DAY 27

Read: Exodus 14:13-14                                    

Dallas Willard a great Christian philosopher said, “ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your lives”. Contrary to the world’s idea that a busy life and multitasking are important, research studies as documented by Dr. Caroline Leaf suggests that being calm and doing one thing at a time is necessary for healthy brain function. Multitasking is unhealthy for the mind. It is vital to be at rest and in quietness.                                       www.newhopetv.org

The Israelites when they were at the Red sea, thought that this was the end, they were going to drown and die. They were angry, grumbled and complained to Moses. Moses assured them not to be afraid but to stand by and see God’s salvation, that God will fight for them. It is important for us to be calm, to rest in God and trust in His awesome power. God will fight our battles for us. God knows our problems, the crisis we face, our fears. He calls us to recognize Him and to be assured that He is with us. The God who deeply loves us walks with us and will take care of us. We have nothing to fear. 

We can go through life with Him by our side. We need to learn to be still and know that He is God, to rest and relax in God, to enjoy God in the quietness of our hearts, to be preoccupied in His love as we respond to life around us. (Psalm 46:10)

We need to develop the art of resting in God, to cease striving. God is in absolute control of our lives; He will give us the strength and grace to go through the difficult times. As He makes all things beautiful in His time, we can rest in Him, taking on each day, each task and serving Him.

:: Prayer ::
Lord Jesus, forgive us for multitasking, for being so deeply occupied with many things. Our fears and our worries dominate us that we are unable to enjoy the quietness of your love in our lives. Transform us dear Lord. In Jesus name, Amen.

             Day 15  Read: John 20:19-23 Christ has destroyed the power of death through His work on the cross and His resurrecton. He is risen and He is with us. The disciples stayed behind locked doors in fear and isolaton afer Jesus was crucifed. The frst words Jesus spoke to them was, “Peace be with you” (John 20:19) And my peace I give unto you” (John 16:33). The Lord wants us to be in absolute peace and contentment. The word ‘Shalom’ implies absolute harmony, lacking nothing!                       www.newhopetv.org In the midst of the Coronavirus situaton, Jesus tells us to be at peace. We live discouraged, disheartened, disconnected lives, lacking joy in our relatonships. But in Jesus, we are more than conquerors. We can live in peace and harmony.

DAY 32 - God At Work

                            DAY 32 Read: Genesis 37:31-36 Psalm 53:5 says, they feared where no fear had been. Joseph’s brothers sold him off and informed their father that Joseph had been eaten by the wild animals. Jacob on hearing this news tore his clothes put on sack cloth and was a broken man. He refused to be comforted. Meanwhile, God was working in an amazing way. Joseph was taken by Potiphar, the captain in Pharaoh’s army. While Jacob wept, God was working out His plan.      www.newhopetv.org Often when we think all is lost and there is nothing to look forward to, God is still at work. He will fulfill His promises. He is in control of everything. Jacob was weeping for his son Joseph thinking he was dead while God was raising him up. Trust God to be true to His promises.  To be continuously sad is rebellion and disobedience toward God. :: Prayer :: Forgive us for weeping, grieving, being anxious, afraid and worried. You are working behind the scenes to make something beautiful

DAY 34 - Be A Blessing

                              DAY 34 Read: Genesis 40:1-8 Another important virtue we see in Joseph is his concern for the people around him. In Genesis 40:6, the cupbearer and baker are in prison and are dejected. Joseph asks them the reason and is led to help them. Though Joseph himself had enough problems of his own: being sold by his brothers, falsely accused, put in prison, he still chose to think of others. Look out for people who are suffering, it makes our dark periods lighter, it helps to shift the focus from ourselves to others. It makes us think less about ourselves and more about the needs of others. As Paul exhorts us, we need to look out for the interests of others. As we see in Job 42:10, God waited, as Job moved from his suffering to interceding and then to restoration.          As the renowned cardiologist, professional educator and author Dr. B.M. Hegde says that  “ I” “I” leads to Illness;  “ We “ We ” leads to Wellness/Wholeness/Health. Let us not be lost in self-pi
