Topic: Corinthians 9:8 [John Hagee Devotional 29 January 2020]

And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work

For 400 years, the children of Israel cried out to God for freedom. But when He finally delivered them out of Egypt, they could not get the Egypt out of them.

They had forgotten how to live in freedom. Pharaoh had dominated every aspect of their lives. He controlled where they worked, what they ate, where they lived, and even whether their children lived or died.

After God destroyed Egypt with the plagues, He led the Israelites out of the land. But three days into the wilderness, the children of Israel began to complain. After all the miracles they had witnessed, they began to question: Can God bring us water in the desert? Can God keep us from starving? Can God give us meat?

Have we, like the Israelites, been delivered from Egypt but still hold on to the Egypt inside of us? Do we still question His ability to deliver, to provide, and to satisfy us?

Know, with complete confidence, that God is able. He has overwhelmed us with grace, supplied all of our needs, and has equipped us to do good works. Can God? Yes, He can.

Blessing:

May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you and give you His peace. God can heal your body. God can restore your marriage. God can mend your broken heart. He is able to do beyond what you can even imagine! Thanks be to God for His unspeakable gifts!
