Godly Reactions and Godly Responses

Greetings in Jesus precious name!
Let us be thankful this morning as we wake up to see this new day, as we encounter Him in a fresh new light let us acknowledge His love, mercy and grace toward us.
In Numbers 11:29, we see Moses expressing how much he wishes that everyone who belonged to the Lord would be like prophets and each of them would have the Lord’s Spirit.
The context behind his response was at a time when a few people went out from the camp into the wilderness prophesying and Joshua came to Moses questioning their actions, motives and Moses’ position in the matter. Moses could have easily stopped them or denied their doings but the reason why Moses says “don’t be jealous for my sake” followed by His desire to have all people filled by the Lord’s Spirit is because He took time to go into the heart of God and what would God desire for Him to do and chose not to act on His flesh or quench their Spirit. Moses lived under the dispensation of the Law, and under the law, one cannot just merely become a prophet and one cannot just be filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesy but yet Moses searched the heart of God and had a desire that all people that belonged to the Lord ought to have the Holy Spirit. We see it written similarly in the book of Joel, that the Lord will pour out His Spirit to all flesh not merely one or two but to all!
It is necessary for us to respond with our heart, mind and desires of God and not by the flesh. Share on XIt is in the heart of God that all His people receive the Holy Spirit, dreams, visions and revelations from Heaven. Can we go to that place where we can grow and respond in the same way? As we go through different opportunities or circumstances can we choose to search the heart, mind, ways and desires of God and not react and respond in the flesh? Today onward can we be mindful to account for every word, every statement that comes out of our mouths and make it heavy with the presence of God; with the breath of God. May you be encouraged this morning to be able to seek the Lord in all these things, to seek His guidance with regards to every word, thought or deed. Let us choose not to respond conforming to culture or system or the practices or even traditions of man. Let us be mindful to withdraw our responses based on these intentionally.
May you be encouraged to respond through the mind of God. To make this happen we need to pursue the mind of God, to make time, spend time and pray like never before with worship. We can be transformed only when we are in His presence; intentionally pursuing His presence.
Choose today to go after the heart of God! May you be known to be those who pursue the heart and mind of God just as David and Samuel did. In everything consult the Lord your God. The Lord delighted in Moses because He was humble and emulated His humility. Can that become our testimony where our character and life represents the heart of God? May you be encouraged to have Godly responses. May we choose to speak life just as Jesus did!

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.
