Previous Daily Devotional About the cry of the
multitudes for hope… Matthew 19:26 Jesus looked
at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are
possible." (NIV) Matthew 9:36 When he saw
the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless,
like sheep without a shepherd. (NIV) We
are the multitudes. Please hear our cry. "We
live in a kind of deadness. We are black, white, red, yellow, and brown. We are
old. We are young. We are sick. We are healthy. Many people know us but no one
knows anything about us. Life passes us by as we watch to see the passing parade
only as spectators. Because of our deadness, when we have to interact with life,
the strain upon us is such that we can't get excited about anything. We do not live
in a hopeless world. However, our personal world, the world inside of our skin,
is devoid of hope." Of all the
stars shining at night, you have a personal star made by God just for you. Even
when the clouds come, the star still shines. Even when you go indoors at night,
the star keeps winking and blinking. Of course, the idea of a personal star is
just an idea. However, the idea could be real. Here is the point…we can all
hold ideas in our mind. We all hold thoughts in our head. Here is a second idea
you can hold in your mind. Within you there is a kingdom like a virtual kingdom
in a novel or movie. However, the kingdom within you is real. You posses within
you a supernatural kingdom full of unlimited possibilities and unlimited
potentials. In your unlimited kingdom, you are totally known by God. In your
unlimited kingdom you are totally loved regardless of who you are or what you
have done. In the unlimited kingdom within you, you are not just watching life's
passing parade. Instead of being a spectator on the sidelines, you are a
participant. In the unlimited kingdom within you, you possess unlimited energy
with glad hands always reaching out to greet you. In your unlimited kingdom
within you, you have infinite love if you will turn away and turn toward Christ
your savior. |
