Divine Cultivation
"I the Lord do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day."
~ Isaiah 27:3
"When the Lord Himself speaks, the word has a peculiar weight. It is Jehovah Himself who is the keeper of His own vineyard; He does not trust it to any other, but He makes it His own personal care. Are they not well kept whom God Himself keeps?
We are to receive gracious watering not only every day and every hour, but "every moment." How we should grow! How fresh and fruitful every plant should be!But disturbers come, foxes and boars. Therefore, the Lord Himself is our Guardian, both "night and day." What, then, can harm us? He tends, He waters, He guards; what more do we need?
(By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)
When you start to feel alone and afraid, just remember one thing, God is right by your side. Rebuke fear, rebuke loneliness, rebuke doubt, most of all rebuke the devil. God's word says, "Resist the devil and he will flee." Where God is evil cannot stay. Children of God, I erge you to stay in the Word of God, without it, without God's presence, doubt and fear are able to sneak in and grab ahold of you. Lord, we pray that this day, this hour, this minute, and this second, You will bring Your precious peace, and comfort to let us know that You are near, that all we have to do is call out Your precious Name. This we pray in Jesus Christ' precious Name, Amen!
