19-DECEMBER-2024 - SAFE ARRIVAL
THE MAIN THEME: WHEN DO I GET THERE?
TITLE: SAFE ARRIVAL
The bible verse for today’s devotional is: I Thess 5:24 (NIV)
The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.
Devotional:
The question of “when do I get there?” shows that there is a destination we are meant to arrive in and it comes with so much intrigues, demonstrating our belief and trust in God and in our life journey. Understanding that life is a journey is key to determining how and when we get there.
In the movie “Pilgrim’s Journey”, the pilgrim encountered lots of challenges (hunger, taste, mockery, imprisonment) on his way to the promised gate, just like we do experience some setbacks and distractions today. However, he remained resilient because he believed and trusted that God never promised us an easy journey but a safe destination. “Lo I am with you to the end”
Jesus said to his disciples “Let not your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in me. In my father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. John 14:1-3
The Lord has prepared a place here and in heaven. The question is: will we arrive safely at our various promised lands and at the right time? It takes focus, dedication, hard work, resilience, faith, discipline, consistency.
Here are a few reflective questions:
- What are the subtle ways the enemy is using to put me off my focus?
- Do I even know where I am going?
- Do I know what I want to achieve?
Let us pray
Lord thank you for your word to me today, I received grace to finish strong. Help me to be consistent with my walk with thee in Jesus name. Amen
Please say these words of affirmation: Say them mean, own them and live them:
- God knows when I will get there
- I will never end my journey half way
- I will fulfil my purpose
Do have an awesome day dear ones, See you tomorrow
