Our Wealth Comes…
Listen
Good morning!
A day to receive favour from the Lord and to depend upon the Lord and receive everything we need to sustain. In this season, let us understand that God is our primary source of providence.
In the Bible, serious trouble developed in Ephesus concerning The Way – Christian Religion. It began with a silversmith who had a large business and employed various craftsmen. He brings all of them together and addresses how their wealth is from their business. And he was concerned about how Paul was bringing in ‘The Way’ by which people had stopped buying handmade Gods. They made a livelihood of selling idols. After Paul preaches about the Gospel, it brings about panic among the craftsmen. They are trying to raise a riot against it.
Often, we will be presented with an opportunity to trust God for our provision or to trust our own abilities, creativity, talents and qualifications. We can be talented, creative but it can never be our idol.
When we give the work of our hands, excessive attention it becomes the idol we trust in. Share on XOur business, career can be our idols. We need to realise that our primary source is not our abilities but God.
The craftsmen became violent because they thought they had nothing to do. When we trust our own work and it doesn’t work, we begin to be violent and blaming.
Let us trust God as if we please Him it will be a blessing!
You will not lack any good thing as you are a child of God!

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.
