Daily Devotional

The fact that the Church continues to exist despite its long history of internal and external attacks is nothing short of a living miracle. It testifies that humans are not in charge, and God governs the Church. Over the years, many have sought to destroy the church, and many continue launching spurious attacks with hearts filled with hatred. In the end, just as Jesus said: “The powers of death can never prevail against the church.”

We may lie to the world about who we are, but we can never lie to God. The worst kind of life (and the most miserable too) is living in pretence; projecting a false image of yourself like an actor on stage. Funny enough, the movie comes to an end too quickly, and the audience gets to know the true identity of the characters. As Jesus said: “Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.” (Luke 12:2)

Ezekiel’s prophecy of the dry bones shows us that it is not possible for there can be dead cases as far as our lives are concerned. We can always change; there is always room for repentance. We can never be too old to start learning again. Why is it that it can never be too late for God? His steadfast love never ceases; His mercies endure forever. God’s mercies are new every morning. As we often sing: “Great is thy faithfulness, O Lord. Great is thy faithfulness.”
