TODAY’S DAILY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE
God Is Faithful
…even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God. Psalm 90:2
God remains ever faithful. God’s unwavering fidelity cannot be shaken. The One Who moved in previous generations continues to move today while reigning from His throne.
Both Elijah and Elisha, who were prophets sent by God, served side by side in the midst of a generation that was morally degenerate. The actions of King Ahab of Israel provoked God’s wrath more than those of any other Israelite monarch before him (1 Kings 16:33). Queen Jezebel was an ardent devotee of Baal, and she ruled over the pagan worship that took place in the kingdom. This included the sacrifice of children, ritual prostitution, and the worship of false gods. She made a practise of murdering priests and prophets who served the one true God.
Ahab and Jezebel were confronted with Elijah and Elisha’s bold proclamation of the word of the Lord, in which they condemned the worship of Baal. As retribution for the wrongdoing they committed in Israel, God decided to wipe out their family line completely.
In addition, we are a part of a generation that has turned its back on God in favour of worshipping lesser gods. We are called to be guiding lights of truth in a world that has misplaced its bearings rather than allowing ourselves to be overcome by hopelessness and fear as events unfold.
We are based on something that is impregnable as a base of operations. There will come a time when heaven and earth will no longer exist, but the Word of God will be perfect in every way; every promise will be kept. Not a single dot or cross will be left unfilled. If we are obedient and do what God asks of us, then He will make our efforts count for the advancement of His kingdom. He always keeps his word.
