Thurs.’s Devo - The New Creation

Read: Isaiah 33:13-36:22; Galatians 5:13-26; Psalm 64:1-10; Proverbs 23:23
In the midst of judgment the sinners are afraid but the righteous are bold as lions. Their lack of fear will surprise the hypocrites who claimed to be godly but will fall in the time of trials. God will always take care of his children in war and famine. The righteous will see the Lord in his glory and see the promise even before it manifests. Instead of seeing the enemy and being afraid, they shall live in the rest of the Lord and they will inhabit the tabernacle of the Holy Spirit. They will realize that God is their judge, their lawgiver and their king and he will save them. The lame will take the prey which means that in our weakness, God is very strong in us and through God we will defeat the enemy.
In Chapter 34, God judges the nations that opposed the Lord. All the kingdoms of the antichrist will be judged at the end of time just like these were then. It is all written in God’s book. At that time the glory of the Lord will fill the earth like at the time of the Garden of Eden. Creation will be restored along with mankind and the redeemed of the Lord will come to Zion with praise and joy. All sorrow and sadness will flee. This is the day we are living for.
In Galatians we learn that if we walk in the spirit we will operate in love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance and the works of the flesh will not be manifest in us. Without trying, we will be fulfilling the law just as Jesus did.
