Topic: God Made You
“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength . . . ” — Isaiah 40:31
It is an exhilarating experience to live the new life, with Christ inside me enabling me to live it. As a man was riding along in his Ford, suddenly something went wrong. He got out and looked at the engine, but he could find nothing wrong. As he stood there, another car came in sight, and he waved it down to ask for help. Out of a brand new Lincoln stepped a tall, friendly man who asked, “Well, what’s the trouble?” “I cannot get this Ford to move,” was the reply. The stranger made a few adjustments under the hood and then said, “Now start the car.” When the motor started, its grateful owner introduced himself and then asked, “What is your name, sir?” “My name,” answered the stranger, “is Henry Ford.”

The one who made the Ford knew how to make it run. God made you and me, and He alone knows how to run your life and mine. We could make a complete wreck of our lives without Christ. When He is at the controls, all goes well. Without Him, we can do nothing.
Prayer for the day: Lord, so often I forget to give You complete control and I fail. Teach me to rely completely on You for my strength and needs.

Topic: From the Inside Out
All glorious is the princess in her chamber, with robes interwoven with gold. —Psalm 45:13
During the Christmas season, department store windows often feature bright, shiny presents with perfectly tied bows. These gifts may look desirable, but if we were to open them, we would find nothing inside. They are empty, just for “show.”
Our lives can be the same way, like beautifully wrapped packages with nothing of value inside. On the outside, our lives may look attractive or even enviable to others, but on the inside, we may be dry and empty. We can look spiritual on the outside but be powerless within if we do not allow the Holy Spirit to make His home in our hearts.
The verse for today emphasizes the importance of the inner life. God puts the Holy Spirit inside us to work on our inner lives—our attitudes, our responses, our motivations, our priorities, and other important things. As we submit to Christ’s Lordship in our innermost beings, we will sense when He is speaking to us, and we will experience His righteousness, peace, and joy rising up from within us to empower us for abundant living (see Romans 14:17).
The Holy Spirit lives inside us to make us more and more like Christ and to fill us with His presence and guidance, so we will have something to share with others, something that comes from deep in the core of our being and is valuable, powerful, and life giving to everyone with whom we interact.

TOPIC: THE POWER OF GOD’S PRESENCE
Scripture: Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob; Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters. Psalms 114:7-8
Thought For The Day: The atmosphere of God’s Presence is the atmosphere of all possibilities.
It has been confirmed that the Presence of God is the greatest asset of a person on earth. The atmosphere of God’s Presence is the atmosphere of all possibilities; anywhere God is present, everything is possible, because with God, all things are possible (Matthew 19:26b). Therefore, it is very vital to look at the Power of God’s Presence.
Now, the question is, how powerful is the Presence of God?
1. The Presence of God creates a way where there is no way
The Presence of God is a Way-Creator. For instance, God’s Presence created a way in the Red Sea (Exodus 14:15-22).
2. The Presence of God uproots obstacles and mountains (Psalm 114:4). Mountains cannot survive the Presence of God; obstacles are destroyed in God’s Presence.
Now, according to Psalm 114:1-8, what are the factors that enhance access to God’s Presence?
1. Separation from the wrong association
Israel came out of Egypt before they could experience God’s mighty Presence (Psalm 114:1). As long as you remain in your ‘Egypt’, you cannot see or experience God’s Presence.
2. The Avoidance of the wrong language (Psalm 114:1)
If your language is not correct, God cannot be present with you.
3. Availability as a vessel to carry His presence (Psalm 114:2). Judah who carried God’s presence was God’s sanctuary; God is willing to manifest himself to available and yielded vessels.
4. The possession of praise
Judah who was His sanctuary means praise. Praise attracts God’s Presence (Psalm 22:3)
Beloved, my counsel is, make God’s Presence a priority in your life; separate yourself from wrong every association, avoid the use of wrong language, be yielded to God and praise Him always.
Remember this: The atmosphere of God’s Presence is the atmosphere of all possibilities
Assignments:
1. Disconnect from every wrong association.
2. Surrender absolutely to God and refuse to stay outside His Will.
3. Live a life of praise and worship.

Prayer: Lord, I surrender completely to Your perfect Will for my life. Let my life be Your dwelling place and cause every mountain in my life to be uprooted, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

Topic: Wisdom’s Source
Read: 1 Kings 3:16–28, Bible in a Year: Jeremiah 34–36; Hebrews 2
Give your servant a discerning heart. 1 Kings 3:9
A man filed a lawsuit against a woman, claiming she had his dog. In court, the woman said her dog couldn’t be his and told the judge where she had purchased it. The real owner’s identity was revealed when the judge released the animal in the courtroom. Tail wagging, it immediately ran to the man!
Solomon, a judge in ancient Israel needed to settle a somewhat similar issue. Two women each claimed to be the mother of the same baby boy. After considering both arguments, he requested a sword to divide the infant in half. The real mother begged Solomon to give the baby to the other woman, choosing to save her son’s life even if she could not have him (1 Kings 3:26). Solomon gave the baby to her.
Wisdom is necessary as we decide what’s fair and moral, right and wrong. If we truly value wisdom, we can ask God for a discerning heart, like Solomon did (v. 9). God may answer our request by helping us balance our needs and desires with the interests of others. He may also help us weigh short-term benefits against long-term (sometimes eternal) gains so we can honor Him in how we live.
Our God is not only a perfectly wise judge, but He is also a personal counselor who is willing to give us godly wisdom in great amounts (James 1:5).
Prayer: I worship You, God, as the true source of wisdom. Please show me how to make choices that bring honor to Your name.
Need wisdom? Seek it from the Source who alone can provide it—God.

Topic: Fight the Right Foe
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh. – 2 Corinthians 10:3
Do you know why so many believers are losing the battles in their lives?
They’re fighting the wrong enemy!
They’ve been deceived into believing that just because a person said or did something to hurt them, that person is the one they need to fight. But they’re wrong.
You see, the Bible says we don’t wrestle with flesh and blood. And since people are definitely flesh and blood, they’re never the source of our problem.
“But, Brother Copeland, you just don’t know what So-and-so did to me!”
It doesn’t matter. If you waste your time fighting So-and-so, your real enemy will get away scot-free.
Who is that real enemy? Look at Ephesians 6:12, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
Satan and his demons. They are your lifelong enemies! They are behind every personal affront you encounter.
The people who hurt you and persecute you are only Satan’s tools. When he wants to strike out at you, he uses them to get the job done.
Remember this: Persecution is not the manifestation of another person’s hate for you. It’s a manifestation of Satan’s fear of you. When you get into the Word and start swinging it around—using it like the sword of the Spirit it is—he gets scared. So he looks for some person he can send in there to stop you.
Next time someone hurts you, don’t let yourself get sidetracked into fighting them. Bind the spirit behind them. Put flesh-and-blood battles behind and war with the weapons of the Spirit. Zero in on Satan with authority and the Word of God and bring your real enemy down!
Scripture Reading: Ephesians 6:10-18
