Devotional for August 29

Quote by Bruce Coleman: :The only way to enter the strait gate is to come to the Bible already determined to believe God."

Come to Believe God

1 Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord.
2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.
3 They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.
4 Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.
5 O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!
6 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.
7 I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.
8 I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.
9 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. Psalm 119:1-9 (KJV)

The Morning Exhortation

The enemy cannot read our thoughts. Only what we say and do. This is why praising God before we see what we have prayed for is so effective for getting the enemy to flee. The devil is the father of lies and heeding the lying vanities of the flesh will cause one to forsake the receiving of the needed blessing. The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy. Those who are deceived by the thief are bond to suffer sadness, sorrow, and depression. On the other hand, those who are willing to enter in through the narrow gate of believing God are led by the Holy Spirit with joy, gladness, and peace. The Holy Bible is the strait gate. The only way to enter the strait gate is to come to the Bible already determined to believe God. (1 Corinthians 2:11; John 11:40; Psalm 100:4; James 4:7; Jonah 2:5-8; Matthew 7:13-14; 1 Peter 2:2-3; John 10:10; Matthew 16:19, 7:7-8; Mark 11:23-24; Psalm 40:8; Matthew 25:21, 28:17-20)
