Rich in Faith
Listen to me, dear brothers and sisters. Hasn’t God chosen the poor in this world to be rich in faith? Aren’t they the ones who will inherit the Kingdom he promised to those who love him? – James 2:5 NLT

Welcome to this brand new day that the Lord has given us! Even as we continue our journey of faith, can we ask God to fill us with a fresh word and a fresh understanding of His Heart for us today?
Did you know, the more we resist God’s working in our lives, the more we will miss out on His blessings in our lives! The more we think we can do it on own, the more we will miss out the unique things God wants to do in our lives?
We may be at lack in certain areas of our lives in terms of our finances, health or relationships.
It doesn’t matter how much lack you have but even in your lack learn to depend on God in those areas.
James says that God has chosen those who are poor in the world, those who struggle in certain areas of their lives to be rich in faith.
Your poverty in the world is what God uses to make you rich in faith. When you are poor in some areas of your life it automatically drives you to lean on and depend on God in those areas.
If it is health, we depend on God for healing. If it is finances, we ask God to take care of our needs.
Use those areas of poverty to become rich in faith! In spite of your need, the Lord will cause you to become rich in faith in the very same places where you feel incomplete or not enough. That is the blessing you and me enjoy.
Greater the lack, more the dependency on God. The more dependency on God, the more stronger will be your faith.
As the rich faith comes, so will the promises.
We usually think, the proof of our faith is our physical wealth. That is not true. When heaven’s riches is unleashed on your life, there is no limit nor boundary to it.
Will you trust God to do that for you? Will you trust God to fashion you in a lifestyle of rich faith?

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.
