David Jeremiah Devotional 1st September 2022 MESSAGE
We can be tempted to think that some people who don’t care about God live an easier life than we do. When such temptations arise, we need to know how to respond.
Those aren’t just twenty-first century thoughts. A psalmist named Asaph wrote an entire psalm about the struggle to reconcile what he saw around him—specifically, the prosperity of the wicked (Psalm 73). He confessed to God his lack of understanding: The wicked have no struggles or troubles; they are proud and arrogant; they pay no attention to God and His ways. His turning point came when he entered into God’s presence: “When I thought how to understand this, it was too painful for me—until I went into the sanctuary of God” (verses 16-17).
In God’s presence, the psalmist gained a divine perspective on this world. He concluded: “But it is good for me to draw near to God” (verse 28).
When you are confused about life, when you have questions you can’t answer, sit in God’s presence. Focus your mind and heart on the truths of His Word and be encouraged.
Anxious care is out of place in a heavenly Father’s presence.

Salvation Prayer
Have you ever made Jesus the Lord and Savior of your life?
If not, pray this prayer and start a new life in Christ.
Dear God, I come to You in the Name of Jesus. I admit that I am not right with You, and I want to be right with You. I ask You to forgive me of all my sins. The Bible says if I confess with my mouth that “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead, I will be saved (Rom. 10:9). I believe with my heart and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is the Lord and Savior of my life. Thank You for saving me! In Jesus’ Name I pray. Amen.
