DEVOTION: We have heard with our ears, O God; our fathers have told us what you did in their days, in days long ago. With your hand you drove out the nations and planted our fathers; you crushed the peoples and made our fathers flourish. It was not by their sword that they won the land, nor did their arm bring them victory; it was your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, for you loved them. Psalm 44:1-4
Have you experienced success lately? If you have, how much of it was your hard work and how much of it was because God blessed you with the right circumstances and abilities at jus
the right time?
I like to watch a lot of sports, and lately I have noticed more and more, especially as I watch pro football's replacement refs, how much of the success of a team depends simply on the things that just seem to happen at just the right time in just the right way.
It is that way with so much of our lives. Our success, as much as we work hard and do the right things, depends on how much God blesses us. And often, at times, in order that we might realize His help and His blessing, he allows us ot fail despite our best efforts.
The Israelites only succeeded because God gave them their success. He led them, and it was by His hand and His mighty arm that He gave them their land and their blessings. After a while they forgot all about Him and what he had done, not only that bu tthey started to worship and serve other gods because they thought that those gods were the ones that had blessed them. So God allowed them to fall into captivity, to suffer defeat at the hand of their enemies and to just go through times of pain and suffering.
What part of life are you going through right now? If you are going through success, THANK GOD! He is the one that has blessed you with it. If you are going through times of trial and suffering think about what God wants youto learn and how He wants you to grow through it. And THANK GOD that he hasn't completely left you or forsaken you, but that he continues to love you in spite of your forgetfulness.
Prayer: Lord God, help me to bless you both in times of trial and success so that I continue to remember that from You all blessings flow. Amen
