Daily Devotion -Believe And Never Doubt

Believe in the Lord your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets and you shall prosper -2 Chron. 20:20.

If God said it, just belive it. Whatever He promised, He will fulfill. He is the God who never forgets. If He said He will do something, it will surely come to pass. Believe and never doubt. Let's look at some examples in the Bible of God fulfilling His promise. He promised Abraham that He would bless him with a son who would be born from his union with Sarah and would be the heir in Abraham's household. It took so long that Abraham and Sarah thought they would help God fulfill this promise by having a child through Sarah's maid Hagar (Sarah was barren). God in His faithfulness blessed Abraham and Sarah twenty-five years after He made the promise to Abraham and still blessed the child born through Sarah's maid Hagar.

Joseph the great grandson of Abraham received a message from God through two dreams that his family would serve him Joseph, the son of his father, Jacob's "old age." After being sold into slavery by his brothers, serving time in prison for a crime he did not commit, some thirteen years later when he had forgotten about the dreams, God elevated Joseph to the second highest position in Egypt where he was sold into slavery. His family did come and pay obeisance to him.

The final example is God's promise to Abraham that after four hundred years of captivity in Egypt He would deliver Abraham's descendants and take them to the land Abraham was then sojourning on. After four hundred years of captivity in Egypt, God certainly kept His promise and raised up Moses to be used to by Him (God) to deliver the children of Israel out of Egypt.

Is there something you know the Lord promised but it has been so long you wonder sometimes if He is still remembers or is going  to do it. Belive that He still remembers and will do it. Never doubt God on His promises. A day in God's sight is like a thousand years and a thousand years is like one day. He doesn't forget. He never forgets. Even when men forget He doesn't. He is God.

Prayer: Lord let us never doubt or give up on any promise You've made to us. Amen.

Encouragement: Believe in the Lord your God and you shall be established; believe His prophets and you shall prosper.
