IN TOUCH DEVOTIONAL 5 NOVEMBER 2021 WITH CHARLES STANLEY
TOPIC: THE KEY TO GOOD THINGS IN LIFE
The best parts of life are attainable only by pursuing the Lord—and the benefits are eternal.
SCRIPTURE: Psalm 84:8-12
8 O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer;
Give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah
9 O God, behold our shield,
And look upon the face of Your [a]anointed.
10 For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand.
I would rather [b]be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield;
The Lord will give grace and glory;
No good thing will He withhold
From those who walk uprightly.
12 O Lord of hosts,
Blessed is the man who trusts in You!
In Touch Devotional with Dr Charles Stanley 5 November 2021 | MESSAGE
The title of today’s devotion sounds like a self-help book that promises fame, wealth, and prestige if you’ll follow 10 easy steps. But God defines life’s good things quite differently, and they’re achieved only by seeking Him. When we make the Lord our top priority, He gives truly good things, such as …
Intimacy with Him. Those who earnestly seek God and walk uprightly learn to know and love Him deeply. He’s no longer a distant deity but a loving heavenly Father who cares for them.
Satisfaction. The empty place in every heart can be filled only by the Lord. All earthly pursuits of pleasure or purpose fade in comparison to the fulfillment He gives.
Joy. When seeking the Lord is your highest priority, you will have His joy in every circumstance. Suffering and difficulties won’t feel as devastating because you’ll trust Him and see the situation from a biblical perspective.
Divine help. We’re invited to come boldly to God in prayer to receive grace and help in time of need (Heb. 4:16).
The things of the world are only temporary, but God’s benefits are eternal. Are you seeking heavenly treasure, or have worldly values sidetracked you?
Bible in One Year: John 12-13
