Rescued or Trapped?

Transcript:
Welcome to another day with Jesus.
This day and this week, God has been doing wonderful things in our lives.
When God gives us a word, it is important to believe that the Word is changing us and our destiny and when we continue to believe that, God is able to do more than we could ask for or imagine.
In Proverbs 11:6, there are two categories of people here, the good people and the treacherous people.
What qualifies us to be good people? Is it our actions, our good deeds? Sometimes, the most gracious and kind people can be characterized as different by Heaven.
God calls us “good” only when He sees “Jesus and the image of Christ in us.” In order for Christ to be formed in us, we don’t have to strive harder in our strength but simply yield to the Holy Spirit.
Goodness is a fruit of the Holy Spirit not a fruit of our hard work and commitment, prayer or even Bible reading.
The more we soak in the presence of God and yield to the Holy Spirit, the more goodness will come out of us.
We are ‘good’ when we represent Christ which is to yield with the Holy Spirit. Share on XAre there areas in your life where you feel challenged? Just focus on the goodness and godliness that come out of those areas and that very same goodness will come to rescue you. You don’t run outside for help but that godliness itself will come to help you.
But if we refuse the work of transformation by the Holy Spirit in our lives, we will build our own ambitions, lifestyle, attitudes than is different from God’s over our lives.
Your self ambition can be a trap for you.
Today, allow the Holy Spirit to mould you so you won’t have to be trapped but to be rescued. May this revelation grow in you.
Have a good ahead day.

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.
