Still at the wheel of your life? It’s time to let Jesus drive.

May I say – Devotion for the day

Still at the wheel of your life? It’s time to let Jesus drive.

2 Samuel 17:28-29(NKJV)
Good morning dear Brother and Sister how are you doing today? Are you going through wilderness situation in your life? Then you need to read today’s devotion with utmost care. Some commentators believe that when David wrote the words, "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies" (Ps 23:5); he had in mind the events about which we read in today’s passage.

Driven into the wilderness by his son Absalom’s rebellion, David and his followers became desperately hungry, thirsty, and weary.

God came to his aid and directed to him three men who "brought beds and basins" (so that David could wash and refresh himself) as well as "pottery items... wheat, barley, flour, roasted grain, beans, lentils, honey, curds, sheep, and cheese."

How David must have rubbed his eyes in astonishment as he saw God provide for him a table "in the presence of [his] enemies." Can you cast your mind back at this moment to something "special" that God did for you to demonstrate His tender love and care?

How many times God came to your rescue but it’s sad that we forget them so soon.
God never does anything "special" in our lives just for the sake of doing it - it is done as a pledge for the future.

It is as though God is saying: "I will do this for you now, not only to meet your need, but also that you might always know you are the object of my love."

If new dangers like loss of a job, conflict in relationships, and loss of finances and fear of unknown future startle you with fear and depression please remember that you have forgotten the past mercies. I believe that David’s confidence in God was due to the fact that whenever he faced a new problem, he remembered the past hour of deliverance.

He is the same God who delivered you, supplied for you, protected you and had given breakthrough for you in every situation in the past will deliver you from your present situation and circumstance as well

So dear Brother and Sister don’t be disappointed sometimes we don’t feel like praying. But if there were ever a time that we need to pray, it’s when we don’t feel like it. We need to pray until we do feel like it.

Praying for you and for your situation, God bless you and give you a breakthrough you have been waiting for so long.
