Jayamsih!!! Welcome to today’s devotion.
Faith That Waits on the Promise
Psalm 30:5
- A mind that God is against Satan’s cunning – Satan’s second attack is against the results of love; which is joy. Satan brings sorrow at night, so that love and joy can be stolen. Because of love, he wants to take the effects of joy and leaves us suffering from grief. Then, looking at it like this, grief and emotions make us incapable of love and trust. As we enter into grief as a response to what is seen, a deep circle is drawn into our souls to enable us to respond to what is seen. The more we live and respond to what we see, the more our abilities grow. We are naturally addicted to living according to visible evidence. Satan accuses God of not being rational and not proving what He says based on immediate evidence. Satan always gives us the look and feel of rationalizing our experience with his lies.
Sighing at night prepares us to receive God’s light in the morning. God wants us to carry the burden, while He has given us the light of life. Grief carries a burden in itself, which it refuses to lift, because of unbelief in Christ’s power to meet the need. God is familiar with our grief, for He wept over Jerusalem (John 11:35). This introduction ends with our realization that God has provided for our needs in this world. We have fullness of joy, because God’s sufficiency is born in our hearts.
