SOLD ROCK DEVOTIONAL - 2ND JANUARY, 2018

Solid Rock Devotional
2nd January, 2018

Dear Family,

Another New Year is upon us and it gives us an opportunity to reflect on our journey with Christ. We encourage you to use the New Year as another opportunity to refresh your relationship with Jesus and to submit your life to Him, and experience the inner transformation of His presence. Thank you.

Today's Devotional

COMPELLED BY THE SPIRIT

“And  now,  compelled  by  the  Spirit,  I  am  going   to  jerusalem,  not  knowing  what  will  happen  to   me there.” Acts 20:22

If  people  subjected  everything  to their  own  understanding,  the  Bible would  lose  some  of  its  key  stories. Noah  would  never  have  built  the  ark. Abraham  would  never  have  left  Ur  of the  Chaldees.  Moses  would  never  have led  Israel  out  of  Egypt.  David  would never  have  gone  to  fight  Goliath.  Jonah certainly  would  have  stayed  at  home  and  not  gone  to  Nineveh. Paul  too,  might  have  stayed  in  Antioch,  and  not  gone  on  his missionary  journeys.

The  compelling  of  the  Spirit  often  counters  our  sense  of  reason. It’s  wise  not  to  just  act  on  impulse.  Scripture  speaks  of  the wisdom  of  ‘two  or  three  witnesses’  (Matthew  18:16),  but  often and  in  different  ways,  God  may  reiterate  His  mind  to  us.

Even though His direction  may not seem logical, we are wise to take it seriously and respond in obedience. Often it is only as we step out in  faith  that the confirmation comes that this is His will, and that it  is  for  a  good purpose.

As we begin 2018, we want you to have in mind that our circumstances often become the test of our trust in God.

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, Please help me to be sensitive to your Spirit in Jesus name....Amen.
