Today's message revolves around the theme of finding strength in humility and embracing God's power and mercy, drawing wisdom from Psalms 18:25–36, Matthew 23, Job 33, and Job 34.
The Reward of Righteousness and Humility (Psalms 18:25–36): Psalms 18:25–36 celebrates the rewards of righteousness and humility before God. The psalmist acknowledges God's justice and mercy, praising Him for His deliverance and empowerment in times of trouble.
Jesus' Warnings Against Hypocrisy (Matthew 23): In Matthew 23, Jesus delivers a scathing rebuke to the religious leaders, condemning their hypocrisy and pride. He warns against seeking recognition and honour from others while neglecting the weightier matters of the law, such as justice, mercy, and faithfulness.
Elihu's Response to Job (Job 33): In Job 33, Elihu offers his perspective on Job's situation, asserting that God uses suffering to discipline and refine His people. He urges Job to heed God's warnings and repent, emphasising the importance of humility and submission before the Almighty.
Elihu's Continuation and God's Justice (Job 34): In Job 34, Elihu continues his discourse, affirming God's justice and righteousness in His dealings with humanity. He challenges Job's assertions of innocence and emphasises the need for humility and trust in God's wisdom and sovereignty.
Strength in Humility: Embracing God's Power and Mercy The title encapsulates the essence of today's message. Psalms 18:29 serves as a foundational declaration of the psalmist's reliance on God's strength and empowerment. The devotion explores the themes of righteousness and humility in Psalms and Matthew, alongside Elihu's reflections on God's discipline and justice in Job. As we journey in faith, may we find strength in humility, embracing God's power and mercy in every aspect of our lives. Amen.
