OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TEENS 30 JANUARY 2019 – TELL JESUS
MEMORISE: Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you. 1 Peter 5:7
Read: 1 Peter 5:6-7
6 Therefore humble yourselves [demote, lower yourselves in your own estimation] under the mighty hand of God, that in due time He may exalt you,
7 Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully.
MESSAGE:
A particular minister of God who was an interpreter was not happy with his incomplete set of teeth. He was embarrassed each time he had to interpret for the preacher.
He was over forty years old at the time. After carrying that burden for too long, the Lord intervened. He woke up to find fresh teeth growing in his mouth at 40!
God cares for your physical body. Whatever the challenge you have with your body, tell Him and He will do something about it. If you expect Him to do something when you have not invited Him, don’t be surprised if He does nothing.
If you want to be taller or shorter, tell Him, if you want to be slimmer or fatter, tell Him. If you are physically challenged, tell Him. If you have any form of deformity in your body, tell Him. He cares about how you look and He wants you to look the best.
You must however take note that God knows best, if He decides not to change what you are asking Him to change, it is for a genuine reason and you must understand and cooperate with Him to make that reason come to pass. Click Here To Read – Open Heaven 30 January 2019

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Exodus 19-21
Matthew 20:1-16
Hymn 10
1. What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!
2. Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
Can we find a Friend so faithful?
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness,
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
3. Are we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He’ll take and shield You;
You wilt find a solace there.
