Tear Down the Walls (Devo 02/29/12)

Jeremiah 30:17

Scripture:

"But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds, "declares the Lord. "Because you are called an outcast, Zion for whom no one cares."

Observation:

Putting walls hinders us from receiving more from God. We always put in our minds that no one can hurt us if we don't let anyone get close to us. But we don't realize that it won't work. Sometimes it hinders God's plan to take place in our lives. The wall you've built to keep others out has locked you in. The Lord wants to be our protector, but He cannot, if we are busy trying to protect ourselves. Our God is our Healer and our Restorer. He is our protector. Our comfort in times of distress.

Application:

The Lord teaches me to tear down the walls of fear that I've built around myself and tear them down through faith. Receive the healing from Jesus. When someone hurts us, take it to the Lord in prayer and be willing to handle it His way instead on my own. God doesn't promised that there will be no pain, or we will never experience to get hurt. What He assures us is He will be with us, He will be our Healer, we just have to let Him do His plans! :)

Prayer:

Lord, sorry for the times that I didn't trusted You and tried to rely on my own strength. I believe that You are my healer. You are more than enough for me! Thank You! Help me to tear those walls of fear around me. I love you! Amen.
