Day 188  God Defends His People

Isaiah 51:22   (NIV1984)

 This is what your Sovereign LORD says,
your God, who defends his people:

Have you ever felt like things were unfair and out of control?  Ever felt like you were helpless to help yourself?  How about violated where someone or something got the best of you—like things were falling apart all around you and there was nothing you could do about it?

Well, here’s what your God has promised you.  He said I am your God and I defend you!!

I don’t know about you but that is really good news to me!!  I need Someone bigger than me to watch out for me and what concerns me.  I need God to watch out for my family, my finances, my health and everything else that concerns me.  Then I can just go to sleep at night knowing…..Everything’s going to be alright!!

Prayer Focus:

Thank your wonderful God that He is always watching out for you—and what concerns you!

God watches out for “His people.”  Each of us must make up our own mind whether or not we want to be one of "His people."  God has given us free choice.  He wants everyone to choose Him but not all of us do.  If you aren’t sure, read the information below.  I pray it will give you either confirmation or direction.  Feel free to email me for further explanation.

God bless you,

How To Receive Jesus Christ As Savior

Maybe you are thinking, “I don’t feel like I am a part of this.  It’s like I am outside looking in.”  I want you to know that Jesus’ arms are wide open to you.  They were opened at the cross because of His overwhelming love for you.  (John 3:16)   Right now He is calling you unto Himself.  He knows that you are not perfect.  You don’t have to be to come to Him.  That’s why He went to the cross in the first place---for your sins.  Yes, for the sins of the whole world, but personally for your sins.  You can come into His outstretched arms and find rest for your soul.  You can put your head upon His chest and hear the beating of His heart of love for you.

We’ve all sinned and He died for all of us.  Some of us come to Him and some do not.  This is your time to come!!  You are not reading this by accident.  God is calling you to come right now!

Take a few minutes and meet Him at these verses below.  Let Him speak to you through them.

We are all sinners:

Romans 3: 10, 23,    Romans 5:8,     Romans 6:23

We can ask God to forgive us:

Romans 10:13,    Acts 3: 19

We can put out trust in Jesus and become His child.

John 1:12

We can confess that Jesus is our Lord:

Romans 10: 9-10

As you ask forgiveness of your sins and express your desire to live for Him, you will enter the family of God and never feel on the outside again!!

It’s time to pray.  Let me help you.

Prayer:

Father, I understand that Jesus Christ went to the cross and shed His blood for me.  I also understand by the scriptures that I am a sinner.  Jesus, forgive me for all my sins.

 (Let them come to mind.  Then see yourself giving them to Him.  As soon as they are in His hands, they disappear forever!!  Amazing!!)

 Be my Lord and my Savior.  I commit my whole life into Your capable hands.  Father, help me to hear Your instruction and direction,  and help me to live for You all the days of my life.  Thank You.  Amen.
