Our Daily Walk with Christ - Sabbath Devotional - August 24, 2024
If your life is difficult then study the lives of Joseph and Abraham. The Bible gives us true knowledge of people who struggle with the same issues we face. King Solomon said, "There is nothing new under the sun." Until we accept our God-given purpose, our lives will never reflect spiritual growth and transformation nor will our earthly accomplishments reflect the faith and works that indicate we are preparing for eternal life.
"I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you." —Psalm 32:8
Resistance to letting God lead us results in practicing Compromised Christianity—attending church but never changing and growing spiritually. Deciding to commit and consecrate oneself to follow Jesus Christ gives us true peace and victory despite our trials and hardships. Throughout the Scriptures, we find righteous men and women who dedicated themselves to surrender and faithfully obey God and had the assurance they would receive the Crown of Life.
"I know that my redeemer lives and that in the end, he will stand on the earth...
And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God; I myself will see him with my own eyes—I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me!" —Job 19:25-27
Yes, Job suffered greatly, but he proclaimed victory because Job truly believed in Jesus' promise that He would come again to take the righteous to heaven. Where do we stand? Live for Christ. True victory can only be obtained through the Righteousness of Christ. Heaven is real. We cannot afford to choose the temporary things of this earth and forfeit the reward that Jesus died on Calvary's cross to give us.
Declaration of True Surrender: "I have decided to follow Jesus and whether I lose family, friends, or wealth, I am going to heaven to receive my reward, Revelation 22:12." Amen.
