FAITH CAPSULE: Your new month or season is your new relocation by the mercy of God.
Genesis 19
It is written, “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Laud Him, all you peoples! For His merciful kindness is great toward us and the truth of the Lord endures forever.” (Psalm 117) Mercy of God was in place for Lot and his family but Lot’s wife failed to see the mercy of God in her relocation. As an acclaimed believer, do you see God in your relocation? Mercy of God has relocated you into your new season or a new month. Your new month is moving you forward.
A failure to see that God is moving you forward is the passage to self-destruction. Think of it and know that challenges you have carried through the past month into new month shall not be permanent. Believe it, confess it and know that, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all.” (Psalm 34:19) Your new month shall not run out without your God’s visitation for your deliverance in Jesus name. Regardless of any provoking challenge in your new month, refreshing hand of God shall answer upon your life fully. In this new month, your relocation, you are to burst out with constant thanks giving to God. Know it that all things work together for good when giving thanks for all things are in place in man’s life. Embrace where you are with thanks giving to God and allow the past to be in the past. Glorify God so that He may be glorified in the life He has given you. Having life today is not because of merit but because of His mercy. Having life today is not a right but because of the privilege of God.
Those who live by faith will see in faith and move by faith knowing that the truth of the Lord endures forever. The truth of God is in His word. He gave His word to warn Lot stating, “…Escape for your life! Do not look behind you nor stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be destroyed.” (Genesis 19:17)
An escape from self-destruction demands setting sight on the Unchanging changer, the Commander of commands. The word of God was too difficult for Lot’s wife to obey because she could not look away from her past, her comfort zone. The Bible recorded that Lot’s wife looked back behind him and she became a pillar of salt. (Genesis 19:26) Could it be that your relocation is God’s way of repositioning you for better? What is it in your past that cannot be forgotten and is causing you not to see God ordering your step? Looking back is an evidence of worry instead of glorifying God. God is moving you forward, relocating you in a new month. God’s deliverance and His preservation will answer for you as your portion in Jesus name.
Prayer for today: Ask God to take over your days and your moments for His name to be glorified over your life.
