Counting on God - All The Good Seed Daily Devotionals for 2025

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
Matthew 6:33

Counting on God
I am sitting in the office of a Salvation Army officer. With various examples, the man describes how his operation works. He talks about the people who work there. Many come from difficult backgrounds. They first have to learn to have a regular job. Some come from the penal system. There are also people who have had to flee their country of origin. For these asylum seekers, it is a matter of learning a foreign language and getting used to a completely new culture.

Running such an institution presents the manager with many challenges. Listening to him, I realise that this man is equipped with many skills that benefit him in his task. But when he talks about the positive experiences he always has with people, he emphasises: “We count on God here. That’s why working with this motley group of people is possible at all.”

This remark pleases me very much. You can feel that he is serious. Every day he trusts in God. Many times he has experienced very concretely the way God has helped him.

If we believe in the Lord Jesus, we too can count on God every day. He is almighty; He is always there, wherever we are. If we put our trust in Him, He will never let us down.

Today’s reading: Deuteronomy 30:1-14 · Galatians 6:1-10
