LIGHT FOR THE WAY
(Daily Devotional)
Friday 20th October 2017
TOPIC: DEVELOPING THE
RIGHT ATTITUDE FOR THE BLESSING
TEXT: “ …I
am old and my wife is well advanced in years”(Luk.1:12-18)
When an
angel appeared to Mary and told her she will conceive, even though its not something
she has been praying for, she said ‘let it be unto me according to your word’(Luk.1:38Nkjv).
However, when an angel appeared to Zechariah, he was gripped with fear’.
When the
Angel told him ‘your prayers are answered…Elizabeth will bear you a son’
Zechariah asked ‘…How can I be sure? I am old and my wife is well advanced in
Years’. What happens when God answers your prayers, when He gives you a son
whose name has been determined, whose destiny has been decided? Or when He
gives you a job you always wanted, the relationship you never thought you would
ever have, or the ministry opportunity you didn’t think would come again. You can
either say ‘I cant’ or “bring it on LORD!”
But when
the time had fully come, God sent his son(Gal.4:4Niv) please note God doesn’t consult
with us to make sure His plans to bless
you lines up with our time table and meet our approval. He simply directs our steps
(Ps.37:23). He calls the shots, even when it means we have to run to keep up!
Sometimes
however, God will shake your foundation in order to develop the character to
handle certain kind of blessing. If you are a weight lifter you will understand
that it’s easier to carry weight when you are standing on solid ground. If you
are standing on a football for instance you can be sure the weight will come
down and crush you. One of the meanings of the word glory is weight. Can you
stand to be blessed? Do you have what it takes to handle God’s blessing when it
comes?
ACTION
PLAN FOR TODAY
*Do a self-check
and ask yourself, how is my attitude when things are not so good. A person,
that is given to anger when things are not so good, will likely be an arrogant
person when the situation changes for the better.

I
am an evidence that Jesus Christ is alive and at work. I declare that I am what
God says I am and I can do all that God says I can do.
