40 Days in the Word - Power of the Word नमूना
Theme | I Will Rescue You
From | Matt Stenhouse
Verses | Psalm 37:39-40, 2 Corinthians 1:9-10, Psalm 18:2
The promise of God for the future is a promise of salvation and deliverance. God delivers us from death; as Jesus was raised from the dead, so also shall we be raised. In Psalm 37, the psalmist also tells us that we shall be delivered from the wicked.
Who are these wicked? At first, we may be inclined to think that the wicked are bad people, perhaps our enemies or those who have wronged us. Surely in the age to come, God will save us from horrendous evils that have gone before us and continue on the earth to this day.
Whilst this is good news, it should never be far from our minds that Jesus came to save sinners - of whom we are the worst. Jesus delivers us from the wicked precisely by saving us from ourselves, all that is evil and sinful within us. As Psalm 37:38 tells us, “But all sinners will be destroyed; there will be no future for the wicked.”
Prayer | God of hope, shower us with Your mercy; Lord Jesus, purify us like silver with Your refiner’s fire; Holy Spirit, flow like a spring welling up to eternal life. Amen.
यस योजनाको बारेमा
God often uses “40 days” to complete a spiritual challenge. The challenge can involve overcoming temptation like Jesus in the desert, or preparing for an encounter with God like Moses on Mount Sinai, or the strengthening of an individual’s faith exemplified in stories like Noah’s Ark, Jonah, or David and Goliath. Over the next 40 days, we will engage with the Word, seek God, and take hold of His promises.
