Opening Prayer:
Father, in the name of Jesus, thank you, God, that we’ve made it through another day. Thank you, God, that we are settling in tonight, getting snuggled in our warm beds, oh God. I thank you right now for the grace and glory of God, and if there be any one of us, God, that doesn’t have a bed to sleep in tonight, I thank you, oh God, that she has her breath in her lungs. I thank you, God, that she has the capacity to hear, oh God, and I thank you, God, that nothing lasts always. All things come and go. The only thing that lasts forever is you, oh God.
You are the everlasting God.
So I thank you, God, for every woman right now that is here for the evening devotional. I thank you, God, that she’s blessed and highly favored, that her situation is turning around to line up with your will and your way for her life, and that for every woman of God, we would experience, God, the peace of God.
For you are God in the midst of us. You are our great God. We know you love us, oh God, and I pray in the name of Jesus that your will and your way, God, will go forth like never before. I pray for the blessing of the Lord over this mighty woman of God, the peace of God as she sleeps tonight, that her sleep be drenched in your spirit, oh God, and that the weighty glory of God cover her entire family.
The blessing of the Lord, oh God, which makes rich and adds no sorrow, let that be the weight, oh God, that sits on the mighty woman of God tonight. I thank you, God, for sweet sleep and great peace. In Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.
We serve a mighty God. Our God is able to change everything, anything. We look to the scriptures for His will. We look to the scriptures for our day-to-day lives. We (humanity) often use the scriptures to mitigate behavior in an attempt to control and coerce, to prove it, or to demonstrate.
But what if the scripture became our resting place? What if the word of the Lord became our pillow? What if it became the thing that we lived in, breathed in, and then we would begin to just write the word of the Lord in our hearts that we might not sin against God, versus using the scripture to try to convince or coerce others?
We see that sometimes through churches where the word is used to admonish, it is used to correct, or it’s used to restructure thought. But what if the word became something where we took that word in hand and we received the word of the Lord? We received it for ourselves. We rested it on our hearts. We received the scripture, which brings conviction in and of itself, but also brings comfort.
What if we took God at his word in everything: in our finances, with our children, and with our health, so that literally we could pray for anything, and God could do it?
That with man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.
That God is able to do great things.
That there’s nothing too hard for the Lord.
That He is our great God.
That the Spirit brings life and prays for us when we don’t even know what to pray.
What if these scriptures became something we would breathe, live, eat, that we would meditate on day and night, that we would have good success, that we would make our way prosperous?
What if today became the first day that you began to see the miracle-working God every single day?
That you would see that the breath in your lungs is a miracle?
That you would see that being able to drive on these highways and come home safe is a miracle?
That you can get in your car and press the gas, and it’s a miracle?
What if we saw these tiny miracles as evidence that God is mighty? That we saw these scriptures as evidence that the king of the universe, the creator of the cosmos, was speaking to us through the word?
How would we collectively see the word differently? How would you individually change your life if the word became something you would eat, breathe, apply, write on your heart, believe the miracles, believe the signs, believe the wonders, and believe that there is nothing too hard for God?
What would happen if you believed?
How would you move if you believed? If you knew that we had a good Father who would catch you, that there is no risk when you’re walking with Him. There is no risk when you are walking in the word of the Lord. There is no heaviness that he can’t break. There is no grief that he cannot heal through us. There is nothing too hard for God.
The word of the Lord is a miracle. The breath of God is a miracle. Us being here now alive and well in our righteous mind is a miracle. Giving thanks in all things, let us see the miracles, the signs, and the wonders.
And regardless of the heaviness and all of the things we struggle with, let us turn to God in joy and thanksgiving because He is a miracle-working God. Because you’re here. Your very life is a miracle. You’re breathing. You’re alive.
Let’s turn to God and just bless him. I pray that you spend the evening blessing His holy name, lifting him up, and trusting that as you bless his name and as you lift him up, that your gratitude is opening the door to thanksgiving, to peace, and to triumph in Jesus’ name.
I pray that this blesses you, and I’ll see you in the next evening devotional. Good night.
Good evening.
