Devotional Day 2

Even in the unknown,  you are good.

Those are song lyrics from Life.Church Worship's song "You Are".

In the darkness,  let's be honest it will be hard to worship God. He knows it as much as we do since he sent his son onto this earth.

John 16:33 NIV "...In this world you will have trouble,  but take heart I have overcome the world"

See,  Jesus specifically tells us that there will be troubles.  This world is a messy place,  but Jesus told us that already.

Stop worrying about today and start focusing on tomorrow.  Jesus has overcome the troubles.

So yes,  though it may be hard to worship God in the dark.

But he is good?

Yes,  God is so good that he sent his one and only son to die for our lives.  And not to condemn us because our sins but to save us from our sins.

John 3:16-17 NIV "For God so loved the world he gave his one and only begotten son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.  17For God did not send his son into the world to condemn it but to save it through him"

Yes, God is so good!!!

So the end question is in your heart does that statement "Even in the unknown,  you are good" is that statement true to you in your life?

PRAYER: God, you are good,  and we thank you for that.  God we ask in the unknown that you be with us the whole way.  Amen.

DAILY SCRIPTURE: John 3:16-17

REFLECTION QUESTIONS:
1) Can you say that statement with pride in God?
2) Describe a time in your life when you felt in the unknown.  Share that with people around you.  Then reflect. Was God there in the unknown?

Raised In A Prosperity Gospel Church: Behind Closed Doors

This will be a fun story to tell. For the longest time when I was a kid me and my grandmother went to a Assemblies of God church which is known for the Prosperity Gospel. My grandmother put so much money into the church and she didn't know what this pastor was actually doing with the money. This pastor was spending the money on gambling. He claimed to his church members that the church would close. Turns out it eventually did due to loss of funds. My grandmother went into bankrupt because of this church. That is not all. This "pastor" claimed to be blind and losing all his health. My family members spotted this guy driving. I feel ashamed to call this a church. I believed in this church. I was fooled by this Pastor. But God gave me guidance into it. God saved me and my family from it and brought us to a church that is Gospel Preaching.

Song Opinion: "One Thing Remains" by Bethel

"One Thing Remains" by Bethel Music expresses the One Thing that has never changed over the ages and that thing is Jesus' love. The verse of the song goes: " higher than the mountains that I face stronger than the power of the grave constant in the trial and the change This one thing remains This one thing remains" Whatever we are going through Jesus will always be there. He is constant in the trial and the change, only One Thing Remains. I absolutely love how the Chorus goes: " your love never fails, it never gives up it never runs out on me  Your love never fails, it never gives up it never runs out on me  Your love never fails, it never gives up it never runs out on me  Your love" The one thing that never changes through the ages is his eternal love. Ever since he first sent Jesus Christ his love has endured forever. His love never changes. There may be pain in the night, but I can assure you that joy comes in the morni

Song Opinion: "Reckless Love" by Cory Asbury

"Reckless Love" by Cory Asbury reflects a love that is reckless. If you look closely at the word Reckless it comes out as " characterized by or proceeding from such carelessness:" But was God actually Reckless? It depends on how YOU define Reckless. If you look at the bible believe it or not Jesus was Reckless. If we look at the story whenever Jesus was in the temple and he supposedly flipped over many tables. He was reckless in that story. But he only flipped over 1 table because to be truthful if he flipped over many wouldn't he get kicked out of the temple.  But what was on that table, you ask? The answer to that question is Lambs to be sacrificed. But let's get to the song. Verse 1 of the song goes: Before I spoke a word, You were singing over me You have been so, so good to me Before I took a breath, You breathed Your life in me You have been so, so kind to me Yes God, has been out there since the very beginning, at least the song ha
