Devotional Reflection

HopeFear

People want to incorporate elements from various mystical religions into their own "Christian" faith. Most people don't realize that the main message of the Bible is simple and easy to understand. God is only truly God if He is the Almighty Yahweh. Worship should be given solely to the one true and living God. You can only trust this Abba Father. There are other spiritual powers, but they lead to death, destruction, and hopelessness. Jesus triumphed over them for us when He died on the cross (Colossians 2:13-15). Seek God, YAHWEH, the great "I AM" of Israel, the All-Powerful, the righteous Father of Jesus and all who follow Him. Look for God and live.

Prayer

Almighty Father and Holy Majesty on High, rekindle in our lands a desire to seek You in truth so that the world will know Your grace, the people will honor Your character, and the nations will know Your peace. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
