Zabbu̱li̱ 123:1

Do you live with regret from hasty decisions or impulsive choices? Have you ever reacted to a situation because of the pressure you felt to act? To avoid a life of destructive reaction, we must learn to watch and wait for the Lord. This divine watching and waiting is a lethal combination to defeat compulsive and impetuous decision-making. Watching for God places us in His presence, where we will be strengthened and empowered for life.

This devotional includes prayers inspired by the book of Psalms. Each day contains an excerpt from the Psalms and a prayer from the heart, providing an expression of faith and worship for sincere worshipers. Open your heart as you read each day and find God as your shelter of strength.

Life is filled with unexpected journeys, both good and bad. While it’s often easy to see God in the good times, it can be challenging to hold onto hope in the midst of tragedy and impossibilities. Be empowered to believe in the One who does the impossible. When you expect a God encounter in your darkest hour, He will redeem what seems hopeless with supernatural answers!

The book of James provides practical wisdom for living God’s way in God’s world. Over the next 14-days, we will examine James’ exhortation for us to look like true believers. There are real rewards in giving this book attention and seeking to apply it to our lives. It has application as to how we might relate to materialism, consumerism and individualism – which make it incredibly relevant to our culture.
