JOSEPH PRINCE DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY
Daily devotion by Joseph Prince for today is here. The word of God is food to the spirit man. Read and digest the word of the lord for today and see how powerfully it will impact you.
The topic of Joseph Prince Devotional for 18th December 2021 Is “Pray for Right Happenings”
Scripture: James 5:16 NLT
The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.
The Hebrew word qarah is often used in the Bible to explain God-ordained happenings. The first time qarah is mentioned is in Genesis 24:12, when Abraham sent his servant to get a bride for his son, Isaac. The servant did not know which girl would be the right one, so he prayed, “O Lord God of my master Abraham, please give me success this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham”.
The phrase “please give me success” is the word qarah. The servant asked God to give him qarah—right happening. If you follow the story, you will see how Abraham’s servant was successful in his task.
What I want you to focus on here is the posture of the servant. He prayed for God’s help, intervention, and leading. He had a posture of humility. We all need the Lord in our daily lives.
JOYCE MEYER DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR 18TH DECEMBER 2021
No matter how intelligent we are, we can’t put ourselves at the right place at the right time a hundred percent of the time. Only the Lord can do this for us.
If we stay “low” and lean on the Lord for wisdom, guidance, and understanding, He will guide us and protect us. To pray is to adopt a posture of humility. It is saying to God, “Father, I can’t, but You can.” A lady who attends our church regularly shared that on one of her overseas trips, she got so engrossed in her quiet time with the Lord that she missed breakfast in the hotel at which she was staying. But while she was in her room, a horrific terror attack took place in the hotel’s restaurant.
She was dwelling in the secret place of the Most High and was supernaturally led to linger in His presence that morning. She humbly prioritized her time with the Lord over the scheduled time for her breakfast. If she had gone down to eat, she would have been at the wrong place at the wrong time.
OUR DAILY BREAD DEVOTIONAL FOR SATURDAY 18TH DECEMBER 2021
That is why I like to call Psalm 91 the prayer of protection. When we pray this prayer, we are saying, “Lord Jesus, we can’t protect ourselves, but You can. We humble ourselves before You. Be our refuge, our fortress, and our God. Surely You shall protect us and deliver us from harm in these dangerous times. Lead us to be at the right place at the right time and to be with the right people.”
