TODAY'S FOOD FOR THE SOUL Isaiah 30:15-26
TODAY'S RHEMA Isaiah 30:23 "He will also send you rain for the seed you sow in the ground, and the food that comes from the land will be rich and plentiful. In that day your cattle will graze in broad meadows."
Justin was the youngest son of a couple living in a suburban area. His parents were successful business moguls, but one of their fellows who cheated on them caused them to be in heavy debt. They started to sell the company assets, and not only that, they also sold their house and car. Even though they sold almost all things they possessed, the money couldn't cover to pay off the debt. They moved into a rented apartment and all things changed 180o. Justin's father fell sick and his mother had worked to provide for the family.
Fortunately, this family was a God-fearing one. Even though they went through hard times, they didn't blame God. They still gave thanks to God and kept asking God to show them a way out of every problem. Day by day, month by month, and year by year. For three years they lived in such condition, but they were still faithful to God. On a certain Christmas Eve, they received the best Christmas present ever. That night was an unforgettable Christmas Eve for Justin and his family. Someone knocked on their door and it turned out to be the man who cheated on them. He visited them to apologize and return the assets of the family. He even gave Justin's parents one company to run as his apology. Their lives were restored in one night.
In the story above, restoration happened in the life of Justin and family, because they listened to the voice of God. When we follow God' guidance, we will experience what God can do for us. Jesus is able to change our condition. Lack of abundance; a problem to victory; tears to joy. Whatever problem you are facing now, just listen and obey God's voice. Do not follow your own voice or other people's voices. Believe that His guidance will bring abundance into your life.
REFLECTION Saudara Terkasih, If you LISTEN and OBEY GOD'S VOICE, you will live in ABUNDANCE.
APPLICATIONS 1. In what aspects of life are you still struggling to hear and follow God's instructions? 2. What are those things that hinder you from hearing and obeying God's voice? 3. What commitment can you make to experience His divine guidance?
TODAY'S PRAYER "Thank you, Jesus, for everything that I've experienced. Teach me to hear and obey Your voice that through Your divine guidance, I may experience abundance in life. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen."
