Bible Devotional
I, even I, am Yahweh; and
besides me there is no savior. (Isaiah 43:11)
I, even I, am he who blots
out your transgressions for my own sake; and I will not remember your sins. (Isaiah 43:25)
I, even I, am he who
comforts you: who are you, that you are afraid of man who shall die, and of the
son of man who shall be made as grass; (Isaiah 51:12)
There may be people who excel in various spheres of life, but their power, influence and scope of authority is limited and they will not be able to help us at all times.
Some of us may adore them for their prowess, which whether they may acknowledge or not, is God given.
It’s
interesting how God lays emphasis on his sovereignty in the 3 verses that we read above. As Savior,
redeemer and comforter, he stands unequaled. Firstly, he declares that there
is no Savior besides himself. Secondly, he proclaims his plans to blot out the
sins of his people for his own sake and promises to remember them (sins) no
more. Thirdly, he announces himself as the one who comforts his people and
protects them from their enemies.
Let's meditate
on the goodness of God Almighty this day. He loves, he cares, he protects.
Glory be to his holy name.
Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. (1 Timothy 1:17)

Realities of life series- Dr. Johnson Cherian
10 years back, when I had to endure a severe trial in my life, I questioned or perhaps satan made me question my faith in Jesus Christ. That was because I prayed and prayed but saw no deliverance. Evil people were troubling me no end and we as a family were in distress. For a while, I prayed and worshipped mechanically, going through the motions day in and day out.
John the Baptist, the one who initially proclaimed to all that Jesus was the lamb of God who took away the sins of the world later had doubts regarding Jesus being the Savior because he had been put in prison by King Herod and Jesus was doing nothing about it.
Perhaps you are going through something similar...nothing seems to be working.....many doubts have crept in to your mind regarding your Christian faith....satan is having a gala time pestering you with troubling thoughts.......but consider this....
The fact that you are still holding on to your faith in Jesus Christ, despite the struggles, failures and disappointments in your life points to your genuine love for your Savior and your hope and belief in eternal life in heaven at the end of your life or when the Lord returns.
The Apostle Paul writes,
Who/What shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
(Romans 8:35,38,39)
Hang in there brother/sister.....Things will work out.... because He lives....Yes Jesus lives and all authority in heaven and on earth is with him.
10 years back, after a season of passing through the bad trial, one fine day, the Lord wrought deliverance for me and my family.
You then dear Christian....stay true to him till deliverance comes.
