TOPIC: MAKE HIM YOUR CONFIDANT
Read Isaiah 45:21-25
[21]Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.[22]Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.[23]I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.[24]Surely, shall one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.[25]In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
MEMORISE: For in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring’ (Acts 17:28)
EXPOSITION
Getting along in life is unthinkable without an intimate relationship with God. Man’s whole existence here becomes worthless and empty without God, through our Lord Jesus Christ. Yet, not everyone can boast of a meaningful, thriving relationship with Him. Only those who have had personal encounters with His Son, Jesus Christ, the Saviour, can make such claim.
To relate with God grants you the privilege of a blessed relationship. You stand to gain more than the whole world when you make Him your confidant. God is not like human friends who often disappoint or betray (cf. Num. 23:19; Prov. 18:24). Human friendship has limitations, but not the divine-human relationship. God will never fail you or let you down. You can rest assured when you have Him as your confidant.
Take advantage of this as you personally tap from His unlimited resources to meet all your needs. You can confidently share your burdens with Him. Let your fears be known to Him, as well as all your needs – spiritual, physical or material. All your cares and concern will be adequately sorted out. You need no intermediary. Just develop the habit of talking things over with Him, whether great or small matters. What a friend we have in Jesus!
See to it, therefore, that you nurture your friendship with Him with wholehearted obedience to His Word and daily submission to His will. It is the most wonderful relationship you can ever enjoy.
PRAYER POINTS
1. Father, help me to make You my confidant everyday of my life.
2. O Lord, deliver me from every entanglement of the devil that is drawing me away from You.
3. Father, give the doubting Thomases in our churches, divine encounters that will regularly help them to be closer the more in relationship with You, daily.
