We have celebrated Easter and I’m sure we took time to thank the Lord for His love. Just in case you didn’t, 😉 please take time do so. His sacrifice on the cross was the greatest sacrifice for all mankind to redeem the lost and restore us back to Himself. 1 Chronicles 16:7-10.

Does our ego get in the way of God’s will? Are we so preoccupied with self that we cannot see God’s will? May the Lord speak to us whenever that happens and may we be quick to allow Him to have His way, so that we are not described like the people in 2 Timothy 3:1-9. BLESSED EASTER.

Dying to self should produce christ-like character in us. It makes us understand His mission and our role in it better and this ought to increase our conviction to live for Him. 2 Corinthians 5:20.

Someone cuts in front of me in traffic and I have to swerve or brake and he deserves to be reprimanded. I need the grace to ask the Holy Spirit what to do and the grace to hear and follow what He asks me to do. My natural reaction may not have been what He expects me to do. That’s dying to self. Psalm 119:41-48.

One crucial thing we all have to try and do continuously if we intend to make our life less complicated is to die to self. If we manage to do this, it will positively impact every decision we make. Galatians 5:24.

During a very difficult time, Hananiah shared an encouraging prophecy and the children of Israel were happy. But his prophecy contradicted what the Lord had spoken through Jeremiah. May we not be misled. May we test what we hear by searching the scriptures, praying and waiting on God. That brings us back to the issue of knowing God well. Jeremiah 28:1-17.

The confidence that the children of Israel had in God sometimes is admirable. It shows absolute trust in Jehovah. I pray that I will learn to do the same. That also means I need to spend time with Him to get to know Him better. Psalm 46:1-5.

In 1 Kings 1:15-34, David kept his vow to make his son Solomon king and not Adonijah, who was also his son. Adonijah had already declared himself king, but David remembered his promise to Bathsheba. God is more faithful than we are. His love for us is the reason for His favour and mercy that He bestows upon us.

Let us also not take the amazing love of God for granted. He is so merciful and gracious that we can sometimes forget how fortunate we are to be where we are. May we always hunger and thirst to grow in our knowledge and understanding of Him. Isaiah 25:1-12.

Would a change of attitude or behaviour bring about a change in some of the circumstances we are facing? Is there something we could do? For Judah and Israel, infidelity towards God and their spouses grieved God and caused Him to withdraw His favour upon them. Malachi 2:11-14.
