Day 10: Ask in Accordance with God’s Promises
Come Before Him in Worship: Enter into this time with an expectant heart as you meditate on the steadfast, unchanging nature of God. He has never failed and He never will! Remember the ways the Lord has shown His goodness and faithfulness in your life and thank Him for that. Ask Him to increase your faith and trust in Him today.
“For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God.” 2 Corinthians 1:20
Devotion: Two days ago, we talked about praying in accordance with God’s will. One way we can be sure we are asking in accordance with God’s will, is to pray for the fulfillment of, or the receiving of His promises to us. This verse tells us that all the promises of God were sealed and confirmed by the revelation and work of Jesus Christ, to which our response can only be a full and confident “Amen!”
In the past week, we’ve spoken of the promise of His love for us, His forgiveness of our sins, His powerful presence in us, and many other things. But there are many other promises as well. Promises of protection, guidance, the supply of all our needs, etc. In Him, we have everything we need. In fact, in Christ are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge (Colossians 2:3), and all divine gifts. We have only to go and to ask for that which we need. (James 4:2)
Sometimes, however, God makes us wait for the fulfillment of His promises to us. Abraham, for example, waited 25 years for the birth of Isaac after God had given him the promise of an heir through whom his descendants would be as numerous as the stars. But Romans 4:20-21 tells us that, “No unbelief made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised.” It is through faith and patience that we inherit the promises. (Hebrews 6:12) So let us stand firm, trusting that God is faithful to fulfill all that He has promised!
Respond in Prayer: Lord, You are trustworthy and You keep every promise You make! How can I stand in agreement with the many promises given in Your word today? What specific promises have You spoken over my life that I need to receive with a wholehearted “AMEN”? Father, strengthen my faith as I wait to see the fulfillment of the things you have promised. Don’t let me waver in doubt and unbelief, even if the promise seems impossible or if it is taking far longer than I ever expected. I believe that You will come through in every area of my life where You have promised!
