Tues.’s Devo - The Turn Around

Read: Isaiah 45:11-48:11; Ephesians 4:1-16; Psalm 68:19-35; Proverbs 24:3-4
God asks a very great question which has to do with the day we are living in. He asks us why we question him about the future and who he chooses to use. He told them that he was going to raise up a man named Cyrus and make his ways straight (meaning that his ways were crooked before). He would use this man to rebuild his city and set the exiles free. He will not do this for his own personal gain. Many of today’s prophets have likened President Trump to Cyrus.
He goes on to say that the wealth of enemy nations would come to them because they see that God is with them. Many nations who trusted in idols will come to the truth and turn to God and be saved. Every knew will bow and every tongue will witness that in the Lord alone is righteousness and strength.
God has written the end from the beginning of time and it is all hidden in the Bible.
To the heathen who refuse to bow, they will be the ones in captivity and chains. They will no longer be the leaders and the ones people idolize. In all their witchcraft and powers, they will be powerless before the Lord.
To his people, God says that he will tell us of the new and hidden things that we have not seen before. We will understand things we did not understand before.
We are living in that day!
In Ephesians, we see God’s ultimate desire is that we come together as one unit, honoring the gifts and offices each one has.
No one is more important than the other, we are all servants to one another, here to help each other come to maturity. Love is our motivation and Jesus is our head. When we have this right, the body will function as a healthy body.
Lord, help us to walk in love as servants to one another. Thank you for this new era we are living in where we bring your kingdom down to earth.
