Deeper Life Daily Manna Devotional 27 January 2018 – Pastor W.F Kumuyi
Topic: A Glimpse of His Grace
Bible Text: Psalm 76:1-12(Daily Manna)
Key Verse: “At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep” (Psalm 76:6).
Message: In 1863, former President Abraham Lincoln of the United States declared in a state address: “We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of heaven; we have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity; we have grown in numbers, wealth, and power as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us, and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us.”

That was a sincere acknowledgment of God’s graciousness to America which hitherto placed its trust in Him. If so much could be said about God’s grace and greatness towards America, more of such can be said about Israel. The Psalmist acknowledges and celebrates this, especially as demonstrated in the defeat of the enemies of God’s people. Great men of the world, stout-hearted, powerful and tyrannical, may rage but at the rebuke of the Most High, they and everything they trust in are destroyed. For this, God ought to be feared and worshipped by all.
It is sad that most people know little about the incredible greatness of God (Isaiah 40:15,17). By His power, He is able to preserve His people till date. As true believers in Christ, we are recipients of God’s bountiful grace. He is our Defender and Refuge. We ought, therefore, to honour Him with all our being and belongings.
Thought for the day: God is truly gracious and good: appreciate Him and live by this truth.
