was the last time you analyzed your life?
This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. So often in each of our lives we become so preoccupied with our daily affairs until we forget our top priorities. We often forget how we made it to where we are today. If it had not been for the Lord on our side, we would have been swallowed up by the enemy (Psalms 124:1-2). Seldom do we remember, each day, how patient and kind God has been toward us. Think of the times God told you to do it one way and you did it another way. My friend, Who Are We Without The Lord? The Bible declares in Psalms 8:4 – What is man, that Thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that Thou visitest him? How often do you really sit down and evaluate your life? Do you understand the power of God’s love for you? When everyone else gave up and walked away, it was the love of God that kept us from falling apart. Many people wrote you off. When you were in need of finances and food, many people ignored your plea. But God! It was Him who put your name on the mind of someone else. It was the Lord who pricked the heart of someone else to bless you abundantly. Who Are We Without The Lord?
My brother, my sister, what are you going through today? What dilemma are you faced with this morning? What situation or storm has your mind consumed? What family member or friend has you worried? Beloved, you must understand, if God did it before, He is able to do it again. The Bible declares in Numbers 23:19 – God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, and shall He not do it? or hath He spoken, and shall He not make it good? Who Are We Without The Lord? Child of God, we are nothing without the Lord. Our very existence is controlled by the hand of God. No matter what the enemy sends your way, your life is protected by the hand of God. No hurt or harm can overtake you, when you are in the shadow of the Almighty (Psalms 91:1). From this day, forward, it is time for you and me to live with the knowledge that we are nothing without the Lord. Prayer for Today: Father, I am nothing without you. Everything I am and everything I have belongs to you. I fully commit myself to You for the glorifying of Your name. I love You, in Jesus’ name … Amen!
