God can see through every person in this life. Nobody can hide who they really are in His awesome sight. We might be able to fool people at church, friends, family, and coworkers that we are Christians, but God knows if you are really for Him or against Him. The way you live your daily life will determine if God is at the head or something or someone else. As for me, God has seen my heart and how I live each day to serve Him. It is so good to praise the Lord through music, prayer, and in speaking with people. I will declare what He has spoken through me to as many people as He asks. This is not a burden but a life filled will joy. The wicked may live their lives pleasing in their own eyes, but in the end comes utter destruction come death. They will be judged according to their works and be found guilty. David wrote, “I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works. I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High. When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence. For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.” (Psalm 9:1-4) Does this make you want to get right with God?
God is the Father of every person who puts their trust in Him. He loves them so much as to help them through this tumultuous life. He ministers to us through the Holy Spirit and we know His will for our lives the more we pray, read the Bible, and serve Him. As for the wicked, God allows them to do what they want with their free agency. If they want to go down the broad path to destruction, this is the God-given choice. We cannot force their hands to give up their addictions, willful sins, and false beliefs. They must make a choice to do this on their own and follow Jesus. Judgment awaits us all, although it will be very severe and heartbreaking for every evildoer. David wrote, “thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever. O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them. But the Lord shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment. And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.” (Psalm 9:5-8) Are you ready to go before Jesus in judgment, if you were to die today? If not, get right with Him today. Amen.
Let us pray:
Oh lord, I know that judgment may appear to be far off into the future, but in reality, it is at the doors. You will be my judge the moment I take my last breath and I go before Your throne. It is my prayer that You will keep me spotless in Your sight until Your coming or my last breath. Whatever happens first, help me stay vigilant in the faith and not go down any roads that lead to destruction. I know that many people have started off as Christians and then ended up on dark paths that lead to destruction. They had salvation at their fingertips but then lost it in the end. What is sad is that many of them were to doing good in the faith until false witnesses came along their path and snatched them away. These false witnesses may think they are doing Your will, but their false beliefs and the people they have led into their cult will be upon their heads. I rebuke these individuals who have a form of godliness but inside they walk upon the blood You shed for us. If people could just be led by the Holy Spirit they would not only live for You but also be teaching what is true in this darkened world. Lord, help me to be a light to these lost souls and to lead as many people into Your fold as I can. I love You, Jesus. I trust in You. Amen.
Amen! This devotional is true. I must confess that I’m not born again or anywhere near it and not on fire or anywhere near it but this message is true.
