TOPIC: WHO IS BEFORE YOU?
BIBLE TEXT: I have set the Lord always before me: because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved – Psalm 16 vs 8
We get seemingly carried away in worship when we reverence God with this popular song: ‘I’ll put you in front, in front of my melody, You are all that matters'.
The song went further to say: ‘I’ll make room for two, You and I Jesus, You are all that matters.
The Psalmist says: I have set the Lord always before me; I have given the Lord a permanent position always before me, and then he added, because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved; because He is beside me; to hold me, to carry me, to comfort me, to talk to me, to counsel me.
Who is before you? The Psalmist made a solemn decision to put the Lord before him; and afterwards, the Lord settled at his right hand.
Starting a new day this morning, what have you placed before your day? It is good to plan ahead. We plan so much and forget to involve Jesus in our plans. We wake up in the morning, straight to the bathroom; to the kitchen; doing chores. That’s why when the day looks rough and bumpy, there’s no Word in you to redeem the day and the storm overwhelm us and sweeps us away.
Your job is before you, your spouse is before you, investment, office schedule, money, business, clients and customers, relatives have all clouded our minds, but no place for God. Can your money give you joy? Will your relative be there always to encourage you? There are things that pertain to life and destiny that can only be yours when The Custodian is before you. Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established – Proverbs 16 vs 3.
Prayer: Go on your knees and commit your day into the Master's hands, thank Him for yesterday and also thank Him because He is in charge of your tomorrow.
Insight: Do not forget to repeat this process tomorrow morning.
God help us to always remember that you are incharge of our lives no matter the situation we find ourselves.
