TOPIC: THE DECEIT OF THE DEVIL: Fear, Steps In (11)
MEMORY VERSE:
1 Peter 5:8.
"8. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:"
BIBLE READING:
Genesis 3:8-10.
"8. And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden."
"9. And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?"
"10. And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself."
We, at MOBILE DAILY DEVOTIONAL, wish all our readers, Merry Christmas, the joy of the season will not elude you, and the peace of God surrounds you as always in Jesus name, Amen.
Another consequence of disobedience is Fear. When we disobey God, we might seem bold but we begin to live in fear. Every act will be carried out with fear, that is why King Solomon put it this way,
"1. The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion." - Proverbs 28:1.
Disobedience implants fear; lack of confidence to approach God, it brings guilt and creates inferiority.
When God visited Adam and Eve in the cool of the day, they could not present themselves to God. The joy of the presence of God was gone, they were too bothered with much guilt to think about, so they hid themselves. We are privileged today to approach the throne of God from which mercy and grace has made available to us but it's still unfortunate that many still live in fear of approaching God because of their ways. As we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ today, I want you to see it as a privilege to approach your father and present yourself to Him totally. Subdue that fear, confess your wrong wholeheartedly and enjoy the peace of God. He is merciful and gracious, full of compassion, He loves us more than we can explain. Don't fall victim like Adam and Eve, approach God in the name of Jesus and confess your shortcomings, He is ready to erase those guilt off you.
Good Morning and God bless you.
