God Alone is Our Deliverer - Saturday's Dose - 24th June 2017



“In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence” - (Ephesians 3:12).

Thoughts for Today

To walk truly in confidence, we must realize its source. If we place our full confidence in our human abilities, we will be sorely let down time and again. No matter how accomplished we are, no matter how much intelligence we have acquired, no matter how talented we may be—God alone is our deliverer, and He must be the One upon whom we rely.

Though David was being run ragged through the mountains, fleeing a mad king, he never lost confidence that God was going to deliver him. However, David ventured into new situations with extreme caution, consulting the Lord before acting. "[David] inquired of the Lord, saying, 'Shall I go and attack these Philistines?'" - (1 Samuel 23:2).

True champions do not lose their confidence because they know they alone are not the sole source of victory. They understand that their confidence rests in a loving heavenly Father, who has hopes and dreams for their lives far beyond what they could ever imagine.

David knew that while he was fleeing King Saul, he was under the protection of God's wing. During our journey with Christ, we can probably mark with ease the days, months, and years when we were seeking direction from Him. And with the same ease, we can tell when we were not.

When prayer becomes a discipline in our lives, we will remain confident in God, walking closely with God into what He has called us to do. When we inquire of the Lord, asking Him to prepare the way for us to walk in His calling, He is faithful to do so.

Prayer: Our Loving Heavenly Father, 
Instill in me the discipline to seek Your direction at every decision-making point in my life. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, In Jesus Loving Name I Pray, Amen."

Have a Blessed Saturday and God Bless you.
