TOPIC: Rest In The Lord (TREM Devotional 29 December 2022)
“And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.” Isaiah 32:17 (KJV)
Wisdom For The Day MESSAGE:
Who told you God has to take your permission to do what He wants to do, how He wants to do it, and with who He wants to do it? If His instruction has not changed, stand with what He told you to do yesterday. The fact that the year is fast running to an end is not a reason to go outside the instruction you have received from God. Remember, God is never late, He is always on time. Trust Him.
You see, people get into all types of strife, agitation, anxiety, and stress because they are not trusting Him. The scripture is clear: “…the work of righteousness is peace…”. And the Bible also says in the book of Isaiah 30:15 says “For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.”(KJV)
Whoever believes will not act hastily. Do not try to work it out yourself. Do not try to manipulate God. Trust in Him wholeheartedly. If you believe, then believe that He can do it. Isaac stayed in the land of famine and kept on living, “Then Isaac sowed in that land and received in the same year a hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him” (Genesis 26:12 KJV)
To be blessed means to be empowered to succeed. God blessed him and the effect of the blessing
was that the man became great. When God steps into your case, it will not just explode, it comes with an overflow.
“And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: for he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.” (Genesis 26:13-14 KJV)
Get ready for what is coming to you! What is coming your way cannot be explained. Stop acting hastily. Trust God. Wait on His instructions. Act on His word. Stay in His will. He will never fail you. He will perfect the good work that He has started in your life.

I will dwell in the secret place of the most High; I shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in Him will I trust. Surely He shall deliver me from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover me with his feathers, and under His wings shalt I trust: His truth shall be my shield and buckler.
I shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at my side, and ten thousand at my right hand; but it shall not come nigh me.
Only with my eyes will I behold and see the reward of the wicked. Because I have made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, my habitation; There shall no evil befall me, neither shall any plague come nigh my dwelling. For He shall give His angels charge over me, to keep me in all my ways. (Psalm 91:1-11)
Every day and in every way I am getting better: spiritually, physically, financially, mentally, morally, and in all my endeavours.
I am called for a purpose. I will fulfill this purpose and I will arrive at God’s ordained destiny for my life. Nothing will cut me short. I will make a formidable impact in my world for the Kingdom.
IT IS MY WEEK OF ACCELERATION!
