This devotional for me is more transparent into my life at this moment. I feel an urgent need to have peace in this season to just bask in the glory that is our God. To sing Him praises and give Him reverence. I chose this as the devotional to share because God knows our heart and there are others who need this message like me. I asked God, “What is it that I am missing? I try to walk on the right path daily, I do my best to be an example of what your word teaches and says. What am I missing Lord? He answered instantly and led me to:
“Submit to God and be at peace with him; in this way prosperity will come to you. Accept instruction from his mouth and lay up his words in your heart. If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored: If you remove wickedness far from your tent and assign your nuggets to the dust, your gold of Ophir to the rocks in the ravines, then the Almighty will be your gold, the choicest silver for you. Surely then you will find delight in the Almighty and will lift up your face to God. You will pray to him, and he will hear you, and you will fulfill your vows. What you decide on will be done, and light will shine on your ways. Job 22:21-28
As I reflect on the power of God and what I was to get from this passage the words came alive. Every area and every thing in my life needs to be submitted to God. I can not leave out one thing because that one thing that I choose not to give Him will taint everything else. For some of us it may be finances, a relationship, or perhaps our children. We must give it all to Him so He can make it clean and when we do He will provide the peace that we are lacking just as calm as the ocean breeze on a Summer day. He speaks to us daily and throughout the day we must be sure to not be so busy that we miss His voice. As we acknowledge Him each day He will direct us. Some things may have to be given up or set aside for a season but surely He knows what is coming and what we need to make it through. Trust His word that He tells you. We all know He is faithful. Give whatever you’re holding back to God. Release it today and He will take care of you and it. Be blessed as we continue strong for this Month. God is still at work.
Peace that surpasses all understanding,
Raquel Glover
