Overview: God cares deeply about justice and no one, no one can get away with doing wrong. We must pray that God will give us grace to do what is right publicly and in secret because one day He will judge. Let’s purpose to do what is right because, long after we’ve passed on, people’s lives will have be impacted in a positive way. In the meantime, while we’re still here in this world, the devil will try to tempt us with the things that can distract us from living a godly life. Let’s pray and submit ourselves to God and resist the devil.
Be obedient to God’s Word and allow Him to fight our spiritual battles. No matter how weary we become, remember, Jesus is acquainted (all-knowing) with our griefs and sorrows. As kingdom children, we have the privilege to approach God’s throne in faith knowing that He hears and will answer our prayers according to His perfect will. Therefore, we can be confident that no matter the size of our problems, God sees and knows how much we can bear. His intimate and detail care for us is a real truth and He will help us through hard times.
So, despite our past wrong doings, we are now friends of God because Jesus paid the penalty for our sin debt and reconciled us to God. We can now speak to God anytime and He will speak to us.
