Wisdom to Decide
Listen
Transcript:
Can we start this day by asking God to give us wisdom, the spirit of discernment, an understanding of the choices that we have to make?
Sometimes, the choices we make can lead us outside the protection of God and we wonder why did God allow this to happen?
One such example in the Bible is the story of Ahaziah, who was the King of Judah, a grandson of Jehoshaspat. Ahaziah had the grace and protection over his life but however at that point of time he was found hanging out in Israel outside a territory that God had given him and when God executed judgement over the Israelites, Ahaziah and his family became a casualty and hence lost their lives!
How often do we find ourselves in situations like this. Doing things and making choices outside the will of God? This was not meant for Ahaziah but yet he put himself in this!
This morning, can we ask God to help us discern the areas where we are stepping out of our spiritual boundary? Can we ask God for wisdom to do what God wants us to do and not to do?
It is very necessary to ask God for His guidance and His involvement in our lives. The more we want to do things our way, the more risk we are putting ourselves in!
I pray and believe that you would start this day by seeking God and His will in all the areas of your life!

Feel For Him
Acts 17:27 (GNT)
He did this so that they would look for him, and perhaps find him as they felt around for him. Yet God is actually not far from any one of us.
Lock the Door
Matthew 23:13 (GNT)
““How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You lock the door to the Kingdom of heaven in people’s faces, but you yourselves don’t go in, nor do you allow in those who are trying to enter!”
Psalm 147:2–3 reveals God's heart as a Restorer rather than a Punisher. Although Israel went into exile because of its own rebellion, God did not abandon His people. Instead, He promised to restore Jerusalem, bring the exiles home, heal the brokenhearted, and bind up their wounds.
The message reminds us that while God may use friends, pastors, counselors, or loved ones to help us, true healing and restoration ultimately come from the Lord. His restoration reaches every part of our lives—our hearts, relationships, health, finances, emotions, and spiritual walk.
God knows every wound, including those hidden from others. Unlike people, who can only comfort from the outside, He sees the deepest parts of our hearts and heals completely. His healing is so complete that even the scars of past pain lose their power to define us.
The devotion encourages believers to fix their eyes on God instead of relying solely on human help. No matter how far someone has drifted, how many mistakes they have made, or how broken they feel, God is still calling them back. His desire is to restore, heal, and make all things beautiful in His perfect timing.
