19 October: Isaiah 35:3-6
Key Verse: Isaiah 35:3
Strengthen the weak hands, and make firm the feeble knees.
Devotion:
These verses come just as I feel like I have had a rough week, getting up early and going to bed late. Nothing like a good night sleep in a cosy bed!
There are always going to be times when we feel like everything is going against us, or when we feel like we do not have enough hours in the day to do all we expect ourselves to do. It is at those times in our lives when we have to take a step back and allow someone else to do things for us instead of trying to do it all alone!
God may not physically be the one who steps forward and does the things you normally do, but he can make other people available who will be willing to step in for you.
The thing is, we don't always look at it like that. Far too often we think we have to continue doing things or nothing will be done. Or we think someone else has done it for us. Sometimes it is God working in their lives to encourage them to come forward and do what has to be done.
Points to ponder:
Do you thank God for organising things in the background?
Will you praise God for working in everyone's lives...
