did you read today's Daily Devo? anyway, it you haven't, here it is:
Don’t Be Dust-Conscious
Luke 13:11
11And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bent over and could in no way raise herself up.
Imagine being bowed over for 18 years. All you would see is the dust on the ground. That was the predicament of the woman in Luke 13. Dust was all her eyes fell on, all the time, everywhere she went, until she became dust-conscious. Thank God she finally saw the beautiful feet of Jesus, who brought her good news and raised her up.
Now, dust is the devil’s food. The Bible tells us that God cursed the devil to eat dust all the days of his life. (Genesis 3:14) Dust represents death. (Genesis 3:19) The devil wants you to be like him — to fall flat on your belly, crawl and eat dust. To eat dust is to feed on your shortcomings and lack, until you constantly feel that there is so much in your life that you need to clean up. You may not be physically bowed over, but like the woman, you become dust-conscious and life every day is a struggle.
Having a dust-consciousness also affects the way you see others. You look at people’s faults all the time. You point out their shortcomings and rake up their past failures. When you are dust-conscious, you find your relationships robbed of peace and joy.
And if you, like the woman, keep looking at the dust, before long, that inward position of dust-consciousness becomes so entrenched that you become the devil’s food because dust is what he eats. God’s Word describes him as being like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. (1 Peter 5:8)
If you don’t want to be devoured by him, then lift your eyes above the dust! Instead of looking at your failures, look to Christ who has delivered you from every defeat. See yourself the way God sees you — righteous and holy in Christ. (Colossians 3:12, 2 Corinthians 5:21) You are not dust because you are not in and of the flesh — you are in and of the Spirit. (Romans 8:9)
My friend, the more you realize who you are in Christ, the more you will straighten up and walk the way God sees you — a new creation with His authority, power and overcoming Spirit!
do you see the part that is in BOLD?
anyway, just wanted to point it out because it reminded me of what our Beloved Pastor Prince said on Sunday.
Faith = seeing your need/ your emptiness, and seeing Jesus' fullness and bringing all your emptiness to him.
anyway, for now, it's a period of our Tests and Exams, whatever you do not know or do not understand or maybe you're afraid that you can't remember everything you studied, just bring it ALL to Jesus and believe that he is your wisdom, he will bring everything you've learnt/studied to remembrance. You are the head and not the tail, you are above and not beneath, Daddy's supply is FAR MUCH greater than your demand(to help you in your exams). So don't worry.
He loves you and he cares for you.
BYE AWESOMES! i hope this blessed you.
