Today I dwelled within Ezekiel and Jeremiah and also enjoyed two certain songs. So, without further ado, here are my devotions from today!
I always start my devotions with a prayer on one page and then the following page has notes and such. So, my prayer today was for the Holy Spirit's fulfillment. So there's that and other little details. The next page that has my notes, as aforesaid, started with song devotion.
"In Your Eyes" by Hillsong Young & Free, has a great message and is such a bump! A lyric that really stood out to me was "When I look in your eyes, I find the clarity to life." I really cherish that statement because, life can often be very confusing and sometimes things happen in life that a "skip" button would be helpful for. However, whenever we don't understand the physical, we have to comprehend the unseen manifestation working in our favor. Jesus provides clarity in life and that is one of His potent promises, that will be kept. Why? Because the God I serve stands by His promises, because His promises are sacred.
Another song I really liked this morning was "Even When the Fight Calls" also by Hillsong Young & Free. "You made my fight your own." This is such a powerful lyric because it goes to show that the champion and creator of all, takes up our battles, fought them and already won them. It can be so easy to become discouraged in our "fight" but we have got to be still and know God is God and we need to stop fighting when the fight has been won. Another lyric is " I know you are greater, forever you are Savior. I will sing your praise, with all that I have, with all that I am Lord." As well as "I'll stare down the waves, for You own the tide." So powerful and such evident truths.
As for my Bible portion, I leaned more into Ezekiel and Jerimiah. Ezekiel 28:22 says " I will be glorified in your midst; and they shall know that I am the Lord." I love, love, love this verse because it reminds me that God always shows himself and in all things, and in all our life, He WILL be glorified and we can be still and know he is Lord. I went on reading Ezekiel 28:26 and that goes on to say, "They will dwell safely and securely." God is a good father, the ultimate dad. If our own parents want to protect us, how much more could our creator? I then moved on reading Jerimiah 39:18. This verse states "For I will surely deliver you, and you shall not fall by the sword; but your life shall be as a prize to you; because you have put your trust in me, says the Lord." God once again, assures that we are safe in His grace and that our lives are worth it and overall a prize
With all of that being said, it seems as if my theme for today's devotions is God's promise of safety. It's an amazing thing to know we have a God who unconditionally loves us and looks out for us. I hope you enjoyed reading this and take something away from it!
