OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TEENS AND CHILDREN MONDAY 28TH MAY 2018: NOT YOUR POWER
MEMORISE: For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, fear not; I will help thee. Isaiah 41:13
Please read: Isaiah 41:8-14
MESSAGE:
It is a dangerous thing to trust in great men, wealthy men or even leaders because they can disappoint you any time their strength, wisdom, resources or morals fail them.
It is even more dangerous to trust in self. You may be brilliant, but academic success comes from God.
You may have lots of things to make you happy, but joy comes from God.
You may have diverse security devices, but safety is a
product that only Heaven can deliver to you.
Wherever you are today, it is not by your power, wisdom or making; it is absolutely God’s doing.
Realizing your progress is not entirely your making, it should bring you great joy, because the God working behind the scenes to get you where you should be will ensure that you reach your destination.
Appreciate God for all that He is doing through you.
It is not you, but Him.
KEY POINT:
The one who is truly secure and successful is the one that totally depends on God.

Hymn 1
1. My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Saviour divine!
Now hear me while I pray,
Take all my guilt away,
Oh, let me from this day
Be wholly Thine!
2. May Thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart,
My zeal inspire!
As Thou hast died for me,
Oh, may my love to Thee
Pure, warm, and changeless be,
A living fire !
3. While life’s dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread,
Be Thou my guide;
Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow’s tears away,
Nor let me ever stray
From Thee aside.
4. When ends life’s transient dream,
When death’s cold, sullen stream
Shall o’er me roll;
Blest Saviour, then in love,
Fear and distrust remove;
Oh, bear me safe above,
A ransomed soul!
Blessed week ahead
