DAILY SHOWER July 4, 2022 Devotion and Declarations
Prayer before the Word:
_ O God, I have come before You this day. Open my eyes to see new things in Your word. Help me to implement them accordingly in Jesus name, Amen_
TODAY’S TOPIC: Be not afraid
Text: Joel 2:18-27 (NIV):
"2:18. Then the LORD will be jealous for his land and take pity on his people.
2:19. The LORD will reply to them: 'I am sending you grain, new wine and oil, enough to satisfy you fully; never again will I make you an object of scorn to the nations.
2:20. 'I will drive the northern army far from you, pushing it into a parched and barren land, with its front columns going into the eastern sea and those in the rear into the western sea. And its stench will go up; its smell will rise.' Surely he has done great things.
2:21. Be not afraid, O land; be glad and rejoice. Surely the LORD has done great things.
2:22. Be not afraid, O wild animals, for the open pastures are becoming green. The trees are bearing their fruit; the fig tree and the vine yield their riches.
2:23. Be glad, O people of Zion, rejoice in the LORD your God, for he has given you the autumn rains in righteousness. He sends you abundant showers, both autumn and spring rains, as before.
2:24. The threshing floors will be filled with grain; the vats will overflow with new wine and oil.
2:25. 'I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten--the great locust and the young locust, the other locusts and the locust swarm--my great army that I sent among you.
2:26. You will have plenty to eat, until you are full, and you will praise the name of the LORD your God, who has worked wonders for you; never again will my people be shamed.
2:27. Then you will know that I am in Israel, that I am the LORD your God, and that there is no other; never again will my people be shamed."
SHOWER (Reflection):
God is telling us today not to be afraid or worried about anything because God has heard our prayers. He assured us new life, restoration of all we lost in the past, upliftment and greatness. He said he will drive out our enemies, and replenish us. All you need therefore is to be focused, contented and consistent. God is doing a new thing for us this week in Jesus name, Amen.
