ALL THROUGH THIS HOUR

READ:

Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation: on You I wait all the day.
-Psalm 25:5

THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Proverb 6-7
2 Corinthians 2

The majestic chime of London's Great Clock of Westminster, commonly known as Big Ben, is familiar to many. In fact, some of us may have clocks in our homes that sound the same hourly chime. It is traditionally thought that the melody was taken from Handel's Messiah. And the lyrics inscribed in the Big Ben clock room have a time significance:
All this hour,
Lord be my guide;
And by Thy power,
No foot shall slide.
These lyrics are a good reminder of our constant need for God's guidance. King David recognised that he needed guidance all through the day as he faced the challenges of life. In Psalm 25, he says "Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation, on you I will wait all the day"(v.5). Wanting to be a teachable follower of God, David looked to his Redeemer for direction. His heartâ€˜s desire was to wait on God with dependent faith throughout the entire day.
May this be our desire as well. Our requests for God's help often begin the day, but then competing distractions can pull our attention away from Him. Lord, remind us to pray:
"All through this hour, Lord, be my guide."-Dennis Fisher.
There's never a day nor a season
That prayer may not bless every hour,
And never a prayer need be helpless
When linked with God's infinite power. - Morton

Let Christ be first in your thoughts in the morning, and last in your thoughts at night.

CAN SATAN RIGHTLY ACCUSE YOU?

Besides discouragement, another weapon Satan uses often against believers is their weaknesses. He simply studies an individual for a period of time and not long after, he identifies the fellow's weakness and capitalizes on it. Take for instance Peter. Satan discovered that Peter is a cowardly person-lacking in...More

SPIRITUAL WARFARE I

When we are told to put on the whole armour of God, one thing becomes clear instantly. This is the fact that there is a God. We cannot be talking of the armour of God if there is no God. Anyone who thinks that there is no God is a fool (Psalm 14:1). You have to pray that God would reveal Himself to you. The...More

SATAN INTIMIDATES

When Goliath came to the battlefield, he took the form of a big problem but he later became a big opportunity. He came as a mighty obstacle but turned into a mighty door of opportunity when God stepped in. Every giant who stands in your way this season shall become a door to your breakthrough in Jesus' Name.
