If your God is Mighty enough to ignite the sun, could it be that He is mighty enough to light your path?
God is for you. Not “may beâ€, not “has beenâ€, not “wasâ€, not “would beâ€, but “God isâ€!
He is for you. Today. At this hour. At this minute. As you read this sentence. No need to wait in line or come back tomorrow. He is with you. He could not be closer than he is at this second. His loyalty won’t increase if you are better nor lessen if you are worse. He is for you.
God is for you. Turn to the sidelines; that’s God cheering your run. Look past the finish line; that’s God applauding your steps. Listen for him in the bleachers, shouting your name. Too tired to continue? He’ll carry you. Too discouraged to fight? He’s picking you up. God is for you.
God is for you. Had he a calendar, your birthday would be circled. If he drove a car, your name would be on his bumper. If there’s a tree in heaven, he’s carved your name in the bark. We know he has a tattoo, and we know what it says. “I have written your name on my handâ€, he declares (Isaiah 49:16).

A very encouraging and insightful devotional as usual.
Thank you and God bless you richly.
Right at this moment my heart is heavy. It was during this month last year that I discovered my husband’s infidelity via the net . Though I have forgiven him and we have been praying every morniing to preserve our relationship, still I have these fears in my heart especially at this time. I am not sure anymore if there is really an emotional healing happening because up to now I still fear and still doubt. In all our daily prayers the Lord has been talking to me, telling me that He has…

Hello Max et, al.
I am very gratefuk for this timely message of today. I am writing exams but i couldnt read at the library today. My head aches cos there are so many worries and anxiety. I am faced with the fear of the future, the unknown. Not that i doubt His love for me, but there are times when God either refuses to speak or we are too lost in ‘what if’ this and that that we cannot pick his voice. I am at that point right now. All i need right now is someone to talk to and am glad to be…
i have recently decide to finally abandon certain ‘disruptive’ lifestyle habits, asked for help from the Main Man, then i read this. got goosebumps thinking about about God cheering me on. thank u, Lord.
I have never been so touched like I am today. Indeed God has a tattoo and that is my name JOYCE ESI NKETSIABA on his arm. He has my birthday circled on his calender. I am indeed blessed. Thank you Max!
