Daily Bible Reading - Tuesday - March 23rd

Can you believe we are already going into Deuteronomy? Wow how time flies when the reading is good and it really has been good hasn’t it?  It seems every other word I read in Deuteronomy this morning was rebel rebel rebel.  So many were rebelling against God. Can you remember a time that you rebelled against God? I can remember a few times, well a lot of times actually.  Seems I have rebelled many times against God yet He still loves me and only wants the best for me, isn’t that just like our God?  No matter what we do, say or anything God will always and forever love us. 

The devotional this morning really hits the spot as always actually.  God’s outstretched hand is always there when we need it, actually it’s always there no matter what.  As believers praise God we don’t have to go through life depending on ourselves but we have the outstretched hand of God to reach out to and help us pull ourselves together, to help us get through any and all situations, to help us get through the day.  God is always there for us no matter what the situation may be.  Whether we need a healing in our bodies, or maybe we need favor with someone or some company that we are having to deal with, or maybe we encouragement, what it may be God’s hand is always stretched out to us, all we have to do is grab it and He will do the rest, is that just awesome, just like a dad, always there for his children.

Daily Devotional

Isaiah 14:27, AMP
“For the Lord of hosts has purposed, and who can annul it? And His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back"

As believers, you and I have an advantage. We don’t have to go through life just depending on our own talent, our own ability, our own strength. The Scripture talks about how God’s hand is outstretched toward His people. That means there is a supernatural power behind every believer. God’s outstretched hand will help you accomplish dreams that you thought were impossible. His outstretched hand will cause you to get well even when the medical report says there is no way. The outstretched hand of God will help us to prosper even when the economy is down.

Let this sink down into your heart today. All through the day, imagine God’s hand outstretched toward you. It is a hand of healing, a hand of favor, a hand of restoration. No matter what you may be facing, you have to realize there is a force for you that is greater than any force that will ever be against you. You’re attitude should be, “I am not settling where I am. I know I have an advantage. As a child of the Most High, I know God’s hand is outstretched toward me."

A Prayer For Today: Father in heaven, thank You for Your outstretched hand of protection and provision for me. I choose to lay aside every fear and every concern knowing that You will make a way for me.
