Morning Devotion 26th June Topic: Waiting on His Goodness. The wicked flee when no man pursues them, but the [uncompromisingly] righteous are bold as a lion. - Proverbs 28:1 One of the main reasons people do not pray and that they are reluctant toask God for what they need and want is that they do not feel worthy. They do not feel good about themselves; they do not feel that they are spiritualenough, so they don’t believe God would listen to them anyway. We all make mistakes and when we do we should receive God’s forgiveness and mercy, which allows His blessings to flow even when we have made mistakes. When we talk to God and make requests of Him, we must understand our position as sons and daughters of God who are made righteous through the blood of Jesus. Otherwise, we maynot hear His voice clearly or perceive His answers accurately. You see, we sooften think our righteousness is based on doing things “right”—saying the "right" words, behaving the "right" ways, or having the “right” attitude. The truth is that we cannot make ourselves righteous. We can make ourselves religious, but we cannot make ourselves righteous. True biblical righteousness is not based on what we do right, but it is based on what Jesus did for us. His righteousness becomes ours by faith, and once we believe that, then we progressively display more and more right behavior. But, we must always remember that God answers our prayers because He is good, not because we are. We can approach Himboldly in prayer and expect to hear from Him daily. God’s word for you today: God will turn your mistakes into miracles if you trust Him and pray boldly
