What God Says Goes!

Chello~

Hebrews 4:12 "God means what He says. What He says goes. His powerful Word is sharp as a surgeon’s scalpel, cutting through everything...Nothing and no one is impervious to God’s Word. We can’t get away from it—no matter what."

Tuesday's DEVO ended with this prayer: "Dear Lord, What You say goes--You and no one else or nothing else has the final word in our life."

That truth is applicable to every single thing in our life. It takes precedence over what bullies say, what doctors say, what our significant others say, what our friends say, even what those with good intentions say. Let this revolutionize the way we approach life. Using the blessing from Tuesday's DEVO, how might we apply this in every day life?

When someone says, "You will never amount to anything." You say, "God has blessed me to be the head and not the tail!"

When someone says, "You will never get out of debt." You say, "The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of His bounty, and send rain on my land in season and bless all the work of my hands."

When someone says, "That professor who has it in for you is powerful and you will never get that unfair grade changed." You say, "The LORD will grant that the enemies who rise up against me will be defeated before me."

When someone says, "You will never have children."

You can do what my friend "L" did. She had been married for a few years and still wasn't getting pregnant. And after checking out both her and her husband, doctors could not find a reason and said to her, "Some women just will never get pregnant, and we do not know why."

Those were devastating words to hear, but thank God she came to her senses and remembered that there are promises in the Word of God that were meant for her.

Consider her prayer:

"Dear Lord, You promised that the fruit of my womb would be blessed. So far I have no fruit for You to bless, but I am asking You to put a baby in there and then bring the blessing You promised--right now!"

That's a bold prayer if I ever heard one. (Does God honor bold requests? We'll dive into that topic tomorrow).

And for the record, she boldly prayed it more than once. Month after month, in fact, and year after year, for three long years, until she did indeed get pregnant and gave birth to a beautiful healthy baby. Glory hallelujah!

What God says goes!

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Thank You for teaching us that Your Word is sharp like a surgeon's scalpel that cuts through all the nonsense and negativity and bring blessings. We receive them all, in Jesus' name, AMEN~
