“From the place where you are, look to the north, to the south, to the east and to the west; for all the land that you see I will give to you” (Genesis 13:14-15).
Everything you can see with the eyes of faith and obedience belongs to you. God does not limit those who trust in Him and follow His ways. Look as far as you can, because everything that God has revealed as a promise to those who serve Him is yours by right. Everything you desire to be as a Christian and all that you long to do for God is within the possibilities of faith and obedience. There are no barriers for those who surrender completely to the Lord’s will, for He Himself opens the way and grants strength so that we may reach what has been prepared for us.
Draw closer to the Father and allow His presence to transform your whole being. Open your soul to the influence of the Holy Spirit and receive the baptism of His presence. The closer we come to God, the more He reveals to us the fullness of His will, showing us that there are immeasurable spiritual treasures available to those who fear and obey Him. Believe that God has everything you need and that, by walking according to His commandments, you will experience an abundant life, filled with divine power and favor.
Accept for yourself all the promises contained in the Word of God. Do not hesitate to take possession of the desires He has placed in your heart, for these longings are signs of what He wishes to accomplish in your life. Obedience to God’s commandments opens the doors to countless blessings in this life and, above all, guarantees the greatest reward of all: eternal life in Christ. Whoever believes and obeys the Lord will never be disappointed, for God honors those who surrender to Him with all their heart. -Adapted from Lettie B. Cowman. See you tomorrow, if the Lord allows.
Pray with me: Dear God, it is true that everything I can see with the eyes of faith and obedience belongs to me, for You do not set limits for those who trust in You and follow Your ways. I know that Your promises are real and that everything You have prepared for those who serve You is within reach of those who surrender completely to Your will.
My Father, today I ask You to draw me even closer to You, so that Your presence may transform my whole being. I want to open my soul to receive the fullness of Your Spirit and be molded according to Your will. Teach me to live in obedience to Your commandments, for I know that by walking in righteousness, I will experience the fulfillment of Your promises.
Oh, Most Holy God, I worship and praise You because Your promises are firm and true, and no one who trusts in You will be put to shame. Thank You for allowing me to take hold of Your Word and live according to Your principles, knowing that this opens the doors to countless blessings in this life and, above all, to eternal life in Christ. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your mighty Law has a reserved place in my heart. Your commandments are like blooming gardens that perfume and beautify my existence. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
