RESTORATION TODAY
FRIDAY 4TH NOVEMBER 2016
BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP.
THEME: REST IN THE LORD.
?Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. Psalm 37: 7.
Too often, whether we voice the belief or not, we act as though God needs our help. We wrestle with Him for some degree of control over the events in our life. Somewhere in the back of our mind, we hear the oft-quoted counsel, God helps those who help themselves. In fact, the vast majority of Christians believe that this word of advice is found in the Bible. It is not.
Actually, this statement is entirely contrary to the Word of God, which instead tells us, Be still, and know that I am God (Psalm 46: 10 NIV). The Father knows we cannot help ourselves. That is the very reason He sent His Son to die because we were utterly helpless to improve our sinful condition (Romans 5: 8).
When we are quiet in His presence and focused on Him, we put ourselves in the most teachable position possible. What you discover in the stillness may revolutionize your call to Christian service.
ACTION POINT:
Are you too busy trying to keep with God? Lay down your efforts and simply become quiet.
SCRIPTURES:
Psalm 46:10; 62:1; 27:14; 40:1
Joshua 10: 12.
PRAYER POINTS:
1. Father, thank You for Your love for me in the name of Jesus.
2. O Lord, enable me to be able to rest in You in the name of Jesus.
3. Father, I am casting my worries upon You today, intervene in my life in the name of Jesus.
DAILY BIBLE READING:
1 Chronicle 17, 18
Ezekiel 17
John 6: 22 ? 40.
