So I will sing praise to Your name forever, that I may daily perform my vows. Psalm 61:8 NKJV

David declared he would sing praise to God forever!

I will sing praise to God forever.

How can I be sure I will sing praise to God forever? I will sing praise to God forever because it is the reason The Lord created me.

Today is one of those days when I wonder why I write a daily devotional. How did I ever get in so far over my head? Why would I put myself in a position to make a fool of myself?

I am a fool for Christ! I am foolish enough to believe Jesus can and will use me!

God can use anyone anyway He chooses. God created us with natural gifts and talents. He created us to accomplish good works through faith in Jesus Christ.

We know the love of God because Jesus revealed Himself to us. We love Him because He gave us the faith to love Him. What the world calls foolishness God calls faith!

God’s love for you is real and unconditional. He is pleased when you step out in faith because you love Jesus.

You do not need to make or keep vows to earn God’s love and favor. Nothing will ever stop Jesus from looking upon you with favor. Nothing you can do will ever stop Jesus from loving you!

I send out this devotional despite my feelings of inadequacy and insecurity. My faith is not in what I can do. My faith is in what Jesus has already done. My faith is in what God is doing. My faith is in what God will do in the future!

Jesus wants you to step out in faith even if you get in over your head. Jesus wants you to trust Him enough to step out in faith even if you feel foolish doing it. Jesus wants you to be foolish enough to believe He can use you anyway He chooses to use you!

God will never be disappointed by anything you do through faith in Jesus!

Step out in faith. Serve Jesus the way He is calling you to serve Him. Don’t do it out of guilt or condemnation. Don’t do it because you have made a vow when you desperately needed help. Serve Jesus because you love Him!

Sing praises to the name of Jesus. It is the reason The Lord created you. Your Heavenly Father will be pleased if you step out in faith to serve Jesus because you love Him!

Joyfor2day daily devotional goes out over the internet to thousands of people all over the world five days a week

Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!

Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune telling. This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out that very hour. Acts 16:16-18 NKJV

The slave girl was speaking the truth. She was possessed by an evil spirit. The evil spirit was drawing people away from Christ!

This attack came as God’s servants went to prayer. The enemy of our souls attacks when we step out in faith. Satan seeks to distract us. He wants us to focus our attention on things other than Jesus.

The devil perverts the truth. He uses it against us. No one can serve two masters. This girl was speaking the truth about Paul and his companions while practicing witchcraft. When people claim to speak for God we must consider how they live.

The girl followed the disciples for several days before they cast the demon out of her. It is important for us to wait on the Lord before stepping out in faith. The bible tells us Paul was greatly annoyed by this girl. Paul was not fearful. The Lord was with Him!

Paul and Silas were put in jail. The owners of the slave girl were angry at the loss of income when the demon was cast out of her. While Paul and Silas were in jail they shared the gospel with the jailer. His entire household was saved.

God uses Satan’s attacks for His glory and our salvation!

Satan is a real being. He takes people captive to do his will. There really are demons who seek to destroy God’s people and bring destruction to our world.

We have nothing to fear from the devil or his demons when we live according to God’s will. We have nothing to fear from anyone or anything when we step out in faith to serve Jesus!

Jesus wants us to fear Him and Him alone. He wants us to know His power and authority are unequaled in all of creation.

God wants you share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the people in your life. Jesus wants you to walk in great boldness because He is with you everywhere you go!

Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!

Jesus will never be disappointed by anything you do in faith!
