People who rest in God’s love live differently than people who do not!

The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should hope and wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord. Lamentations 3:25-26 NKJV

God created the first man and woman to live in a special relationship with Him.

The Lord wanted Adam and Eve to walk with Him in the cool of the day. He wanted them to look to Him to meet their needs. God did not create Adam and Eve to live independently from Him. God wanted them to trust Him. He wanted them to rest in His love.

God placed Adam in the Garden to tend and keep it. God blessed Adam and Eve. He told them to be fruitful and multiply.

God has the same desires for us today.

Jesus wants us to live in a special relationship with Him. Jesus wants us to spend time with Him. Jesus wants us to look to Him to meet our needs. He does not want us to live independently from Him. Jesus wants us to rest in His love today.

God wants us to work with Him and for Him. He wants us to spread the Gospel of Jesus to every corner of the earth. Jesus wants His people to be fruitful and multiply today.

God allows us to receive or reject His love. He gives us the freedom to choose wisely or foolishly. People who wait on the Lord live a life of joy, peace and contentment the spiritually lost cannot comprehend!

If you do not have a relationship with Jesus Christ turn to Him today. Jesus wants you to call out to Him out of a sincere desire to know Him. God wants you to experience the joy peace and contentment that comes from living by faith in Jesus!

If you know Jesus still your heart before Him today. God is sitting on the throne of creation today. The Lord of creation wants to sit on the throne of your heart today!

Jesus wants you to wait for Him to deliver you through times of trial and hardship. He wants you to wait for Him to guide you in the way you should go today. Jesus wants you to cease striving in your own efforts and trust Him with your life today!

God wants us to pray and wait for Him to bring our lost family members, friends and loved ones to faith in Jesus Christ!

Wait upon the Lord today. Trust Jesus all the time with everything every day!

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!

People who rest in God’s love live differently than people who do not!
