Focus: The good Act of Desperation

WORD FOR TODAY
Not all act of desperation is evil. However, every man is expected to be desperate when it comes to finding God and pursuing his dreams according to the will of God for him!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"And when they could not come near Him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where He was. So when they had broken through, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying." (Mark 2:4 NJKV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The friends of the paralytic man displayed an act of desperation while ensuring that their friend gets to Jesus to be healed of his paralysis. The Lord saw their act as great faith. The act of desperation that tends towards knowing God, walking and working in obedience to do His good pleasure is a good one.

David was equally known for his desperation towards God. He said "O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you". This is the desperation that we should have for God—a great need or desire for God.

If we don’t feel desperate for God, we don’t tend to cry out to Him. And this leads to spiritual death. Being desperate for more of God should be the cry of every Bible-believing Christian. We should want our cup to overflow with God’s presence and existence, and we should be ever seeking more of Him. Spiritual death comes when we think we have enough of God, when we think our cup is appropriately filled.

Question For Meditation:
+ Are you desperate for God and his will for your life?

Prayer Point:
Lord! I want more of you in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Main Emphasis
If you must be desperate it must be an intense desire for more of God in every facet of life.

Have a Delightful Week Ahead!!!
