Tues.’s Devo - We Need Discernment

Read: Is. 3:1-5:30; 2 Co. 11:1-15; Ps. 53:1-6; Pr. 22:28 God can reduce a rich nation to poverty whenever He wishes and vice versa. When God judges a nation He robs them economically and reduces their armed forces. He takes away the prophets, the judges and the old wise people and replaces them with immature leaders. Oppression and rebellion spring up just like what happened when Hitler came to power. Judgement brings to light the ones that truly are His. Though they are in captivity for a while, God will bring them out. For the remnant, God will be a place of refuge. In Corinthians, Paul warns us of forgetting the simplicity of the cross and being deceived by false prophets. Satan is an angel of light even though he is really darkness. We need to have the gift of discernment so that we will know the difference of the true and the false. Lord, we pray for our nation for it to repent of turning from You and Your ways. We pray for revival in our land that would shine the light on truth and bring salvation and righteousness.
