DAY 40 - Faith In God

DAY 40

Read: Job 1:1-9

My faith in God is not dependent on what I get from Him nor does it have any ulterior motive. It is not directed by what He chooses to withhold from me. It is irrespective of the way my prayers are answered. Worshiping Him, enjoying His presence in my life and celebrating His love for me is far greater than anything else.

Job 1:9 says: “Satan answered the Lord, Does Job fear God for nothing? In the book of Job, we find an interesting dialogue about Job between God and Satan. Satan insinuates that Job loves God because of all the blessings God has given him. That is the reason he worships God. God states that even if all the blessings are taken away, Job will still worship Him.

In our present situation, with the challenges we are facing, God calls us to worship Him, continue to love Him. Even though earthly blessings seem to be withdrawn in terms of job loss, financial difficulties, sickness, will we still love Him?

Job 13:15 says; ‘Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him, I will hope in Him, I will present my case. Job 1:21,22 says: “The Lord gave, and He has taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord. In all these things Job did not sin. He tore his clothes fell down to the ground and worshipped God”.

Job’s life is an example of true worship, exemplary faith, endurance and steadfast love.

:: Prayer ::

Dear Lord, help me to continue to worship You and serve You even when life is difficult because You are faithful, and I have put my trust in You. 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
