August 10, 2018 Our Daily JOURNEY Devotional : Topic - Like a Tree

- ,
--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

Read: 

Isaiah 57:15-21, 58:1-10
Feed the hungry, and help those in trouble. Then your light will shine out from the darkness, and the darkness around you will be as bright as noon (Isaiah 58:10).

I love the powerful song “We Shall Not Be Moved.” The song captures a unique vision of true peace. Like a firmly planted tree, being deeply rooted in God gives us the courage to stand firm for His justice—even when we’re surrounded by powerful forces of corruption.
Isaiah 57:1-58:14 captures a similar dynamic, in which God promised that if His people humbly turned to Him, they would find new courage and “abundant peace” (Isaiah 57:15,18-19). But first they needed to be shaken out of their complacent, superficial faith. Although they acted “so pious,” seemed “delighted to learn all about” God, and fully expected Him to be impressed by their zeal and “take action on their behalf” (Isaiah 58:2), God saw that their worship was really only about themselves (Isaiah 58:3).
Because even as they went “through the motions” of fasting and penance (Isaiah 58:5), they were exploiting others (Isaiah 58:3). If they really wanted to please God, they would be pouring out their lives for the “wrongly imprisoned,” “the oppressed,” “the hungry,” “the homeless,” and others who desperately needed their help (Isaiah 58:6-7).
It’s a challenging and convicting message, especially for people like me who’ve grown up in churches with relative privilege and power. Are we really growing deep roots in God and His ways—which leads to sharing our lives with the hurting—or are we just going “through the motions”? (Isaiah 58:5).
When we draw closer to God’s just and beautiful ways by joining His restoring work (Isaiah 58:12), we’ll also experience our own wounds gradually healing (Isaiah 58:8). We’ll experience the wonder of Him nourishing and strengthening us—guiding us to deeper, more refreshing waters (Isaiah 58:11-12).
NLT 365-day reading plan passage for today: John 10:1-18
