Remain Faithful and Focused

Devotional Reading August 30 2023

The story of Joseph in Genesis chapters 37-50 reveals God’s Chosen Path every believer must travel to have steadfast faith and spiritual growth. Having faith in God gives us courage and confidence despite what our situation looks like. God is a God of impossibilities!

“But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it. And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows.” —Matthew 10:29-31 (NLT)

Do we believe that we are more valuable than a bird? Sadly, we forget the promises of God to never leave us or forsake us. Jesus paid with His life to ransom humanity from the wages of sin. “…Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you” (Jeremiah 31:3).

” ‘To whom will you compare me? Or who is my equal?’ says the Holy One.” —Isaiah 40:25

Keep striving to follow God’s plan for your life. Through daily worship, we learn to hear the Voice of God. Remain faithful and focused! Maintain your relationship with Christ through much prayer and Bible study. Do not waver in your belief of God’s powerful Divine Intervention. Pray, Wait, and Be Still until the Holy Spirit reveals the answers. God always leads us on the Path to Victory!

No adversity or temptation can crush us like grapes in a winepress. We place all of our hope in God because He never fails us. If God said it, then He will do it! By remaining faithful and focused, we persevere because God’s Divine power always brings us victorious outcomes.

Scripture Reading: “I would have lost heart [courage], unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living. Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!” —Psalm 27:13-14
