Devotional for February 1

Bruce Coleman

Rest in the Shadow of the Almighty

1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Psalm 91:1-7 (KJV)

The Prayer Appointed for This Week

Almighty and everlasting God, you govern all things both in heaven and on earth: Mercifully hear the supplications of your people, and in our time grant us your peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. Book of Common Prayer

The Morning Inspiration

The world will cheer when you slay the giant, but the same people will turn against you when Ziklag is burned to the ground. Seek the friend who will never forsake you. Jesus Christ is the friend that sticks closer than a brother, the King of kings, the Lord of lords, the Almighty. Nothing is too difficult for the Lord. He has made us anew by His glorious power. Have faith in God. Trust Him with all your heart, and He will give you the peace we all desire. The faith that saves is a living faith. Not just of the lips, but also of the heart. A living faith causes the whole life to be ordered according to it. Give up all self-interest and unbelief if you would have all that God has for you. The Lord instructs us to first count the costs, because nothing of the old ungodly life is to be kept. All must be made new. We don’t do good works to be saved, we do good works because by faith we have been saved. The difference is extremely important to understand. Pray, because 100% of the results depends on God. Now go to work, because 100% of our responsibility is to trust the Lord.

Today’s Question to Consider

What cannot be done if we totally depend on God?

I'm passionate about being wholeheartedly devoted to Jesus Christ. Fitness is a beloved tool. Not to compete with faith, only used to support it.

One thought on “Devotional for February 1”

  1. Psalms 119:105 (KJV) Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
    When I was young we used to sing a song in church “this Little light of mine I’m going to let it shine”. Now I understand all light must have a source.

    Luke 2:49 (KJV) And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?

    Yes i,with my HELPER will go and be about my Father’s business.
