THE UNCHANGING LOVE OF GOD

 "Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet My unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor My covenant of peace be removed," says the LORD, who has compassion on you. —Isaiah 54:10 (NIV) 


Fear is a spirit—the very first spirit to manifest and trouble humanity after disobedience to God. This is evident when Adam responded to God: "He answered, 'I heard You in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.'"—Genesis 3:10 (NIV) 

Adam hid from God’s presence because he was afraid—he was filled with fear. Why was Adam afraid? After sinning, the enemy infiltrated his thoughts and spoke words that altered Adam’s perception of God. Based on what was happening in his life at that moment, Adam began to see God as an enemy. These lies created hostility between Adam and God, making Adam believe he was no longer acceptable before Him because of His nakedness.

That’s why God asked Adam, "Who told you that you were naked?" God knew there were voices Adam had listened to—voices that told him, “You’re not worthy before God because you’re naked.” Notice something crucial here: Adam didn’t hide because of the sin he committed but because he was naked. He openly admitted this. Furthermore, Adam didn’t ask God for mercy or forgiveness.

Why didn’t Adam ask for forgiveness?
It’s because he had already given up hope. The enemy had distorted his perception of God to the point where Adam felt utterly unworthy and convinced that God no longer wanted him. To Adam, asking for forgiveness seemed pointless. He no longer saw God as a merciful and loving Father. But the truth is, our God is not like that. He is full of compassion and love for us. He never changes, and His mercy toward us is everlasting.

This is why today’s Word speaks to you of his commitment to love you. Don’t let the enemy deceive you based on the circumstances in your life, the mistakes you’ve made, or the sins you’ve committed. Don’t believe that God’s goodness has departed from you. Let me assure you: God has not changed. He still loves you, and His goodness remains upon you. Through the covenant of peace in Jesus Christ, God will never leave you. He is always with you, in all situations, ready to save and help you.

Prayer: Lord, I thank You for Your goodness and mercy that are with me at all times. Amen.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS

  "I know what it is to be poor or to have plenty, and I have lived under all kinds of conditions. I know what it means to be full or to be hungry, to have too much or too little. Philippians 4:12 CEV" God’s purpose for humankind is for everyone to succeed, but each person has their own season. Just as each flower blooms in its own time, each of us has a time set by God. When that season comes, God will make you prosper. Until then, keep praying and working hard, trusting in His timing. When you look at your peers, former classmates, family members, or others in your age group and see their success, it’s easy to start comparing. Maybe a friend just built a new house or got a high-paying job, or perhaps someone you know is getting married. If you feel like you’ve achieved more, you may feel good about yourself. But if you feel like you’re still “behind,” it’s easy to feel discouraged and inadequate. This is where your perspective can become distorted. Some people think they ar...
