DEVOTIONAL VIDEO – “God {Our Father} Comes and Helps Us When We Are Hurt and Fighting to Finish”

LONGER DEVOTIONAL VIDEO TODAY (4 minutes)

MESSAGE SUMMARY:

The Holy Spirit has compelled me to significantly change The Word From The Lord’s Daily Devotional and Podcasts, for today, that I prepared last week for broadcast today.

I was developing the Daily Devotionals, Radio Broadcasts, and Podcasts for next week when I found this video from the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games. This video struck me to the core and reinforced my faith as I listened to the expressions, over the various media channels, of anxiety and fear that were and are being espoused in the context of the Corona Virus but NOT in the context of following Jesus and our faith in His Gospel.

The thesis of this video is “God {our Father} is like that when we are hurt, and fighting to finish, he comes and helps us.”. The video and accompanying music provide an audio and visual perspective of a great Olympic runner who severely injures himself but finishes the race, in great pain, when his father leaves the stands and joins him on the track to walk together.

In Mathew 11:28-30, Jesus makes it clear that He wants to walk with us in our times of trouble and fear so that we can offload to Him, the Creator of the Universe, issues that are creating fear and anxiety and might appear to give cause for us to lose faith in completing our life-race: “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.".

Also, in Philippians 4:6-7, we are reminded: “do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.".

If you practice the presence of God, it will not matter what this world or the enemy throws your way.

In the love and service of Jesus, the Christ,

Bill+

A Word From The Lord

 

TODAY’S AFFIRMATION: Today, Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Inadequacy. Rather, I will abide in the Lord’s Abundance. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5).
