Checking into Gods Presence...
Even at this point, we must realise we are living on the fringes of borrowed time. This is because not everyone could sail through the dangers of the night. And that can mean no one except God knows when his or her time is up.
Now that you have the grace to be alive, do you see yourself strengthened enough to seek the Lord this morning and irrespective of what position you may find yourself? Perhaps this article culled from "If not for God" can help to lead us to where we are suppose to be when our thoughts are broken, either through our conducts by way of sins or through what we may/thought we have lost because of the intervention of the enemies.
“In 1 Samuel 30...David and his men returned from a three-day march and found their city burned and their families gone. Amalekite raiders did to David’s city what David and his men had done to many of the surrounding villages. It was a catastrophe. David didn’t wait for someone else to strengthen him. He didn’t say, “Well Lord, if You want to strengthen me, that’s fine. I’ll just wait here until You do it.”
David knew that the Lord’s strength was there for those who wait upon Him, so he strengthened himself in the Lord his God. Notice (1 Samuel 30:6) that it was “David” who strengthened himself in the Lord his God. David was backslidden and wayward; but he was also now completely broken, ready to be filled.
This was strength for recognition, strength to repair his brokenness, strength for repentance, strength and determination to win back what the enemy has stolen. This is the same strength that raised Jesus from the dead! You must see yourself as a Champion first before you can notice what you have lost/missing.
If this self drive is lacking, there will be no desire and the tendencies would be inbuilt for the person to continue to live abjectly in a deprived situation.
We beseech You Father to repair the broken structures in us, rebuild our strength to work with You and keep Your Commandments. Let Your Love in us is strengthened so we will also see the need to love our fellow men in Jesus Mighty name. Amen
