My dearly beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Our Lord Jesus Christ obeyed His parents in everything (Luke 2:51). When you obey God’s word in everything, He is mighty to bring about marvellous miracles in your life. Are you obedient to your parents and family members? Ponder over it. In case you have been disobedient, submit yourself to God and seek His help to lead a life pleasing to God. When Apostle Paul writes about obedience, he says: “submitting to one another in the fear of God.” (Ephesians 5:21). Yes, we need to be submissive.
When we obey God’s word, He changes adverse circumstances in our favour. Perhaps all the circumstances in your life are unfavourable and against your progress. But when you obey God’s word and submit yourselves to Him, He is mighty to change the hostile situations in your favour!
We read in the Bible in Genesis 31:7, 24 about the grim state of Jacob’s plight. Laban troubled Jacob. Jacob was deceived by Laban and his wages were changed ten times, but God did not allow him to hurt Jacob. Even though Laban put Jacob through many calamities and catastrophes, God did not allow Laban to crush Jacob because He was with Jacob. When Laban intended to destroy Jacob, God appeared to him in a dream and warned Laban to leave Jacob alone.
Since God was with Jacob, he became exceedingly prosperous (Genesis 30:43). In Genesis 32:10 we read how Jacob thanked God with a grateful heart. He says, “I am unworthy of all the kindness and faithfulness You have shown Your servant. I had only my staff when I crossed this Jordan, but now I have become two camps.” Jacob was victorious because of his obedience to God’s word.
Today the circumstances in your life may be unfavourable? Hold on to God ! He will change the adverse situations in your favour! Do not be worried!
When you make a commitment to obey the Lord’s word, He will gladden you with countless miracles! He will clearly show you the way you should go! So be bold!
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day.Father, I implore you to be with my children as you were with Jacob in the Bible. Help them to be obedient to you and others. Make all the things favourable to them. I believe that You can turn any circumstance in their favour. Guide them to live a life of obedience to You.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
