OUR DAILY MANNA DAILY DEVOTIONAL DECEMBER 3, 2021 (GOD OF A SECOND CHANCE)
TOPIC: GOD OF A SECOND CHANCE
BASIC SCRIPTURE: 1 KINGS 17: 1-9
MESSAGE
Our God is a God of boundless opportunities. He is a God of abundance. People say over and over that, “opportunities lost can never be regained… but when you understand how loving and abundant our God is, you will never be dejected at past lost opportunities.
This is because the God you serve is THE GOD OF A SECOND CHANCE! He will love you and never give up on you! No matter how 2021 has been, consider with me what Alexander Graham Bell said many years ago:
“When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us” Yes! With God, a closed door is only a new entry into something greater! EVERY EXIT IS AN ENTRY WITH YOUR GOD!
From today’s Word, there was famine all over the land of Israel and people were dying. But God had provided for His prophet. He told him, “Go to the brook of Zarephath; I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.” After some days, the brook dried up.
It looked as if the door had slammed shut in his face. The next instruction was clear, “Arise, and go to Zarephath and dwell there: I have commanded a widow there to sustain you.” When a man is walking in the plans and purposes of God for his life/ministry, he can never be stranded.
God will always see to it that he is taken care of no matter what is happening to people around him. Maybe your own brook has dried up and a major door has closed: you may be wondering, “LORD, what next.. ?” Don’t despair! There is another door that will soon open for you.
THERE IS A NEW DOOR AFTER YOUR BROOK DRIES UP! Stay in faith, hope in the Lord and you will see His glory!
