As for me, since I am poor and needy, let the Lord keep me in his thoughts. You are my helper and my savior, O my God; do not delay. –Psalm 40:17 (NLT)
MY HELPER, MY SAVIOR
A poem and essay by ILMA
Who is always there for you through thick or thin?
God is with you constantly even when you have sinned
Run to him, he will faithfully send you his helper
The Holy Spirit lives inside your heart to make you better.
Ask the Lord’s assistance for he saves you from your sin nature
Plead him to keep you in his thoughts so you will be a victor
No other god can surpass Christ’s mercy and salvation
Let us trust him completely and depend for his provision.

There are many people I have relationship with who are not dependable because they are just too busy with their own lives to even find out what is happening with me or don’t really care. It is only God who have proven himself to be there in all situations I am in. Whether in my successes and failures, he is always there for me. He answers all my prayers when he deemed it good for me. He protects me and he constantly understands what I am going through. The bible tells us to run to God for he is our helper and our savior. Only God can faithfully respond to us.
PRAYER
Lord, I plead for your healing.
REFLECTION
Why is seeking God for help an act that all Christians should do?

THE MESSAGE NOURISHES Poem Devotional

June 17                                                                               The Power of God’s Word
You must give them my messages whether they listen or not. But they won’t listen, for they are completely rebellious. Son of man, listen to what I say to you. Do not join them in their rebellion. Open your mouth and eat what I give you.–Ezekiel 2:8,9 (NLT)

A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you hear the message that God sent?
Do you ignore, twist it or bend?
Are you obeying and following his commands?
Do you fight him and constantly demand?
The message comes from your creator
Without his word, you will continually make blunders
Do not join the rebels, open your mouth and receive his message
Consume the truth that will set you free and you’ll be granted courage.
What happens when someone sends you a message? In this Information age, we receive and give messages constantly. Sometimes we are aware of what we send or receive, but there are also moments when we clearly do not comprehend the message we get or give out. Communication barriers are hindrances to receiving the correct information. These hurdles block us from receiving or giving the message clearly.
In Ezekiel, the Lord gives him a message to tell the Israelites to stop rebelling and accept his spiritual food, which is his word. The Lord commands them to receive his message which will set them free.
PRAYER
Lord, keep me constantly hungry for you.
REFLECTION
How is the message our spirit’s nourishment?
